Happy Tails - Success Stories

cat iconClinton

Dear Fancy Cats:

Clinton has been with me for almost 3 weeks. Though he was sad to leave his foster mom, he has become quite comfortable in his forever home and really opened up to me within the first day or so (the cat treats didn’t hurt).

At first he was skeptical about what was going on, but once he realized that he was home he settled right in.

He still loves his whisker city catnip scratchers and is always up for play time! He has grown rather fond of his newest toy the “catfisher” where I cast the line and he follows the catnip bait all around the condo.

We love to lounge around together- he is never far from me and is the best little buddy I could have asked for.

He is constantly striking silly poses and sitting in what I can only describe as yoga positions.

When I get home from work I usually find him keeping my spot on the couch warm for me. He is quite a considerate cat who is full of love and character, and I could not be happier with him.

Thank you, Fancy Cats Rescue Team, for taking care of this sweet boy until I found my way to him!

I've attached [several] photos of him - I love taking his picture! Thank you,
Anna


Letters from adoptive families are often the reason that foster homes find the strength to say good bye to a cat that have long been in their homes and hearts.

This is the letter Clinton's foster family sent to fellow volunteers after receiving Anna's letter.

Dear Fancy Cat Volunteers:

Anna, the nice lady who adopted Clinton was kind enough to send us some more photos of him. I told yall he was hilarious in his poses. She seems to be a lot faster with the camera than I was though.

He seems to be doing so well and I am so so happy for him. I was really concerned he may have got grumpy with her at some point but he seems to be just as in love with her as she is with him.

THIS is what it is all about for me. I love these happy endings. Sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough of them in this world.

Happy endings are the best!


cat iconBuster

Dear Fancy Cats:

Thank you for letting Buster become part of our family. From the moment he came into my apartment he was exploring and enjoying the space to roam around. I think he was very happy to be out of the small box he was in.

He loves to get bellyrubs and is very affectionate. He is eating well but likes to be petted between bites of food. He definitely likes to be around people. My daughter Surah and I are thoroughly enjoying having him here.

I've enclosed two pictures of Buster. The first one shows him relaxing in his new home. The second one shows him playing laser tag with my daughter.

Thank you again for letting us adopt Buster. He will be loved in his new home.
