Birdie

Birdie adopted us in June of 2022, and quickly won a place in the hearts of all our staff, volunteers, and students.  She usually prefers the air-conditioned office to the barn, though she does hunt throughout the day when her people are outside.  Birdie makes herself at home on the desks, chairs, or in her cat tree and greets anyone who comes into the office.  

Be warned... Birdie does not allow running or horseplay, and will happily swat at anyone who disobeys the rules.
