Because life is better with a cat on your lap!
Hello Joan, here’s a recent photo of Safari (on tile) with my older cat Oreo. A year ago when I adopted Safari, they were hissing at each other under the bathroom door, but now are getting along well. Safari has become much less fearful and will brush up against my legs and sing for chow. Cheers, Lia
Hi Marie, once we got Carlo back, we started calling him “Cal” and I’m happy to say that things are going great. Once we got him home he walked around and checked out his new space. Since then, it’s like he’s been here for years. Our only issue thus far is that we have to be careful when opening the outside doors because he is very curious about what’s going
Hi Marie, Judie is doing great. We renamed her Daisy. She is getting along great with the whole family. We love her so much already. Jen and Dave
Hi Marie! Thanks for your email! Maui, now Chairman Meow is doing great! As soon as we got him home, he was out of the carrier exploring his new space. He was a little shy at first, but every day he becomes more and more comfortable and outgoing with us. For the first few days he hung out a lot in the bathroom, but now he likes to roam all
Jack was an affectionate though somewhat skittish little guy when he first came to us, still malnourished at 9 lbs and had ear inflammation and a bit of conjunctivitis, but over the past couple months he has come out of his shell a lot and made himself king of the castle. He meows up a storm for affection, purrs like a motorboat when he gets his belly rubs, follows my
Hi Marie, here is a picture of Boots and Enrique, hanging out on their brand new kitty furniture. They are coming along really well! Joanne
Hello there! I just wanted to send over some pictures of Coogan (Formerly known as Dusty) who we adopted back in early June. My aunt Cheryl Smith recently ran into someone from Kitty Connection and said you’d love to see some of the photos so I’ve attached a few. Feel free to share them on your website or facebook in hopes that others can see how great an adopted kitten
Hi! I just wanted to drop a line and let you know that Tornado is doing great here š We have brought Willow in as well, and while there was a week or so of light hisses, short chases, and a lot of hiding, they are both really warming up to each other. She is starting to come out of her shell more; when she is settled, she will let
Hi Stacey, both kittens are doing extremely well and they are inseparable. I have attached a picture for you. Robert
Dexter (formally known as Dancer) is the sweetest little boy ever. He has brought so much joy to my life and to my 1-year-old tortie River’s life. Before Dexter joined our family, River was filled with excess energy and was a bit high strung. There was a bit of hissing from River for the first 24 hours of Dexter being with us, and then she fell as much in love
Hi Marie, I wanted to thank you again for all your help yesterday and making sure we were all set to take Champ home. I just want to let you know that it took Champ no time at all to get adjusted. We did use a safe room like you said and let him get comfortable. He came out of the carrier as soon as I opened it and we
My name is Mary and my boyfriend and I adopted Zig Zag (now Bobbie Orr) through the Kitty Connection. I know you had wanted us to write a success story about her as she was a feral and met her in November hissing behind a toilet š she now plays out in the open, follows us around and occasionally sleeps on the bed with us. About a month ago we
He is doing great…came into the condo and had no desire to be gradually introduced to the other animals. He wanted out of the bathroom and since he’s been out, he’s been on every piece of furniture, knocking things off the mantles. Here is a picture of his first night. Rene and I will get some more and give you a full report this weekend. Marie
Hi Kitty Connection, Just wanted to share this cute pic of our two kitties, both of whom we adopted from you. Madeleine is on the left, and she is now about 2 1/2 years old. Trevor is on the right, and he is about a year now. They’re both doing great – healthy, sweet, and picture perfect. š We’re so happy to have them. Thanks! Emily
Hi Marie, I wanted to share my success story with Conroy. As you remember he had come from a difficult situation and was very shy! He had a very traumatic ride home with me and for almost a week wouldn’t eat or come near me – forget about taking his medicine! We started to call him Alien, because all we ever saw of him was a grey head and eyes
Hi Marie, I have been meaning to write to let you know that Payton has been doing unbelievable well. I’m so glad that you encouraged me to stick with him and to give him another chance. You should see how much he has grown! He is still a love and is extremely outgoing and playful. I can’t imagine our house without him now. If I can be of any help
Hi, my name is Stephany and I adopted a kitten from Kitty Connection almost 3 years ago. He is such a handsome boy and has brought so much joy into my life. I have attached a few pictures of him. His name is Sylvester. Stephany
Hi! Citrus Bubbles and Autumn Leaf, now Barrett and Yarra, are doing great and have made such progress in such a short time! They have their own bedroom and seem to like it. The first day or so the brother mostly hid but has been out more and more and they both love to be petted and brushed and play with their toys. Yarra is a little more adventurous and
Marie/Elizabeth, just wanted to let you know that Bunny is coming along great! She has come out of hiding and is enjoying watching John cook in the kitchen and outwitting Buttons in Hide and Seek. Thank you sooooo much for letting us adopt her. She will have a safe, warm, playful home for the rest of her life… !!!!! Thanks again, Mark & John
Hi Elizabeth – Thanks again for the wonderful kitten! He is getting along amazingly well with our other two kitties and he couldn’t be happier in his new home. I am shocked at how quickly they all became friends, he’s even sharing food with them! (Well, he should be eating his kitten food but he always wants what the big kids have) š They all love to play together and
Hi Sam! Thanks so much for checking in on Nemo, he really is wonderful. You were right, he is adjusting very, very quickly! The first day he hid underneath a desk in our dining room, but came out at night when we went to bed, since then he’s been improving every day. He is a quick learner and very brave, I tell him all the time he must have the
Hi, Feb 16th made two years that I had adopted Ricky (but, you had him as Jake and I changed it) so now he is 11 years old and has been through a lot but, he is doing good…he is still very sweet and very vocal…and, yes indeed I sure do love him….Thanks… Millie
She’s doing great, so BIG so fast. Loves her new house and gets along well with Reese. We named her Levi because her favorite place to sleep is in my boyfriends jeans, it was either that or “dirty laundry” LOL Deb
Hi Kerri, I’ve attached some recent pictures of Mogli/Percy. He’s been socializing very well with the family and his older sister (Sarah the calico). He’s growing very fast! Hope all is well with you, Katy
Karen, thanks for your email. I actually renamed him “Hermes” and he is doing great – he is the sweetest cat I’ve ever had and I love him to death. A couple pictures are attached. Hope all is well, Linsay
Hi Marie and Jackie, I just wanted you to see the first picture I’ve taken of Briarlight. She is settling in very well (the fastest I’ve ever seen a cat deal with such a transition). In the photo she is watching her new playmate play with their new toy I just bought them (a scratching post) and is sporting her new florescent green color (although I don’t think you can
Hi Malinda, it’s me Sponge Bob!! I’ve been in my forever home a little over 2 weeks now and WOW you did a great job picking my forever mommy… boy does she spoil me! Before I was rescued by Kitty Connection and went home with you I was living in that shelter all alone. I was so lonely and just wanted a warm lap to cuddle on. Well, I am
7/18/11 Update: Havoc (Littleman) is doing well. I’ve attached a picture of him from about a month ago, he continues to grow and is completely adorable. He continues to learn and try climbing to new heights all the time. He loves playing with his sister, Sandy, who tends to initiate tiffs with him and then he continues when she runs away, he chases her, it’s the cutest thing, he’s such
Hi Everyone at Kitty Connection! My name is Freddy and I was adopted by my Mama 5 years ago from Kitty Connection. As you can see, I am a very big boy (17 lbs.) but my vet says I am not fat! I’m just a huge kitty. For the past 5 years I have lived a happy life with Mama and my 3 kitty brothers. We all get along very
We found your shelter about a year-and-a-half ago after the loss of one of our beloved Russian Blue kitties. Pumpkin, 11 weeks at the time, was wandering around in between all of the people searching for food (he still loves to eat). He has been a wonderful addition to our family. After the recent lost of our second Russian Blue, we visited the shelter again and found Kiki, eight weeks
Tania…It was great to see you too! What a wonderful surprise. Rabbi Benjamin White Boots Regan (aka Benny the Boots) really has settled in to his forever home. I can tell he wants to rule the roost, but is also humble enough to let Boudica Irish Warrior Princess (aka The Boo) and of course, Amy, our Boston Terrier, show him the ropes and give them some space. He’s really taken
Hi Marie, I wanted to let you know that Sparky (now Autumn–named by my teenage daughters) is doing well. She did not like being in a safe room as you predicted–so she is wandering the house. I have kept her pirate ship, the carrying case, food and a litter box in the room though just in case. She has found where we keep the food and the litter box. She
Hi Marie, sorry to be getting back to you so late. He is absolutely great!! We all love him so much, the two cats get along amazingly- like brothers, he’s gained 3-3.5 lbs, and is very healthy according to my vet. He’s very curious, which gets him into trouble but he’s so cute you can’t be mad at him. He’s a very easy cat and I’m so happy about that.
Dear Kitty Connection, here are some photos I took of Charlie (Banana Split) who I adopted on Feb. 12th. He’s such a sweet little guy and is having lots of fun with his “brothers.” He’s still a little shy around me but I’m giving him his space until he’s ready to come to me on his own. He’s been to the vet for his last distemper shot and she gave
It’s been 3 weeks since Isabelle’s first day in her Forever Home! Everything is going great! It took her about a week to settle in with Beau, but they are becoming good buddies pretty quick! They get a 2 mile walk every day and we’ve taken her a couple of times out to the field where they run and run and run! The snow is getting somewhat soft, so we’re
Hi Marie and Karen, I just wanted to write to tell you how madly in love we all are with Black Jack ā now known as Ollie Black Jack. He is an absolute love and the most affectionate and precious kitten. He loves to explore, play and cuddle. He adjusted perfectly to our home and even Isabel, our 2 year old cat is curious about him and starting to play
Dear all, last year November we adopted handsome Louis (back then known as Piccato) and would like to give you a little update on him. Louis is a very gentle and docile cat who loves to keep us company: he sleeps on my laptop bag while I am working at my desk; he cuddles up next to me on the sofa when I am watching TV; he lies beside the
Everything is going very well. We just came from the Vet this morning for the Distemper Booster that he needed. He has gained about 1 pound in a month since we’ve had him. Oh…and we changed his name. Our other cat is Gizmo so we named him Gadget. Seems to go together. He is getting along wonderfully with Gizmo. They wrestle and play together all the time. They seem to
Good Morning Kitty Connection, I wanted to tell you how Professor was doing. He has two other animals he shares our home with, one Golden Retriever and one Sheltie. It took him a little time to settle in but he fits right in with our clan. He loves fresh water from the tap. It is the only bad habit getting up on the counter where the faucet lives. But I
Hi Marie, Tag is now named Larry and he is doing awesome! We are so happy to have him part of our family. He sleeps with us every night and gets along well with our other cat. He is super playful and friendly. Could not ask for a better kitty. Here are a few pictures, he has definitely made himself at home. =) Thank you! Devany and Dan
Hey Elizabeth and Marie! I hope you’re doing well. I thought you’d like to know that Cody (formerly Jacob) is doing well in his new home and we love having him. He’s a total joy. His brothers are loving the playful energy and he’s getting lots of love. I’ve attached some pictures of Cody with his new brothers. Enjoy! š He’s been to the vet and all is well. He
Hi Sam, Marylin is doing fine. She has 1400 sq. feet so she has a lot of room to roam. Right now she will let me pat her but she hasn’t let me hold her yet however, earlier this morning she keeps look at me and she started to talk back to me so I don’t think it will be to much longer. I have been home all day sense
My sweet Caroline came to me as Superwoman from Kitty Connection. She always looked sweet but was very scared. She immediately took to her new brothers and sister (Gizmo, Cloey and Daphne) and they accepted her right away! But as far as she was concerned she didn’t want to be touched or held by us humans! Each day I would just sit and talk to her and try to pet
Gumdrop was adopted over 3 years ago. She was very sick and skinny after her ordeal and we wanted to give her a chance to have a home and recover getting lots of love. She is the apple of our eyes and we couldn’t think of life without her. She is a full bodied lady now who loves to be petted, loved and cuddled. She is a Diva enjoying all
Hello again, I hope you are both doing well. Better late than never!. Here are some pics of our beloved Willow (aka Parcheesi)! She has truly become one of the family. Her personality is still developing and every day she discovers something new! Here favorite things to do are eat and sleep! Her favorite places to sleep are my daughter Grace’s doll bed, the kitty bed we bought her, all
Hi Marie, I just want to share this photo of Bingo (now called Timtam) with our other cat, Kermit. They are getting along really well so far – a little bit of wrestling and chasing, but nothing aggressive. They like to sit together all the time and often sleep together at our feet at night. I even found him grooming Kermit the other day. He’s such a love! Just wanted
I am the adoptive mom of a dog, previously on your site, who was formerly known as “Bruno” (his name is “Diesel” now). He is so smart, and took to obedience training very quickly and easily. He is a great running partner, very social, and now very well behaved. In fact, I plan to register him with the Canine Good Citizen’s association so that we can do some in-patient therapy
A few months ago my roommate and I adopted Eclaire, a very skittish and scared little kitty. After a weeks of hiding and cuddling with the fleece blanket we gave her under a bed, kitty started to come out of her shell…she is incredibly curious, fun, and sweet. She makes us laugh every day. Some snapshots of her progress are attached. Thank you for allowing us to have this joy
Hi Marie, my husband told me that you called to see how Henry is doing. Itās been a year today that we got to take him home. We decided that weād use this date as his birthday. Heās such a great dog, we love him so much. He became a big part of this family fast. We had an invisible fence installed and that was well worth the cost. We
Dear Dawn, Tostitoās name is now Greta. She’s doing great…gets along well with our dog, very cuddly, happy to be carried around (gently) by our daughters and basically always where the people are. (Right now sleeping in my lap as I work.) Best, Elizabeth
