Success Stories
Mo (Greta #4)
We adopted Mo (Greta #4) the summer of 2004 and so we're
giving you a good
update now. Mo's doing great and probably has ten nicknames. When you
wake
up she's in your face and meowing because it's chow time. Her sister
Snowball takes wonderful care of her and licks her ears when they lay
together. Together they sneak downstairs and spy on our new dog- they're
not sure whether or not they like her. She's doing good here in Minnesota
even though I think she misses our bigger house back in Massachusetts. Mo
observes tons of birds and squirrels out the window and sits there for
hours. She chases the dog's tail through the door until she gets barked
at and then she has to scamper under the bed again. She is a pretty
scared cat unless you sit still for a couple minutes - then she'll come up
and lick you and lay on you. Mo is a wonderful, playful kitty to have
around the house.
Thanks for Mo and saving the other kitties,

Dumpster
"Dumpster #3" is still Dumpster - the name stuck.
She is doing very well
here. She adjusted very quickly to Manny, our 6 month old kitten, as well
as the two dogs. She is still EXTREMELY affectionate and we love her. I
think she's pretty happy here.
Thankyou!

Peppa (formerly Pepper)
When our beautiful Peapod passed in October 2004, our
sweet Emma, then a 1
year old part Maine Coon, was so sad. She went from a bouncy playmate to
a
sad lost soul. On New Years Day 2005 I made the trip from Newton, MA out
to
Lunenburg. I had been checking out the website for a friend for Emma and
had seen 2-3 possibilities. When I got there 2 of them had been adopted
and
the 3rd was too aggressive for my liking. Then I spotted Pepper. She was
sooo timid but had the sweetest face and a look that pleaded with me not
to
leave without her. We had QUITE a time collecting her but it was well
worth
the challenge. My husband was sure that I had made a colossal error in
judgment but after 2 days of sniffing and yodeling under the door the
girls
finally met face to face. Pepper did her best to flatten herself against
the floor while Emma circled her. Emma must have known how scared Pepper
was because she simply laid down beside her and they slept! They fill our
hearts daily. Emma has always slept curled up behind my knees. Peppa
prefers sleeping on Daddy's pillow, behind his head. She's totally a
Daddy's girl!
Peapod would have loved her too. Thank you for bringing us all together.

Isabella
To the Shelter Staff,
There is such a thing as love at first sight, as I saw it firsthand. :-)
Isabella was waiting by the door of one of your rooms and with her best
smile, she pranced all around Albert's feet (my father-in-law) and of
course, he was goner. I am still amazed at how comfortable she was from
the moment she got to her new home. Isabella had so much fun exploring her
new home, she fell asleep sitting up! Oh how adorable that was. Within one
day, she was making herself comfortable by laying, sitting and sleeping
right next to Albert. She is such a love bug and loves giving kisses, and
oh and let's not forget where he goes, she goes. Another thing I thought
you would enjoy knowing, what a surprise to all of us, that she LOVES
belly rubs. So much so, she will let us know by rolling over and
stretching out when she wants one. Thank you so much for her! You guys do
such a great job. We will never forget the moment the two of them fell in
love with one another.
Most Sincerely
Michelle and Chris Sanderson and Albert Sanderson (Owner)

Jake
(Jacob)
Hello There,
We have been meaning to send this email, but it is the Holidays, and we
have been busy.
Just wanted to let you know that my husband and I adopted Jacob, now
called just Jake, in November, and he is doing great!!!!!! Wanted to say
that we were thrilled to learn that he was a Katrina rescue. It makes him
even more special, knowing that we helped the animals that were also
victims of that horrible ordeal.
He has become a wonderful, loving kitty who loves attention. He doesn't
like to be picked up much, but will sit with us on the couch for hours. He
loves to purr, and loves to eat!
He and his "brother" are still working out their differences, but all in
all get along okay.
Thank you for the continued good work.

Sam and Tiger (Shalimar 1 and
Olive 3)
Just letting you know Shalimar1 now known as Sam and
Olive 3 now known as Tiger are doing vey well. We adopted them in August
and have since taken them to the vet and they both are healthy. We have
put in a pet door that leads out to a large enclosed porch which they love
they now come and go as they please. They have adjusted very well and seem
to be very happy. My husband and I are very happy with our two new
additions and we feel very good about being able to give these two sweet
kitties a very good home.
Thank You
Bob and Sharon Siren
