Welcome to our Customers' Beauties Photo Gallery!

Our customers, Sheri and John, purchased the Funland 11 for their cat "kids" (see their cats' photos below), but Sheri also contributed the following story and photos above, which we just had to share as it's so remarkable! Sheri says, "My parents are proud to share their home in the country with 6 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot, and a pet wolf!! All of the animals they have were rescued from abandonment or abuse situations. The wolf had somehow become separated or alienated from her pack and always scrounged for food where my father worked. My father made sure she had scraps to eat everyday and she became increasingly more tame with him over time (similar to the Dances with Wolves scenario). One day the owner of the company mentioned his plans to shoot and kill the wolf and my father begged him not to, promising he would ‘take care of her’ - and take care of her, he did! He was able to bring her home and he and my mother took her to their vet. He warned them she would always be wild so not to expect to be able to domesticate her, but agreed under the circumstances to help them with her, saying she would never survive on her own without a pack. My mother and father learned as much as they could about wolves and their instincts and behaviors, and she eventually adopted my mother and father and their dogs as her pack, and sleeps in their bed with them every night with her head on a pillow! She reluctantly tolerates the cats but never tries to harm them, ignores the bird, and has taken her place as the alpha female with the dogs and they recognize her as such. It's very heartwarming to see the mutual love and respect between this intelligent, warm and loving animal and my parents, to be sure. We believe God brought her to the right place and the right person so she could be spared, and there is no doubt that if need be, she would give her life for my parents in return. What’s really neat is they have taught her to howl when they ask her if she’s a wolf or a dog! They’ll say, ‘Baby, are you a wolf, or are you a dog?!’ and she’ll sit down and put that nose straight up in the air and make her mouth round and hooooowwwwl as if to say, ‘A lowly dog? No way! I am WOLF!’ "

Thank you so much Sheri for sharing this heartwarming story, and thank you, Glen and Sharon, two kind-hearted animal lovers who wholeheartedly, without hesitation, embraced this beautiful creature, who may not have survived otherwise! ... and also for rescuing all your other beauties ... we applaud your compassion!
