Thought you'd like these. Mikimoto likes to go under the curtains at dusk and look outside. I was coming into the house and thought he looked soooooo cute. The other picture of his butt is the other half inside the house.  Anyway, hope all is well.

Allie and marty have new nicknames. We call them princess and the  turd. :-) Turd boy has not been up mommy's butt so much and she is not so over  protective. We have started a slow introduction to the rest of the  petting zoo. There is a little hair raising with the other cats but it  is getting better everyday. Now the dogs will take longer. Al is not  happy at all with the dogs and when she gets upset so does marty.  Thank god my dogs are more afraid of cats then vice versa. Not to  worry we already know this is going to take time and guess what, we  have more then enough time. :-)

I wanted to let you know that things are going great. So enjoy your  holiday and give hugs and kisses to the crew.

Pam,

Kylie is beautiful, weighs 9lbs and is such company and fun to be around. She's sort of fussy about her food, she only likes the shredded fish, chicken with salmon and beef. My husband has been in a nursing home 7 months after suffering a severe stroke 11/13/06. Kylie visited him and I think he remembered her. When he comes to the home closer to me, I'll take her to visit again. We had a horrible pinelands fire in May. I was visiting my husband with my son and had left Kylie in the house with all the windows open. They wouldn't let us back until the next night around 7pm. I was hysterical and crying. When I heard her meow, it was music to my ears, I knew she was safe. Kylie and I flew to Florida in Feb. Once we were in the air I put her carrier on the tray table and she looked out the window. Kirby (Kylie's brother) is a character and follows my brother all over. Just thought I'd update you on the 2 kitties.

Pam,

I'm surprised that Gizmo is still with us.....I think it is only because we hand feed her the high calorie food. I'm glad she's still here and glad she is FINALLY getting along with the other cats, but I just can't tell if she is uncomfortable or not. We know she is getting worse because she rarely makes it to the litter box anymore. But we get to see her snuggled with her husband and it is just too cute...

Tracy

Hi Pam,

I was so glad to see Streak got adopted! You know me, I couldn't get that poor cat off my mind after I read the story. I've always wanted an all white cat. And, if I didn't have a full house right now, I probably would have taken her in a heartbeat. Here are some recent photos of Miss Lizzie Butt. She's getting cuter and bigger by the day!

Hi Pam,

Remember me Doreen who was attempting to find a cat to replace my Buckwheat. Well its been about 2 months and Giuseppe ( we call him Zeppe) fits right into the family. The dogs and him all get along perfect. He's loves to hang outside in the backyard with us and doesn't stray at all. I guess I can say Buckwheat sent us a perfect companion. He's reminds me of a very young buckwheat . Cool , laid back , acts like a dog, talkative , loves people even kids BUT since he's only a little over 1 he's very playful, fun and does like to sometimes get himself in trouble (Messing with my birds jumping in the turtle tank, ect). So we and dogs are very happy we stumbled upon Zeppe and I know this cat just loves it here. Here's some picutres of Zeppe and the dogs.

Take Care Doreen and Dave

Hi Pam,

Sorry it took me a few days to get this out to you. This is our cat Charlie. He is about 20 lbs!!!! Not really fat just huge!! We love him to death and he has been a great addition to our family. Thanks.

Pam,

All dressed up and nowhere to go! The pictures are kinda blurry since they wouldn't sit still but thought they looked cute in their new outfit! They all had to walk backwards to try to get it off. Doesn't Wiggins face tell it all???

Some recent pix of maya and soho. i've got 2 roly poly talkative cats now. maya (the alpha) has been teaching soho how to beg for food so they're both overweight now. at least she lets him sleep "near" her now cuz when he was just a kitten and he tried to cuddle in the bed w/ her, she'd hiss and kick him out. soho kept peeking through my blinds, now he broke some off so there's a small window of open space in my blinds. guess i'll have to replace them before i move so i don't lose my security deposit. happy holidays!

Hey Pam
We received our calender this weekend……WE ARE SUCH PROUD PARENTS!! Our Louie made it on the calendar -- I told him he is famous!! I think it has gotten to his head already though! We are sooo proud to see him on there! (well you know what I mean it isn't nice what he had to go through) It is up on our fridge! Also, thank you soooo much for the holiday card it means so much to us!! I showed Ed your address labels they're cute!

Of course these were taken right after "it" was set-up and decorated....see for yourself --
My tagline "oh, you put this up for me?" Oh, yah we bought Louie a reindeer costume from Target - I have to send you the photos of him with the antlers and booties on....
Hope everything is well with you and your babies!

Here's Wiggins.....that's his cute little face begging for a treat! Too bad you can't hear the pathetic little meow that goes along with the face. He taught Fonzie how to do it too and now they are able to get anyone to melt and give in to giving them a treat. Even the manly men get sucked into giving in to them. It's pretty funny how they have us all "trained".

Tracy

Hi Pam,

Thank you so much for taking the time to help us out. Marco should be on his way to recovery thanks to your advice. We’ll keep you posted.

Here are a couple pics of the Sienna and Marco. Marco has the tan ears and Sienna has the white paws..

Lounging in Mom’s purse, on the couch & and the windowsill….

Pam,

Ed surprised me with these. I wanted to set up a backdrop with the pumpkins, mums, etc. Anyway, isn't he cute!! We got the outfit over the weekend when we were in Target. Actually, Ed's grandmother who is 89 spent the weekend with us and she bought the outfit! I just showed my boss the pictures and she oooohd and awwwed how cute he was and how patient he is with the outfit on. He is his momma's and papa's little pumpkin!! (well you haven't seen him in person in a while he is a rolley-poley-oley pumpkin)

Darlene

Hi Pam,

Wiggins and Fonzie are friends but he usually only "cuddles" with Hummer so I thought this was precious!

Hope all is going well.
Tracy

Hi Pam,

Leah says thanks for the catnip toy!!! She's taking a nap now. The "kittie high" is wearing off. hehehehehe

Holly

Hey Pam,

I am liking owning a cat quite a bit. Have grown rather attached to Mercury. Still working out little convenience details (mostly about feeding and litter), and the nuances of whatever allergies I have, but all is well otherwise. He's gotten rather comfortable in the house and will sit at any door that I don't let him through. In the mornings he'll meow at my bedroom door until I come out and feed him (cute once or twice, but something I'll have to get him out the habit of :) ). I did take some pictures, but they aren't very good (mostly of him at rest, or in "ignore my owner" moods). I will work on getting more active ones. We'll have to work on a good time for you to visit him.

Jason

Hi,

Sweets is trying his best to get used to Wuzzy after Buddy died. It seems that they can lay on my bed at the same time without any problem, as you can see from the photo. But there has been a few occasions where I"ve heard hissing and growling, one of the times was when Sweets followed Wuzzy into the bathroom where I keep her litterbox. In due time, I am sure they will be along. I am hoping the tree house that I ordered for them arrives next week - they said 7 days. I am hoping that will give them both more together time to get used to one another. I opened the patio blinds this morning so Wuzzy could look out, it seems to be her spot, she lays on the rug there alot.

Take care....
Lorraine

Hi Pam,

Hope all is going well with you. It seems kind of funny but I can't even wait til Wiggins "birthday"......it's still another month away but this is what the little monster looks like 2 years post surgery. He's spoiled rotten. The bottom picture is his new bed and he really thinks it's just for him. Fonzie tried to get in it one day and Wiggins ran over and beat him over the head.

Tracy

Hello there Pam!

Hope everything is well and you are trying to take it easy! Everything is good with my furbabies…including the biggest baby Louie! He is such a cry baby and the more I talk to him and tell him that he is a cry baby the more he looks up at me and cries! He is so cute!! I have some others pictures I'll have to send you. Thought you would like it. This was taken last week.

Hope all of your babies are well!

Darlene

Hi Pam,

I don't have a recent picture to send you, but wanted to give you a quick update about Charlie and Zeke. We moved across the bridge to PA so they have left their native state. I'm thinking they are about done growing. Charlie (the one with white who didn't like you too much) is pretty big. He's a lot bigger than Zeke and the most amazing loving cat you could meet. He actually wants to be held quite a bit. Zeke is the brainy cat. He gets it. He's really vocal, especially when he's hungry. He knows his name and comes when I call him. He likes to be rubbed, but not held too much. I'd say they have adjusted quite well. I can't imagine not having them. I'll snap a picture soon and send it along to you. Just wanted to send you the new info and let you know they're well.

Tom

Hi Pam!

Here are a few photos that I resized (finally) so they would go through the email system. I loved your photos of your fur/(less) babies!! Wow, you keep them so happy....

Well, here is the big ham!! I'm going to take a few posed shots of him to send in to some magazines etc., contests. My Louie is adorable!

Oh, yah, he is up to going in the box about 2-3x's a week now!...slowly but surely.

Enjoy!

Ed

Hi Pam,

How are things going?  We seem to be in a vacation rut....are desperate to go somewhere, but either can't decide where to go or for how long I can go without seeing the fur kids.  They are all such a trip!  Fonzie either got beat up or he scratched himself, but I feel bad for him because he lost a bit of hair just around his eye.  I'd be surprised if any of the other "kids" could actually get the better of him!  He's still purring though.

Tracy

Dear Pam

Here is a picture of Romeo, in his new home. He is still having issues adjusting, but overall he seems to be doing well.

Hi Pam!

I was looking through your website and saw the stories posted.  I figured I'd drop you a line and let you know that Phoebe is doing GREAT!  I've had her for almost 2 years now.  I can't believe it!  I love her to pieces and don't know how I ever lived without her.  This picture is of her sleeping in her usual spot...on my pillow =) 

~Sherri

Pam,

The girls are doing GREAT!  as you can see from the photo, they settled into our new home very nicely.

Take care,
Jill

Hi Pam

Here is a photo of Tiggy in his new home.  He is adjusting very well.  He is coming out of his shell running all around the house playing with the other cats.  He is such a
sweetheart, I love him soooo much. 

Hope all is well.

Cindy

Pam,

Just wanted to send you some pics of Quincy and his Pug "Brother" Ralph. His "Sister" Joplin wasn't feeling up to photos that day!

Kenny & Andrea

Hi Pam,

I finally got a good picture of Fonzie (black DSH)....he normally isn't very photogenic.  Below him is Gizmo(brown tabby)....see the Q-tip on the floor?  Well Hummer(orange tabby) LOVES Q-tips so we find Q-tips all over the house.  He takes them out of the trash--if he only knew how disgusting that was.  And I never can understand their fascination with ladders.  Hummer was climbing the ladder before Mark even had it open.  Then they all play king of the mountain.  Wiggins (beige & white one eyed kitty) won today.

Tracy

THE LETTER BELOW IS PROOF THAT LEUKEMIA POSITIVE CATS DESERVE A CHANCE AT LIFE TOO!!!!  LOOK HOW WONDERFUL THEY ALL LOOK.  THANKFULLY, THEY ARE ALL DOING WELL.

Hi Pam!

I wanted to share photos with you of ALL 7 of my leukemia positive cats.  Katie~girl, the cat my family adopted from your organization is doing wonderful!  She has a great appetite (as you can see from the photo with her tongue sticking out).  The other two leukemia positive kitties that I adopted through your organization, Autumn(the torti) and Misty (the muted torti) are also doing wonderful.  As well as the other leukemia cats I adopted through other shelters: Baby~bop (muted torti & white), Tiger (orange & white) and then my two personal cats Penny Lane (Tabby with white) & Tux (black & white). Sadly, Penny Lane's brother Shawdow passed away a couple months ago.  The leukemia virus finally got the best of him :-(

Blessings!

Here is "Kringley-Butt". He was found on Christmas Eve 2004, hence his name, "Kringle". He was adopted by his family Christine and Justin Chew in May 2005 from Saved Whiskers Rescue Organization. Pictured is Kringle with Justin giving his "I'm very annoyed..." look.  Kringle weighs approximately 25 pounds and is a healthy FIV positive kitty.  Here is some quick facts on this misunderstood disease.  FIV is a slow virus that affects a cat's immune system over a period of years. FIV is a cat-only disease and cannot be spread to humans or other non-felines. FIV positive cats most often live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all. FIV is not easily passed between cats. It CANNOT be spread casually - like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens. The FIV virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.) A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced.  FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, keep and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise. FIV positive cats can live a long, healthy life. All he or she needs is someone to give him a chance.
