Our Hardworking Staff

The Clay Alley began its journey on Jan 22, 2001 with a limited number of products, a lot of hope, and much crossing of fingers. Today we have expanded our product line and continue to seek unique and unusual items for the clay artist. We are a two woman and 4 cat operation..... although the women seem to do the majority of the work!

I aim to give you the down to earth, individual attention that is so rare these days. Most of my customers have become wonderful friends. I hope that we will too...... Karen

Sophie

Sophie takes care of customer service and is happy to answer any questions you might have. She thinks getting catnip toys would be a great idea! She's the Garfield gal - same expressions!

Milo

Milo came to us in Sept 05 as a stray. A 6 yr old neutered male who's owners abandoned him. Milo had an unfortunate run-in with another cat and as a result, needed his tail amputated! Its one way to tell him and Sophie apart.

Izzy

Came to us on Aug 27, 2008 at 5 months old. I saw a local ad for free Manx kittens and just could not let her go to the Humane Society. Loves the laser light! Izzy is a laid back quiet gal.

Riley

Came to us June 8, 2009 as a 5 wk old Manx mix kitten. He has grown to be affectionly nicknamed "HellBoy" He is into everything. Give him a ball, a feather, a string, a laser and he is immediately on the run! Hear a noise in the house? Yep, its Riley poking his nose into something!

Dusty

Dusty was our Shipping Supervisor. He loved his white afghan!

Dusty passed away May 24, 2007. He was 10 yrs old. Kidney failure. He was one of those special friends that only comes into your lifetime once, or twice at best. I will always love him.

Punki

Punki, our oldest member, passed away on June 20, 2005.

She was a wonderful friend and companion to me. My musical gal, who kept time with her tail to the beat of the radio. And who was my shadow on most days. I miss her.

Candles

Candles was the Head Honcho

She passed away on Mar 26, 2008. She was 17 yrs old. She could always make you stop working and go for a walk. She is missed.

Maggy

Maggy passed away on May 18, 2009. She was 14 months old. She was a string chaser! Loved to play with just about anything. Romp and play were the words to describe Maggy.

Taco

Taco passed away on June 23, 2010. He had been with us for 3 yrs and 1 day. We believe he was at least 13-14 yrs old. He was such a gentle giant and is so very much missed by everyone.
