Thankful Thursday!!

We have said it before, but we love saying it....

WE LOVE UPDATES ON FOSTERS AND ADOPTIONS!!

So, let's see......

Mom heard from Dagwood's new mom the other day (he had been adopted and returned and his paperwork was missing, so Miss Bev was calling to see if it had been found). Seems Daggie moved right in and has been wonderful. They love him lots and while Doogan (their 13 year old female) is a little hesitant, he has been great with her. So, it was worth the wait for the perfect match.

We also heard from the Dust Bunny's new mom. She is doing wonderful and also fitting right into the family. Her new older sibling isn't too sure about her but they got busted the other day ALMOST sleeping next to each other. MOL 

And here is a serious flashback -

We had a litter of kittens named after nuts. And when mom left the humane society, she was able to tranfer them to the shelter where she volunteers now. Well our friend Miss Kelly was looking for a kitten for her brother and sister-in-law and decided to adopt Pecan for them. The nice part is when Miss Kelly goes to see her parents, she gets the updates from her brother who lives nearby. Pecan (they call her Squeekers and mom just can't do it) lives with a teenage boy and two big dogs....and from what we understand is completely in charge of everything.

And in an interesting turn, mom was at the shelter Tuesday night and was talking to a dad and daughter that had stopped in to look at the cats. Mom asked if they had adopted before and the girl said they got their last one from the shelter as a kitten and her name was Hazel.  Mom asked about the dates and it has to be our Hazel girl (Pecan's sister). She is doing very well, kind of shy but she was that way with us. :)

Second some news: a couple of weeks ago we featured Dagwood. Well, he was adopted Friday night. A nice older couple saw him and fell in love. They have a 13 year old female cat that will have to get used to our boy, but he is pretty laid back so we don't forsee any issues.

Congrats Daggie!!

Now, on to our next contestant.....

With Dagwood going home Friday, mom headed over to the adoption center on Saturday to find another kitty to take to Petco. After a few bachelors didn't make the cut (one was unwilling to cooperate, one sneezed on mom and the last had boogers). Since mom doesn't want to be bringing anyone back right away, they moved on.

Well, there was a cute little girl in the kitten room and they decided to send her. She is super sweet and was rubbing on all the volunteers. She was found (as most of the rescues are) and wasn't going to survive on her own.

Meet Jasmine:

Opt to Adopt - Dagwood

Mom needed a cat to put up into the adoption cages at the Petco store. She contacted the rescue and picked up Dagwood last week. He is about 9 months old and super sweet. Apparently he was found as a tiny kitten but the person who found him wasn't caring for him properly and the rescue took him in last fall.

Mom was up at the store on Monday night to clean the cages. She took her harness and leash to give him to freedom and keep him out of her way. He was...ok with it. Then she looped the leash through a beltloop and next thing you know - presto and he was gone. Must have twisted just right and then took himself for a walk around the store. MOL  Good going Dagwood!!!

He is going to be a BIG house panther when he is done growing.....
