Thank you Seattlish for featuring my photography and the work of Animal Talk on your blog!! http://tmblr.co/ZHQJas19N0J6A

Hopefully the whole city will see it!

You can find our ‘less-adoptable’ cats here: Adopt Less-Adoptable Cats (even though they are supremely adoptable!!!)

Just a couple of cute reasons to keep taking photos at the rescue…

Happy (Cat) Tails | Seattle Cat Photography

March 4, 2014January 14, 2016Leave a comment

Although not all my work is rescue cat photography, it does means a LOT to me, and whenever cats that I have photographed and got to know get adopted, I am always thrilled. It’s not lost on me that it takes a great many people to get adoptions happening, and in the end, there’s not just a happy cat (and happy rescue peeps!), there’s also a happy family and home that have a magical and unique being in their lives. These are just some of the lucky cats from Animal Talk that have been adopted in recent weeks, and all of them, as you can see, are full-grown cats, some with issues such as FIV, and many deemed ‘less-adoptable’. They are all safe today and that makes my heart sing!! Psssht, I say, to them being less-adoptable…they’re all gorgeous!

Thank you adopters everywhere!

The One and Only Rollo!

*The cloudiness you can see on his left eye is from an injury and is healing. Hopefully it will clear more but the eye shows some scarring. You’re still lovely, Rollo! Four years at the rescue and we will NEVER EVER give up on finding you a permanent home. This guy has come a long way. I’ll be deliriously happy when he finds his perfect human pal who understands his quirkiness and feels his sweet character shine through.

Rollo is at Animal Talk Rescue of Seattle.

Photographing the Golden Years | Seattle Pet Photography

February 10, 2014February 1, 2016Leave a comment

Here is the dapper old pug known as Max that I photographed recently. I am really hoping to have the chance for more opportunities to photograph older animals; ones that are in their ‘golden years’. The soul in those brown eyes, the many folds in his skin, the grey whiskers, it’s all fascinating to look at; such character!

To capture memories of humans’ beloved animal friends is such an honor for me. I have heard from a number of people who said they wish they had done a photo session with their dog or cat before they passed on. Please do let me know if you would like to talk about setting up a ‘Golden Years’ or Borrowed Time session with your animal friend, I’d love to hear from you.

Obligatory Halloween Photo! | Seattle Cat, Music Photography

Holly here decided to give me a yawn instead of a scary Halloween cat pose; I didn’t get any ‘scary’ kitties on this day of rescue photographs at all, in fact. Lots of shy ones instead.

So the cat and Halloween… There are many associations of cats and bats and rats (my son loves that these rhyme) when it comes to Halloween, and black cats have particularly had a bad rap when it comes to legend and folklore. Our largely-nocturnal furry friends have/are said to be familiars of witches, and cats belonging to condemned witches during the time of the witch trials, were tortured and killed along with their pet guardians. There is zero correlation between witches and cat sacrifice, so put that idea out of your head; for starters, no true Pagan witch would ever harm a cat. Black cats though, have notoriously been vulnerable around Halloween, thanks to superstition and reports of ritual use; many shelters will not adopt out black cats around this holiday for fear of them being used for ritual sacrificial purposes. I’m a proponent of keeping cats inside (in the city, particularly) where they’re safe from cars, other animals and disease, but I’d say tonight is THE night to do so, rituals or no rituals. And keep them away from the chocolate and sweets!! (more for you that way)

I’d like to share my Flickr set of trick-or-treating for last year: Halloween 2012! My favorite holiday for taking photos. Last year, we were still all about superheroes; this year I have a werewolf on my hands… Sadly I haven’t had the chance to dress up for Halloween this year…quite sad about that (last year I was a zombie cheerleader when I took photos of live music at the EMP).
