Smudge

Elaine writes,  "We adopted Smudge in December and he was really sick when we brought him home.  He is fully recovered and such a joy to us.  He came into our lives after we had lost two of our long time children Belle Kitty at 20 and Huggy Bear at 15 and he has brightened our lives so much!  He loves to play fetch with his mice and sponge balls and just about anything he can get into his mouth.  Smudge and his sister Serena are still feeling out their boundries but often I find them curled together cleaning each other up."

Pepe and Sunny

Melissa writes,   We adopted Pepe( prev Foxy) the dark haired tabby about a year ago on Valentines Day weekend, then this year we decided we wanted to continue the tradition this year and help another cat, so we got Sunny(prev. Bad). They are both the best cats we've ever had, they are so sweet, and if you can't tell their best friends.

Coco and sister Taffie

Melissa writes,  Coco the kitty was brought into our family for another kitten that was in the house.  The two cats did not get along right away…but Coco took right to both dogs even though she had not been with dogs.   Coco is pictured with Taffie.  Taffie is also a resuce pet. 

Devin and Motor

Leilani writes, this is Motor(cat). I fostered him and after 3 different people adopted him then returned him, I had to adopt him he was to sweet to go through that again that was in 2005. Devin Da Dude are best friends and brothers.

Peanut

Heather writes,  I adopted Peanut about a month after having lost a short battle with kidney failure with my six y/o cat, "Jellybean".  Loosing Jellybean was the hardest thing I've had to go through and the ordeal left a huge hole in my heart.  I felt so guilty for wanting to adopt so soon after Beans died but when I saw Peanut, I knew he had always been mine!  I instantly fell in love with him!  Peanut owned the place as soon as I brought him home and it was like he hadn't lived anywhere else.  He was fast friends with my dog, Pichu and my other cat, Kiwi.  He is such a boy kitten and sometimes I feel like I have a toddler, he's into everything!  Peanut keeps my boyfriend and I laughing.

Lenny

Liz writes,  I adopted Shep (now "Lenny") on Feb. 2, 2010, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Lenny and my other dog, Laverne, get along so well you would think they've known each other since birth.

Shelby

Mike writes, Shelby still working on the slogan she seems to be adopting as her own personal mantra.

Tracie

Vikki writes, We adopted our "Tracie" about two months ago and she is doing very well.  We love her so much!  We aren't sure what breed mix she is, but I think she's Greyhound and Beagle mix. She has adjusted very well to our family and is pretty much Queen Bee!  Each one of us fights over who gets to take a nap with her - she's so wonderful to snuggle with. She loves the outdoors and has a blast trying to "get to know" our stray cat that adopted us two years ago!  Thanks for making our lives fuller and richer! 

Zappa

Patty writes, I went looking for a kitten about 3 years ago and all yours were adopted out! But, I remembered coming there and thought I'd take the chance. Zappa is now the brother of Gizmo so how perfect is that! He is doing well. Quite the sweetie. He's been for his 48 hr. checkup and I also did the fecal exam and he's good to go. He has special tags coming with his name, address, etc. Patty
