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

Caroline

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

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

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

Timtam

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

Diesel

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

Eclaire

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

Henry

Hi Marie, my husband told me that you called to see how Henry is doing. It’s been a year today that we got to take him home. We decided that we’d use this date as his birthday. He’s 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, Tostito’s 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

Marley

We adopted Marley in June 2010. She was a 13 week old kitten with long hair and double paws. We had called Kitty Connection asking for a kitten with double paws and we were delighted when they called us back! We brought her home and by the end of the first day she had explored our house and found a cozy spot to curl up…on my 5 year old daughter’s

Cass

Hi Marie, I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to send you a quick update on Nigel. He is doing incredibly well and is such a joy to have. I changed his name to Cass, and he spends his days watching birds out the window, snuggling in an easy chair while wrapped up in a Red Sox fleece and keeping me company while I study for the bar

Sir Winston

Hello! We wanted to let you know how happy we are to have Sir Winston as part of our family. He has quickly become comfortable in his new home and we were so happy to find that he was litter trained and uses the scratch pad rather than our new sofa! Sir Winston’s personality is hilariously diverse. He is a snuggle-bug, always keeping a gigantic paw on us when he

Hi Stacey, I just wanted to let you know all is well here. The three babies are healthy and happy; Dot is alternating between playing with them like she’s a kitten and washing them like she’s their mother. Thank you again for all your help and for the wonderful work that all of you at Kitty Connection do! Happy Thanksgiving! Jean & Julie

Lola

Dear Kitty Connection, my boyfriend and I adopted a cat (Pevin, who we named Lola) in the beginning of the year. We have gotten to spend eight precious months with her so far, and we couldn’t be more smitten. I am attaching some pictures of Lola that I meant to send along a long time ago. Thank you so much for your good work. I hope that all families get

Zola

Dear KC Staff, I just wanted to send you a photo and update on Gorgonzola, known as “Zola.” She started life at Kitty Connection as “Magpie” but seems quite content to be named after a food since she is such a “chow hound!” She is into everything and it is a part-time job keeping her away from nightly people-supper. She and her housemate cat, Rigatoni, get along well and have

Hi All, just to let you know Petey is doing great, loves his buddy Pauly, our two females and our dog .

Not wanting to have an odd number of kitties we came across Pauly who was a couple of months younger than Petey. Worked

Little Girl

Hi Marie and Stacy, here are pictures of Szchezuan, whom I’ve renamed ‘Little Girl.’ She’s my pretty, sweet Little Girl! She loves to purr and cuddle, and her favorite spots are on the couch or on the chenille blanket on the bed. Also, when I come home at night, she rushes to the door to meet me. It’s a great way to come home! Thanks for making this adoption happen.

Ryan

Hi Lisa – I finally got around to uploading pictures from my camera and thought I’d send along an update on Ryan. He’s WONDERFUL. As you can tell from the pics he’s doing fine. Dec 19, my husband’s aunt passed away (95yrs old). She’d adopted Lester (orange cat) 2 years previously and the agreement was if anything happened to her we’d take Lester. Well, he’s 26 lbs and came to

Marie, York is doing great and has been a blast to have around. It is amazing how curious he is about everything, and despite my trying to get him to play with toy mice and balls, he prefers a crumpled up piece of paper to bat around. Thanks again for your help with adopting him. Matt

Penny

Penny has brightened my life. She is my best friend and we are both the happiest when we do things together. She is an awesome friend, loving, gentle, playful and amazingly funny. She has brought joy and laughter into my home and is hoping one day that Tommy and Humphrey the cats will love her as much as I do. Marie

Emma

Hi Kelly, well I finally got a chance to take pictures of Emma. She’s doing great. She is really a sweetheart, and she’s started to make friends with the other kitties. In a couple of the pictures she’s hanging out with her brother Max. Take care, Deirdre

Puc

Hi Stacie, I just thought you would like to see a picture of my make-up consultant. He thinks the sink is his private throne when I am doing hair and make-up. He is very settled and very happy. He plays with Nittany all the time and has taken over the house. Autumn

Oreo

This is an updated picture of Oreo, the kitten my friend adopted a few weeks ago. This is her picture from her visit to the vet in her carrier. She is happy and doing well. Her Mom calls her a “Diva” and is very spoiled. I thought a nice “Happy Ending, New Beginning” update for the website. 🙂

Hello, I just wanted to pass along a little update and some pictures! Mushroom is doing well, he’s incredibly fast! All yesterday and the night we got him he kept dashing out the bedroom door, which put him at meeting our other cat face-to-face a lot sooner than I’d planned. While Momo showed some resistance at first that kept me nervous, he very quickly softened and has now fallen for

They both sleep together on the bed at night with

Gwen

We adopted Gwen from Kitty Connection three years ago. She is definitely a cat that doesn’t ‘show well’ for potential adoptive parents. She was not particularly friendly and her past abuse made her very distrusting of people. Sadly, Gwen still shows physical signs of her past abuse – her tail still has a large bump and is slightly crooked from where it was broken. It’s taken time, but Gwen now

Hi Marie, I just wanted to send you a quick update on the beautiful muted calico kitten you helped me adopt about a month ago. I renamed her Stella (from Tyra) because she has a little too much cat-titude and needed a spunkier name. Now I know that I have always been an animal lover, but even I couldn’t imagine how much I would fall in love with this kitty.
