i’ve a cat (starra) who comes from Bella Coola ( British Columbia). She was feral and caught there…. cats there live under balconies and such and are hunted by dogs that are sometimes as feral as the cats. Not the greatest situation. My mom at the time adopted another cat for herself that may have been her kitten or otherwise related…. impossible to know.

These are too cool! I basically live in toques in the winter!

i am so sorry for your loss of Theo. He looks like a real treasure. Bless his little tipped ear. My little calico, Fiona, is a one-eyed wonder cat (at least that is what i call her). i don’t know what i would do without my kitties. i love the hats- what a great way to commemorate Theo and help support other kitties in need.

You have my sincerest sympathy for your loss. I lost my sweet Cheeto last Christmas when he was 2 1/2. We always knew we wouldn’t have him for long as he had a hernia that couldn’t be repaired – we were lucky we had him as long as we did. I would love to have one of these hats to commemorate our kitties.

How cute.
October 17th, 2012 at 10:49 am
OMG! As much of a cat person as I am, I don’t usually like “cat-themed” things like clothes, jewelry, etc. That is until I saw these hats! These are hats I would proudly wear and be delighted to explain the meaning of the tipped ear to anyone who will listen.
October 17th, 2012 at 11:04 am
OMG
This is the cutest hat ever!!!
Would love to wear it!!!!

October 17th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
So sorry for your loss. Our Kitty Moushka is 17 and we know it won’t be much longer. Her mother was a stray, living feral and she and her siblings were taken in by my friend and all given wonderful lives. These hats are great, would love to have one.

Having a number of previously feral cats in my house and also having fostered feral kittens I am totally behind the TNR programs.
October 17th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
oh those hata are so cute and i’ll definitely be buying one even if i don’t win one as the proceeds go to such a good cause. i got both my boys off farms they weren’t really feral but they weren’t pets
October 17th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
I loved your story of Theo. I am so sorry for your loss. My Maxxie was a feral and he was the sweetest boy I could ever have asked to adopt. He died suddenly at age 7 of acute renal failure… It is so hard to see them go.
October 17th, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Very cool! I would like to win! But I also hope that someone who is involved with taking care of feral cats wins!
October 17th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
How lovely!
October 17th, 2012 at 8:12 pm
how cute are these, and to such a great cause!
October 17th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
Hats: I wanted to order one last year, but they only took checks. Could they have Paypal or something in the future? I live overseas.
They are soooooo cute.
October 18th, 2012 at 12:05 am
I lost my cat of 18 years earlier this month and I miss her so. I’d love to win this hat.
October 18th, 2012 at 4:22 am
I would gladly display my love for cats and my support of T-N-R by wearing this hat proudly!
October 18th, 2012 at 4:41 am
Why can’t they give a percentage every month? If I had a bigger home I would have more cats and I worry so much about those babies on the street and if I can catch the one by my husband’s work I would bring it home. He/she is black and I’m so worried with Halloween comeing up, if anyone has some good wish for me send them my way that I can catch him this next week.
October 18th, 2012 at 6:29 am
Wonderful hats – love the beige one with the patterned ears! My Rory was found on the street and brought to a shelter, and is a beautiful, loving girl who is also a one-eyed wonder cat. She’s a gem and I treasure her.
October 18th, 2012 at 7:13 am
So cute!
October 18th, 2012 at 9:55 am
I would love to win this for my Mom, she has always wanted one! Thank mew!
October 18th, 2012 at 10:45 am
I just started running a TNR program and would love this hat when going to to trap the kitties I will be eartipping!
October 18th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Very cute hats. Great way to raise awareness of TNR programs. So sorry to hear of your loss, thank you for making Theo such a happy house cat!

I’m so sorry for your loss. I love my Lilly & Lola, but they will never replace my beloved first cat, Nuala, who passed away in 2009.
October 18th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
Adorable!
October 18th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
