My Gracie ( you called her “Linda”) has been with me for two years! 

She was left in a box in a barn with her kittens. She has enriched my life so much I have changed jobs so I can work from home and be with her in all of her cuteness every day.

She is the perfect companion!  I don’t know how I got along without her!

Hi there MEOW,

Wanted to give you an update on the cat we adopted a couple weeks ago! We adopted the black cat “Jasmine”, who we gave a new name to symbolize our commitment to giving her a forever home. Jasmine’s final, special name is Neptune!

When we came to MEOW, we thought that we knew what kind of animal we were looking to adopt — but then we met Neptune, and we threw those assumptions out the window because she is the one. Sometimes when you meet a cat, you just know. You can’t always plan for these things, the cat chooses you. I can’t believe no one snatched her up before us, because she is a fantastic cat, loving and clever and playful!

MEOW did a great job supporting Neptune with her FIC (a urinary health condition) and anxiety. She needed her own little suite away from the other cats to feel comfortable. We had zero expectations for her behavior when we brought her home, assuming that she would struggle to adapt to her new territory for a while and that her FIC symptoms would flare up.

But guess what?

She is thriving! Now that she has a big territory all to herself, miss Neptune is an outgoing queen of the roost. Her urinary accidents are few and far between, and she gets better every day. I keep her feather toy by my work desk at all times so that we can play often, because this girl does PARKOUR. She sleeps on my chest at night and kneads like she’s on the Great British Baking Show.

We are in love with her, and grateful for MEOW for taking such good care of this wonderful animal until we were able to bring her home.

Best, Al and Justin

You’d think Sully’s been living here for years.

He hid in a bedroom closet when he first came home. Tracy put some food out for him and he stuck his head out, had a snack, and made himself comfortable on the bed. Sunday morning he came out hopped up on the couch and watched soccer with me.

Sully is one pretty smart cat. He’s already figured out that when he hears the alarm go off in the morning that means the people will be up and around. Usually he waits in the middle of the living room and watches what we do.

He’s spending his afternoons stretched out by Tracy’s laptop supervising her work.

We’ve discovered he’s a very good leaper. He likes to jump up on counters and ledges so we’re having to set some boundaries in our very small kitchen. His ease around people suggests he must have had a home at one point.

So yes, there was an adoption. Sully has adopted us.

Again, thank you and please tell everybody we appreciate all you did for Sully.

Although the loss of a pet is definitely not a happy ending, celebrating years and years of togetherness is truly the best happy ending, which is why we include these tributes here.

We lost our beautiful, beloved Grady last week. A cancer diagnosis and a quick decline. 17+ years of love and entertainment, a cat with a sense of humour.

What an adventure you sent us on when we adopted Gunnar and Grady. The Gmen were the very best of all our many cats and they both are missed. Three years ago losing Gunnar was hard but we still had Grady. Now we’re having an especially difficult time with Grady’s loss.

Hope all the rescues are going strong and thank you for trusting us with our two furry loves.

He loves to play with Poi, sometimes Nelson.  He also is adorable🥰. He does things that just are too cute I can’t explain.

We adopted Sheldon (now Dizzy) and Leonard (now Louis) August 2020.

It was a virtual adoption and we hoped they would adopt us without having met us first – it was a success!

Dizzy and Louis settled in right away and got to know all the best birdwatching spots in the house. They’ve been such a joy and we can’t say enough about their foster parents’ skills with raising such wonderful boys. They’re loved by everyone who meets them.

Thank you so much MEOW, for bringing these guys into our lives.

Hi,

Rocky is the sweetest cat and has been so amazing since the first day. 
He is settling in very well, is amazing with the kids and is doing well with our pug. 
We had him only for a week and he has already won our hearts.
He is so affectionate, he follows us everywhere in the house and loves to sit on my computer during meetings. Kids enjoy playing with him seeing him jump after his feathers and after the little orange bouncy thingy. 
His cold is getting better, he was sneezing a lot the first days, I have been using eucalyptus essential oil in diffuser around the house and it seems to be helping him get better.

Thank you so much.

Serena, Alex, Theo, Arthur, Luuna and Rocky

Hi MEOW,

I thought you’d appreciate this. We keep a few of the cat toys in a drawer in our living room coffee table. The table is a big, solid maple thing, and the drawers are quite heavy. Last week, Jilly was sniffing around the drawer, so I decided to pull out a couple of cat toys and play with the cats for a bit. They chased a couple fuzzy snakes around for a good half an hour before they got bored (or so I thought) and I put the toys away.

When I was brushing my teeth, not ten minutes later, I heard strange noises in the living room. I came out to investigate, and I saw both kitties with their paws in the toy drawer. Somehow a pair of very determined twelve-pound cats managed to pull open a very large, heavy drawer and then reach in and pull out their favorite toys. Now they can get their toys whenever they want. I keep putting them away, and the kitties think of it as kind of a game to break into the toy drawer and pull them back out.

Thank you again for raising such clever kitties and giving them a home with us! Here is a photo of Janey breaking in.

Hi-

I just wanted to give you a very belated update about Lucy, a very sweet 8 year old kitty that I adopted in October 2017. She settled in immediately and has become best friends with Otis, my other kitty. They sleep, bathe, and eat together every day.

Lucy has proven herself to be the sweetest girl; she never gets mad, nor hisses or bites and doesn’t appear to have a mean bone in her Rubenesque body. Just a total lovebug who thoroughly adores her not so new home. Thanks for saving her so that she could be a part of my household. I’ve enclosed a picture of Lucy (lounging in front) with her best buddy Otis.
