We love having George and Honey be part of our family. Honey (Beverly) adores our Labrador and will snuggle with him. She is definitely not afraid to defend George if Koko chases him. Honey had him hiding in the bathroom for 10 minutes one time with her race car growl. George likes to investigate everything and will hold your hand w/his speckled paw. They love to nap in their pineapple squishmallow bed or sit on the hammock to look out the window! They had a wonderful foster mom who took very good care of them. We are so happy George and Honey are here with us.
Happy Endings
My sweet and fun Emy Lou!
After I lost my 11 year old cat, Kiara, I adopted Emy from CARE. She has given me so much love and laughter. She’s so fun and smart! Thank you Patti and John (foster caregivers) for taking care of sweet Emy. I’m so happy to find her, and she couldn’t be more perfect for me.
Trespasser
I was just out on my porch and our feral cat, turned full time lap cat, jumped up to hang out with me for a few minutes. So I thought I’d send an update.
We originally thought he, named Trespasser, was a “she” back in April before I trapped him and had him neutered with CARE. Once I made it back home after the surgery, I let him out of the trap and didn’t see him for three days. When he came back, I fed him and apologized for the ear and testicle clip – Ha Ha! He hasn’t left, although he has taken his sweet time warming up to us. My husband and I have made it a competition to see who he would “love” first. It’s only been a couple weeks since he started jumping up in our laps, but he’s here to stay. He’s still cautious of new people but he’s a human lover now, and quickly shows jealousy with our other two outdoor cats (O’Malley and Luci, also spayed/neutered by CARE).
Here’s a couple pictures of him, he’s a sweet boy that cheeses when he gets head rubs, and we’re working with his claw use because he still doesn’t realize they hurt. We are also trying to warm him up to coming inside, as we would like to give him the option (if he’ll have it) this winter when it gets really cold.
We are a happy and full home (mouse free in a 1900 built house to boot!) because of CARE. Many, many thanks to y’all.
Peachy Keen!
Formerly Sameen, Peach has been an adorable and delightful addition to our little family! She and Cleo are best pals, and spend almost all day cuddling and playing.
Milo is home!
Almost a month ago, Milo, a handsome 8-yr-old tuxedo kitty, became our resident feline. We were, for the first time in decades, pet-less after the death of our old foundling, T. William, a dog not known for his love of cats. We feel very fortunate to have found Milo who, as well as being decorative, is sweet, affectionate and playful. He enjoys his time sitting in the windowsill, watching and hearing his bird neighbors, or taking the sun in his bed by the sliders. Thanks to CARE and his foster parents for their unselfish devotion to homeless pets–we appreciate your care of Milo, which has helped to make him such a great addition to our household!
Frankie is 18 years old!
I came across Frankie’s rescue papers and thought I would let you know how he’s doing.
He turns 18 this year and other than losing a lot of teeth he’s doing ok. He had a lot of teeth pulled years ago, but three years ago the vet said it wasn’t safe to pull the rest. Found he had a heart murmur and a large mass on his lung. At that time they gave him six months and he’s still with us! He has developed old age stuff that old dogs get and has lost weight but in all, he’s doing good. 🙂
Elie, Our Maltese
We saw Elie first on Petfinder so we submitted an application. Soon afterward, Joy Duquette called us. We were on our way to meet Elie! And, what a girl! Elie is our little sweetie. She follows her mom all over the house, and her dad too. She has charmed our vets and staff at Kindred Heart as well as everyone she meets. She follows her poodle brother around and they have become best of friends. Mom (me) has already bought her two sweaters and pajamas. We thank Joy for doing such a good job fostering her. Elie is a doll.
Best Friends
Having lost both of my parents within 5 months, I had to be away from home quite a bit. In spite of having friends regularly checking in on our 2-year-old tabby Zar, he developed pretty severe separation anxiety. We debated getting another cat – a friend for him. Would he like them? Would this new addition just kick his existing anxiety into overdrive? Should we do it?
A decision was made. We’ll give it a shot and see how it goes. We found CARE, and set up a time to go visit some kitties. That’s when we met Maverick. He was the first kitty to approach us, and we felt like his energy would match Zar’s. I feel like he chose us, so the decision was an easy one.
His foster mom Patti brought him over to the apartment, and guided us through how to go about slowly introducing him to Zar. Long story short, Maverick has been with us for 3 weeks, and he and Zar are the best of friends. They eat and sleep together, and even groom each other. I think that Zar was a lot lonelier than we realized. We call Maverick “our mini-panther”. He is the sweetest snuggle-bug. We love Maverick, and are so happy to have him in our family. I can’t wait to see what kind of mischief these two get into over the next many years.
