Three is definitely not a crowd with these guys. We’re thrilled that Padron, Pimen, and Pequin went to their forever home together.

Their adopter said, “I felt strongly from the beginning.  I said we have the space. We have the hearts.”  Wow!

Dear MEOW,

It’s been a little while since I contacted you.   It’s me, Stella Bella.  My mum and dad adopted me in 2016.  I was a former homeless mother of five who won the kitty lottery.

My mum and dad love me so much and I love them. My heart was broken when my wonderful dad died suddenly in October 2020.  I miss him so much and every night I kiss his photo before I go to bed.

You see I have not written because I have been so busy taking care of my mum.  I heard mum talking to her best friend and she told her that I, Stella Bella kept her going after dad died.   That makes me feel so important, and to think some people don’t realize just how important kitties are.

So I take care of mum and she takes wonderful care of ME.  I have a little cat cart and she takes me for walks.   I LOVE seeing the other people.   She feeds me the best and most delicious food and she bought me a water fountain and fresh wheat grass and treats.   She’s a pretty good mum, BUT she probably could do more for me.  For example, vacuum me more than once a day and more massages and pawdicures…

Next month we go to see Dr. Van Winkle for my yearly check up.  He is a really good guy and even gets down on the floor with me. I think that I will keep him!

I sure hope that all you wonderful people at MEOW are doing well. I am so grateful to you for helping me when I needed it.  And thank you for helping all the other kitties and dogs too.

In closing, I am including a very recent photo of me.  I  am EIGHT years old now, but I actually act as though I am eight months.

With love and such gratitude!!
Stella Bella and of course, her mum, Gail

PS:  Yes that is a photo of ME in my dryer!

This is a quick note about our beautiful Stella Bella. We absolutely adore her and she has healed our broken hearts. She is going to write a more detailed update but she has been super busy relaxing in front of the fireplace. Here’s a photo of her on her fav chair. As you can see she is quite busy. Thank YOU MEOW and Nydia.

We adopted these beautiful sisters Bailey & Brooks (formerly Frost and Autumn) in February 2024.  

Thank you to Meow Rescue for bringing these girls into our lives.  They have brought us so much joy and happiness.

I adopted Bonnie and Clyde on December 1, 2023.  I had initially met them in early September, and it was “love at first sight”.  However, I was not yet ready to adopt due to circumstances at the time.  I was broken hearted but happy for Bonnie and Clyde when they were adopted in mid-September.

A couple of months went by and I was now in a position to adopt.  I learned at that time that Bonnie and Clyde were once again available for adoption.  It was meant to be!

Initially living in “their” room due to their shyness, they have now adjusted so well that they have the run of the house.   They love laser pointers, wand toys, and chasing each other around the house.   Bonnie “hunts” toy mice and presents them to me.  She and Clyde are very devoted to each other and are never far apart.

I decided that a “happy ending” would be when they felt safe and secure in my house and chose to spend time with me.   They have now started spending time with me in my study on work at home days and sometimes sleep with me at night.

Thank you for rescuing these beautiful, delightful cats.   They light up the house.

I adopted Meg and Amy-Kat from MEOW in summer of 2017. I was living on my own for the first time and wanted some company and happy purring kitties to be home when I got home from work. Fell in love with Meg’s photo right away, and loved her sister Amy too.

I grew up with calicos and have always had a soft spot for them. After spending time with them both at the shelter, I asked Amy if she wanted me to be her new mom. She folded her tail over her paws and slow blinked at me. I knew then she chose me. When I moved in with my now husband, they both adopted him into the family very quickly, and they love him as much as they love me. 

Meg is such a cuddle bug! Which is so funny cause she was so shy at the shelter! She spends her days sitting in the window, sleeping on the bed, and playing with her favorite toy “mousey”. She also loves to sleep next to me at night almost all night. 

Amy-Kat loves sleeping in her kitty tower, greeting my husband and I when we come home from work with her happy chirps. As well as walking us to the door when we leave for work every morning. She also loves using her “kitty superpowers” to lay on my husband’s chest and purr till he falls asleep (despite his best efforts to not do so).

They both are such sweethearts and a wonderful addition to my family. Love everything about these sweet girls. They complete my home and my life.

Caramel is adjusting well, and getting along with new sister. She loves the cat tree and cardboard boxes.

Torrey (formerly Astrid ) is great! She is affectionate and playful and not at all fussy about food.  She already sleeps on the bed with us at night and stays close by when she is awake.

So, all in all, Torrey is settling in well– as evidenced by the attached picture (taken on her very first day with us.)

Jane has been a huge blessing for me.  Yesterday my mom came to visit, so it was the first time having company since she’s been here and she did great!

I’m on break for the next 2 weeks so we are enjoying being home all day together! My youngest son, who loves cats is coming over next week and is super excited to meet her too. He’s 19.  I think he’s more excited to see Jane than me!

She is definitely a lap cat! ❤️
