Hi everyone! I am Sharon and currently I am owned by 4 cats, 2 dogs, and six chickens. All my cats are strays...I am a sucker when it comes to the poor little guys that get dropped off. I have a Calico named M&M, an all black cat with white paws named Socks, Otis which is such a character, and my oldest Tiger who runs the show. They are all a blessing! ;)

My husband brought a long-haired black persian female cat to our family. She now has adopted me and thinks I am her Mother. She follows me everywhere around the house. Here is the rest of our story.

I am excited to join this team, my love for vintage started years ago from the items that my Grandparents have. I am still very fortunate to have one living, she will be 90 in April and I get to stay in her farm home once a week because of work.

My husband and I got married a little over 3 years ago and for a meeting anniversary trip we went to a bed and breakfast in Great Falls, Montana.

I had traveled to the area for work but had never had the chance to look around for leisure.

So one of my ideas on the trip was to visit this historic landmark-

After being in awe on our way home we stumbled into this place-

It was there that I purchased our first antique a Hall China Rose Parade Casserole dish and then it was all over. We started hunting for more Hall China and searching through antique shops, auctions and thrift stores. After that we started selling more than just china in various shops and in March of 2013 we started our own shop.

Through lots of hard work it has grown and we are loving it. In February of last year my Mother suffered the loss of her husband or 12 years and she moved back from Boise to Pocatello to make her beautiful items and help us run our shop.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share this information and I look forward to helping our team grow.

Hello!

I'm Rianne and my lovely, hairy cat is Mīla! Two years ago we took her from a Latvian shelter. Since then she is my best friend! She loves the toys i make for her and we are thinking to make some for the Etsy-webshop.
Mīla helps me out with all handicraft creations.... it's only not going faster when she is "helping".

A picture of her "crocheting":

I'm Carla and I have 3 tuxedo cats. One 14-year-old long-hair male and two 2-year-old short-hair sisters. The girls were rescued when they were 6 months old and came to live with my son and I. Their names are Tippy (black face, white tip of her tail) and Leah (as in Princess Leah for Star Wars Fans - she has a white face with an off center soul patch on her chin). See the girls here:

Hi, Christina and I am new here. I have three kitties. Technically two that are still with me, but I refuse to say that my sweet Freya is not with me anymore. She is still so much a part of this house. My other two are Nala (a twenty lb tabby) and Gigi my sweet little British shorthair. Love my rescues, and love that there is an Etsy group for cat lovers. =)

[PoppyKittenJewellery]

I have three cats : a ginger and white 2 year old girl called Poppy, a 2 year old rescue tuxedo boy called Dexter and a tortoiseshell tabby kitten called Maisie.
I would get another rescue but my husband has said 'no more cats' x

[KittenYarn]

I am Allison of KittenYarn and I have 4 cats.

Snowball--white, stays mostly outside
TigerGirl--tabby girl, likes to stay outside

The Kittens (we still call them that even though they are about 9 months old) :)
Lady Grey Hurricane--pale grey short hair tabby, with pastel orange forehead spot
Fluffy Tornado--Long hair tiger tabby, looks a little like she might have some Maine coon in her

Hi, my name is Maria and I have 2 rescue cats. The female is Tortellina (Tortie for short) and she's also a tortoiseshell! She is semi-feral and it is very rare that I get to touch her. She does trust me and will rub against my legs when she's ready to be fed but tends to bond with her fellow kitty. And her fellow kitty right now is St. Joseph, AKA Joey, AKA Jojo, AKA Mitty McMittman, AKA Joey Mittz, etc, etc, etc. He is a big ole goober. He is grey and is polydactyl-his front paws have thumbs. He is very mellow and loves attention from his mom. Which is a good thing because I love to hug and squeeze him!

[CreativePapertrails]

Hello everyone… my name is Hannah and we have 13 cats. We had 14 not long ago but one passed. All are rescues and most were ferals when we first got them. They are all spayed/neutered and live happily with us.

I used to be afraid to tell people how many cats we had because I didn't want to hear the gasp!. Now it doesn't matter. They are our family and we love them oh so such. Having so many cats means a lot of work, lots of cleaning and lots of litter box detail which we gladly do.

Love all my babies!

I have two cats who are complete opposites. One is a Ragdoll who never moves, unless it's to lay on technology (cell phone, tv remote, laptop -- she is lying on my laptop now, paw braced on my hand). She is our fluffy "throw pillow". The other is a Bengal, a perpetual curiosity machine, very athletic -- jumps from the floor to the top of the shower and from there across almost 5 feet of countertop to a ceilinged area over the toilet room. Makes my heart jump in my throat when she does it, but it's a lovely thing to see and it sure beats watching her try to walk across the light fixture over the mirror! Her nickname is "Trouble". That should give you some idea of what we're dealing with ;) Life got better and richer when these two came into our lives. And our dog? Her name is Kitty!

[southpassbeads]

Hi, I've not introduced myself - I live in Cobden, IL and have 3 cats - Burma (Siamese/Ragdoll mix), Walter (your typical grey tabby) and Sylvia (a tuxedo cat). Sylvia is my profile picture. She's my oldest cat at 12 years.

Hello from me too!:) I have 2 female cats, one lives inside - Mishel, she is a gray persian cat, the other prefer to live outside, a street unknown breed, but not less loved:). Her name is Meow, because she is meowing all the time:).

[Former_Member]

Hi!

I'm Tawna and I have one large cat named Harrison. He's a fluffy long hair purr-machine. He loves to walk outside on his leash and beg me for canned food. He hates it when I sing and is always climbing into the bathroom sink. I adopted him from the shelter about 4.5years ago and still can't believe someone gave him up! But, at the same time, I'm glad they did since now he's mine :)

Hi,

My name is Sharon and I have 4 Cats. My 2 oldest girls are Cali she is 8, and Bailey is 7. I have 2 Boys Max and Trevor who are 3 they are brothers. My sister works for a kitten rescue and one day got a call from a woman that said she thought there were abandoned kittens living in the garage of her neighbors house that was up for sale and no one living there. My sister went over and found 3 baby kittens barely alive, brought them back to my house I nursed them back to health, bottle fed them and kept them safe until they were old enough to go to their first adoption event. They were about 2 weeks old at that time, they went to their first adoption event 1 was adopted that day and it broke my heart to let them go each week to adoption, they only went twice and have been my baby boys ever since. Can't imagine my life without them!

[KazBagsOriginals]

Hi, I have just joined the team. My cat, who is now 14 years old, is called Tigger. I called her this because when she was a kitten she used to bounce all over the place, sideways, like Tigger from Whinny the Pooh!!! She is adorable and loves to sit on my knee and sleep on my or my husbands stomach at night. She used to bring me 'presents', like mice, rats, one time a live snake and a live bat!! Thankfully, now she is older, she can't be bothered to chase things and just stays close to home most of the time.

Hi Everyone!
I'm Indigo and I have a 3 year old All Black Cat named Princess Lady Truffle Lump. (Yes, her full name. She even has a hashtag. I wanted her to be named after a black food & there weren't really a lot of options. She acts like a princess & sits like a lady. the Lump part? Well, she was pretty big at 6 months, even as part of a runt/sick litter. We even thought she might have been pregnant, but the vet said she's just a heavy cat.)
I got her from my local shelter when she was only 6 months old, during one of the frequent "Giveaways" they have. Black cats & dogs are usually the last ones to get adopted, and since she was born at the shelter as part of a sick litter, she was put into foster care to get healthy & in the hopes that she wouldn't be euthanized. I found her on Petango & fell in love with her face. She's been healthy and happy ever since, playing with her toy mice, ignoring everyone at some point in the day and being a brat. But I love her & wouldn't change her for the world. She is MY princess & only listens to me. Lol. THAT goes over well! She has plenty of pics on my twitter and instagram. Lol

I have three rescues. You can read about them on my blog. My most recent post is about making a pincushion from "junk" and leftovers. From reading back it appears most of us make the best of what we can find to hand.
Enjoy!
