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! ❤️

Hello Wonderful Meow Cat Rescue!

We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to make sure that Tiana (now known as Phoebe) was a good match for us and for her!  We visited her twice and she was so shy that it was hard to see what her personality was like.  You folks interacted with her and gave us her background concerning how she was rescued.  This made it much easier to make the decision to adopt her. You also let us know that she should have a quiet, small space for 7 days so that she could feel safe and in control of her new home.

Within 6 hours of bringing her home, her personality began to come out! She slowly began to feel safe and began to ask for pets and lots of attention.  Once her 7 days were up, she immediately began to go up to closed doors and quietly let us know that she wanted to explore! 

She now roams the entire first floor of the house, and she “insists” that we play and give her plenty of pets!  Before long, she’ll have access to the basement, too.  She has the sweetest personality and a tiny meow, but she loves spending time with us, especially in the evenings.  We love having a kitty who is growing into her true self and is beginning to “own” her people!

As always, Stella (McGonagall when she was at MEOW) and I send our very best 😻 She is an amazing cat and I can’t imagine what life would be like without her! I’m grateful to MEOW for giving her a safe place to land before our paths crossed 13+ years ago.

Original Post (11/29/22):

Stella (McGonagall while she was at MEOW) is doing great and loving life as a SoCal sunshine kitty. She’s still my best buddy and I’m so grateful to have her in my life! 😻 

She is just the sweetest, silliest, most perfect cat ever (I may be slightly biased). She is sitting in her window perch chirping at me as I write this.

I recently started working from home full time and it’s been a hoot to get to spend more time with her throughout the day and watch her little routines evolve.

Tomato and Rosemary (renamed Pickle and Ash) are doing great.

The whole family is absolutely in love with them.

Leo Valdez and Nico di Angelo are enjoying life in their new home.

They are both comfortable and happy, and we spend many an evening and weekend cuddling and napping on the couch or running around the living room playing.
