We adopted Basia about three years ago from homeward pet. I had lost one of two cats the year before and the second had passed away just a couple of months ago. I decided with my future wife that we were missing something in our life and we needed another kitty. We had heard about homeward pets and they were so close to home we went to see their kitties. We were looking for a young kitten but it seemed that none of them would work out for us. But we looked and played with the older cats and we fell in love with Basia. She was about 4years old at the time, very playful and smart. She has become an integral part of our family especially comforting my wife as she went through brain surgery and getting her CNA license. This last summer we saw another story about homeward pet and how they were overwhelmed with the number of stray kittens. So we thought well maybe Basia would like a companion. We went to the shelter and looked at all the kittens. We really were trying to stay away from long haired cats but I was drawn to one little grey kitty named Davey Jones. We looked at him and said well his hair isn’t that long and he is young enough for us to change his name. We didn’t realize how much hair Peanut would eventually have. We decided to take him home even after we were told he was shy and not very cuddly. He turned out to be quite the opposite. And he is almost all hair and often a racing ball of energy. He is also very clumsy and comical and he loves to wait for Basia and pounce on her. Basia takes good care of her little brother bathing him, playing with him, scolding him when he is bad (mostly when she doesn’t want to play.) We hope you enjoy their pictures. We are so happy to have them in our lives, thank you homeward pet.
