Oscee is a happy cat. :)

 

Hello to everyone at Homeward Pets. I just wanted to let you all know that Oscee, the 2 year old tabby girl I adopted just 2 weeks ago has been doing wonderfully! She's become great friends with our other cat Hugo, a male tabby about her age. Here are some pictures for you. 

 

Thank you again for your wonderful work and service. We appreciate it!

Jackson/Miley!

 

 

Hello there,

 

Jackson and Miley (who we've renamed Beta and Delta, respectively) are both doing well, now.. We brought them both to the vet yesterday morning and they both also received a vaccination and a checkup.

They have both adjusted to their new home smoothly, even overcoming a brief encounter with the dastardly and insidious vacuum. Their personalities are absolutely amazing, extremely friendly to their owners and not too shy around strangers. They're playful, affectionate, eating well and exploring vigorously. Beta's going to be trouble for sure, his boldness constrained only by his vertical leap, but not for long.

 

We're very happy with the little guys and couldn't have hoped for a smoother transition. 

 

Thanks, take care.

Sandy is home!

Hi Katie,

We adopted Sandy a month ago. She was the one featured in your online pic as part of the pile of puppies you had. She is really sweet. She comes to work with us most days and the customers enjoy messing around with her. She is getting along great with our two year old black lab mix, Charlie. (98 pounds of mellow) He was also adopted from Homeward Pet, in addition to our almost 1 year old cat, Simba. We have a very full home now with kids and pets. Everyone loves it.

Sincerely,

Heather

update on tinker

I adopted Tinker in October of Last year. She has quite the personality. She barks at anything and everyone. She loves to roll in the grass. We just got two lizards(bearded dragons) she has discovered them so now she constantly barks at them. She loves to play, she like to tease as well, wish i had the energy she has. I enjoy her and and she is alot of company. Here is what tinker looks like today.

Mac and Jack!

 

OK, so now it's been almost two months since I brought Mac and Jack home and renamed them Shade and Shadow, respectively.  They're doing GREAT!!  Neither one is real fond of my 3 year old though, and understandably.  I wouldn't like someone that's constantly sticking their hand in my face to sniff, or grabbing me awkwardly when I'm trying to sleep, or chasing me through the house to pet me when I want to be left alone.  They're incredibly tolerant though and have never "grabbed" at my kids to be left alone.

They have a new area to explore now too.  For the winter we had plastic up on the outside of the windows that we recently took off, so now the boys can look out the windows and see what's going on in the Wide World.  Which reminds me to get a latching screen door so that Shade's chances of escape are lessened.  He's tried a couple times to take off out our front door.

Shade is the more friendly of the two, still.  He'll lounge on his back in the middle of the floor while we have company.  He'll accept at least an ear scratch from anyone that comes in.  He's not much for laps, but will spend the day curled up against my leg.  He loves the mouse shape our laser pointer can create and we can get him to spin like a top chasing it.  He's not much for the catnip I've sprinkled on the floor, but he's still super sweet and loving; even at 2 am.  I don't know how many nights I've felt his wet nose crashed against my face because he wants to be pet and loved on.  He's still the bigger and silkier of the two and will sometimes enforce his dominance on Shadow, who then whines and cries until Shade gets off. 

Shadow is still pretty stand-offish with everyone but me.  He's one of these cats that chooses one human to like and bond with and everyone else doesn't exist.  He LOVES the catnip I'll sprinkle on the floor.  He'll roll in it until he's covered, then jump in my lap and stare at me. He's the one who usually starts the games of Kitty Tag and Kitty Racing (think NASCAR) through the house.  Every morning, when the kids aren't in my bed, he and I will have some bonding/petting time where I just pet him from ear to tail and he turns into a purr machine. He's MY kitty after all :)  He also doesn't mind being picked up and carried, for short amounts of time. 

The longer I have these guys the happier we all are.  They're so FUN to have around, especially when they start tearing around the house and being goofy

Winkie!

I have to tell you that Winkie has been the biggest pleasure in my life, she has so much personality, is a total love and only needed time to warm up and become less scared. It is clear she had a bit of a tough time before she came to us, but she has brought more to our lives that we have to hers. I feel very lucky to have found her.

She also loves to fetch. It is the strangest thing, she’ll fetch for hours, and if you stop throwing the ball, she’ll bring it up and drop it on you. It is so funny. Thanks for saving her.

Pearl!

Kitty is sitting and purring in my lap as we speak. She has gotten used to her new surroundings SO much faster than I imagined possible. I thought for sure she would still be hiding from my kids. Instead she spent the morning chasing Kix cereal down the hallway, skidding and flipping as the kids laughed hysterically.

They all pitched in on the name and she is now Purple Police Princess Rosemary Pearl - but we still call her Pearl for short. I'll send some pictures soon. Just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you that she is fitting into our family beautifully and I have never met a nicer sweeter cat.
