Caboodle Ranch


In the year 2003 Craig Grant's son moved out of his condo leaving behind his pet cat Pepper. Craig originally was not a cat lover but that would all change.

Pepper got pregnant and Craig now had six kitties. As time went on Craig realized that each cat had its own personality and couldn't believe how satisfying it was to be part of their lives.

In November of that same year Craig created what is now known as Caboodle Ranch! In 100 acres of wildlife Craig created a Sanctuary for over 500 abused and abandoned kitties. All kitties are spayed and neutered.

Hachiko (A True Story of Neverending Loyalty)

In 1924, a Professor named Hidesaburo Ueno, who taught at the University of Tokyo found Hachiko as a stray and took him in as a pet. Until May of 1925 Hachiko greeted the Professor at precisely 5:00PM each day at the nearby train station.

In May of 1925, Professor Ueno died while at work never returning to pick up Hachiko. Not knowing the Professor had passed away, Hachiko waited at the train station every day for the next nine years for his master to return.

Hachiko died at the train station on March 8, 1935.



This is a true and very touching story! It is very hard to watch this movie and not cry! (Duey's Place has given this movie a rating of 8 out of possible 9 lives!)

Cat Shot in the Head with an Arrow!


A four year old cat named Brownie in Bloomington Indiana was shot with a 13 inch arrow. The Veterinarian who performed the surgery said the arrow nicked the skull just up above the eye socket. Brownie is lucky to be alive!

The Monroe County Humane Association is offering a $500.00 reward for information leading to the arrest of the individuals responsible!
