Because life is better with a cat on your lap!
Hello All, just wanted to give you all an update on how Mr. Whiskers is progressing. He has become a great companion, and great addition to our family. He is very loving, and loves to sleep in the bed with us! He also adjusted very well to a recent move we had made. His next test will be seeing how he adapts to having a new baby in the house
Hello Dawn, Khloe (formerly Kringle) is doing awesome and she is so much fun and affectionate. We can’t believe how fast she adjusted. She gets a lot of exercise playing and she does sleep a lot. She had a pretty good check-up at the vet. She weighed in at 5.2 pounds. The vet said that she had some gingivitis so we now brush her teeth every day. It’s not that
Handsome was a stray being fed by a very kind woman named Kerry who resides off Riverside Ave. near the Meadow Glen Mall. Handsome showed up on Kerry’s doorstep a few months ago crying for both food and attention. Kerry could not take Handsome into her home as she had 2 cats of her own. Kerry felt so bad for him that she contacted Kitty Connection for help. Kitty Connection
I wanted to give you an update on Apple Pie & Apple Blossom (now Della & Coco.) They’re doing great – after spending the first night under my bed, they’ve acclimated to the house well. They LOVE to sit in the window and watch what goes on outside and chase after cat-nip mice. They’re both very sweet and I’m very glad that they weren’t separated. Thanks! Jenn
Crispen and Capen, the special kittens that Kitty Connection sponsored, have been adopted! They have hyper dysplasia which causes them not be able to use their back legs. They can still get around, but not as regular cats do. Crispen and Capen now have a wonderful family and look forward to spending the rest of their lives together in a safe, loving home. Look how content the brothers look with
BP (Berry Punch; Betty Poop; Betty Paige) was dumped at a gas station and thankfully rescued by Kitty Connection. Soon after, she came home with us from her wonderful foster mom Lois’ house on February 15, 2010 and she is settling in purrfectly here. BP is a sweet little girl who loves to lounge around, spending hours on the top of her cat tower or on our laps. BP and
Baby was born in November 1999 and is a very sweet, loving neutered male with a microchip. His mom had to move and could not bring him along but wanted to find him a loving home. Thankfully, Baby was adopted by a wonderful couple with three other cats at the adoption weekend at PetSmart. Photos of the new happy family to come soon!
Hi Marie, you see what a very happy and mellow cat Jonesy is in his new home. Within a couple of days I was able to pat him on the head, within a week he was sleeping on my bed at night and letting me brush him and pat him nose to tail, and now I am able to pick him up (although I think he senses that he’s pretty
Happy New Year! I thought I’d give you an update on the wonderful progress Gracie (formerly Grayie) has made after being reunited with her brother, Bailey (formerly Bamboo). Gracie came on strong at first and frightened my older Himalayan, Bella, but they have accepted each other and actually play together at times! Gracie and Bailey are very happy to be together again, they sit side by side and groom each
Here are some photos of Roxanne bein’ a happy cat. We love her. A “success story” as you say. Please forward these pix to Lizabeth, she’ll appreciate them. Thanks for taking such good care of her her first year. Take care, Mara
In February, my boyfriend and I adopted Fred from Kitty Connection. He is a great cat and we love him! Fred is doing great! I don’t know if you remember, but when we came to pick him up, he climbed right into the crate that we brought. In the car ride home, he was quiet and relaxed. When we opened to the door to his crate, in our apartment, he
Hi! I adopted a cat from you named Billie Jean a few weeks ago. She’s successfully adjusted after a short period of time under my bed and now with this missive I include her pictures. I renamed her “Sasha”, so that’s her new name now. Thank you so much for the opportunity of having adopted her and to keep her until she got a loving forever home. Best, Diego
Hi Stacey, just wanted to give you an update on Spice (who has been rechristened Alice). The safe room didn’t last long at all, and now she has the run of the whole apartment. She sleeps with us on the bed and follows me around during the day. Hiding under the pillows on the guest bed (in my office) and jumping out at me is her new favorite game. Here’s
The kittens are doing really, really well! Their poop is solid, they have a raging appetite and are starting to get used to being petted. It was absolutely the right decision to adopt two kittens – they’ve been great comfort and company for each other. Jamaica (the grey tabby girl) is still a bit scrawny and shy, but she shows a really good appetite which is reassuring. We decided to
Having arrived at her forever home on January 5, little Pepper (formerly Trixie) is thriving. She is much loved by the entire family. She loves to play chase, tumble, and climb her scratching post. After play time comes nap time. Although Pepper is quite content to curl up and sleep alone, she still seems to prefer cuddling with family members. Thank you, Sharon!!
Hi, Marie, I wanted to thank you again for being so understanding and cooperative while I went through the process of adopting Desdemona (formerly named Zena). She is now healthy and active and has completely settled in to her home here with Pandora (my other kitty). Having never been socialized I was concerned that Pandora wouldn’t adjust to another cat in the house, but they get along just fine and
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
Thank you so much for bringing Percival (Now Mr. Kitty) to me! He went through Kitty Connection as a youngster, and when his first family broke up he turned up in a shelter in Northern Mass. The people there saw he was from Kitty Connection and called right away to see if they wanted to take him back in. When I went to pick him up from the shelter to
I just wanted to update you and thank you for providing us the most beautiful and perfect kitten for our family. Codie walked into the house for the first time, explored everything and has just been a joy!!! Thanks again, Christine, Doug, Jeremy, Julia & Codie
Hi, Stacey, just wanted to update you on Logan (formerly Savvy). She is doing great and is very comfortable in her new home. Logan loves to run all over the apartment and chase after her toys. We play football with one of her toys and she even plays fetch sometimes! She is very vocal and meows when it’s bedtime so that she can cuddle by my feet or under the
We adopted Cookie (formerly Tufts) on December 3, 2009. I have had a lot of cats in my life, but she is the most adorable, loving, gentle and funny kitty I have ever owned. She has brought so much happiness into our household. She came well trained in the litter box so her transition to our home was very easy. She is wonderful with everyone in our home and our
Thanks to Kitty Connection for the addition to our family ~ Bella, formally know as “Twinkle Toes”. We got Bella when she was about 7-8 weeks old and she is a great cat! Wish we could’ve taken a sibling too but we had just gotten another kitten a month before and they are a perfect match. Lisa
Hi Marie, I hope you’re doing well. I’m not sure if you remember me, my boyfriend and I adopted Angelica last August from Kitty Connection (I attached a pic of her). She’s doing great and is healthy and happy! Julia
I just wanted to say hi and send some updated pictures of Angelica. Paul and I named her Bella. I can’t believe we’ve had her for 2 weeks now. She is fabulous and we love her to pieces! Thank you! Julie
Hi, Stacey, I’m finally emailing you some pictures of Orbie. She’s doing great. She is so affectionate now. All it took was a lot of love and patience. I don’t know if you remember but I adopted her in January to be a friend for my cat Pierre. I adopted Pierre also from Kitty Connection three years ago. He is also very lovable. Orbie gets along great with Pierre and
Mickey is one of our best success stories. Can you believe this boy was so traumatized by being surrendered that he became extremely frightened and hostile and would cower at the back of his cage and snap at anyone who came near him? A Kitty Connection volunteer, however, decided that maybe if she took some time with Mickey and just sat near his cage talking quietly about anything that came
Alex, Astoria/Bb (her new name) is doing great. It took her a few days to adjust but she is very active and exploratory now. She eats a little too much and we are a little worried about her becoming overweight, but we are working on teaching her to only eat at the appropriate times as much as we can : ) Best & THANKS for helping us find a new
About 2 months ago, I responded to a plea to save one of the most misunderstood breeds in the world. She is a beautiful American Staffie who only had days to live unless she found a home. Our family had been fostering dogs for months and had one of our own already but have been searching for years for another addition to our family, but knew it had to be
Here’s Pepper just home from her latest check-up. She is the first cat we’ve ever had who made not a peep as I put her into the carrier to go to the vet this morning (just needed her rabies shot). The vet says she’s in fabulous shape and can’t get over how silky her coat is. She has gotten bigger, but at six months Pepper’s still as playful as ever.
Hello, I wanted to give an update on a kitten we adopted from you back in November, 2008. She is an orange tabby female, and we named her Sheba. The day we adopted her, she was with a litter of orange tabby kittens. We love her so much, she is so sweet and she gets along great with our other cat (Kofte), a male tuxedo cat who is now 3
Hi Alex: Tugger and Mrs. Beaumon (now Peanut) are doing really well. Tugger’s found several sunny places around the house that he has claimed as his own. He lazes around the house most of the day, and spends the nights either asleep on our bed, or tearing around downstairs playing with the rugs (which we routinely find in a big heap in the morning.) He’s very social – he talks
Hey there! Mr. Valentine and Larry are doing great in their new home! They act like they own the place already. It’s wonderful. Larry plays fetch like a little puppy when I throw his mouse toy. He brings it right back and waits for me to toss it again. And he cuddles with me right under the blankets when I go to sleep! Mr. Valentine is very vocal. He has
Thanks for checking in. Spotty has been given a new name – Cleo – and she is doing well. Follows me around the house, greets me when I come home from work every night and likes sitting next to me on the couch with her head in my lap. I think she’s getting used to her new surroundings and my routine. Loves sitting in the window and since I have
Hi Jenn, don’t know if you remember me, but my son Michael and I were in on December 19th and took Dawsyn home with us. I’ve been meaning to write and let you know how much we absolutely love her. She is such a wonderful addition to the family. It is almost impossible to believe that she has only been with us for 6 weeks, it feels more like 6
Dear Karen, we adore our new kitty! He has settled right in as you can see in the attached photo. Thanks, Carol
Lisa, thanks so much for checking in. Dexter has been a great addition to the family. It has been fun getting to know his quirky personality. As you can see from the attached photo (Dexter is on the right), he’s getting along well with his new brother, Bam Bam. They play actively together, follow each other, and “talk” all the time. I’m pleased to report that he has lost some
Dear Kitty Connection, I wanted to give you an update on Penny (Aka Pansy). She is doing very well, and has filled out since you last saw her. I fall in love with her a little more each day, and she makes me laugh daily. She is quite a spoiled cat, the pictures are on her condo where she watches the birds on the bird feeder. Penny is getting along
Hi guys!! Just want to send you a picture of our beautiful family member. We adopted Kira from you back in March of this year. She was approx. 5 mos old then. My how she’s grown!!! We love her dearly, and she loves her new home. Plenty of land to roam around on, and she loves her hour long trek through the woods every day with “dad”. Thanks so much
I have attached 3 photos of T.S. Eliot for you all to view. He has adopted/adapted quite well. I do believe we have the correct animal. He sits up like a dog, he follows us around like a dog, he even runs to the kitchen any time there is activity there especially when we open the refrigerator. Eliot is doing a good job of keeping each of us company when
I bet you’ve been dying to hear how Marbles is doing š He has been a lot of fun, and I think he is adjusting really well. For the first few days he was definitely very shy, but he has been coming out more and more, and getting comfortable with the place. Marbles and Soeze took a few days to figure out what was going on, but they’re pals now.
We adopted Sydney (originally named ‘Boog’) during a snowstorm in December of 2007. It took my fianc_ Jess about eight hours to make the round trip through the snow and traffic between our home in Norwood to/from your place in Medford. Jess did not arrive at the Kitty Connection until well into the evening; fortunately Marie was kind enough to stay late that night so that we could complete the
Attached is a picture of Edgar and Buddy. They love sleeping on the couch!!! We are having lots of fun with Edgar, he is so nutty and makes us laugh a lot. We are very grateful to have him in our lives. If I didn’t have another cat I would have taken Eva also, I hope she is in a happy home. Lori
To all of you considering adoption…meet Gracie and her baby “Sophie”. I set out for “a kitten,” and then decided on two. When I went to meet this “tortie” and her five kittens, the nurse in me said “Why am I taking two babies, when this mom will be left behind and all alone.” SO I took mom and ONE baby. They are the LOVES of my life. SO I
I lost my beloved 19-year old cat Lucky in February, 2008. I was heartbroken and called Kitty Connection to see if I could save a cat and give it a wonderful home! I met Oreo (formerly Spot) and instantly fell in love. He settled right into my home with my dog Wendell and my other 3 cats, Gizmo, Tigger and Midnight. In March, 2008, I adopted FiFi so Oreo could
We adopted Chicago from you back in July, and we just wanted to let you know that he is doing great! He still loves to have his belly rubbed. We absolutely love him, Thank you! Keri & Jay
We adopted our first little black cat Grace (formerly Eunice) on Halloween! She starting running and playing the moment she moved in, and hasn’t stopped! Because she had so much energy, we adopted another kitten to keep her company. Winnie (formerly Wendy) joined our family in mid-December. Winnie is very shy with people, but LOVES her new sister. However, it wasn’t love at first sight. Grace (all 3 pounds of
This success story is long overdue. I brought home Thomas O’Malley and Betty in June. They were strangers at Kitty Connection but quickly became good friends. Thomas O’Malley is a sweet, gentle, hungry older guy (12 years or so). He was immediately comfortable in my home, slept on my bed the first night. It didn’t take long to find out why Thomas was originally named Fatty Cat. Thomas loves to
Simon and I are doing great! I am so glad I picked up the phone the night you called looking for a foster home for your newest rescue. I was still grieving the loss of Jasmine and wasn’t sure I was ready for a new permanent cat. But Simon charmed me in a matter of weeks! He is very affectionate, playful, and loves to have his belly rubbed. Plus, he
Cleo is doing just great; she even slept with us. She is as sweet a cat as you said. She’s still a little skittish, if we lean over from a standing position to try to pat her. So, we just sit down and then she comes over to us. She’s getting so much love and affection from us. She has the run of five rooms, including stairs (which I think
We adopted Annabel (you called her Sunshine) in the fall of 2006, and she has grown fat and happy with us. At first, her new brother, Dexter, was highly skeptical, but now he sleeps next to her and frequently demands that she give him a bath. (You can almost see her roll her eyes as she does this.) Her special place is my daughter’s bedroom, one of the quietest spots
