It's been a challenging week for PFA with two failed adoptions and cats coming back to us after lengthy stays in adoptive homes, and the struggle to find enough foster homes to house all the needy cats on our radar screen.
However, there are lots of successes to celebrate as well! Here are just a few that warm our hearts:
- Little Sammie - this tiny kitten was rescued all alone trying to fend for herself on the mean streets of North Central. Lucky for her, her rescuer - one of our dedicated feral team feeders, decided to foster her and quickly fell in love and adopted Sammie (black and white kitten).
- Muggins - Muggins is an adorable fluff-ball who was rescued with his mama, Molly, and littermates last summer from an abandoned warehouse. Poor Molly was bearing many wounds from defending her litter, but she kept them safe and all the kittens found loving homes. Muggins turned out to be a real little character, according to his new family. "He's a feisty little trouble-maker but that's definitely part of his charm. He has one huge personality. He's certainly spoiled rotten by our other two cats. Whenever he wants a bath, he'll walk right up to either of them and just stick his head right in their faces. He's got it pretty good around here. When he's having what we call "Being-good-o'clock" (One of the few times during the day he's not running around wreaking havoc), he couldn't possibly be more affectionate. still has a purr that could wake the whole household. Super affectionate, cuddly, such a sweetheart. It's funny, he's become a big packrat too. It's hilarious -- we got them a kitty house/tower thing, and in the house on the bottom, whatever he thinks is "his stuff" he pulls into the house. Such a wide variety of things too... Underpants, books, paper bags. He's taken quite a liking to bread products as well. God help us if we leave a loaf of bread or a bag of muffins on the counter... cuz they will officially be his stuff. Ha ha. And he's smart! If his water bowl is getting low, he scratches at it and makes lots of noise, and if we're not on it immediately... he's off to the kitchen sink scratching in there, and believe it or not... batting at the lever that turns the water on! Sounds like little Muggins/Alan did pretty awesome with his forever home! (fluffy black)
- Sinatra - this gorgeous girl was adopted in the fall of 2008 by a wonderful cat-loving and cat-rescuing couple! Jenn and Scott have not only rescued and adopted a number of strays in their neighbourhood, they also have their own feral colony and they foster kittens and cats for PFA! Sinatra is a PFA rescue that they adopted for their own, and she is thriving in her loving forever home. (solid white).
