Within the LTOL offices, you'll find cats that are looking to be adopted. These lovely pets are from the Human Society of Truckee Tahoe and stay with LTOL until they find their forever homes. To date, almost 100 cats have been adopted from the LTOL offices. Update on Paris
Our Paris
Oh yes, you, you wanted to know something about me. I think it might be better to ask something about you. Are you ready to take care of a cat that needs loving attention? Pamper a cat's every whim and need? Have you completed the application and demonstrated how you'll have fresh fish brought in daily? I mean, let's face this shall we? My name is Paris and cannot not tell from just looking at me that I'm a high maintenance cat? You have to able to maintain me in the style to which I have become accustomed. I will need at least an hour of petting a day and your undivided attention whenever we are in the room together. Please come rescue me from the offices of LTOL; I truly do not belong here. They are nice enough people I guess. They just don't get that I should be the only pet in the universe. If you are not ready to have the best cat in your life well I feel a bit sorry for you. I would never suggest how you should run your home, but yes, you will need no other pets besides me so you might as well get used to that idea right now. Update on Berlin Editors note: Our playful Berlin has been adopted into her forever home. We thank the lovely folks who took her home to make her part of their family. Of course, we're sure her debute video made her a star. Meet Berlin! Hi! I'm Berlin. Quite honestly when I was come up with something to say to everyone I really couldn't think of a whole lot to say. I'm told I'm cute, adorable, inquisitive, darling and curious. I'm black and white and I like to look into boxes and see what is around the corner. I am a bit thin (read petite) and I am told I am on a make-me-eat-so-I'm-fatter diet. But I'm a young lady and young ladies should be dainty, eloquent and the like. I'm okay with dogs, I don't like mice - and they don't like me either. I JUST found out that I like children. A little boy came in and I could not get enough of him, I just wanted to eat him up, in that good way, no biting, no no no. He was just so CUTE, the little boy that is. I hate to say this, but I am your every day house cat and that isn't a bad thing. It's just who I am. I'm a Truckee cat, I like treats, I like wet food. I like your foot, I like their food... just as long as it isn't that icky dry food. Thanks for reading! Berlin Update on Elizabeth
The bad news to us is that we really liked the cat. She has a lot of personality, she was a mouser as well, and she was one of those cats that 'shined' after a bit. She would sit on the back of a chair, on a sill, just somewhere around the office and just laid there, giving tidbits of advice by meowing her thoughts aloud. In case you are curious, Kitty was let outside to do her business. Kitty didn't come back and a neighbor found her and took her to the Humane Society. I suppose the moral to this story is: If you let your cat outside to do its business? Make sure that it is on a leash, has a collar, has tags and any other form of I.D. you can think of. Kitty had been missing for three weeks but now is re-united with her human and home, meowing and happy. Meet Princess Elizabeth Greetings and salutations, I am Elizabeth. No I am not a Liza, a Beth, or even a ZaZa, Elizabeth will do nicely thank you very much. This is not me being egotistical or anything of the sort but I am PRETTY. Everyone says so, I hear that I am gorgeous, pretty, lovely. Is there a word for being exquisite and that hasn't been used to describe me? It doesn’t exist. So far I can tell you I like people because they tell me how pretty I am, how they get lost in my eyes they are the perfect blue you understand. In fact in some circles I hear that soon the color that my eyes are? Will soon be called ‘Elizabeth Blue’. Sage nod. My fur is soft, that color of a perfect latte and really? You want to touch it, rub my belly, and scratch my ears. You really can’t help yourself for in a cat? I am perfection personified. That Greek guy Narcissus was not anywhere as perfect, pretty, and adorable as I am. The ONLY thing missing here is a mirror so I could look at myself and tell myself just how absolutely beautiful I am. Charlotte has been adopted!
Morning Charlotte My name is Charlotte and I should probably get one thing straight right out of the kitty litter. I do not like spiders, spider webs nor will I have anything to do with pigs. I am shy and a little reserved right now. I have a very comfortable kitty couch by a window from which I enjoy sitting and watching the world go by. I like the wet food I am getting. Actually I like it SOOOOO much that I make sure that I clean out the bowl every time just to make sure that I can get more. (Yes I am also a HUGE fan of Pink Floyd and ‘Brick’ CD. I know that if I don’t eat my meat I can’t have any pudding.) I get along very well with dogs; I like to rub up and against them and cuddle. I do not have a problem jumping and so far I have not felt the need to scratch at anything that is not inside my cage. I am also a little smaller then a lot of people think that I am when they first see me. My fur is amazingly soft and you'll like holding me. I really can’t think of anything else to say except that you should come down and visit me at Lake Tahoe On Line in the Business Park here at the Truckee Airport. I do love being petted, picked up, held… scratching is ok too. I am not sure yet about human children only because I haven’t met any. Mr. Puddles has been adopted!
Meet Mr. Puddles! Good day to you. My name is Mr. Puddles. I was the body cat to a Mr. Hitchcock. My job was to lay out the clothes for Mr. Hitchcock, make sure that the humans knew to fill the water dish, and that the food dish was also filled. The place of stinky was also to be changed on a particular schedule and it was my job to make sure that it was done. I was (and am) most accomplished at giving cuddles to my human. I am exceptionally good at my chosen profession. While I am looking for a new engagement, I am for residing at the offices of Lake Tahoe On Line; they seem to know what their jobs are when it comes to me. I am looking for another human to find service with and it matters not to me if it is to a male or female employer. On the matter of dogs, I find that canines are to be ignored. I do not have any real use for a dog but then again I do not have a disagreement with the creatures either. I do enjoy a warm blanket, a cup of tea, a sunny place to contemplate life in general. I find that at the age of 2 that I am enjoying the philosophical bent that is the normal nature of the artistic cat. Do come by, fill out an application and I will see if we are a match. I have to say that having come from the area of California known as Hollywood? I do not mind laying in a window and looking out over the veranda and contemplating a swimming pool. Anna has been adopted!
Meet Anna! Yes... I see. My name is Anastasiya Alexie Dazdraperma Petrov Mihailov. Someone at the Party Headquarters named me Anna because it was hard for them to understand my accent. I am in a holding area until the people I choose to be my human caretakers are found. The building looks to be well apportioned and I am fed well, cared for and given attention. It has not been difficult to adjust to my new surroundings. I have even made an alliance with a dog here in the office, one Pagan. I am permitting her to be my protector and major-domo. It is permitted to bring her treats as a way to gain entrance as for now my funds are a bit low. This is how our alliance works -- people give her treats and she permits them egress into my presence. Being of the older nobility you can tell I am of the established aristocracy due to the gold eyeliner that encircles my eyes. My fur is also of an exceptional quality. I am told that I am quite beautiful, but how could I not be? I have not the patience for other cats. However, in the right home I feel that I MIGHT make that exception. Why not make the right choice immediately? Choose me, I will lay in your lap, look fabulous, accept as is my due, cat treats, the occasional catnip, as well as a loving home. Come petition at Lake Tahoe On Line (LTOL) and I may permit you to pet me. Danny Has Been Adopted! 
Hey, people! I’m adopted. A very nice couple came in to the shop and I decided that they were alright with me. They have another cat at home but it will not be long before she knows who is the boss, ME! So thank you all of you that came in and took pictures of me and talked me up but I’M ADOPTED! Take Danny Home Ok, this holiday thing is alright with me. I got shrimp, I can't say I have ever seen a shrimp but I can say I liked eating the bugger. I also have my own toy now, it is, I have NO idea what this thing is but I can bat it farther than anything. It's on a stick so I have the humans in the office holding it for me. It is nice having three humans taking care of me. I also have my own Apple computer, some human female thinks it is hers but I keep pushing her out of the way and laying on the keyboard looking at kitty movies. Now the BEST thing about being here is that the humans send me mice to play with. They just come in under this big wall thing (they call it a garage door, who knows right?). Anyway they come in from outside and BAM I have a play toy. They must run on batteries or something though after a while they just fall over and stop running. Stop by and check this stuff out at LTOL and say 'hi' to me. Meet Danny! How YOU do'in? Me? I'm Danny. I own this place now just
in case you in curious. You might hear
different stories from
others but this place is MINE. I'm looking for a forever home.
This place? Just doesn't suite my sense of 'style', you know?
So let's go down to it. Dogs? I rule dogs. I personally think that in a previous life I WAS a dog. I can do everything a dog can do just better. I honestly think if I put my mind to it? I could bark. I am a pretty good watch do... err, cat. I do check people out when they walk into my office. I interview them... seeing if they are up to my standards. The dogs at the office know who is boss, and that boss is Danny. Okay, really what it is if I have to be honest and it being Christmas I should be honest, I mean I want gifts and all. I boss "Francie" around, the yellow lab she is still a pup so it is only natural. I pretty much stay away from Pagan and Sophie because, well they aren't pups. I like people, I don't know about babies I haven't met one yet. I would probably get along with other cats just as they knew who as boss, ME. Pandora Updates I never did hook up with that male cat Angus, and I can tell you I was ready! His owner would actually come in, pet me, play with me, and give me treats. The one treat I wanted was some alone time with that boy, MEOW. So I am adopted now. Some very sweet people came in and saw my intelligence, creativity, and my worldly nature and just decided that they had to have me. Of course they did the bribery thing too by giving me a mouse to play with so it’s all good, it’s all good. So thank you for trying to bribe me, I know that some of you came by and checked me out but the first human that brought me treats? Well they won and Angus? I have to say you’re the loser. Meet Pandora!
Thisisallprettyexcitingforme….ok, wait I need to slow down. My name here is Pandora, like the little girl with the box? Yes that is me I am mischievous and I just have to know what is around the corner. The Two Legs at LTOL seem pretty nice, shrug, they are Two Legs what do I know? At the www.HSTT.org? They know me as Tulip, you know a delicate flower? Yes that is me too. (I learned about this computer thing when I was listening to the people here. I’m telling you a cat invented the Internet not some Al Gore Two Leg) I’m cute, adorable, and loving and you can tell that the moment you look into my eyes. I tell you I’m mesmerizing. I’m slinky I think I could be a cat model. You can tell that I am looking for that special someone or family to adopt just the way that I roll over onto my back and entice you to rub me, scratch me, tickle my belly. I am just that much fun of a cat. Can we be ‘catdid’? I think I am meant for big things. Are you a Hollywood Producer? Agent? I think we could make some really good deals. You can see it when you look at me I am the ‘next big thing’ I am telling you! All right that is all for now I will keep you updated… Oh wait! That Angus guy? He is a HAWTTY anyone know where I can get in touch with him. (Fan, Fan, Fan) I’ll set this record straight, mice? Mice are DISGUSTING I am not even sure I want my delicate paws touching the dirty little beasties. But that might be a way in to talk to Angus I will have to give it some thought, TTFN. Pandora Angus Update I've adopted a bachelor human person. He had been coming in every few days and we got to know one another and I decided that I would adopt him. We'll have to see if he is up to my standards, I'm picky ya know. Stay tuned for the next Cat to check out the accommodations at LTOL. Meet Angus!
A few other things to get straight: Dogs. Some dogs, heck even most dogs are ok. There are three here at this place called Lake Tahoe On Line, or LTOL for short. Pagan is the oldest of the pack and a LOT more laid back. She sniffed me I sniffed her -- all good. Next comes Francie. Francie is at best a dingbat. She chases her tail, gnaws on just about anything but we came to an understanding. I’m in charge, she isn’t. Last is the occasional visitor to the shop Sophie. Older dog just like Pagan, she is even MORE laid back. Give her a head rub? She is in 7th heaven I tell you. Mice. Mice? I hate them, feral little critters. Did you know they have the audacity to attempt to come into the shop here? Now the humans here I guess are bright you know for humans and all but they went and got those mouse trap things. Put a little peanut butter in the trap (you know it’s gross when a dog wants some) in it and leave them out and the disgusting, smelly mice are suppose to go in and get trapped. Really? Well there were a couple of the disgusting critters that indeed went for the GROSS peanut butter (Again, really? Peanut butter? I mean dogs eat that.) But those must have been the stupid ones, you know Catwinism. (I know, I know humans think they came up with the thought or word of Darwinism, but no I’m here to tell you it was a Cat. Pippin Purple Cloak to be exact.) The stupid mice get caught in traps the smarter ones get caught by cats. So the humans are all proud of themselves they caught a couple of mice. Whoopie. So, finally the smartest of the humans, the male of course, decides to let me out, first night out? I catch two of the malefactors and well let us just say I got my just desserts, YUM. A couple of days go by, I am still out nightly, but Catwinism has not fully caught in yet because today, Saturday August 29th I again show my appreciation for the humans and leave them another ‘gift’. Sadly no one got sick. So here I am at the offices of Lake Tahoe On Line. I can be found at 12219 Business Park Dr, Suite 14 in Truckee CA 96161. The phone number is 530-582-2080 but don’t call me I can’t use a phone. (Humans). I like treats, if you want to get on my good side bring me treats! Oh try not to have a dog, I mean dogs are ok and everything but I’m a pretty important cat after all I come from the great line of cats Pippin Purple Cloak the first cat to meow out the theory of Catwinism after all. I catch mice because I don’t want to share cuddle time with something with beady little eyes. Yuck. I think that is about it. Ok, time to nap. Do you have any questions about Catwinism or just wanna talk to a smart cat? Write me at angus@ltol.com (As told to a tech at LTOL cause let’s face it if a cat could type would he or she be up for adoption?) |

Not just a pretty face, Paris has been credited with three "enemy" kills this week. It looks like her third victim
drowned itself, making us all suspect that it was 'gaslighted' by Paris. Poor mousie.

To get things off on the right paw or foot we should get down to basics. My name is Angus, someone at the Humane Society of Truckee Tahoe wanted to name me Moo. Moo? I really can’t get my cat brain around the name Moo. Angus much more a ‘ME’ name.
