Adoption Diaries: Sweet Success

Elyse's Adoption Diary:

Strike up the band! My girl Whitney was adopted yesterday! I've mentioned her here a few times now. I probably shouldn't play favorites, but I couldn't help it with her. As soon as I heard her purr for the first time--it was the loudest purr I'd ever heard--I was hooked. I looked forward to visiting her every week, and now that she's gone, I'll miss the heck out of her. Ironically, I found out she now lives in an apartment just four blocks from mine! But I was specifically told, "No stalking the adopted animals, Elyse." Darn! I'll have to settle for the happy thought that she's powering her new home with that motor of hers. Thinking about it makes me smile.

If that news isn't enough for ya, I've got more. Jazzy Joyce, a 10-year-old Norwegian Forest, was here since March of 2006. It was difficult to find a home for her, because not only is she a senior, but she requires thyroid treatment and careful handling. Happily, an experienced cat owner met Jazzy and they were a perfect match! Our whole staff is misty eyed over this adoption.

Well, as much as I love success stories, let's get down to business. I want to see more adoptions, so here goes! These guys reside together in one of our cat habitats:

They are Ramon, Gustavo and Jonah. Give these playful kittens a toy and life is good! But watch out for Jonah, he's a smart one. If you try to hold a toy out of reach, he will find a way to get to it.
