Cat of the Week: Trevor
Posted August 31, 2010
If you’re looking for a care-free buddy with a huge heart, search no further. Meet Trevor!
Trevor may be the most laid-back cat at the Refuge. He enjoys walking along the fence catching the rays of the sun or lounging around the Studio building on his back, legs akimbo. Trevor loves attention but does not actively seek it out. He enjoys being held like a child, on his back, you name it. Belly rubs? He loves ‘em.
Trevor gets along with everyone, whether it be other male cats, female cats, dogs, kids….he has never met a stranger.
Trevor came to the Refuge in January 2008 when he was just a few days old, along with his sister Tayla and his mom, Tessa. Tessa is a manx (no tail), so though Trevor and Tayla both have tails, they are part manx. The girls have both been adopted, and it’s time for someone to adopt Trevor!

- We got our permit approved to start construction of a new septic system. Work began in mid-July.
- Our June 27 fundraiser, “Goathouse Cat Café,” hosted 30 guests and served delectable Italian pastries and beverages. A special thank you to the Il Palio Ristorante for providing delicious Italian gelato.
- Our May “Brunch in the Garden” event drew in another crowd of 80 hungry people. Guests were treated to a four-course dinner prepared in an Italian brick oven and served on plates created by Siglinda. Our volunteers did an enormous amount of work preparing for the event and did a fantastic job assisting Siglinda with the cooking and serving our guests.
Cat of the Week: Monkey
Posted August 24, 2010
This adorable girl is super friendly and affectionate. Monkey has a beautiful muted tortie coat, mainly grey with some peach and white swirled in. Not only is she good-looking, she’s one of the sweetest cats at the Refuge. Monkey has a wonderful and easy-going personality; she loves people and is content to just sit in your arms and be held.
Born in July 2008, Monkey spent the first year of her life as an indoor-only kitty in a loving home; she came to the Goathouse in August 2009 when her owner could no longer take care of her. Monkey is highly adoptable and deserves a second chance at finding her forever home. If you’re looking for a sweet and loving lapcat, come meet Miss Monkey soon!
