Bobbi is a beautiful orange and white male cat I met three years ago because the CCSPCA shelter knows I have a soft heart for cats that aren’t perfect. They were ready to put him down at the close of the shelter that day.
Andy Carpenter is what you’d call a reluctant attorney. That means he’d just as soon never take another case. After inheriting a nice amount of money, he doesn’t have to—but somehow, cases find him— and they usually include his weak spot—dogs.
Today we look back on five adopted sisters who are living the type of life that every volunteer at Rattie Ratz Rescue hopes for.

There was no column last month since there was not a lot going on. I was and still am, quite full of cats and kittens. I did not do much trapping either as I was so busy caring for the current load of felines.
I had two kittens die from FIP.
Recently, we encountered a dog named Cole (29070) whose suffering left an indelible mark on all of us. When we first met Cole, he was trembling in his kennel, his body tight with fear and pain. His initial reaction to our approach was one of aggression, but it quickly became clear that it wasn’t aggression at all—it was a response to the pain he had been living with.

In November of last year, Heather adopted two male rats from Rattie Ratz. She was interested in adopting rats because she had previous experience owning them as a college student and she loved it. When her son asked if he could get his own pet rats, their family made sure to start off on the right foot with the most important step in the adoption process—research!
Finally, after another sweltering summer with unbearable days of triple digits, and energy bills shooting through the roof, she has arrived. She has thrown on her cloak of crimson and copper, pumpkin and purple, then secured it with a golden chain.
Mia came to our rescue two years ago from CSSPCA Fresno. She was so feral, hissing and striking at you for no reason. We tried feeding her in our large walk-in feral kennel, but Mia didn’t get along with cats that got in her personal space. So we released her at the rescue where she was able to roam the rescue grounds safely and have her space. As she roamed, we tried to make friends with her, but she didn't want human contact. She hissed at us as we approached her. So we just gave her space.
