He has the sweetest demeanor and the softest fur, but also struggles with PTSD. Formerly a stray running Walla Walla’s mean streets, he is enjoying his golden years and teaching the others how to cat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599778207486-BX8Q3V1UP4PN6M4RJWTQ/Tiberia Projects - Cats Tiberia is a California girl who came to us as a kitten. We believe she was found as a stray after the Napa fire. She likes belly and chin rubs, but Tonka is the only other cat she’ll tolerate. She and Denver were bowl buddies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599778235299-ULIAK1997MGB1BOFBU5B/Contessa Projects - Cats Tessa (Contessa, Tessercat) is a member of feline royalty. At least that’s what she tells us servants. It would horrify her that I’m posting this embarrassing picture of her licking her lips post-treats. Definitely not in keeping with her carefully curated public image. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599777844730-3M5SM9GX7JG5W3B3PABG/Theo Projects - Cats Theo (Thelonious) is perhaps the world’s most easy-going cat.

He now rests on the counter where he wasn’t suppose to be in life. The good doctors at Washington State University gave us an extra year together, but we miss him every day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599777804614-ZBS475HIW7P698OI6376/Owen Projects - Cats This is Owen. He was a foster rescue that Tonka and Theo took under their paws and he is now successfully adopted by another family. https://www.jeffstrickler.com/projects/bats monthly 0.5 2022-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1600075317621-KKMNJEDH0JE5AL6HV7U5/Bats Projects - Bats https://www.jeffstrickler.com/projects/chickens monthly 0.5 2022-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599773612335-0E7T38GZX7PSUDINBP3G/Dragon Projects - Chickens Chief Poultry Officer Dragon.

Fern is named after my grandmother. Grandma once said to me “Your generation has more money than mine did, but you have a lot more stress. We enjoyed simple pleasures like the new chicks in the barnyard.“ It was her gentle admonishment that we should seek the simple life that put us on the path to chickens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f585aeb93db2305bef1e16d/1599774376633-A0TWJ89CLPN73JRX0RRG/Gwen Projects - Chickens Gwen (“Penguin“).
