Puppies

For one day, The Cat People became The Cat and Dog People! A few very cold months ago, a young pregnant Terrier was dumped in the park. She was so frightened, that while all the feeders took pains to feed her, she would not come near. On November 29, she crawled under the only Palm tree  and had 5 puppies. Phyllis and Dale, our ever faithful morning feeders, took it upon themselves to constantly bring her out warm chicken, steak, etc. We knew that we could not leave them there and worried nightly that they would freeze in our winter temperatures. After much patience and feeding, Phyllis picked Mama dog up and put her into a large cat carrier. David Serrano, our Wednesday night feeder, cut into the palm and climbed in to rescue the 5  two and a half week old puppies. From there, all were taken into Dr. Martin at Soutwest Vets who was amazed at how well they looked, given their harsh environment. Cindy Joslin, our wonderful co-Saturday feeder is now the foster mom who has fallen in love with this little terrier. We now must start looking for homes for the puppies. If you know an amimal lover looking for a darling puppy, let us know! I can tell you that, along with Phyllis, we will all sleep better after this dramatic rescue!

Success

Adoptions have been going well! This last Saturday we had EIGHT kitties adopted at Petco! People have been finding their forever friends on our website! Here are two stories of successful placements through the webpage.

The Lion Girls (The First Adoption Through the Website!!)

The Lion Girls were a group of three sisters rescued by The Cat People a few months back. One of the girls got adopted at Petco, but the other two were still waiting for their forever homes. Their profile was placed on the website in hopes of finding them a new family.

In late October, Nathan and Terrie found the profile on our website. They had adopted a kitty from the cat people 15 years ago (wow!) but unfortunately it had passed away from old age. Nathan and Terrie emailed us in hopes of  making the Lion Girls part of their family. They went through the application process and got to meet the kitties. They decided that the sisters were perfect for the family and signed the adoption papers.

They recently contacted us with photos and an update on how the sisters are doing. They have named the girls Ginger and Jewel and are very happy with them! Nathan and Terrie told us, "They have brought such joy and happiness to our lives."

Perry and Whitney

Perry and Whitney were rescued from an abandoned building that was going to be torn down. They waited in foster care for months trying to find the right home. Their profiles were put on the webpage and videos were posted on YouTube but it seemed like they were going to be stuck in foster care for a very long time.

In November, Jessica contacted us because she had seen their profiles on the website and enjoyed their YouTube videos. She had grown up with cats, and really wanted to find the right kitties to bring into her home. We set up a time with her to meet Perry and Whitney, hoping that she would decide that they were the right match.

Jessica brought her children in with her  to meet the kitties. They all were very excited! Jessica went through the application and decided that Perry and Whitney were perfect for her family. Jessica stays in contact with us on Facebook, and she recently let us know how they were doing. Jessica said, "Whitney is VERY rambunctious, keeps us on our toes and laughing all the time! Perry is very petite and calm, doesn't like loud noises and prefers to stay in her hiding spot under the side table until the kids are asleep. It's been a blast having them here to keep us entertained!" Her kids have also been enjoying the kitties and her son Bradley named them Sushi and Kabuki.

Jessica also shared her experience with adopting her cats with us. "Thank you all so much for introducing us to Whitney & Perry! We've been absolutely blessed with their presence. The Cat People were absolutely amazing in helping us complete our family!"
