She is such special addition to our family and I can not even remember what life was like without her!!!!
She's a sweet, gentle, wonderful little cat! We've renamed her "Guinan" after Whoopi Goldberg's character in Star Trek: The Next Generation. She has the right personality! :)
From our first visit with Eleanor it was clear to us that she would fit very well with our family.
Thor, formerly known as Munich has adapted very well to our home and family.
We adopted our lovely kitty in early August and have enjoyed her every moment since she came home.
He has been very cuddly and loving and talkative, and I think his legs have grown longer even since yesterday.
She is a crazy little girl that has energized our whole household.
We are so thankful for everyone who took care of her and got her ready to come to us. I am so happy with her and I know she is going to do just fine. I can’t wait to see her progress in her 2nd week with us. Thank you CDHS, what an incredible thing you do with the animals that come to you!
Angel (formerly known as Fortunata) has been doing well. Enclosed are some pictures of her asleep on our couch and asleep in Gretchen's arms.
They sleep in the same cat bed and will eat their food out of the same dish at the same time. They groom each other and even share their toys with each other. They have brought so much joy to our lives and we feel very lucky to have them.
Dunkaroo celebrated his 1 year birthday on November 2. Dunkaroo had a big birthday party with kids, family, friends and 4 other dogs. He had a great time! His older dog brother Buddy just loves him! They do everything together from eating, playing, sleeping and walking side by side during walks.
Your former ward "Sunflower" is enjoying settling in with me and the other big girls.
She has now divulged to me her true name and it is "Scout."
He is a wonderful companion and such a lap kitty. If he is not in my lap, he is talking to us telling his story.
Jackson’s been home for 3 weeks now and things are going great. He is off leash most of the time and has learned quickly to come, sit, leave it and a few others. We even took a road trip to Grand Forks to see my son and his mini-dacshund Dixie, and that went very well. Here are a few photos. - Emily
Ironically, the animals who have suffered the most at the hands of humans are the ones who are most grateful to the humans who lend them a helping hand. That was the case with Aubrey. We weren't sure there was a chance of saving Aubrey, a young female Tortoiseshell cat.
"I adopted Dutchess and Hillary, two FIV-positive cats, from the Central Dakota Humane Society in 1999.
The biggest surprise I have had so far in caring for these cats is realizing how low maintenance they are. My cats are not on a special diet. They do have to be kept indoors, but I have been an advocate for indoor-only cats for about the past decade. Besides their annual checkups, I suppose Duchess averages a vet visit about twice a year. She gets sick more often and the vet takes a more aggressive approach in treating FIV+ cats. Hillary has been very healthy for the past four years.
"I have the greatest cats ever. I know everyone with a pet always thinks that about their own animal, but I really do. My search for the perfect cats started about a year ago. I was fresh out of college and had just purchased my first home. I was enjoying my time with my pet rabbits, birds and my two dogs, but I felt like something was missing. I missed having a cat. There's nothing like a warm bundle of fur curled up and purring on your lap while you watch TV. Yep, that's what I needed.
