Sydney

I adopted a little black kitty named Sydney back in February. I just wanted to let you guys know that she is doing so well and becomes more and more comfortable everyday. She has become very attached to me and greets me every time I come home with a big meow! We have a routine for feeding and play in the morning and night and she makes sure I stick by it.

Recently she has gotten comfortable enough to cuddle by my head every night and likes to find little cozy spots in my arms. I got her a scratching post when I first got her and she didn't use it at first. But now she love it!

Bumblebee (now Howie)



Just an update on Howie (Bumblebee) who I adopted about a year ago. He is a fun happy little guy who is spoiled by my parents and is very well traveled. The defender of the back yard, and a neighborhood favorite when he goes for walks. I am thankful this little guy is part of the family.

Leo (now Gus)

Gus (aka Leo) came to us at the time when we needed him most. We had just lost our first dog together - Jazzy (who we had also adopted from Homeward Pet as well) due kidney failure, she never gave any signs of being sick until the very end. It hit us harder than I expected it to, and while dealing with our grief I checked on Homeward Pet website and found a picture of Gus. 
 
My husband has always wanted a blue pitbull, so we decided to go and check out Gus the next day. He was perfect, and put the largest smile on our faces and made the sorrow of loosing Jazzy just a little more bearable. Since then we have gone on 3 hikes which he seems to enjoy, met all the neighbor children who he just wants to be loved by, and snuggled up on the couch to sit and relax. Gus has brought a lot of joy to our life when there could have been so much pain.
 
Thank you Homeward Pet for letting us be parents to such an amazing dog twice!

Goldie (now Cricket) & Spencer



Thank you Homeward Pet for matching us with Cricket (aka Goldie) a few years ago. We still love her dearly and our newest family member, Spencer, loves her too.

Grace & Blythe (now Zoe & Zuzu)

The 2 sisters who were once named Grace and Blythe and then Rocket Raquel and Lilly are now going by the names of Zuzu and Zoe. They've sure had a lot of help along the way from you folks and this I think has made them the sweet and affectionate girls they are today! I've had cats my whole life and have never met any that purred this much. They are purring machines! Even when I'm just talking to them, not petting them, they purr. 
 
We are so blessed to have them in our lives. It's only been a few weeks but we are so in love with them. They are best friends in every sense of the word. They groom each other, wrestle, chase, play, sleep, and even eat, drink, and go potty at the same time! I'm including a few photos of them in this email. You can see how much they've already grown!

If you are ever curious about their lives, feel free to send me an email. I'm never at a loss for photos!

Itchy (now Izzy)




I am the new proud owner of Izzy (her shelter name was Itchy) and I want to send a follow up letting you guys know how she's doing. Izzy has adjusted very well. She is such a sweetheart and we are so thankful for Homeward Pet and for your help with finding our precious Izzy.
