Meer Cat

Hello everyone: I just wanted to update you all on Meer Cat aka Sarah. I've attached a couple of pictures that she let me take of her as she lounged on my lap this morning. The first night I brought her home, she was hesitant to leave her carrier but she ventured out, hunkered down underneath a side table and watched me put up my Christmas tree. I talked to her the whole time. When I was done, I sat in my easy chair, with Karen's towel in my lap. Wasn't too long before Meer jumped up into my lap and we had our first cuddle session. She was head butting me and very much enjoying my company, and I was enjoying hers. Something that evening must have spooked her...maybe the sound of the furnace coming on? It's just me in the house so I'm not real sure what did it but she retreated to the back room, my sewing room. About an hour before bed, I started looking for her and couldn't find her. I went to bed, calling out her name so where ever she was, she could hear me. But she stayed hidden all night and in the morning, I was starting to get a little worried. I finally did locate her, so I could breathe a sigh of relief that she hadn't somehow found a way outside. I had read the literature you gave me so I knew to let her be in her safe hiding spot. I petted her and talked to her, even got down on the floor on my belly...and she did venture out of her hiding spot...and head butted me, paced back and forth in my arms as I lay on the floor, at her safe level, and she purred and was happy. I brought her food and water into the sewing room, showed her where the litter box was, then left her alone. Several times during the day, I went into the sewing room and she'd found a new hiding place. I petted her and talked to her but did leave her be. I went to bed and about two hours later, I heard her venturing out of the sewing room, so I talked to her, not really knowing where in my small single wide trailer she was, but happy to hear she was venturing out to explore. It wasn't long before I saw her cute little face at my open bedroom door and, with me talking to her, she hopped up on my bed. And that was that. Total cuddles, in my face, laying on my pillow next to my head, cuddled next to me, loving the pets and kisses. She did hop down every once in awhile so I could get a little sleep but every time she came back, I let her know I was glad to see her. Like a mom with a new baby, I was sleeping light and I was so glad to know she was feeling less stressed, I let her know she was very much welcome. I got up this morning a little early and she followed me around...I had to be careful where I walked because she was right at my feet! I fixed my tea and then sat in my chair, turned on the news and up she hopped to get some more hugs and pets. I will be leaving in an hour and a half for work and she will have the run of the house, all to herself. I know she will do fine. And when I come home, I'll sit in the chair and we can cuddle all over again. Thank you so much for allowing me to provide a home for Meer cat aka Sarah. I'm not sure I will change her name. I'm kind of getting used to Meer cat! Sincerely, Peggy

Chunky Monkey

We decided to rename your little Chunky Monkey to Kai, it means ocean in Hawaiian. He's been doing really well here, we had several indoor accidents on the first day home, but he's been more or less house-trained for the last 48 hours. He's been to the vet on Wednesday and all is well and we started taking him on walks in the neighbourhood, he had some problems at first with the leash but he's doing better every single day. The only thing we still struggle with is the biting but we're trying to train him to be gentle. Mixed results so far! He's definitely changed our lives completely in the last week and we can't thank you enough!

Black lab mix puppy

Hello! We adopted a dog from you a week ago last Saturday at Petco in Mount Vernon. We just wanted you to know that we are grateful to the foster parents who took so much time with "Wilson". For a 10 week old puppy he is doing pleasantly well with his potty training and overall behavior! Wilson is a very good puppy! We have a 13 year old dog and two 12 year old cats, who are still trying to decide what they think, but I think they finally stopped scheming on how to get rid of this youngster, and have decided to tolerate him!!! (He is very good with cats!!) Our old dog will finally let him lay next to her, but Wilson always has to push the boundaries and touch her!! :o) Wilson loves his big yard and every little twig and leaf!!! We are enjoying Wilson immensely!! Thank you again to his foster family!!! Sherry and Kevin D

This is one happy kitty . She has investigated the whole house, found her litter box and food and wallowed all over us, and has started to talk, also non stop purring. Thanks again.... Annie
