When I lost my three cats over the course of 11 months, I wasn’t sure when I would be ready to have more cats in my life. Two of my cats had been with me for 19 years and the other for only three years because he had FelV. It was difficult to believe that I could replace these loving pets with new ones. Then Marie of Kitty Connection asked me if I would help to socialize a timid kitten so that it would be ready for adoption. I reluctantly agreed, but Marie can be very persuasive, so I took in Bonkers (now Toby). Well, the rest is history β I fell in love immediately with this timid little boy and couldn’t let him go! As he came out of his shell, I discovered a rambunctious, hilarious, crazy cat who has captivated the hearts of everyone who has met him!
But he needed a playmate. I was immediately drawn to the photo of Kyle (now Riley) because he reminded me of Dewey, the cat I lost to FelV, with his tabby markings and white stomach. I asked Kitty Connection about him and was told that someone had already expressed an interest in this handsome boy. Can you believe that person rejected him because he was too shy! Little do they know they missed out on the sweetest little boy. He is coming along nicely and is so loving. And he is funny because he never circles and then lies down like most cats…he finds his spot and then he lets his body slump down! It is too funny! And as you can see from my photo, he and Toby have bonded quite nicely! Thank you, Marie, for bringing Toby and Riley into my life. They have done so much to heal my broken heart.
