Harry (now Asher) & Pollyann

Hi Homeward Pets!

Just wanted to give you an update on the two very special additions to our family, we love them so much and they are wonderful kitties. Thank you to the amazing foster homes that took them in, you can tell them were well loved and cared for!
 
First I’ll say we changed Harry’s name to Asher since my son had his heart set on adopting Asher first, he still really liked the name so we stayed with that. The kids call them Polly & Ash for short.
 
The first two nights were interesting - there was a bit of hissing and wrestling going on so we consulted the "Cat Bible" you gave us and realized they were just trying to figure out who was going to be dominant. I think they’re still trying to figure that out and switch roles pretty regularly, but no more hissing and wrestling is clearly play.
 
By Saturday they were bonded - they no longer sleep apart, they are little cute sleeping buddies. Even if one is tired and the other isn’t they both curl up together, one sleeps and the other keeps watch. They either nap on top of our cat tree or they curl up on the back of an oversized teddy bear we have. They are eating and sleeping like champs, are interactive and come to greet us as soon as we get home. We are keeping them in our playroom right now until they get a bit bigger, so their cat tree, little box, food and toys are all strategically located around the room.
 
Polly is very curious about everything, independent but loving and loves to play. Ash is quietly confident, loves a good lap and goes through bursts of energy which are so funny. They are amazing additions to our family.
 
Thank you again for all that you do for these animals!
