Humphrey
Humphrey

Humphrey is now named Farkus after a character in my favorite movie "A Christmas Story" In the movie Scott Farkus is a bully who is described as having yellow eyes and it reminded me of Humphrey so that is how he got his name. We got a kitten a year ago to the day that we got Farkus and we call him Figaro. That is the name of Minnie Mouses kitty. He is getting along great with Figaro. We have a dog Named Rocky and he wants to play so badly with Farkus. Farkus is warming up to him but I think it will take a little bit longer for them to be best friends. Thank you for taking such good care of him. He was all I wanted for Christmas. ~Stephanie

Heidi M

I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! The first day you could just tell this one was going to work out well. She is probably the fastest adapting little one I've ever had. Stitch, the grey tabby was named for the alien from the disney movie Lilo and Stitch because he was programmed for destruction. Sooo, I renamed Heidi to Lilo (although I really liked her name, it fit her well, so it was a hard decision). Stitch had become too much for my tripod kitty who is older and has issues with only three legs and all, and he was beginning to bully her. Lilo has been WONDERFUL!! Stitch was freaked at first. He followed her around the first day growling under his breath. But Lilo gave him back just as good as he gave her when he finally stopped being freaked and thought he was supposed to terrorize her. It didn't bother her a bit. She'd run from him, but just come back and smack him right back. I separated them at night in case she needed intervention, but by night four, she'd decided she fit in. She has some good places to get away from him when she wants to. But, she never does for more than a minute, she just comes right back at him. I've lost my baby! When Stitch was little, I'd let him sleep between my arms while I was working at the computer. That worked fine when he was little bitty, but he'd grown into a full size cat so this was a problem. He thought he was supposed to tuck himself in at night right in the middle of me working. No more. Stitch is more than pleased to have someone to play with now. They gallop around the house. Lilo is braving walking up to the dog to smell him, and I see her being willing to try to play with him before too long. She is afraid of NOTHING. Whoever has fostered her did such a good job because she is so calm with me, the human, but so energetic with her new pal. She likes a little lovin, but always wants to go right back to playing or even sleeping, or just hanging out with her pal. She has done wonders for him. He was getting so bored being an indoor cat, but now has someone to play with. This was just the best match of all my menagerie! They all like the dog, but none of the cats had anything in common that they bonded. Trinity and Stitch did some, but he was too much for her. Trinity is enjoying just fluffing around unmolested now and watching the wild ones play. It's kind of amusing because even the dog will watch them play. Thank you to you all for being her rescue mommies! I think she is truly happy in her new home! ~Victoria, Gabriel (dog), Trinity (tripod), Sh'ma (outdoor feral), Stitch (brother), & Lilo (baby)

Holly

Here's what Holly's new mom had to say right after bringing her home: Wow - they were great together... sniffed and walked around for about 5 minutes, then played HARD until Holly fell asleep in the corner on the porch, which she LOVES. Curry wants her to keep playing, but Holly is tuckered out. No aggression either side. I'm very happy. Thank you again for this darling kitty - we love her so much! ~Cathy

Harold

I thought I'd update you on Harold. He spent a day and a half under our couch, and I stayed up almost all night that first night, taking to him and reassuring him. He would venture out very briefly, and then dart under the couch again. The next day, my wife and I were both talking to him, telling him how much we loved him, and that we will always take care of him. Suddenly, it was like a light switch flipped on in his head, and he came completely out from under the couch, and began rubbing up against us. He slept with us that night in our bed, and many nights after that. He knows now that we belong to him as much as he belongs to us. I want to thank you so much for rescuing him, and all the other kitties. Who knows what would have happened to him if you hadn't been there. We will be forever grateful for what you do. ~Steve & Ruth

Hannah N

A kitten from another group and Hannah were adopted at the same time. It took about 2 weeks for the two kittens to become buddies. Luckily Hannah (our kitten) was very easy going and was very patient waiting for the other kitten to accept her. Now they are doing great. The kitties are very happy, playful, cuddly, and growing fast! ~ Briana :)
