Opt to Adopt - sorta

First - Jasmine was adopted on Saturday!!!  A nice young family came in and spent some time with her. They have a pair of 2 year old sister cats so Jasmine is going to have to get used to them. They have a 6 year old daughter and an 8 month old son....the daughter was beside herself with excitement!

Concats Jasmine!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then.....break out the party hats....it finally happened.

Yep - Licorice was ADOPTED!!!!!

She went home Sunday. After almost 8 months of recovery and waiting, our girl found her forever home. The dad and daughter went looking for a kitten and fell in love with our flirty girl instead. No other animals in the house (except for some goldfish - won't that be fun). They are committed to her diet and everything that comes with adopting a 5 year old cat.

We will be keeping up with the family and will update you as we go along. Mom is thrilled and relieved - and yes, a little sad...but in a good way. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~

So, with space at Petco, mom decided to go with something that seems to be working and picked up another big  boy to put up there.

Meet Disney - long hair orange and white tabby boy about 2 years old. He is super sweet and was neutered when the rescue found him, so had to be owned at one point, but was found wandering the street with no id and no microchip.

When mom saw him at the adoption center, she knew she wanted to take him to Petco. Miss Mona said hallelujah.....apparently he likes to sit by the back door of the adoption center and wait for someone unsuspecting to open the door and then jump out. :)

Disney went up on Saturday. Then on Sunday, mom got a call about an application. And Disney was adopted and went home last night.

NEXT????  MOL

Opt to Adopt - updates

Our boy Killian - was ADOPTED!!!!  In fact, while mom was out of town on Saturday, there were two applications that came in. Since no one could tell mom which came in first, she reviewed them both. Everything checked out but the one lady put that she wanted to declaw him (he is 2 years old) to protect her house. ummm....no

So, Killian went home with a nice couple and will be their only boy. Mom took the other application to the adoption center and is going to have them contact the other family about some cats that we have that are already declawed.

CONCATS Killian!!!!

Mom and the head rescue lady often make the comment that those big boys go fast from the store. Not sure why.....but if it works, go with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still no interest in Jasmine. We just find that very strange....

And now Charlotte is up there looking for her home too:

No word on Licorice yet either..... Come on ladies - work it a little!!!

Opt to Adopt - Killian

Killian is a big headed 2 year old gray tabby boy.

He was rescued from a house where he was abandoned with 3 other cats. One of them was Jasmine from last week.

One other cat is being treated for medical issues and the fourth is feral and will be introduced into a colony. Their owner passed away and they had no where else to go. Jasmine was in pretty good shape and just needed to be spayed.

Killian had some MAJOR fleas and had to be neutered. Mom says he smells "all boy". :)  He cleaned up pretty good and just needs some food into him as he is a little skinny. But he put up really well with mom brushing him and clipping his nails and is super laid back.

We wanted to show you the cage set up at Petco since we keep talking about it.

There are four doors like this one. There are metal litter pans that fit into the floor that separate top from bottom and sliding doors that close side to side (though most cats figure out how to move them). If we need to keep cats separate, we put the pans in and each cat has two sides. 

The nice part is they are right in the front window. As things start getting warmer, the store puts a poster up in the window to block the sun from one side. If you look close in the picture above, you can see the hole in the floor - this allows the cats to go up and down if they are friendly and are allowed to interact (works well when mom takes a litter of kittens up there as it gives them a little more space to run around).

Opt to Adopt - Jasmine

First - apparently our goofus mom published this on Sunday - forgot the change the publish date. duh....so some of you may be seeing this a second time - but this time with pictures of Jasmine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.
