Happy Birthday to my John Szimanouskas. Cat Daddy extraordinaire. Lover of animals &music &gadgets &progressive politics. Brilliantly, shockingly, funny. Best human. Always the smartest man in the room and the most humble. I miss him miserably and love him infinitely. -Jan

All I can do is feed them and scrounge up the time and forbearance to TNR. Meanwhile there are 13 inside missing their daddy &me because my mama can’t be left alone for more than a couple hours at a time these days. If you’d like to contribute there’s a link pinned on this profile. We thank you!

There is so much to rant and share but little enough energy left over for venting. I want to come home to my John at the close of each day and work it all out with him. His active ear &his ever-whirring mind. His kindness& commitment. What a pleasure it is to have been his. -jan

This little smitten is doing well and so is my Mama! She had to be transferred to the hospital &was treated for anemia &kidney stones. But she’s returned home &is doing beautifully. Thank you everyone for your kindness and thank you for donating! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

This little sweetness toddled up with his mama a day or so after John passed. His eyes were crusted shut. He looks so good now after weeks of tending, but since he can see me he knows I’m coming for him and he runs😹. Obviously that is not a deterrent. #rescuecats #BeAGoodHuman

If anyone wishes to donate to our fur babies it would be wildly appreciated by them and by me. I am doing my best on all fronts. Consumed with sadness but also trying to maintain a front for Mama. I miss my John. -Jan (2/2)

We are having to make the difficult decision to have mama transferred to a rehab facility. The tools that we were told would be in place to help her at home were not soon enough and, despite our efforts, she is going in reverse due to atrophy and exhaustion and pain. -Jan (1/2)

Rosie sitting in her Daddy’s lap the way she always loved. Mama is progressing V. slowly. It’s going 2take a couple months of PT&OT but there is light. We are grateful. The herd is fine though I am unable to spend the time w/them these days that I deeply desire. My love to you all. -Jan #rescuecats

Things with Mama went from bad to okay to bad again to better. Still in the hospital for a while longer. Still monitoring. Tentatively hopeful. Just a very difficult healing journey ahead of her. Gigi says hey &she’s ready for this shit to be over. Me effin’ too, my girl. -Jan #rescuecats

An update on my Mama: she’s still in the hospital. They shocked her heart to reset the AFib & placed a stent in an artery w/90% blockage. She developed a pseudo-aneurysm In her femoral from the procedure. They just treated her for that. It’s been a wild time, y’all. Thank you for reaching out!-Jan

My little Mama has been in the hospital since Monday- Afib and super low heart rate. This morning they performed a cardioversion and “reset” her heart in the hopes that that’ll do the trick. So far so good! She says she feels better. Another night in and then maybe home tomorrow.

Every day brings its own set of triumphs &despair. Mama Cat Elliot helps. They all do, of course. But I am stricken by the quiet that I once craved &am forcing myself to exist within it. This is who we are now. Living on without him. Carrying him inside for the next leg of the journey. #fuckcancer

I got John’s ashes back yesterday &also the clothes he was wearing when he passed. Specifically his old #dartball jacket. It’s been 2 weeks. It feels like 2 hrs. It feels like forever. I talk of him constantly. I wonder what smart&funny thing he’d have to say about all of this. #rescuecats

Found this old video on John's tiktok. It made me smile. I can't believe it's been almost a week without him. I can't believe any of it is real at all. Gotta be a mistake. Hope y'all enjoy good ol' Brommy at least a smidgen as much as John and I. #fuckcancer #rescuecats www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBkB9C5D/

Tybie was John's constant bed companion-or Hematoma as he referred to him. A sweet, chirpy good buddy for my kind and loyal Cat Daddy. This is just me reaching out at the end of another long day without him to say thank you to everyone for the love and generosity and support. -jan

I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and kindness for my CatMan and by extension me (Jan) and our beloved rescues. Thank you from the depths of my bones. John has been my life for 26 years. Your recognition of his beauty, brilliance, and unequaled humor is a source of light in this darkness.

This is Jan: My John -CatManDude- passed away this morning May 25 at 4:30am. He complained of shortness of breath & as I got him dressed to drive him to the ER he just collapsed. EMS worked on him for an hour. His heart stopped and never restarted. The same goes for mine.

Gotta say, I can admit when I’m wrong. Didn’t think the 2025-26 #NHLBruins were a playoff team or a 100 point squad but they are both! #NHL Bruins vs Sabres in Round One!!
