UPDATE: For the first time EVER all the kittens from a litter have homes and none have to go to be barn cats at the family farm!!! The kindness  of strangers toward these little guys totally made my week. So thank you Natasha from Berwick, Todd and Fay from Annapolis and Kristy from Digby.

All four of these cuteys are in need of a home in time for the Holidays. So please spread the word to family and friends and help us find homes for these little angles.

This may not seem like a big deal to most people but, did you know that this Winter Equinox is a full-moon? We wont have an other Full-moon sabbot until Winter 2018!!! Not a “perfect” one anyway. There will be a full-moon ending Spring Equinox 2011 but that’s the last night of the full-moon. This December 21st is the actual full-moon and like I said this wont happen again until Winter 2018 and spring 2019. So to me this is a big deal.
