Dave and I would like to thank you for you and your staff’s hospitality when we visited your wonderful facility last Monday.  “Andy”, as you can see, was so thankful to be adopted.  He fits right in with our lifestyle, and we already love him.  He has the run of the house and sleeps at the foot of our bed, from the very first night. 

Thank you so much and I’ll send pics every now and then.  We are thinking of changing his name to “Sunny”, but haven’t decided as of yet. 

Again, we appreciate you and your staff opening the doors for us on Monday.

Hello and Merry Christmas, This is my first Christmas with my new parents and I am so happy to be living here with them.  I came to live with them on July 6th after my dad came to get me from the Cat Shelter in York, Nebraska.  They named me Yorky since I am from York and while I was waiting for them in York, NE, they were on vacation in York, England...it was destiny!  My parents pay a lot of attention to me...they are always buying me new kinds of food, which I do not eat as I just like the stuff they fed me when I lived in York. But at least I am not eating out of a dumpster anymore.! I get lots of toys and they play "Red Bird" with me, which is my favorite gam.  Mom will also play tag with me...I usually win by running down stairs..she does not want to follow because she knows that the minute she gets down there I run back up.  Mom has attached a picture of me.

 

(Tony AKA Yorkie was found living behind a motel near interstate I-80.  He was dirty, matted and very hungry when he was rescued and brought to York Adopt a Pet)

Hi Everyone!  Well I keep thinking I will send you an update on our little Chino but haven't gotten it done.  We adopted one of two sisters (my oldest son and his girlfriend adopted her sister and they get together to play all the time!).  Ours was one of several beautiful calico kittens brought in after they were found in a box, abandoned on a country road right around Christmas time.  They were gorgeous but a bit scrawny and needing good homes.  We adopted this little girl and changed her name from Selba Jean (her kennel name) to Cappuccino.  We call her Chino for short.  I have to tell you that I was little worried when we took her in for her first vet checkup and found that she had some respiratory problems.  With great vet care, time and lots of love, our skinny little runt has become a healthy, happy, chubby diva cat!  My son absolutely loves her and they are pretty much inseparable around the house.  Chino naps on his bed most of the day and gets up long enough to play or eat!  If I stop long enough to sit or lay on the couch, she is in my lap and ready for some attention.  I can't imagine our house without her and just wanted to thank you for rescuing our Chino and her littermates. 

She is truly a loved little cat :)

I adopted Max (formerly Gus) about 3 1/2 years ago.  He had such a heartbreaking story that I couldn't resist!  After several attempts, he was finally caught under a vehicle in the freezing cold.  He had been adopted out, but he must have not liked his new home very much, because he somehow made his way back to LaMoine's place.  He came up to me right away and started meowing and rubbing against me.  Little did I know, his meow would be one of the loudest I've ever heard!  And trust me, he uses it quite frequently.  When I first got Max, I couldn't hold him for 2 seconds before he was out of my arms and scurrying across the house.  Now, he is the first one to jump on my lap and curl up!  He has made such amazing progress over the past few years.  I am so thankful every day that I have him in my life.  Thank you all so much for what you do.  You make such a difference.  You have definitely made a difference in both of our lives.

Sincerely,

Jessica

We are enjoying our new cats very much. Also, I am so glad we didn't split up the boys because they are such a complete pair. We named the boys Phineas and Ferb (after the cartoon of course) Phineas has the shorter hair and Ferb is the longer haired one. Angela is now Tabitha  and although she was super shy to begin with, she has really come around and is spending more and more time upstairs with the rest of us. This week she has been playing with the other cats and they are showing her how to have a good time with a paper bag! So I am officially a crazy cat lady! Leo and Eli have been having so much fun with them and actually think they are training them-ha ha.   Anyway, Have a great weekend and thanks for all you do for the Adopt a Pet animals our lives wouldn't be the same without them!

To all my Pals: Hey remember me, I’m that big old Tommy cat.  Well I’m finally settled in my new home.  I’ve got the old people trained pretty well.  They figured out if I rattle a door knob that means I want in that room or out of it.  I have a big brother, a saint Bernie or something like that, and a little sister, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to eat her or what, she’s a rat terry or close to that.   What ever she’s old so I leave her alone.  But that saint bernie is fun I follow him all over and jump on his back to get to something else, he’s always trying to hide from me but he’s not hard to find.  The old lady here got me a new poop box cause I didn’t fit in the other one anymore, this one is really nice & big.  She also calls me her lover kitty, see I really do have them brainwashed and trained.  I hope you guys are doing good and make sure you the ask the adoptive parents if they have a saint bernie, they give you something to do all day.  Then you can sleep on the old man at nap time and the old womans pillow at night.   Speaking of a nap it’s time for my cat nap, so keep your ears clean and remember your manners, scratch after you poop.  I’ll sign the old womans name.

I should have written this sooner. My only excuse is another blizzard more time off school, broken water pipe, hot water heater that died and life in general.  But I did want you to know how Teddy was getting along. I hope you can open the picture of my daughter and him. The kids are breaking thru his shyness. We take turns holding and brushing him every night. I'm a little put out right now, as he has decided he would rather sleep with our youngest daughter than me. LOL :)  I told her it's only because he likes to hog the bed and she's small.

He really is a wonderful cat.He purrs all the time. And follows me every morning while I'm getting ready, until I stop and feed him.


Our other cat Pixie and Teddy tolerate each other. I think they just need time to decide to get used to each other. The dogs don't bother him at all. We got him cute little pink heart dishes, which my son pointed out were  awfully girly. He's  eating well and didn't even mind his bath.


Well just wanted you to know we are doing well. And he is well loved.


Thanks


Joni

My husband and I adopted from you about a year ago, and I just wanted to give you an update on Zoey.  :)  We LOVE her to death, and she's very healthy!  I just wanted to send you a picture of what she looks like now.  Thanks so much!
