Adopting

Hi Guys,

Thank you all for all the help.

We have welcomed new family member Smokey in our house in Ottawa.
Getting ready to start new phase of our lives 🙂

All of you are most welcome to come and visit us if you are around this area.

Thanks again,
Dhruv & Janki

Just an update for all:

I picked up Billy and Sugar this afternoon and they are now comfortably snoozing in their room designated for them to adjust to life here.

Sugar was a little timid at first and hid under the bed for a few hours.

Billy took to the tower there and climbed up  to the window. He seems very happy there.  He allows me to pet him every time I go in.

Sugar has come out for some food, and was interested in both me and whatever was beyond the door.
She let me pet her a bunch too.  I suspect she will venture out quickly.

Here are some pics of them 🙂

Hi Shelly,

Apologies for not getting in touch sooner, I just wanted to give it enough time with Louie to make sure things were OK.

A few days after we started using the Feliway diffusers, the cats started getting along much better!!
Babs no longer shrieks then hides when they play, and although she still often hisses at Louie, it seems to be part of play.

He’s much more respectful towards her and the play is more mutual, with Babs often chasing Louie.

I’m so glad we had that chat, and I feel so silly for not trying Feliway sooner!!

He’s also very sweet and affectionate with us, and has started napping on my lap already. We love him so much, he’s such a character!

I’m sending along some pics – sorry there’s so many, he’s just so handsome I couldn’t choose which ones were the best!

By the way, we decided to call him the name on his vet records, so he goes by Luigi now 🙂

Babs has also now groomed Luigi but he has yet to return the favour!

They’re currently romping around causing all sorts of mischief right now.
I’m so happy to see Babs enjoying a playmate again.

All the best,
Kate

Atlas, renamed from Cottontail is doing amazing in his new home!

We thought he would dislike us for a while since his first ever experience with us was taking him to THS for preventative care, but it seems as though he doesn’t hold that against us.

He is named after a moon of Saturn, keeping with a Greek celestial theme from our first cat, Pluto.

At first their interactions were extremely playful, almost too much at times with the tackling, but now they seem to tolerate each other enough that separating them at night isn’t necessary!

I’m sure they will grow to be the best of friends overtime, and we are very happy with our new addition to the family!

Hi,

Cordelia is doing really well.
She is super affectionate and loves to hang out with me when I workout in the morning.  I put down a Matt just for her!

She has also taken over my son’s desk chair from university.
She hangs out there a lot!

She is slowly warming up to Bissli.  She’ll sit outside of the gate (he doesn’t have free roaming privilege just yet) and they have touched noses.

Hopefully she will get comfortable with him.
He is a gentle lab and clearly wants to play.
He doesn’t growl at her, he just whimpers a bit bc she won’t come play.

Have a nice long weekend,

Amanda
