"Mango (right), here shown with his 'bride' Lucy, underwent a remarkable character arc over his lifetime. When he first arrived he was like a mob boss, leading his 'minions' Mishmish (his brother) and Henri in chasing and tormenting other cats. Yet over time and many scoldings, he gradually learned to restrain his worst instincts and embrace his better nature. A fully reformed gentleman in his elder years, he came to be widely beloved by the other cats, including those like Lucy whom he formerly persecuted. The memory of 'Dr. Goach' remains a source of great humor and joy."
In loving memory of Mango (d. 2019)
"Tut and Osiris, twin brothers born on the streets of Cairo, Egypt, could be difficult to tell apart at a glance even after many years living in her household. Yet while sharing a close brotherly bond, they had very different personalities. Tut lived up to his namesake, a clever yet bratty 'boy king.' Osiris came to be known more for his looks, earning the nickname 'Beauty Cat' for his perfect feline form. They passed one shortly after another, Osiris in September and Tut in October of 2019. Their absence is still acutely felt."

"Lucy's entire life followed an upward trajectory, a rare fortune for a cat or any creature. Abandoned as a kitten and tiny and hapless even as an adult, Lucy was rescued by our friend Kristen and found protectors in my mother and I, who defended her against bullying by our other cats. Lucy knew peace and joy in her old age, her neuroses and traumas largely healed, and most of her former persecutors now loving companions. Her passing was heartbreaking, and her absence still felt acutely in the household." (Wolf Gordon Clifton, May 2019)
In loving memory of Lucy, 1998-2018
"Pipoca was such a special, precious soul in my life, but he also embodied something much bigger for me: he was a piece of my home in Palestine that I hoped I would be able to bring back to the USA. I'm so grateful that I had a beautiful year with this sweet being, that I was able to rescue him from a life of living in the garbage or being chased by street animals. He brought me so much joy, comfort, and laughter." (Danielle Williams, August 2018)
In loving memory of Pipoca, 2017-2018
"I was very lucky to have spent a week with Daphne Sheldrick at Tsavo West and at her home in Nairobi National Park in 1999. She was a lovely lady, much like a grand elephant matriarch." (Kim Bartlett, April 2018)
In honor of Daphne Sheldrick, 1934-2018
