Kiki bonded to me before the end of the first day; so we bailed on the crating for a week, and all of that. He loved his nice new bed and never looked back. I ended up getting horribly sick the very day we got him and spent the first night in the ER, and when I came home he was my constant companion, sitting with me outdoors in the garden with our bulldog. He and Samantha (the other cat) took about a week, and now they're quite friendly, certainly no hissing or anything like that, but the love affair is between me and Kiki and Kiki and Norman the Bulldog. They spend HOURS in our enclosed garden, whenever I'm not home. Our children LOVE him, and he is fabulous with them. He has been the topic of every school project and picture. In the morning I let him out from downstairs and he leaves Samantha alone and joins the hustle bustle. I have a tea, he enjoys one slice of organic chicken meat that I'm making for lunch boxes, then we go room to room and wake up the kids. He LOVES a good cuddle, so several times a day that has to happen. But I think he loves the action of our house, and I think he REALLY loves the very safe and secure garden environment with all the flowers, trees and birds (without any of the danger). So, I've fallen in love with a 13 year old cat, he's heaven. He's the most intelligent, sweet natured animal I've ever met. We're trying to give him the life of a king! Thank you so much, it was a great match-up. Hope all is well! – Liz A.
Have a great weekend! :)
That's what any volunteer wants to hear after the adoption! The animal is fitting in well, and both the animal and the humans are getting along beautifully. It's mighty satisfying...

That's such a great story and a happy ending for Kiki. I usually think how lucky the adopted cat is to find such a great home, but in this case I'm thinking the new family is even luckier, because after knowing Kiki from the shelter I am SOOOOO jealous they got to adopt him. He was always a total sweetheart with a great personality and and so lovable and cuddly. I'm glad he found such a loving, happy home.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Kiki found a great family! It was worth the wait for him.
ReplyDeleteaww... that's so great! it sounds like kiki is living the life every kitty deserves! congratulations to kiki and his new wonderful family. what a lucky boy!

ReplyDeleteOh, what a wonderful story! We love happy endings. Well, this isn't the end of Kiki's story, but it's the end of Kiki needing a new home.
ReplyDeleteThis has made our weekend! We hope all of our foster kittens and all of the homeless pets in the world could have a life as good as Kiki!
ReplyDeleteWow - you gotta love stories like this.....
ReplyDeleteThat is so great. It is so nice to have a good story. He sure looks happy. Glad he found such a loving home. You sure do a good job at finding homes for these kitty cats.

Im so glad you found Kiki a home. It sounds like a very nice home too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment about Marley. That is one little hoot of a cat. He makes me laugh everday. He's new antics that are going on now is he loves to corner as in sit in the doorway so the other kitties have to walk by him. Most times they are having to run around him to get by. I've never been around a cat with such personility. Hes full of it. I try and put more pics of him up soon.
Hope all is well with you.
