much . But with cats , you never know . They can be best friends instantly , or they can be fighting for six months . So yeah , that ’ s the fun with cats . They ’ re just so fascinating - the way they interact with each other , and the dynamics of their entire social structure , it ’ s not as obvious as a dog .”
The historic Blue Bell Upper House was the home of “ O Pioneer ” author Willa Cather . The cottage was later owned by cat-lover Bertha Gray Yergat , who bequeathed her residence specifically for a cat sanctuary and established the foundation in 1986 . Yergat ’ s own cats lived there after her death . John and Susan Hamil took over management of Blue Bell and continue to be board members today . Susan is the executive director , while John is the acting treasurer and secretary .
Most cats live together at Upper House , while ones with special needs are housed separately but close by at

Anderson Wentzel House or Lower House . All animals live cage-free , with 24-hour health care available from local veterinarians . Every resident gets a regular check-up and blood work at least once a year , along with shots , medications , surgery and dental care .
“ It ’ s really quite an operation ,” Mikula said . “ Each of our 40 cats gets their own medical chart , and every day , we record all the medications they get regularly and any treatments they ’ re getting that are outside of that . Also , if we check their weight , if we trim their nails , if there is any vomiting or diarrhea , we record all of that . That ’ s what having staff enables us to do , really pay attention to detail and care for them .”
This kind of care and attention requires five paid staff , two janitors and an army of 41 active volunteers ranging from 17 to 89 years old . They collectively spend around 80 hours a week caring for the cats with flexible

commitment levels . As a non-profit , Blue Bell heavily leans on donations from the public to stay operational , and because of rising vet and pet food costs , it ’ s needed more than ever . Not only that , the Founders Gardens , Upper House and Anderson-Wentzel House require regular maintenance .
“ Funding has become more of an issue for us due to the rise in the cost of everything , really ,” Mikula said . “ Also , we have plans for renovations , particularly out here are floors and roof to be redone . There ’ s always something to do here , and we could use all the help from the community we can get .”
For more information on how to volunteer or donate , cat lovers can visit bluebellcats . org or email info @ bluebellcats . org . Tours are by appointment only and can be scheduled by contacting Blue Bell at ( 949 ) 494-1586 or bluebellkitties @ yahoo . com .
