April Adoptaversary Updates!<\/h1>\n

April 2016<\/h3>\n

Michelle & John R. with Ray Ray and Scooter:<\/strong> \u201cEverything is going well.\u00a0 Scooter and Ray-Ray have trained\"\" us well.\u00a0 They are very sweet boys and love to be involved in everything we do. When we walked into the Town Cats room, Scooter immediately rubbed against John\u2019s leg. I love to \"\"say that he chose John.\u00a0 When I said that we really wanted a bonded pair or littermates, we were happy to find out that Scooter had a brother. We are so happy that they have become a part of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martha P. with Tinkerbell:<\/strong> \u201cTinkerbell grew up to be a beautiful big girl, with a hearty appetite.\u00a0 She has a sweet, shy disposition.\u00a0 She loves to sit in laps when not chasing her best friend, the Chihuahua, (or eating his food).\u00a0 She’s pretty camera-shy, but here’s a picture of her with her best buddy.\u00a0 She looks to us like she may be part of all Egyptian Mau, but who knows for sure. Thanks for checking on her!\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke S. with Rascal:<\/strong> \u201cI can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been 5 years since we spotted our beloved Rascal. He fit right in with our family when we brought him home and he captured our hearts immediately. He is very happy and is loved beyond measure. Not a day goes by that he isn\u2019t spoiled in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alice with Cesar:<\/strong> \u201cWe LOVE CESAR!! MY 27YR old son loves and adores him!! He is the perfect cat and sock stealer! Thanks again!\u201d<\/p>\n

Vicki with Daisy:<\/strong> \u201cShe\u2019s wonderful! Wish I was still volunteering for Town Cats!\u201d<\/p>\n

April 2017<\/h3>\n

\"\"Rama N. with Zeus:<\/strong> \u201cThank you for checking in on us and Frankie\/Zeus.\u00a0 We cannot believe it\u2019s been 4 years since we\u2019ve had Zeus, it feels like a lifetime connection.\u00a0 He is doing fantastic, thriving with all of the attention from my two girls who are remote learning.\u00a0 He is a very\"\" talkative and affectionate cat whose beauty lets him get away with all sorts of naughty behavior.\u00a0 Here are a few pics of Zeus doing what he does best, napping and cuddling.\u00a0 As you can see from the first two pics, he is the girls\u2019 favorite model and they love taking pictures of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julianne P. with Mochi:<\/strong> \u201cEverything is going well. We renamed her Mochi and she\u2019s a really sweet kitty. She is extremely timid and spends most of her time hiding somewhere in the house but she comes out for food and when she wants pets. We are just happy to provide her with a safe home and hope one day she will come out of her shell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn R. with Lilly:<\/strong> \u201cI’m happy to report that Lilly is doing very well.\u00a0 She remains somewhat afraid of most people (me included) when we are standing or upright, but doesn’t scurry away anymore.\u00a0 Rather, she evaluates her escape route and saunters out after eye contact and reassurance.\u00a0 Of course, she loves my husband and will approach his chair for pets on her back. Nighttime is a different matter.\u00a0 She sleeps between us, expecting to be petted and scratched behind her ears, all the while purring loudly.\u00a0 And if she suspects I am awake in the middle of the night, she “noses” me to let me know she’d love to be loved and petted.\u00a0 She seems to have no fear if I’m lying down. I really can’t fathom what her previous owner did to her to make her so fearful.\u00a0 In addition to having her declawed, I suspect she also had her vocal cords cut.\u00a0 She cannot meow. Instead, she makes these sometimes loud sounds, almost like a bark.\u00a0 Ark!\u00a0 Ark!\u00a0 She is quite communicative nonetheless and loves to be talked to–at a distance. We have also adopted another cat, “Little One” who is 13 and absolutely teeny.\u00a0 She had been semi-feral but has turned into a lover. She’s a good role model for Lilly who is learning to sit in the rooms with us rather than spending her time alone in her “nest.”\u00a0 They share the bed with us–while our Great Pyrenees dog sleeps outside our bedroom door, guarding us all. I think Lilly is happy with her family.\u00a0 She is definitely loved, talked to, and petted (in bed at night).\u00a0 She’s a lovely cat and we are so glad she is with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Xin D. with Tim:<\/strong> \u201cTim is doing great! He became such a picky cat about his wet food though lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

April 2018<\/h3>\n

Melanie T. with Chanel:<\/strong> \u201cThank you for reaching out to check on Nora( Chanel). She is doing great and is a wonderful source of love and interaction.\u00a0 She has been resilient when my daughter moved home with her cat and even was fine with the addition of a German shepherd puppy.\u00a0 All are gone again and it is just Chanel and me but we have a great time together every day.\u00a0 She likes to be groomed so we do that often and she has a strong play drive so she gets plenty of running around my house.\u00a0 At every opportunity, she is sitting in my lap or sleeping on me when I’m in bed.\u00a0 Truly, she has been a gift from heaven for me. Hoping all is well with Town Cats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teresa B. with Gus Gus:<\/strong> \u201cOh Thank you for asking! I call King Larry “Gus Gus”.\u00a0 He is very happy.\u00a0 He is still a very big cat but the Vet says he is Not overweight; he is a perfect weight for a Big Cat!\u00a0 The Vet says he is healthy (..even though FIV+). He does LOVE treats!!!!\u00a0 Hartz Lickeable “Delectables” which I can’t find lately for some reason are always “Temporarily out of stock”\u00a0 and also crunchy “Temptations” treats.\u00a0 Most of all he is a LAP CAT!!!\u00a0 I spend hours with him every day. If I am reading in my chair; he is on my lap.\u00a0 If I am watching TV; he is on my lap.\u00a0 He loves to be BRUSHED and he loves sitting in his two windows…watching the chirping birds or the occasional neighborhood cat. Thank you for asking!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy V. with Willie:<\/strong> \u201cWillie is doing great! He\u2019s got one playful and affectionate brother and one rambunctious younger brother. He\u2019s filled our hearts with love and a great sense of family. He has been a perfect fit into all of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

April 2019<\/h3>\n

Natalia B. with Arianna:<\/strong> \u201cI’m still in love with Arianna!! She is a lovely, sweet, grumpy(sometimes) cat!! She is doing pretty well. She likes to hang out with us all the time. She is healthy. I can’t believe it’s going to be 2 years!! She has brought joy and love to our lives. I sent a Christmas picture to Town Cats. Not sure if they received it. I’m sending some pictures! Thank you for the email!\"\"<\/p>\n

Catherine R. with Bella:<\/strong> \u201cThank you for the special email. Momo is now Bella and she is loving life! She loves to play, be active, and hang out and watch the birds outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tiffany C. with Madame Tortuga aka BB:<\/strong> As far as Madame Tortuga (or BB as we call her), she is doing great! She\u2019s happy and healthy, and about 9 years old now but still running and playing like she\u2019s a kitten. She\u2019s been an absolute joy to have around since day one.\u00a0 She \"\"loves to cuddle and sleeps at the foot of my bed every night, and since I have been working from home full time for the last year, she hangs out in my home office with me during the day and makes an occasional appearance at my work video calls (usually at least one person in each meeting will ask how she is doing). She\u2019s a little skittish\"\" around new people but gets used to them pretty quickly once she realizes they will pet her and has had several people remark that she has the softest fur of any cat they have ever met (her fur is fully grown now, though she was shaved in her Town Cats days). Now she spends most of her days lounging in the sun, grooming herself, and playing with laser pointers and stuffed mouse toys. She\u2019s an absolute sweetheart, my partner and I both adore her and I am so glad I brought her home two years ago. She will be with us for the rest of her days (which will hopefully be another 10 years!) and she will be loved for every one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

April 2020<\/h3>\n

Kerry R. with Lily (Didi):<\/strong> \u201cLily (Didi). Is my love bucket!\u00a0 It took almost 9 months before she would look me in the \"\"eyes but absolutely loves to be petted and brushed.\u00a0 She is an early riser and announces quite loudly when it is time to be fed and time to get up!\u00a0 I just took her in for her yearly checkup at the vet.\u00a0 She is very healthy and sweet.\u00a0 She loves the dog and will bring him her toys and lay them on the dog bed. She is learning how to play hide and seek and loves to chase a beam of light. She is also my co-teacher when I am on Zoom with my classes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
