Because life is better with a cat on your lap!
Happy tails of our friends in their furever homes!
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
We’d like to thank you for Mike now know as Mikey. We adopted him last March and he has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is great with our kids and also with our dog. It was a great experience and I always let people know where to go if they are looking for a new pet. Thanks once again for Mikey. The Gibbons Family
Here is a picture of Sophie (previously Peach) with Sadie. She’s SUCH a lover!!! Thanks again for saving her!! She deserved it! Charlene
Skootchie (formerly Dicey) has been doing wonderfully. We adopted her last year (Dec. 07) at PetSmart, via Kitty Connection. Skootchie is a CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) kitty — basically she’s a “wobbly” cat, she can’t jump up on things or walk a straight line, her coordination/motor skills and vision are off kilter. When we first brought Skootchie home (and for months afterwards), she was unsure of us (we think she might
Here are my kittens, Baby and Pumpkin. They are the sweetest, most playful and affectionate cats. Thank you so much for helping me adopt them and giving them a second chance. I love them dearly! Thanks again, Alex
My fiance and I adopted Lilly, who we renamed Cali, two years ago when she was 8 weeks old. We live in a tiny apartment in Boston and are busy people so we were worried that the kitten wouldn’t have enough space, but we new she would have enough love. She was timid at first but eventually came out of her shell and is now a playful, healthy, loving kitty
As you can see, Daisy has a wonderful new home with Alexandria!
We wanted to say thank you for bringing Rocky and Cupcake into our lives. They are playful, curious, and very lovable. We adopted Rocky and Cupcake from Kitty Connection on August 20, 2007 when they were just 8 weeks old. They are 5 months old in this picture. They have brought much joy to our home. Thanks again! Michael, Jamie, Rocky and Cupcake
Boston has a new friend whose name is Stripes. They argue occasionally, but for the most part they are good friends. We just discovered that she is a protective cat. She charged and hissed at my husband for tickling my 4-year old! (She thinks she’s a dog). She is still very selective of who is allowed to pet her. She must smell you first, but once you get head butted
I just wanted to send you this picture of Tinkerbell (aka Albany). I adopted her from you when you had an adoption day at Petsmart this past summer. She is my baby. I love her so much. She is very happy in her new home and is spoiled. Anyway, I wanted to thank you very much and send you an updated picture. Hope you enjoy it. Cheryl
I adopted a cat named “Greya” from you. She is now known as “Midge” and I just wanted to let the staff know that she is a lovely and very sweet companion and is doing great!! She has quickly adjusted and seems to really like her new home. She curls up with me at night at the foot of the bed and she likes to play with her kitty toys
Dear Jillian and Marie, I hope you don’t mind my writing you together, but, as you had both inquired as to how Meeko and Angel were doing, it seemed practical. It took Meeko all of about five minutes to adjust, and, on the first full day, he had established himself as king of the house. He loves having four floors to roam and has tried out every rug, bed, and
Hi Marie, Hope u and the other cats r well. I love my new home. I have a mother and dad and their grandson is my new uncle. He loves to play with me. Don’t tell them, but I really run their house. Everything circles around me. I am eating twice a day. I love to sit on their chair when they get up. They r going to take me
Samantha, I just want to say oh my God. This cat went from hissing and growling along with being anti-social to this most wonderful full of love gentle giant. Honestly I don’t know what clicked in his head. I literally stayed awake for two days straight studying his behavior..I knew deep down that he really wanted to fit in but wasn’t sure if he could trust us along with being
Hello Kitty Connection, just wanted to let you know that adorable Biden is doing so very well in his new forever home with us. Each day he is feeling more comfortable. He is eating well, purring a lot, playing “string”, and has found some nice perches so he can be “up” where he likes to be. He likes to sit next to me on the sofa as I pet him.
Dear Kitty Connection, we adopted Andi (now Luna) from you at Petco on Feb. 12, 2012. We just wanted to send a follow-up e-mail giving Samantha an update on our family. Luna has settled in quite nicely. She is very happy to follow our cat Izzbouw (pronounced is-bo) around. She loves to play with her feather wand and catnip mice. At night, she sleeps on our bed with us and
Hi Elizabeth, it’s been a few months and Danger a.k.a Swiffer is doing great! He loves his brothers (to the point where they get a bit annoyed) and is ball of affection. I’ve attached a photo of him being his silly self. Hope the kitty connection fam is doing well! Christine
We adopted Angelica (we call her Angie) a little over a month ago. We went into Kitty Connection looking to adopt a kitten and ended up falling in love with the mama who was taking care of all of the stray kittens. She was a little timid when we first got her home and had mastitis, but now she is fully recovered and has really warmed up to us. She
I brought my friend Jane into Pet Smart a few months ago and although she was reluctant to adopt a second cat (due to still dealing with her husband’s death last winter) I was able to convince her to adopt Nemo, known as Charlie now. He is absolutely fabulous and she adores him. And he loves her. He hopped into her lap the instant he arrived. He is extremely smart
This is our very handsome Remy, a Snowshoe Siamese that we adopted 2 weeks ago. He is such a wonderful cat, with a great personality and he has completely taken over our house! He makes his demands loud and clear–my husband has given him the nickname of “Dinner Dish” and my son calls him “Lunch Box”. Thank you so much for the wonderful work you do for the animals! Meg,
Hi, I adopted Ricky from you back in February…okay, Jake, but I call him Ricky. He had ringworm back in April til about July and now he is clean of it…thank God. He is such a good cat and so sweet and loveable and very vocal with me, lol….we have conversations…lol All in all, so far, he is doing good. Take care, Millie
Thank you Kitty Connection, and especially Trish, for bringing Rudy into my life! Wendell the Westie has been my only dog for the past 7 years. I always contemplated bringing another dog into my home but was hesitant because Wendell is very attached to me and I felt that another dog would bring Wendell added stress. That fateful Friday night when I met Rudy, and learned about his unstable life
Dear Kitty Connection, we adopted “Precious” when she was 8 weeks old (we re-named her to Marshmallow – she is the grey/white one in the picture). It has been 3 months now and she has settled so well into her new home. She gets along with us as well as her older “brother – Turkey”! We also call her “squeaker lady” because we have yet hear her meow once, all
As soon as I opened the carrier, Paul, now called Maxwell, took off for a quick house tour. He returned a couple minutes later, and sprawled at my feet, purring. He was home. The household is still adjusting to him, though, as it’s been some years since our previous senior cats were interested in the living room mantle, the top of the TV cabinet, and other high level surfaces. Cinnamon
Hi, Marie, just wanted to let you know that one week in, the boys seem really happy here and we love them! This was a great picture Nat got of them sleeping earlier this week. All the best, Michaelann
Hi, we adopted Prospect at the end of August and I just wanted to let you know that he is doing great! It took a couple weeks for him to adjust to his new home, but now he loves it. He is very friendly, loves to be petted and purrs constantly. He is very well behaved and he likes to talk to us a lot. We love having him around
I just thought I’d give you an update on my adoption of the tortie cat with FIV named Lucy. When I first brought her home she was shy and withdrawn and hid in the bathroom for about a week. I considered this normal, knowing how cats can be about change, and she did seem a tad depressed, certainly because of her situation. I went away for a small vacation for
Sadie is starting to enjoy her new home. She’s still quite a nervous Nelly and runs away anytime I walk toward her, but once I sit down, she is a lover. She likes to bury her head in my armpit (lol) or lay her chin on my arm or shoulder. So I think she loves me. Charlene
Here is a picture of Gracie. She is such a great kitten. We love her so much. She became a member of the family so fast and everyone loves her so much. Just thought you would like to know how she is. Love, Kellie and Paul
Hi there! I just wanted to thank everyone and let people know how great Cheza (formally Cha Cha) is. My husband and I absolutely adore her, she is the sweetest, prettiest girl. A bit before we got her, we lost our cat, and Cheza has helped us, and cheered us up from our deep loss. Thanks again!
I adopted Brooks in June of 2007. I was fostering her and decided that she was going to become part of my family. Brooks was found under a porch and brought to a kill shelter when she was only a few weeks old. She spent almost a year there before Kitty Connection saved her. She was extremely skittish and would hide from me most of the day. After about 6
I’ve been meaning to tell a success story for sometime now, but I wanted to find a picture of how much our little Kaylee (who is sleeping in my arms) has brought to the house. It seems like everyone is happier with her arrival. She’s such an amazing part of the family and it wouldn’t have happened without her wonderful foster-mom who was willing to put in that extra effort
We adopted Sandy, a nine week old calico, from a Kitty Connection event at the Petsmart in Everett. She crawled into our arms and purred like crazy and we knew she was going to make a great addition to our family. Sandy loves her new home and her new “brother” Ollie (our somewhat skittish second kitty who Sandy has helped to come out of his shell). They are so cute
Here’s a picture of Tyler in his new home, and with his new “brother” Panchito. They play a LOT, which is great for both. We’ve renamed Tyler, his new name is Maui. Thanks! Ernst
Earlier this year, after sadly losing three of my dear cats (B.B. Kitty, Curly, and Moe) to cancer within the last few years, it was hard to imagine letting a new cat companion into my life. My only remaining cat, Larry, had lost his friend and siblings and I didn’t want him to feel lonely or sad, so I called Kitty Connection. Marie was great and suggested a few cats
We adopted 11 week-old “Doc” during the Medford TV adopt-a-thon in October, renamed her “Cruella” – though we usually call her “Rue” – and, over the course of a week, introduced her to our other cats 12 year old “Peep”, 5 year old “Molly” and 4 year old “Munkie.” As the attached photos – taken just two weeks after her arrival – show, Rue became part of the family very
Hello, we just wanted to send you an update on Peaches. She seems to love it here at the Maiocco house and has adjusted very well. She has been exploring her new home and napping in her basket. She is very lovable and enjoys playing with others. Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to adopt this lovable cat into our home. Best, The Maiocco’s
I adopted “Peachy” recently. I just wanted to let you know that she is adjusting very well here and she is truly becoming the Queen of the house! She loves to be on the bed or the couch so she can see us better. She is very playful but still a bit shy so she darts under the furniture a lot. I think it’s more a part of her play
Hi Marie, the little one is doing great! She is the boss around here. Thanks again, we’ll be in touch. Mike and Morgan
We adopted Izzy (now Sophie), just two weeks ago on Nov. 19. She is such a cutey. Getting to know her has been interesting and fun for the family, and we hope it’s been fun for Sophie as well. We discovered what her favorite toys are, her favorite foods, and observing her different moods. We’re sure there is more to come. Although she was very shy when she first arrived,
The friendly folks at Kitty Connection were very responsive in matching us with our new kitties, Ash and Croft (Ash is the light gray tiger). The foster parents took really good care of these little guys and everyone worked in concert to get us acquainted and up to speed with our furry new family members. We worked with other pet adoption agencies, but I have to say, they took weeks
Hi there, Trish, just wanted to give you an update on Soupie/Charley. We decided to change her name to Charley and she is doing very well with recognizing her new name. She is currently in beginner doggie classes. My partner Christina and I absolutely love her. She loves her rope bone and has recently discovered chicken basted raw hide bones. She has mastered sit, lay down and paw commands, but
