Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Office Snitch
Snitch is an office employee. He is Kristi's personal assistance and he owns half of her desk (well, the middle half). He is helping answering customer calls and messages.
When you visit our Garden Center, be careful when you open the office door and step in - Snitch might be playing a Doormat!

Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: Ricki
The Smallest Cat
Ricki is a tiny little cat. He is already 3 y.o. but still feels shy because he always has been the smallest one... He arrived to TopTropicals as a little kitten, along with his 3 sisters, Charlie, Purry, and LadyBug, in a box. Ricki was the last kitten in the littler and almost half the size of other kittens! But his ears were the biggest. So he became a very Wise Puuurson who knows how to Listen.
Not only Ricki was the smallest, but he also was pretty sick when we first got him at the age of 4 weeks. He had a bad infection in both eyes and could hardly see anything... His 2 sisters got adopted by employees, but no one wanted to adopt poor Ricki... so he stayed at TopTropicals. Almost 2 weeks of therapy finally helped him to get all better. Now he is one of the cutest Little People!
Ricki has his own spot at the corner of a dinner table. He is not interested in stealing any food (unlike Wesley), he just wants to be involved in a dinner conversation...
Ricki likes treats and remains very shy, staying indoors. If you visit our Garden Center, you may bring him a small treat - his favorite "Temptations".

Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: James Coconuts
Winning a Lucky Ticket for a Croissant
Many of you have already met James Coconuts who has been in charge of
our Customer Service Team for a long time. After many years of hard work,
Coconuts is now finally retired in a comfortable home but still does some
consulting for Anna Banana and other office team members. So you will hear from him
again in our Blog, helping with planting, and organizing holiday events.
Originally, Coconuts came from the Middle-of-Nowhere (what a surprise).
Tenants from our old property in Punta Gorda left him behind when they moved
out... So Coconuts lived in woods for a month and, considering being deaf
(but not dumb!) from birth, living in the wild was quite a challenge for him.
When he saw our car, he jumped right into the open trunk and never regretted
that decision. We left us no choice but to take him into our big CatFamily. He
had starved so much that he ate a whole croissant... as we had nothing else
to offer at the moment... Since then, Coconuts went through lots of troubles
including a minor stroke, being run over by a truck, lost in woods again for
a month, and surviving a wild animal fight followed by a life-threatening
abscess. Finally, he decided to stay away from trouble and happily landed on his
couch with Margaritas and Nachos, getting chubby, singing his favorite opera
songs, and writing poetry.

Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: Wesley (Vasiliy)
Vasiliy is Russian Blue. Everybody calls him Wesley. Wesley is Marco's twin brother. They both were found as little kittens in a box
that someone dropped off... right, under TopTropicals car.
Marco is long hair, and Wes is short hair, so Wes doesn't get a haircut
like his bro.
Although Wes is much bigger and fatter, he is not as brave as skinny Marco
who fearlessly spends his days at the front gate. Wes is afraid of Thunder,
Rain, and a Doorbell. So he is mostly hiding behind the scene... unless food
is on the table!

Meet PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the Day: Lil-S*
You know how it is, cats are like potato chips, they can't be just one.
And they come to you, they adopt you. They always pick the right people.
Every one of them has a story of their appearance.
Lil-S* came from a car engine. One cold winter morning of 2013 when we
were about to start a car... lil "meow" squeaked as a warning... Thank God
the engine wasn't started. She was hiding from cold under the hood right on the
engine, probably still catching some warmth from it... She was 4"size
kitten that fit in a palm of your hand... And she always has been a handful!
That's why we named her Little Sh*t.
Lil-S* likes to hang out with Marco in front of TopTropicals gate, greeting the customers.
