Hunter and Hershey

 It's been a week since I adopted my new Pals Hunter and Hershey. We are all adjusting quite well.  

Buddy (Royal)

 Here are some pictures of Buddy (Royal).  We love his so much.  He has been the best addition to our family we could ever ask for.  He is a wonderful kitten and has brought us so much joy.

Nikolai (Niki) formerly Walter

Things are going great with Niki .His foster mom know she did a fabulous job..he is so affectionate & well adjusted. He has a new buddy , they are fast friends and are exactly the same age. It was meant to be. Niki has a silly side  and  loves to play with water. I cant keep the water bowls filled and  he comes running when he hears the shower!

Nina (aka Eleanor)

Nina (aka Eleanor) is still a petite girl but has filled out weight-wise. She is a playful, energetic lady with a mind of her own. She is independent but will still let me rub her belly and kiss her nose. She loves to watch the birds on the feeder from the window or from the deck (I have a harness/leash for her so she can't go far). She runs to greet me at the door every day when I get home from work.

Apache a.k.a Phoenix

We adopted Apache, a little black kitten, in June. Apache is now named Phoenix and he has settled into his new home very well.  He was part of the family from the minute we brought him home.  He gets along very well with his big sister Misty (2 year old cat) and they play together all the time. He loves my kids and has decided my 11 year old is his mommy.  We love him very much and are so happy we added him to our family

Lily

I adopted Lily back in June of this year, she's now 6 almost 7 months. Her family and I ADORE her so much. She's brought so much joy to our house and she's just exactly what we needed ever since our cat, Manola, who we had for 15 happy year with before she passed away. Lily is a very happy cat, she's extremely crazy, she's loveable, and a purry purr machine.

Ivy

Just wanted to let you know how Ivy is doing. We adopted her back in July and she has been a perfect addition to our family. She is fantastic with my kids and will sit with them  and never scratches. She is the perfect mix of play and cuddles. She loves our dog and tries to attack her bushy tail. Her and our other female cat get along well. Recently she has started sleeping with me every night. Where ever you are in the house she comes to visit. Thank you for caring for her. We love her!!

Jack and Jill

 

These two cats have been great in transitioning into their new home and family. They are very much a part of the family and are such great pets for these two little girls- Very loving and very tolerant of children's hands. 

They play great together and are wonderful company for each other. They are especially loving and cuddly with us at bedtime and when they wake us up in the morning

We've also renamed them 'Jack and Jill' which our oldest daughter proudly came up with... 

Jill still quite a bit smaller than Jack but she is often found trying to eat his food portion after hers is gone. I think she'll catch up to him! 

Simon

King

King is quite the bratty little cat :D.  He nibbles exposed toes, and if he is in playful mood - watch out!  It's been years since we have had a young cat in the house.  He seemingly loves to play with my toddler.  Nathan shakes the fishing toy for him, and he loves to attack it.  But like a typical 2 year old, Nathan forgets they are playing and walks off dragging the toy, and the game continues.  When I work from home he spends the day curled up under my desk.  If everyone leaves the house, he sleeps on the doormat waiting for us to come home.  We have learned to open the door really slowly upon coming home.  He has found his own sleeping spots, and honestly, is just like any other cat.  My existing cats fully ignored him for a bit, but now they eat side by side with no issues.  Although sometimes he will randomly swat at them.  I think he wants to play with them. My guys are so lazy they just look perplexed and walk away.  He is seemingly happy here.  

On my older son's chair. The green below him would be my younger boy's stuffed turtle binky.  He found it unattended on the floor and stole it!

Smudge

Smudge is adjusting very well to her new home. She has a very healthy appetite, loves to play and is always affectionate. She really has the sweetest personality. 

leena

Leena is settling in and enjoying some (supervised) bird watching in the fresh air. She found her forever home with us.

Tippy Toes

Tippy Toes is an awsome cat.  He is so sweet and loving.  He likes to cuddle and boy does he like to purr. He and Buster  get along very well.  Buster is a 13 year old ginger cat and Tippy Toes loves to jump over him and cuddle with him.  Tippy Toes also likes bird watching out the guest bedroom and kitchen windows which are both level with a tree that the birds love to congregate in.  The first week he was with me Tippy Toes took all the wand toys and placed them on my bed where he sleeps.  He loves toys and has a basket full of them. 

Phantom

Phantom has brought SO much joy to our house! His comedic antics keep us laughing all the time. He spends a good deal of time during the day watching the birds that come to the feeder outside our kitchen window. He has also adopted a corner of the sofa as his favorite sleeping place. We love him!!!

Nemo

Nemo is doing great, he eats well and has moved in quite comfortably.

Watson

Watson is doing EXCELLENT! He basically rules the house, always putting his two puppy siblings in their place if they get out of hand! Recently we adopted a 8 week old calico kitten and she thinks Watson is the best big brother! Watson has accepted her into our home well, today we caught the two snuggling and he was washing her! He truly is a special boy, and while not overly affectionate, he is perfect for us! And he has done a fine job of mousing, he got 7 in a two week period!

Kittle

Kittles is doing wonderful. She made herself at home instantly, and the whole family loves her. We have friends come over just to play with her, she's very playful and spends the day running around and loves being around people. 

Poppy

Poppy is adapting well to his new home.

Nero

Nero is doing just fine.  Within a day of being here he found the couch, so now one end is his with his bed.  Licorice is a pest to him but overall they are getting along.  I’d say he was depressed for a little while, but recently seems to have perked up and comes to me when I feed him. His foster mother and I are in contact and she sent some little homemade catnip presents, which was very sweet.

Scout a.k.a Susie

Susie now named Scout is doing well and was not shy at all once she got home! She is quite feisty but also very sweet. 

Helga

When Helga came out of the carrier she was not afraid at all and spent some time exploring. She checked out her new litter box and came running when she heard the can of food pop open. Afterwards she washed up and then the neatest thing: she went up to me with her tail high and stared up at him to let him know she was happy.

Maddie formerly Blossom

Blossom (now Maddie) is doing great! She’s wonderful company for me (as I work out of my home) and her playfulness keeps us entertained every day. She’s been spoiled with lots of toys and her own huge cat tower – she rules the roost! 

Fuzziwig a.k.a Reily

Reilly was totally petrified of everyone and any movement when we first brought him home. Things slowly progressed and within the past month he's decided he's head over heals for us and just can't seem to get enough love. He is now named Fuzziwig, a character from Dickens A Christmas Carol, as he was adopted in December, he's jolly and round, and he kneads the floor when you pet him making him look like he's doing a dance.  He also gets along great with his two brothers Stubby (also via POA) and Mr. Kitka.

Jeremy

It has been three weeks since we brought Jeremy home, he is settling in and finding his way here.  He is definitely still a scaredy cat, but is making progress every day!
