updated june of 2007
we get requests all the time for pictures of our four-foots...and i got
them all to pose for me...
below is a list of our current kids and a little bit of history about each
one of them. two live at the shop and the other six live at home with
us.
my name is annie whiz bang wee - my dad calls me 'whizzer'. i am a red
persian that was rescued from roe haven persian cat rescue in october of
2000. i'm the oldest of all the kids...they think i'm about 13 years old
- i was supposed to be four when my parents adopted me. last summer i lost
an eye to a ferel cat and now, i don't get to go out the front anymore...i'm
strictly a backyard only girl, as are the rest of my four-footed family. i
have a wonderful silicon implant in my little orb, so i stay beautiful and i can
get around quite well with only one eye but last summer i lost the sight in my
one remaining eye so i am now totally blind. i hated everybody when i was
adopted...i even scratched the devil out of my mom's face...but she forgave me
and loves me. i was abused and pulled in and out of a cage so often that
my hips are displayed...so i walk like a little girl in ruffly pants and a full
diaper. it's my house...and the rest of them below are just lucky that i
have allowed my parents to adopt more.
my name is BQ. i started out at the rescue as "precious" and
then my parents named me natalie after the dixie chick with the blond
hair. that didn't fit for very long...and they then named me BQ which
stands for beauty queen. i'm almost 8. i absolutely HATE having any
kind of brush or comb applied to my hair...and thus, every six months i get a
wonderful 'poodle cut' at the groomers...and if you can't tell...it's almost
time for my next beauty appointment. since i'm home with my dad all day -
i let him pet me sometimes...but i run from almost everybody and the only woman
that i am a good girl for is sharon who gives me haircuts. my mom has
threatened (just kidding i know) to let sharon adopt me since i'm only good for
her :) and yes, i look just like the fancy feast kitty because i am a
chinchilla point persian. whizzer and i were adopted at the same time...
  
greetings. my name is 'the didnot' and i live at elegant stitch all the
time. i am just a little bit over 3 years old and i keep dixie doodles
company at the store. i was very lucky to come live at elegant stitch and
the ladies adopted me right after bo died in july of 2004. dixie was very
depressed and sad when she lost her bestest friend bo...and i was one of three
kittens that interviewed for the job. i'm so glad that dixie picked me to
live with her...she hissed at my other sister and brother. i am a little
fat girl...and i weigh over 15 pounds and somebody actually asked this week if
i was pregnant...don't even want to hear what my mom and aunties said about that
question. i'm a tuxedo girl and the only non-persian in the group...and
i'm quite special :)
i am dixie doodles. i am a brown patch tabby persian. as you can
see, i have a very difficult life here at elegant stitch where i live all the
time. i spend my days sitting on my mother's desk and in one of two other
baskets with hand made blankies here in the shop and walking around the shop
begging people in a very loud voice to pick me up and carry me. i am about
seven and never should have survived kittenhood because of some severe
sickness. i have in-bred kidney disease and have to take antibiotics every
day. i am spoiled rotten and sometimes i give the didnot a very bad time -
especially when she tries to sleep in MY bed.
my name is ludlow (lolo) for short...and i am a red tabby persian. my
mom and dad adopted me and my brother tristan in september of 2002. i am
the only male in this field of females...and i am a beautiful boy. my
brother tristan had a heart attack on super bowl sunday 2005 and i lost
my best friend in the whole world when he was only 2.5 years old. lucy
bear (see below) has now become my bestest friend, and because we lost tristan...that
gave my mother an excuse to go out and get the two new ones that have invaded my
house. i am my daddy's favorite kitty and i am so gentle and kind (my mom
swears that i am their original persian, punky man come back) ...and i live in a
household with 5 females...that says it all :)
hi..i'm lucy bear...my mom calls me roolie loolie but she has nicknames for
everybody. i'm dixie doodle's first cousin and although i'm about 1/3
smaller in size than dixie...i weigh in at a big 10 pounds. there is
absolutely nothing i love more than my brother lolo - and we spend hours and
hours in the back yard and sleeping on the grass is just the best. mom
tells me that i smell like fresh grass all the time. my second
favorite play toy are the blue jays that come into the yard...and they are even
taller than i am. i'm a little bit younger than lolo...and because i am so
short and have such short legs...i can't jump up on the couch or my dad's desk
without doing the bouncy-bounce and finding a spot half way up the height i want
to jump, jumping to there and then doing the final jump on to the desired
spot. i have very, very long hair and absolutely perfect ear hairs that
stick out. i'm a little bit darker in color than doodles...and i'm quite
beautiful.
 
i am anastasia and they call me stasi!! i am a blue and cream persian,
adopted from roe haven persian rescue the first part of august of 2005. i love my new house, i love my new back yard and all my new
friends. i am a very quiet and gentle kitty who has finally found somebody
to love me and take care of me. i had a hernia as a baby, had the surgery,
was adopted out to a person who moved away and left me with an ex-boyfriend and
he took me to a high kill shelter in the bay area where persian cat rescue came
and got me and then i got new parents. i'm still kind of shy and i want to
play with lucy bear because i'm only five and i can run really fast and i bring
in all kinds of stuff on my tail...but i am getting fat and sassy and need just
a few more weeks to get my kitty feet under me.
 
i am the cat with the biggest attitude in the entire world. i came to
modesto via persian cat rescue and they adopted me with stasi. i actually
came from the modesto shelter to mill valley, california and then bruce and lois
adopted me and brought me back to modesto. they don't know much about me
because i had been dumped on the side of the road in modesto and was not a
'surrender' but a stray. i am five too and i am queen of the world and it
didn't take my parents too long to name me 'tori' which stands for victoria, the
little queen who dressed in black and took no garbage from anybody. i can
get ripping so fast around the house that i have trouble making it around
corners...and my house has tile and hardwood floors...and it's tough going very
fast on hardwood...sliding is a good thing :) my current most favorite
napping spot is on the cream sofa in the living room, on my back with all my
feet in the air. my mother has taken to covering the couch to keep the
black hairs off it - so i fooled her and went to sleep on her new sage green
bedspread - which looks wonderful with my black hair on it. i'm still not
sure who my bestest friends are at the house...but BQ and i would make a lovely
set of salt and pepper shakers - don't you think???
