The 7th Heaven kitties and humans live in what is called the "High Desert" of Southern California, on the north side of the San Bernardino mountains, about one hour east and slightly north of Los Angeles. Here the weather has more of the four seasons than is generally felt in Southern California. In fact, in the winter we get snow and ice and often below-freezing temperatures! Summers are warm and dry with cool evenings -- perfect!!

We are located at about 3700 feet above sea level -- close to the stars! At night, the skies are spectacular with sequined tapestries of zillions of celestial bodies -- big open panoramas. And the daytime skies are very clear, swept clean by almost constant gentle breezes (and sometimes not so gentle breezes!!). Here are a couple more photos of our home..

The Kitten Nursery
The cats and kittens live in the house, and kittens are raised in a bedroom next to my master bedroom, called the "Kitten Nursery." It is furnished with a comfortable day bed where I can nap with the young babies and mothers before they are permitted to join the general population. It has a big picture window looking out onto trees and flowers.

Once kittens are fully vaccinated, they are allowed into the rest of the home. My cats sleep with me, eat and cook with me, work on the computer with me..you get the idea!! They are very "helpful.." :-) I am hoping one day that they will learn to do some household chores, like making the bed, dumping the litterboxes -- is that too much to ask??

The Studio
In addition to our spacious and light-filled home, there is the Studio, a 1400 square foot separate building, about 100 ft from the main house, for art projects, photography and cats. The Studio has 12 foot ceilings and plenty of space for kitties to run, jump and play! They have a wonderful view of the mountains, trees and garden through six large picture windows and the Studio has a large, full bath. One day soon, I hope to also have a second full kitchen there.. It has air conditioning and heat, energy efficient windows, etc. to keep the temperature at a pleasant and confortable level all year round. Here is the Studio.
