Most of the cats pictured in this gallery started their lives as feral kittens in our rural neighborhood. Since moving here in August of 2006 we have befriended these adorable creatures, taunting them into tameness with treats, toys and lots of love. There are cats from six different litters (born between April 2006 and April 2008) as well as the mother cats, Mercy and Snow, and a father cat Grizzly. Mercy is now 'fixed', so no more litters from her! Snow is proving harder to catch... Grizzly is a very new addition, and is just becoming tame enough to pet. As soon as I can actually hold him I'll get him fixed. As the kittens come of age I get them 'fixed' as well, in my own feeble effort to keep the stray cat population down. I also have gotten help from the Socorro Animal Protection Society and The Arc of Socorro Veterinary Clinic, which I am very grateful for. I photograph the cats in their natural environment (our yard) and with natural light -- no studio shots here! I hope you enjoy the images of these adorable cats and kittens, fondly dubbed "The Kat Farm Kittens". Please keep in mind, all proceeds from the sale of prints and merchandise go directly into the care and feeding of these wonderful feline family members!
