About Us
  |
We're Paul and Debbie Dewey. The Sunshine Home at This Old Cat has been a vision of ours
for many years. We both had grown up with cats in our families.
It wasn't long after we moved into our first home in 1979 that
we had our first cat, Charlie Brown. Believe it or not, we
purchased him at a local pet store for five dollars. Without
a doubt, that was the best $5.00 ever spent. Chuck was the
start of it all, living a long and happy life with us until
just past his 19th birthday.
With no human children, we focused on caring for our four-legged
"kids". It wasn't long before Charlie had sisters and
brothers. One after another we rescued and adopted. We have now
settled in with many more -- always with room in our hearts and home for
one or two more should they come along. All of our cats are always
spayed or neutered, all have their claws intact (except those
who had already been declawed long before we rescued them), all remain indoors
and all are kept current on their vaccinations.
Early on, when Chuck and the others were young, we started
asking questions and planning for the care of our cats should
something happen to us. We were surprised to find there were
not many options. It was then, over 20 years ago, the dream
was born. In 2004 that dream became a reality -- a
reality for your cats and others like them -- when The Sunshine Home officially opened its doors! Our lives are our
cats. Virtually everything we do either involves them or revolves
around them. Read some of what others have to say about us and you'll know of our passion for the animals.
We were visited by the Director of Field
Services of this area's largest humane society and he stated he
was impressed with how well-kept and clean our home was, right
down to the twelve litter boxes for the 12 cats. We obviously
do take pride in doing things right.
When is comes to doing things right in the daily care for
your cat, you can rest assured we will know what to do. We now have

ALL the cats in our care receive the best medical care possible! Of course we depend on our veterinarians at the Livonia Veterinary Hospital and Fairport Animal Hospital
for their expertise, too. Their state-of-the-art
animal hospitals are staffed by some of the most knowledgeable, caring people in the business.
Your cat will receive this
same care in The Sunshine Home!
