| Please read about our foster cats who have found loving, permanent homes. | |
|---|---|
| As you can see from the pictures, the cats now have free reign over the house and have adjusted very well. They no longer run at the first site of people, and Rocky will purr ANYTIME you touch her. Spooky has a favorite toy mouse that he struts around the house with. He is a total ham and loves attention. Rocky has some less subtle ways to get her one on one time...when my alarm goes off, she waits for me to turn it off and then firmly plants herself on my chest and immediately puts on her cute face and starts purring. They are a ton of fun and they are such sweet cats. I am so glad that they have deemed me worthy of their love and their funny antics. I think because Spooky was a special case that his change has been so impressive and want to share it with all of you. He is my greeter kitty...anytime anyone comes in he comes up to introduce himself...not everyone can touch him, but he makes his presence known by meowing LOUDLY to all who will listen. If I come in the house all I have to do is say "can I pet you" and he drops at my feet to get some attention. Again, total ham. |

I finally have some pictures to show you of Wilma.
She is doing so well. As you can tell, Wilma is fully grown and very healthy. She plays a lot of the time and loves to hang out with both Karen and I (and, of course, Mr. Muldoon). With the warmer weather, she is loving the bird TV (our wetland!). She also loves being with Karen when she if fixing meals, though we try to refrain from giving her any "people food."
We are a very happy household! We are very grateful for bringing Wilma into our home. |

The kitties are doing great. The have adjusted to their new home and are doing well. Thanks for taking such good care of them.
I attached a couple of pictures but its hard to get them when they are always playing :) |
|
The girls are just wonderful!
They fit into the family right away. Gracie (Parson) has become daddies little girl! Finally he has a kitty that snuggles with him! Basil was my boy and I miss him terribly, but the girls have filled in the sadness. We love them all so much!
They are all very special members of our family! |

Stripes-Polka Dots has been renamed "Princess," since she certainly acts like one!
She gets along great with her big brother Albie--they pal around and play together, although Albie likes to eat Princess' food...
Princess has been growing like a weed and continues to be healthy and lively.
Attached is a photo of Princess with her big brother. |

The kitties are doing great....
and their kitty antics are still going on but we love it. They run our household so they adjusted really well. I have enclosed photos!
Thank you! |
| Luna is great! She adjusted to our home quickly and she keeps us constantly entertained. She'll play with just about anything, but she especially loves to play fetch (yes, a cat that plays fetch). She tries to meow/purr when she runs, but she ends up sounding like a turkey - we love it! She likes to be wherever we are, so we usually have either a 'shadow' or a lap cat. We definitely got what we were hoping for in a new pet! |

Hi Annette,
Thank you for writing to me about "Mike" Formally known as Angelo Gato. I am happy to report he is very loved, happy and spoiled. He is a great cat and we love him very much.
Thanks, Jessie |

Dear For Cat's Sake Rescue and Jackie - We are very happy to update you on "Linus." The first change is that while we intended to keep his name, we found after a few short days his personality was much "larger" than the name Linus. So we named him Loki for the Norse God of Mischief. He is all teenager and shows his mischievious boyish ways ALL the tme. Our other cat, Chance is a 13 year old Abyssinian rescue with no teeth and who is deaf. Loki is food dominant over him (I have never seen a kitten eat so much - and he is not getting fat) and plays fairly aggressively. But there are no real cat fights - just agressive "teenager" play, so we believe he will grow out of it. So we feed them separately and provide Chance "quiet time" each day. Loki IS really growing; we think he has Maine Coon in him based on his fur, markings and behaviors - he LOVES water. He will come racing from wherever he is when you turn on the faucet. Hopefully you can tell from the pic that he is loved AND spoiled. We have rescued a number of older cats over the years including our Abby, so having a kitten in the house is so much fun. Thanks from Loki's Mom & Dad; Kim & Barney! (Adopted February 2010) |

"The kids" are doing just grand - happy, healthy, and pretty spoiled. They had their first encounter with little kids last weekend - my niece and her 2 year old and 5 year old came to visit - and I was very proud that both of the kitties behaved very well and were extremely social. Batman (now known as Quarter or "Q") greets me at the door every afternoon when I get home from work. And just last night, I was having trouble turning my mind off enough to sleep, until Godiva curled up on my chest and purred me to sleep at 12:30am. Which was wonderful, until 4:00am when she also decided she needed a bath, and apparently I did too... Kitty tongue on the neck... Yikes! That will wake you up fast! Thanks for checking on them. Bonita |
Chloe (we changed her name) and Smokey are doing fantastically! It took them a few weeks to take to each other, but they are good pals now. Chloe keeps Smokey on his toes, as she loves to jump on him and play with him every chance she gets. Chloe is also not limping as much and is often walking on all fours.
We love having them with us and it seems much longer than 2 months. They are completely part of our family now and we adore them. Thanks for checking in!

| Vinny is doing great. He's a great family addition. When he was originally described as aloof I didn't think he would truly live up to it....well he does. He's like a little space cadet sometimes but it's cute and funny. The boys love him and he gets along real well with them. They all run around and play together. Thanks again!! We love Vinny very much...even though he's constantly knocking things down and walking over the computer's keyboard (well we're typing) :D Maura |

FCS,
The girls are certainly still full of kitten antics. Lydia loves to pat people on the head as they go down the winding stairwell! Jackie is more shy, but has warmed up nicely to us. They both love to cuddle. Here is one of about 200 photos of the little darlin's.

Wyatt has been a wonderful addition to our household. The introduction period went very smoothly and within 3 days Bob and Wyatt were already running around together and playing with one another. Frankly the two cats are inseparable! As I write this email, I am fairly confident upon my return home, both will be sitting at the door waiting for me. We did have one minor problem with Wyatt chewing on electrical cables, cords, or wires when we first got him. This has been fixed with some small behavioral modifications and now both Wyatt and our home are safe. Wyatt has even learned to take a bath every week, and seems to like the water so much that during the week I often find him playing in the cat waterer we have in the kitchen. We can’t thank you enough for bringing Wyatt into our home and our hearts.
Thanks again for everything!

| Hi everyone- I just wanted to pass on a few pictures of the cats. They are doing really well. Curious about the new surroundings. They have definitely decided that I am okay. They love to play with a fleece streamer. Spooky sleeps in the bed with me at night. Rocky sleeps on the foot of the bed. Sometimes they sleep in the rocking chair, too. Kristi |
|
| Hi FCS,
Sorry it's been awhile since you sent this but it's been really busy around here. Furby is doing great. She and Coco play all the time and have lots of fun. They sleep on our bed together quite often too. She loves to follow us around the house and has finally learned that if she gets underfoot she will get stepped on. The only thing that we are having to retrain her on is getting her nails cut. She hates having them done and we always have to put her in a towel to do it. We love having Furby here and she is really doing well.

| Good Afternoon, Violet is doing very well and we are absolutely delighted to have her as part of our household. She and my other cat seem to be getting along as well -- they still love to chase each other around the house, but both end up sleeping on my lap together once they have tired themselves out! Violet is also getting so big! I took her in about 2 weeks ago to get her last shots and she was about 4.5 lbs and I am positive that she has gained weight since then. Best, Kimberly (Adopted Jan 2010) |

Dear FCS,
The boys are doing great. I can’t remember what it’s like without them. Every day as I drive up to the house after work I see them curled up next to each other on top of the chair in front of the living room window and it always makes me smile. My favorite moments in the past few months have been watching TV while curled up on the couch with my husband and having the kitties crawl up and fall asleep on top of us. They also have their kitty antics J I swear we go through a pack of toy mice ever two weeks! Their favorite game is batting the mice underneath the coffee table so we have to dig them out. They also love chasing string we drag around. I’m surprised at how well they handle strangers, They are not the least bit bashful when we have company. And if you throw a toy mouse for them and they’re your friend forever (or at least the next five minutes anyways). We renamed them Fred and George after the redheaded Wesely brothers in the Harry Potter books (we couldn’t think of any other famous male redheads). Bonnie |
Dear FCS,
This email and photo are way overdue but time flies when you’re having fun, fun, fun! Here is a picture of Sally (Melanie when you had her) with her sister Lena . Sally is really doing great and what a great idea to get 2 kittens. Sally is fearless and a ball of energy. She plays fetch with me for about 45 minutes every night in our living room. When she isn’t running & jumping with her sister Lena , she is following me around. She sleeps with a part of her touching a part of me all night. She has a friendly and outgoing personality and is the first to greet company into our home. She and her sister are great friends and wonderful companions to my husband and me in our “empty nest” years.
Thanks for all you do, |

The kitties are doing just great and growing well. They are renamed Charlie Hustle (female) and Bilbo Baggins (male) and I don't have too many pictures because they are always on the move and in two different places, but here is one of the both of them.

Hi,
Daisy (Sassy Pants) is doing really good. She knows who her mom is and loves to sit on my lap and give kisses. Daisy and Lia (our other cat) are doing better together. They like to chase each other around the house and steal each others toys. Here is a picture of Daisy. She took a great liking to a stuffed dog of ours, his name is Root beer. Daisy likes to sleep on top of Rootbeer.

Mia is such an active cat that we consider her our little 7 pound ball of energy. She is constantly running up and down the hallway from the living room to the bedroom and back, only to pounce on a toy mouse or jump into an empty clothes basket. She is a great cat and we are so happy to have her. Recently, Mia has started to sleep in our bed for part of the night. So, now we have a bed full of cats at night; Mia at the top and Belle at the bottom. We’ll never need an electric blanket again. Mia has even taught Belle how to get up on the ledge in the family room so that she can get between the curtains and the windows and look outside. Thank you again for giving us another wonderful cat.

Dear FCS, Roz is doing fantastic in her new home. She is healthy and happy with a little bit of spoiled thrown in.
We have recently saved another cat named Dawson. The two were slow to warm up to each other, but now Dawson likes to spend his time cleaning Roz and treating her like the queen of the house. |

So good to hear from you. I can't believe i've had these boys a couple months already. They're doing fine. Thank you for helping me with nail clipping. Cheech (finch) got his clipped when i took him to the vet for his limping. I coaxed him into the carrier with treats a few days before the vet and it worked! Now i'm giving him anti-inflammatories. I'm pretty sure they are liking it here...they make themselves very comfortable...wherever they want :o)....still a little skiddish but there is a BIG improvement...
Thanks for all your help & communications.....have a joyous holiday and a good 2010! |

Hi FCS, I want to thank your organization for all the energy you put into saving and caring for these cats and kittens. Thanks to you, Gia has found a home with me and doesn't have to worry about fending for herself and her kittens as a stray anymore. -- Amy |

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful addition to our family. We LOVE our Maximus (Joey when he was with you). He is a very playful, loving kitten. He had his 1st vet check up and passed with flying colors. Max is getting along wonderful with Morgan our 14 year old dog and with Sessa Bella our 3 year old cat. It took a while for Bella to really accept Max. It has been two months now and they get along fine. I took a photo this morning of Bella grooming Max. He only lays quietly for a very short time, then he thinks its time to turn the loving moment into a wrestling match. Thank you again for a great family member. We call Max our little Lion King. I have attached two photos, one of Bella grooming Maximus and the other is Maximus. Sincerely, Janet and Perry |
| Hi There, Wilbur and I are doing great and I would consider his adoption a great success. He is such a cutie and really has come out of his shell. I kept his name the same because he was used to it and he actually looks like a Wilbur. He has become my furry alarm clock and likes to run and hide in every room of the house. Sincerely, Phyllis |

Dear FSC Rescue, I would say that this is indeed a successful adoption. We did change his name to "Charlie" he reminds us of Charlie Chaplin with his coloring. He seems to be very happy here and it's fun to watch his playfulness. I must say, I've never seen a cat eat like this guy, what an appitite! |
| Dear For Cat's Sake Rescue, Cammie is doing wonderful! We love her tremendously and so does her house mate Frisco. She is growing so fast and is very pretty. Her colors are just beautiful. I thank you so much for saving her life, and giving me the opportunity to give her a great life. I'm just not sure who is getting the better life her or I. And yes she has a new name, it's Seren like in Serendipity. Our meeting her was very Serendipity and meant to be. Seren is perfect even with the trials of a kitten. She has made my life very happy. I will promote your organization any chance I can. Thank you again. Sincerely, Camille Veltri |

| Dear For Cat's Sake: Our kitty is named Arwen, for the Elf princess in "Lord of the Rings". We have also adopted her brother, Winston, so she wouldn't be lonely. They are very happy together and love to wrestle. Though she's much smaller, Arwen is usually the "winner". They are both very affectionate and love to cuddle. We get "stereo" purring from them. They are growing fast! Sandra |

?Hi, Annette. We just love Lucy; I wanted to change her name to Trouble (after reading the description of her on your website) or Milkshake, but the kids wouldn't have it. She has become a member of the family....she's added lots of laughs and sunshine to our household. She's an affectionate kitty, acts more like a dog than a cat. She's really sweet, always looking for an adventure and very beautiful, too. She loves the girls a lot, follows them around the house constantly and likes playing with all of their little toys. One quirky thing Lucy does is that she jumps into a doll high chair when she is hungry....then I know I need to get out the canned food. (My oldest daughter would put her in there while I got out her canned food at first and now she does it on her own). I'll send you a picture of this directly after this email, I don't know how to attach it directly to this note. In summary, it's been a great experience having Lucy in the house---it gave the the girls some responsibility and made life a lot more interesting around here. Thanks a bunch for this wonderful addition to our family, Anne, Dave, Nicole and Kendra |

Hi FCS Rescue! Pearl is getting along beautifully in our home. We have changed her name to Echo, as she is often a little shadow following us from room to room, answering our questions to her. She is especially vocal when she knows dinner is coming! She has lots of toys and loves to play. She now comes to us more frequently for a pat or a scratch. She loves being brushed and sitting in any and all window sills to watch the crickets and falling leaves. Her grandpa even built her a kitty tower so she can look out the window more easily! She is very curious and has found many places in the house where she can hide from the dog. Echo has decided it is great fun to play with the plastic hair catcher in the bath tub. We often find it in various rooms every few days. She can even get in to the tub to retrieve it when the door is only open 3 inches! Thanks for checking up on her! I admire what you do for FCS! ..;´¨) ¸.·´¸.·*´) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·´ (¸.·´Toni* |
| Hello, Wow, it seems like much longer than 3 months since I adopted Rai! I REALLY wanted to write you & especially Moon Dancer sooner, but I don't have any pictures of Rai yet, so I will follow-up with you when I do. First of all, he is the best cat EVER. He did hide for about the first week that he was home, and at first I was a little worried about that, but then he started coming out and hanging out with me. We are definitely best friends now :) I did keep his name, but I added a middle name, so his full name is Rai Anthony. His quirkiest habit is that he likes to sit on my shoulder (and he licks my face :P ), and if I'm laying down, he likes to lay between my neck and my shoulder. He is still kinda small, but he has definitely grown a lot. I will send you a picture soon. At first he would never hold still long enough to get a good picture, but now that he's a little older I will try it again. Thanks so much for the beautiful pet. He follows me everywhere I go and he's very vocal. Definitely the best decision to bring him home! Thanks again, Jessica |

Fitz and Figaro are now Figaro and Pongo – if you can keep that straight! Pongo’s full name is Pongo Twistleton from a character in a book. They love to sprawl in the middle of the floor with the dogs and sleep. They also love the shower, the bath and anything with water. Figaro (who was Fitz) is the littler guy and he loves to sleep on shoes, sometimes with his head or feet tucked inside. Pongo is a great big boy – very sturdy. They both have beautiful coats and huge big thick tails. We love them as do their dog siblings. My daughter is going to school in Brazil and we send her updates about them all the time – she fears they will be all grown up by the time she gets home – I think she is right. However, their kitten playfulness is still in full swing. Thanks for asking, Melanie |

Hi there! I feel bad that we haven't given you an update sooner. We did rename Blaze because she's such a pretty little lioness-looking cat that we switched it to Nala. She is the best little girl kitty we have ever had and just a total sweetheart. I think the fact that she was raised with such a nice foster family contributed to her friendly and charming personality. Everyone just melts when they meet her. Our two boy cats have really taken a fancy to her and love to trade off giving her baths. The three of them love to run and play and though we've had pairs of them snuggle, we're still waiting for a big three-cat snuggle come colder weather. :) We were very happy before with just our two kitties, but Nala has just made it all the better. We all love her very much! One funny story about her is that she found a moose stuffed animal somewhere in our house (we didn't even know we owned it!) and loves to drag it around the house and wrestle with it, even though it is the same size as her! She cracks us up with it. I have included a picture of that as well. Thanks for checking in and for running such a wonderful organization. My heart goes out to all the other little kitties in need of homes, but I know they're in good hands with For Cat's Sake. Thank you for a wonderful adoption and an amazing addition to our family. All the best, Caley and Ryan (and Stewey, Junior and Nala) |
Chloe has retained her name and is universally considered a wonderful addition to my family by my sons, their girlfriends, and my ex-wife (who REALLY wanted to have Chloe….). She is wonderful to hold and pet on your shoulder, and she loves to play (at 4 years old!). She does yowl pretty loud when, um, under the influence of catnip, so a wise person does not leave it where she can find it at 3 AM. Similarly she will meow insistently outside my bedroom door at what SHE thinks is breakfast time (oh, 4 AM), so that’s what the office is for (with its own litter box and water bowl). She and my existing 8-year-old cat Alice aren’t best buddies yet (well, Chloe WANTS to be), but they get along and do not have any conflict issues. Chloe gets the lion’s share of the attention because she is pretty insistent. I’m guessing that she has some abandonment issues, so I make a point of reminding her that yes I’m still here when I come home every day.
Overall I cannot BELIEVE that nobody adopted her for TWO YEARS!! She is a great cat. Thanks for your help in adopting her.
Attached are several pictures of Chloe in her new home (some already sent to Tammy).
Regards,
Bill |

Hello, FCS, Thank you for your follow up email. We are happy to inform you that Freddy (aka Camaro) is doing great in his new home. He is a super sweet cat! He loves to cuddle and play with his younger brother Willy. Willy and Freddy are the best of buddies. They spend the days cuddling, wrestling, and licking each other. He certainly has a bottomless pit for a stomach. When it comes close to feeding time ('close' may be an understatement...sometimes 2-3 hours before), he will meow and meow for food. We are not sure if this has something to do with his upbringing as a kittie, but it seems like he feels he needs to remind us to feed him. In this way, there seems to be high anxiety about whether or not he will be fed. I'm not sure if you can shed any light on this behavior, but we are doing our best to make the process as calm as possible. Otherwise, he is a wonderful cat and we are very happy to have him as part of our family. Thank you, Sam and Melissa. |
| We now call Corvette Corey. He has fit in with our family very well, it seems like we have had him for a lot longer than three months. It took our first cat Alice a little while to get used to Corey, but he took to her right away. Now the two spend all their time together. They love to chase each other around the house and up our cat tree. Corey is such a loving cat whenever you call him he comes and he is just content to sit by you and be petted. He loves being around us a little too much at times...he sleeps on Brian's head! Corey also is very cute because he never lays down, he just plops down. He always walks around with the little white end of his tail curled to one side so it looks like an ornament. We absolutely love Corey and are so happy to have him! ~Brian and Nicki |

To all who helped rescue Mama, Noir and Onyx! All the cats have adjusted well to their new home and us, developed their own unique routines. They also have received new names. Mama became Mocha as she is attracted to coffee and always wants to put her nose in it, even after she learned that is was hot. She also is a water cat as she likes anything to do with water and plays with a slow running stream of tap water every morning. Onyx became Stiches as she decided to rip out her sutures and take us on a trip to the pet emergency hospital in Glendale one Friday night. She is the initiator of many mischievous games. And she loves to talk to tell us she is in her high perch or is going to the litter box. Noir became Wheezer as she still sport an upper respiratory challenge. She is the most agile, fasted and best stalker of the three, small but mighty. At times we call her double trouble. The kittens play hard every day and run laps through the house. They like to visit our laps and watch TV. Sometimes they sleep with us but always are punctual to wake us up for breakfast. Mocha enjoys to explore and otherwise hag out in her favorite chair and keep a watchful eye on her kittens. She still looks out for her kittens making sure they get their daily wash up and naps. Thank you, to all who were involved in bringing this family back to good health and helping them to find our home. |
| Hello, Thanks for taking the time to do a follow up on Mena. She is doing fine. She is a wonderful and sweet cat. She is just now comming out of her shell and it seem like it took an enternity. My family and I are very patient with Mena and understand that this was a big transistion for her and she still needs more time to adjust. she does come out of her hiding spot and demands affections. But as soon as she feels anything or any one she doenst reconize she goes back into hiding.. But like i said we understand and do not try to force or pressure her to come out cuz she does on her on. To sum it up Mena is doing fine. We love and accept her as our newest addition to the family. -BRIANA |
|
| Moose (we love his name) is doing very well. He settled in quickly, picked out his favorite toys and gave each of our other cats a kiss on the head as he walked by to say hello. We absolutely adore him! It turns out we use the same vet he had already been going to so his check up was a piece of cake. Chris and I along with Bindy and Mackie love spending time and cuddling with him. It's not unusual to find all five of us on the couch after a long day :0) He made the perfect addition to our family. I included a couple of pictures for you to share. Thanks again for all of your help and of course for Moose! Jade and Chris |

| Good evening, Gibson, who I've re-named Endo, has been a very welcome addition to the family. He and Lulu, my first cat, could barely stand to be separated by a door for the first 24 hours. They are a perfect match because they are both young, curious, and easy-going. They became friends very quickly, and spend a lot of time chasing each other around the apartment. Endo is a bit of a trouble-maker, but he's also endlessly entertaining and very snuggly. I changed his name to Endo because that is his signature move, he does lots of summersaults! My favorite quirky habit of his is that he likes to hang out in the bathroom sink whenever he gets the chance. Thanks for sending him my way, Abby |

The cats are very happy! They both follow me around a lot, especially Tommy. I just moved to a bigger apartment so they have lots of room to move around. All of my friends who come over think they are the sweetest cats ever, which I cannot help but agree. I think their favorite part about being in my life is my heated mattress pad...in fact they hog it so I can't get most of the heat:) | |
