All is well with Celie (formerly Sassy). She’s growing quickly. We live in Boston. She’s a pretty little girl! Thanks! Julie

Just wanted to thank you for handling the adoption of our new kitten. We picked him up last weekend from Kelly in Lexington and he has been getting settled in his new home this week. “Louie” is a lovely, active little boy with beautiful orange stripes and we look forward to many years getting to know each other. I’ve attached a photo here of Louie in his new home. Thanks

When I adopted Mr. Teddy, I have to admit, at first, I thought I had made a big mistake. The poor guy came complete with an as yet undiagnosed parasite and was terrified of humans. Well, we got the parasite under control with medication and slowly but surely tried working on the trust issues. I’ll jump right to the finish… after only 5 months my Teddy is the most loving,

Hi, Kitty Connection, we adopted our little girl Ginger from Kitty connection three months ago. She was two months at the time. She’s the most loving and friendly cat. We all love her and are glad she is here to stay. Not to brag but Ginger is the best cat ever. Thank you Sharon for being such a great mom to her. Thanks, Bridgette and Family

Hi Alex, Roger nee Joseph is doing just fine. He was cautious and friendly to the two cats already here, and now is playing with one of them. The other is a skittish feral female who doesn’t have any social skills. Roger tried to befriend her but finally gave up and now just chases her whenever she emerges from hiding (usually under the living room couch). Roger is very playful

Hello, Edward is doing very well. He and Mr. Friendly have become best buds, they sleep together and keep me up all night running wild through the house. When we first brought him home he disliked being picked up off the floor, now he is adjusting and will be held. Friendly cleans Edward since he doesn’t do a good job on his own, he’s more interested in climbing under things

Hi Marie, just wanted to give you an update about Oliver (nee Marco Polo). Everything has been great and he is just a lovely cat!

Thanks for everything! Best, Adriane

Hello Kelly, you asked for a description of our Sammy. First and foremost, he is the most lovable sweetest baby!

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.

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.

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).

In February, my boyfriend and I adopted Fred from Kitty Connection. He is a great cat and we love him! Fred is doing great!

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.

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

Mickey is one of our best success stories.
