We reached out to CARE about adopting Midnight based on his bio. He was described as being a sweet and shy boy, which we thought would be a good fit for our family. We adopted a cat previously from CARE and had a great experience, so we knew that we wanted to adopt through them again.
When we adopted our first cat through CARE, we did a meet and greet first, however with Midnight we were told that he wouldn’t interact with us much on a meet and greet, so moving right to a trial adoption would be best. We agreed and before we knew it Midnight had come to live with us for a trial period. He was very shy at first. He would hide behind objects and wouldn’t come out to visit with us. We would go into his room daily anyway and talk to him to let him know that he was safe with us. Midnight would only come out at night to eat and use his litter box.
Finally, after three weeks, we had a break though and he came out of his hiding spot and allowed me to pet him. After that he started slowly coming out more, though spending most of his time hiding under the couch or bed. After several more weeks, we started to see more of his personality and he was getting along with our other two cats.
He truly is a sweet boy! He loves to cuddle and be petted. But we also learned that he has the cutest meow and is quite vocal. He greets me everyday when I get home from work! He also loves to play. He will carry his toys around the house and is always up for some playtime. He still hides when new people come over and can be a bit skittish when there are loud noises, but now he spends most of his time out in the living area and has become part of the family. Midnight took a lot of time and patience before he felt comfortable, but I find that he was worth the wait and we just love him.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I came across Frankie’s rescue papers and thought I would let you know how he’s doing.
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.
