Kittums, the Dog-Cat

The barn cats, Peaches and Paige, patrol the aisles, the loft, the stalls and the tack room, on the lookout for unauthorized visitors.

Peaches, Chief Barn Cat, has lived at the farm the longest and was adopted from the local animal shelter. Paige and Kittums arrived more recently, adopted as adults from the local PetsMart. While Paige works with Peaches at the barn, Kittums prefers a dog's life, hanging out with her canine companions up at the house.

Lucy, New Hire

The farm dogs--Pooh Bear, Jake, Greta, and Lucy--announce and greet visitors and keep an eye on their humans. It's a full-time job.

Pooh and Jake are the senior staff. Greta's new assistant, Lucy, arrived last year and the two have become best friends.
