Apollo

"Would like to send you these pics of Apollo which we adopted from you."

 

We received a couple of photos from Apollo's adoptive family. Apollo was adopted back in April of this year, and it looks like this handsome guy is loving life now!

Bree & Suzy

Hi all, 

Just wanted to send you some pics of them both in their new home.

 

Bree of course explored everything right away; Suzy headed off for the closet, then under the bed for several hours but after many checks on her and gentle voices she finally came out on her own and took a look around. They both spent the night on the green and yellow quilt by the window and I think that's going to be their permanent spot.

 

Bree comes up on the bed two or three times a night to check in, as does Suzy now that she's becoming more confident. I woke up this morning to Bree napping beside me, Suzy jumped up after she realized I was awake.

 

Bree really enjoys the cat toys, I have a 'ball within a ring' toy that she really favors, as well as chasing light plastic golf balls around. I was pleasantly surprised to find out how much they enjoy being brushed, especially Suzy, who as of late sticks to me like a magnet, as does Bree. I'm surprised how docile they are.

 

As you can see in the pics they are really enjoying watching the birds and squirrels, they also saw one of the neighbor's cats walk past along the top of the fence but didn't seem too upset about it. My previous cat, Ana, used to get pretty angry to see another cat in 'her' backyard.

 

Hope all of you enjoyed the pics!

 

Best Wishes,

Michael

Scout

Just a note to tell you how in love we are with Scout! He has been with us for 1 month exactly - and we couldn’t imagine life without him!  

 

We are still working with him on a couple of bad habits, but all in all he is VERY well behaved. While he is not quite sleeping with the kitties yet, they are hissing less at him. J We take him on walks everyday, and haven’t seen any of the “inappropriate behavior” around other dogs we were warned of – though we will continue to be cautious.  

 

Thank you so much for allowing us to be Scout’s forever home – we really are blessed!  

 

Thanks again!

Olivia

Here's my favorite cat of all time, adopted at Homeward Pet in 2008!

 

The day I picked her up at Homeward Pet, several children in the waiting room called out "She's got Olivia!" as I walked past them to my car with my black beauty in her cage. I felt very lucky to get such a desired kitty, but also a little sad that she wouldn't have any kids to play with at my house! She may not have any kids, but she gets daily morning cuddles under the blankets with both her Mom AND Dad, daily playing with Da Bird, and tasty treats when she comes to her name!  Let's just say our world revolves around this feline!

 

Thank you,

Amy (Olivia's Human)

Fauna & Roxy (now Abby & Coco)

Hi there, we adopted two kittens from you, Fauna and Roxy, now Abby and Coco. I wanted to share their progress and pics.

 

Coco remains to be the quieter, smaller, calmer kitten, and she is an excellent hunter, ridding our home of those pesky winged things! She LOVES her head rubbed, the more thorough the better, and loves to snuggle in. Though she is smaller than Abby, she holds her own marvelously, and can also leap very high to get the feather toy. She is amazing.

 

Abby (the tabby) is the livelier of the duo, often knocking things off of surfaces and enthusiastically leaping around the room. Her energy is endless, but when she does sleep, she picks the funniest positions. She is highly intelligent, and often the ringleader for their kitty escapades.

 

Abby introduced me to the full-body kitty hug. I never knew a kitten could do this, but when my husband came home from work the day after their adoption, she threw herself onto his chest and actually hugged him. She then proceeded to rub her entire body along his face while giving kitty kisses (nose kisses). I've never met a more affectionate kitten.

 

Thank you for adopting to us, these kittens offer hours of entertainment everyday, as well as all the affection (and mischief) we can handle. They are the very best addition to our family.

Elliot (now Desi)

Elliott is now "Desi", just settling in after a bath and new hair-do.

Thanks so much!

Miss Thunder & Miss Lightning (now Kami & Ina)

We received a message and many adorable photos from the adopter of these two kitties; the message has been shortened up and we (the HPAC staff) chose the photos that we thought were cutest.

 

"My name is Jacob, and I am 16 years old.

Our last cat had died, leaving us cat-less. I had fallen into a deep depression. We had gone about 5-6 months without any pets. We had put all the litter boxes away, all the food dishes away, and gave our extra cans of food to our neighbors. The house was always silent.

Then we heard about Homeward Pet. 

Two years ago, we adopted two wonderful cats from Homeward Pet. At the time, their names were Miss Thunder and Miss Lightning. They were the odd ones out with their funny tails. Especially Miss Lightning because she was the one with the zigzag, lightning bolt shaped tail. The two were inseparable, and I loved them both instantly the moment I saw them.

We were all very excited when we brought them home. The kittens were so tiny I could hardly stand how cute they were. I spent a lot of time with them, and even did my homework with them. I did everything I could to make sure that we would bond well together. We had gotten a book when we got our cats called “Think Like a Cat.” I read that thing from cover to cover.

All of my friends were excited as well. One friend suggested the Japanese versions of their names, Kaminari (thunder) and Inazuma (lightning). Since then, we have shortened it down to Kami and Ina, or the "KamIna sisters."

I won’t say that I don’t have depression anymore, but the house is no longer empty. The little balls of fur follow me around all the time, and whenever one of us isn’t feeling well, they snuggle up to us. When I get home, they are the first ones to greet me.

We have built a whole carpeted tower for the kitties that they will run at full speed towards, jump halfway up it, and “spider cat” the rest of the way. They have so many little funny habits, from rolling on the floor onto their backs to get attention, all the way to how they don’t like cat treats."
