Project Ian
A letter from a gardener:
"We just want our paradise back!"
"...My name is Ian, and I am a 21 y/o Natural Resource Management
student at South Dakota State University. In 2006, my family found a small
barrier island lush with foliage and virtually untouched by the modern world, and
we fell in love. Little Gasparilla Island became a piece of our family and
now after 16 years, we still spend months out of each year enjoying the
island's natural beauty.
Enter Hurricane Ian.
With the eye of the hurricane traveling directly over the island, many
homes and materialistic items were destroyed, but more importantly, the once
beautiful"jungle"is now more comparable to a barren desert.
This is where I was hoping to get some help... to restore the beauty of
Little Gasparilla. After almost 3 weeks, neither the county nor FEMA has made it
out to survey our island. And it is almost as if we feel forgotten. After
fending for ourselves for clean-up, I am ready to get to work on landscaping.
Plants are my passion and it pains me each day to wake up and see that 90% of
our Australian and Norfolk Island Pines are completely gone, along with most
foliage and palms.
We just want our paradise back, and many of us will work for it by any
means necessary..."
We replied to Ian who suffered from Ian... We are willing to help his beautiful island, as well as everyone who is looking for help restoring our Florida beauty. Check out our deals and re-leaf discounts we send in our Newsletters. Remember to attend our Garden Festival on Nov 19, with some big discounts as well as free plants for after-Ian re-leaf!
We will make Florida beautiful again.
We will call it Project Ian!

Mama Cat of the day: Josephine
"There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one." - Jill Churchill
Josephine, the street-smart cat, came with a litter (of course!) but quickly proved to be the purrfect mom to her kittens. Her son Charlie Jr. and other 3 kids - Philemon, Sushi and Lily - definitely hit the jackpot at Top Tropicals Sebring Farm!

Cats now demand cable!

💻 Cats now demand cable!
"The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth."
- Dorothy Frances Gurney
🐱 Every cat deserves a good show. Who needs Netflix when you have Catflix? Our cats got Cat TV. What about yours?

Why this tree secured to the ceiling? How cats decorated Christmas tree

🎄 Why this tree secured to the ceiling? How cats decorated Christmas tree
- 🎄 Are your cats ready for Christmas?
- 🎄 This year, as every year, the Christmas tree did not decorate itself. Our #PeopleCats handled the job (as always). Supervised heavily. Questionably executed.
- 🎄 Executive directors: Bob, Cash Quality inspectors: Nicki, Lilimon, James
- 🎄 Bob personally spent lots of time properly installing the "snow" cover under the tree. Once the ornaments were properly installed and tested, Bob disappeared into his secret tunnel system behind the "snow covers", patiently waiting for passers by. Moments later - ambush. Nicki never saw it coming.
- 🎄 The good news: the tree job was well done.
🎁 How are your cats getting ready for Christmas?
Happy Holidays and Meow Christmas!
