SUKI
Just arrived but Meowmy said she's gonna find me a forever home ! I'm a loving, inquisitive little girl who isn't afraid of the doggie here, use my litter box all the time, and love to eat and play. I do need a playmate to go home to, though, so maybe you'll find me a boy kitten to live with?
Purrs,
Annie

Suki started out a little slow. We had to put her on antibiotics, but is doing very well now!!!!! Her big brother Sake really took to her when we brought her home. He thought he was the boss of the house, but Suki made her presence known very quickly.
Both of them love to run all over the house, sleep together, and clean each other. Sake is a great big brother to Suki. They get along very well. I think they would be lost without each other now!!!!
Suki has been a great addition to our family. They both bring a lot of joy to us.

I'm sorry to say Suki passed away. We have missed her terribly and know that she has been a loss to our family. Sake really misses her.

SEREFINA
Hi there! I'm Sprintz, and that's my original name. I will talk to you nonstop if you call me by my name. I'm a super snuggly, affectionate girl. I want to be right where you so that I can head-bump you and tell you all about my day. I've got a couple shelter sniffles, but I'm going to be a-okay and ready to go home real soon! I don't mind other kitties and am curious about what they're doing on the other side of my door. Fostermom thinks that I should fit in just about anywhere, so go ahead and ask about me!

Notes from Home
It has been not quite a month since Sprintz has arrived. She was very shy at first, but has adjusted suprisingly well. After she began to make her presence known...she was very inquisitive, playful yet gentle with a sweet 'meow', I decided to rename her "Serafina". She was very apprehensive about meeting Thai, my lilac point male siamese, as he was with her. Watching them become familiar with each other was (and still is) quite a show. They have been playing and running after each other but they are still 'checking each other out'. She also is a wonderful match for Thai since he is quite shy..they seem to 'take turns' initiating play. She spent the first week or two sleeping under the bed or in a closet...she now sleeps at the foot of the bed (unless Thai gets there first) or in her cat bed..she is brave enough now to jump up on my lap. Serafina has been a delightful addition to my home.
She appears to be eating well, no litter box issues

Pongo is the perfect cat in every way! He is the official house guard and protects everyone in it.
Always quietly comes over to give your leg a bump and say hello. He loves to get scrunches on his head and loves to still play with his favorite toy a mouse. He is a good friend to his sister, Wendy Lou.
There couldn't be a better meezer, we are so glad we adopted him.
He is now getting ready to be a best friend to his newest sister Danni!

TAFFY
Hi!,
I'm Angel Rose and meowmy has helped me relax here in my foster home. So far I've let her know how cooperative I can be. I didn't complain during my bath or claw trim, I rode quiet in the car for a vet check, and I give her a nice meow greeting when she comes to see me. I like all the other kitties here but not the dog.
I have a good appetite, like to play, love to be petted, and like all well brought up ladies have excellent personal habits, especially when it comes to my litter box.
I am so ready for my forever home now. Won't you consider a nice girl like me?

7/21/11 Update
Angel has been in her “forever home” for almost a week now, and she’s settling in very nicely. We have given her a new name, Taffy, but we also plan to continue to call her Angel as a nickname that reflects our affection for her. For now, we’re mostly using both names at the same time, calling her “Taffy Angel,” until she is used to her new name.
Taffy Angel was calm during her ride home. She spent a lot of the ride sleeping and didn’t talk very much. Since getting home, she has been really enjoying the wide window sills in our home, sitting for long periods watching birds and the city traffic below. She also seems to like watching for any movement that is visible in the windows of nearby buildings. When she’s not watching birds, traffic, or peeping in other people’s windows, she loves, loves, loves to play. It’s been a joy thinking of new games to play with her.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
8/2/11 Update
Taffy has been home two weeks now, and she's doing great. She's high energy and plays with all sorts of toys (especially the ones her foster meowmy sent home). We have discovered her favorite toy is a feather teaser. When no person is available to play with her, she even enjoys playing with the teaser by herself, and she drags it from room to room with her. She's a lot of fun. :)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
9/24/11 Update
Taffy is doing well, and she likes to "help" with everything we do. :) We're uploading new pictures......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
7/21/13
It seems like Taffy has been in our lives for longer than two years, but we actually just passed the two year mark last week. She's still doing well and continues to amuse everyone she meets. Taffy also continues to be active and curious. We are currently living in a large apartment building, and she has been quite interested about what is happening in a hallway outside the apartment. Apartment management allows pets on leashes in the halls, so I got Taffy a harnass and leash. It took a little practice, but she now seems to enjoy walking in the hallway and meeting the neighbors. Since she's an indoor only cat, I would not want to take her outside because I suppose it's possible that she could get loose, but she's safe walking indoors and seems happy doing so. Now most evenings she jumps at the door after dinner to let me know that she wants to go for a walk.
Thanks again to everyone who had a hand in getting Taffy safely into rescue and in caring for her until she could become mine. She's a real joy.

TACO
Looking for a night snuggler, lap cuddler with plush, soft fur like a teddy bear? If you want a loving companion who responds to your loving hands I'm your guy!
I love people, and get along with other cats, as long as there are no bullies. But I am such a lover, that you really only need one! I'm not keen on dogs or small kids, so let's avoid those
I love a lot of attention, and am happiest when I'm in the lap of my favorite person. Sometimes I have to insert myself front and central, as I enjoy bonding with my special person when she is on the computer, rubbing my face on her hands and drooling sometimes! I know it's hard to type on the keys when I do that, but I can't help it, I just love you!
If you're looking for a devoted companion who will jump on your lap and sleep with you, ask about me. I'd love to check out your lap!

Notes from Home
Hi everyone! I've been meaning to send an update, but somehow I never quite get to it. Beth's 6 month adoption email sprurred me on.
Taco has settled in, but it did take him several months to feel comfortable. He's definitely a one person cat, though. He follows me around the house and would be very happy if it were just the two of us all the time. He is not fond of strangers, particularly men and usually hides if anyone comes to visit. Sadly, he is still very skttish around Jim. Sometimes he'll stay still and let Jim pet him, but more often than not, he runs away before Jim can even get near him. He spends some part of the night laying next to or on top of me, but jumps off if Jim moves.
Taco is very affectionate with me and usually comes whenever I call him. He doesn't like to be held, but loves to be brushed and LOVES chin scratches. Taco really enjoys spending time outside on the lanai watching the lizards and squirrels.
Taco has perfect litterbox habits. I've continued with the Blue crushed walnut shells and we both seem to like it. He is still a very picky eater. It's almost like he's doing you a favor by eating. I've tried just about every canned food on the market but found that he'll only eat Whiskas (especially Filet Mignon!) or Meow Mix, all mixed with some water. I feed him a half can twice a day, but he rarely finishes it all.
He also gets 1/4 cup of dry food which he picks at throughout the day. He's not much of a water drinker either. In spite of all this, he stays in good weight, his coat is good and doesn't shed much, and he rarely has hairballs.
Taco is now an important member of our family and is much loved, quirks and all! Thanks, again, to all the volunteers who brought him to us!!!!
7/19/13
Taco has now been with us for just over one year. Not much has changed since my 6 month update. Taco remains devoted to me and seems to tolerate my husband slightly better. He loves to spend time on our lanai chasing lizards and watching the birds and squirrels. He spends his down time sleeping in a number of different places, but has lately taken a fondness to sleeping in our bathtub.Go figure! When he wants to play, he stands over his toy basket until I take something out. He's particularly fond of his skittle mice that he chases and carries around by the tail. There are 7 or 8 of them that are somewhere in the house, but only Taco knows where!
Just had our annual "checkup". We think Taco may have allergies as he's been sneezing and scratching for awhile. See the vet again next week and will probably get an antihistamine shot. Ouch!!!
Hope all my friends at Siamese Rescue are having a great summer!!

I am right here, you silly people! I am a true Daisy except for one thing - you'll never say you Love me Not! I am lap sitting, affectionate, friendly and purring, with the softest, silkiest Balinese coat there is (no shedding!). I am oh so eager for attention, I come running when you walk in the door, follow you around, chirp at you, and I never wilt. Every once in awhile I get so excited I give a little nip because I'm just so very happy to have you! But mostly I purr, chirp, lapsit, snuggle, and am in every way your shadow!

Daisy Mae is doing very well, she is just as beautiful and sweet as when I first met her. She is the perfect
hostess to all the guests to our home. She had her Vet visit last week and they declared her to be very
healthy and a good weight.
Truly this was a perfect match up, Siri is very intuitive in her decisions on what cat goes with what family.
Jane
1/1/12
There is just not enough room to tell you how much we love our Daisy. Yes, we felt that she was more a
'Daisy' than a Vanilla. She loves us so much and we enjoy her so much. Everybody that comes for a visit
has enjoyed the welcome by our sweet little cat. In fact, some folks just come for a visit with Daisy because
she seems to steal their hearts.
She always uses the scratching board or the scratching post, we have only had to correct her a couple times
and she was very sorry she had chosen the wrong item, her eyes seemed to be so sad! She always makes it
to the litter box and is so neat and tidy, no litter is strewn anywhere. She licks her plate clean when we feed
her and sometimes we almost forget that she has already been fed and think it needs doing again, but we
have set times and stick with them, Daisy will remind us if we forget.
She is very, very smart and one morning my husband's alarm did not wake him at the 5:00 a.m. time, and at
5:10 Daisy leapt upon my husbands tummy and woke him up. She has not done that before or after!
Daisy gets into the closets faster than I can blink my eyes and I have accidentally shut her in a closet several
times. She does not cry to be let out and after a few hours I will wonder where she is, as she is usually always in the same room I am. I will call to her and call, and finally I will hear her little ick, ick, ick, and locate her in a closet.
One thing I am wondering about it that we only feed her one small 'Fancy Feast' can a day, along with 1/8th cup of
dry before grain cat food, and she is so chubby! I wonder if she is supposed to be this big, because I can't see cutting back on such a small amount of food for her. We have contemplated going back to the Vet to see if this is too chubby and putting her on some sort of diet, but the Vet thought 10 pounds was ok. I am enclosing a couple of pictures so you can see our chubby monkey!
We have not regretted rescuing Daisy, she has been the best cat for us and we have all bonded.
Happy New Year!
Jane B
Daisy Mae just had her visit to the Vet and she checked out fine. She
weighs nine pounds now. I only feed her twice a day with the wet food, and
she has the dry food whenever she wants.
I introduced her to neighbors and family and she loves everybody, and
everybody loves her. She sure has made herself at home, and is comfortable
in any room that we are in! She has the most delightful nature and loves to
lap sit.
It is hard to believe that any family would have let a sweet natured cat
like Daisy go! She is a love and fits so well into our house. My husband
loves her and at night will call for her to come to the bedroom if she isn't
already there. She has found a great friend in him, so no worries there.
Thanks for giving her such great care, she is continuing to bloom with
health and I will keep you informed of any changes. I told the aides at the Vet all about how Siamese rescue works and they kept the flyer for reference for others. They were so impressed with how this rescue/adoption was handled.
8/19/11I have a current picture of Daisy/Vanilla. I will enclose it with this e-mail.
She is starting to play a lot more now that she has been here for almost two months.
She loves kids, although my three year old grandson was too much and she hid.
She loves older folks too, as my 80 year old Mother In Law visited and she attached herself
to the cousin that came along.
Mostly I am impressed with how she didn't play for weeks and rarely seemed to sleep, but
now she plays and sleeps like a normal adjusted cat.

Wendy Lou started out as a flying meezer at our house but over the years she has been with us she has calmed down very much. She enjoys looking out the windows and playing with her big friend Pongo. They are always together where ever they are in the house. She is a sweet cat with a chirp to say hello!
Always the first to find me for breakfast. She loves to sleep on the blankets and in her bed.
She is such a nice kitty, she always has something to say when you go by with her big blue eyes!

Hey, adopters - Tristan here.
I am out of isolation now and loving life:) I get to race and chase and play and go wherever I want to now) No more cage or bedroom only for this guy!
And guess what else? I have a new friend to play with:) I really like that because I was so lonely being all by myself! After all, everybody needs a buddy to hang with:)
I get to sleep with foster mom and dad too! I like to snuggle right behind foster dad's knees - ahhh, so comfy!!
So, if you have a cat buddy (dude or chick) for me to chill with (no woofers, though - they scare me!) and you want a snuggle partner in bed - well I'm your guy:)
Oh, and did I mention - I LOVE to talk, talk, talk!
Do I sound like your kind of guy? Then hurry up and ask about me soon!!!

Notes from Home
(July 2013) I'm still running around and chasing after Mali or my imaginary buddies. Mali's still a scaredy cat but she's proven to be a great buddy. And just like I figured, she's learned my tricks and is now turning the tables on me! I still have to get her going sometimes because she does like to just wallow in the sun.
I've passed all my vet exams with flying colors. In fact on the last visit when the Doc was getting ready to give me my shots, I fell asleep on the exam table. He said I was really one laid back dude. My owner ratted me out though. I seem easy going but I am still a bundle of nerves who just likes to have fun all the time.
I still hog the bed at night so Mali rarely comes up to sleep there. That's a good thing because I'm pretty restless so the more room I have to romp, the better off we all are.
And I still end up in the time-out room at least once a month. But let me tell you, it is so worth it. In fact, I seem to know when I've done something that's going to land me there so I calmly strut down the hall in advance. I do wait by the door to see if I was right and if so, I scamper in and settle in for the 15 minutes. Sometimes I can convince Mali to paw with me under the door. That often shortens the time.
Our owners go away from time-to-time but we have the best cat sitter so it's not too scary. I wasn't sure at first but Mali had already adjusted to it so I followed her lead. And now I just love when people come to visit. I quickly jump into the fray and hog the petting. The neighbors have twin babies and Mali doesn't like them so I'm getting all the attention and pets. I hope she never likes them ha!
Mali still leaves wet food in her dish for me so I can't complain. And she lets me follow her everywhere. She doesn't get too much freedom from me until I settle down. I will still wear myself out and totally crash so I feel she gets plenty of "me" time.
And I've learned to let Mali get brushed first in the morning and she's learned to let me be first in playtime. And we both respect each other's playtime. I play with the laser toy and cat dancer with our owner by myself and then Mail plays with the wand toy with our owner by herself and I watch. When they both tire, I beg for more and sometimes I luck out! Staring them down helps a lot!
Yep, I do love it here. I rarely get the sniffles anymore. And I've managed to avoid more scratches from Mali's claws. So all in all, life is just great for me! I may live to be 20 at this pace!
(July 2011) Wow, I've been here for a full year! The time has flown by, tho we kitties don't really understand time like our owners do....! I'm having a ball living in NYC! I still love looking out the windows down on the street activities below. I never tire of it. Just like I never tire of the laser toy.
Speaking of the laser, 4th of July in the city was just like one big laser toy! I couldn't keep myself seated in one window - there were lights dancing all over the sky so I had to keep moving along the windowsills to keep up! I'd never seen anything like it. Even Mali came over and sat behind me watching the sky. We had such a busy night that I think I slept the entire next day.
And Mali is getting to be a bit more fun. When we're alone, she'll play and romp with me. We end up sleeping near each other, but I have to keep one eye open on her as she has pretty sharp claws. She's a great mimic which was a lot of fun in the beginning but now she's starting to torture me like I've been able to do to her and I'm not as keen on that. She and the owner start to gang up on me, and all I've done is pounce on the two of them and give them my little trademark - love bites. I'll have to figure out how to stay one step head of the two of them....
I have claimed this home as mine. I greet the neighbors and the doormen whenever I hear them in the hall. And I am starting to keep my ground when that annoying dog next door comes sniffing over. Mali isn't as concerned about the big old shaggy thing. She said she used to live with dogs and thinks they're ok. Me, I'm not so sure. But I'm following her on this one. She better not be up to something...
I sleep on the bed every night! It's the best thing ever. I even let Mali come up on the bed though after awhile I have to give her a good old push. Then somehow we're both out in the hall. It's still fun. I put us all through this every night. They'll never learn...
And Mali and the owner have managed to get me to love a good brushing. You see, I can't let Mali get anything without me also getting some. So when I got wind of the daily brushing Mali got, then I had to get some too. At first, I didn't really like it. I loved it under my chin but I didn't like it on my back. But I watched Mali melt every morning so I was determined to see what she was getting that I wasn't. Well, after a few weeks, now I love it too.
Well, it's been kinda quiet so not I've got to go and rile up the little girl. She's been quiet for way too long. She'll miss me if I leave her alone too long.
Till next time.... Jack the Nipper
**************************************************************************************************************************
(March 2011) Well, it's been a tough winter for us. Mali decided she didn't like me and we were gated for a very long time. All I wanted to do was run around so we could keep our figures trim and sleek, but she wouldn't play! What a party pooper.
She finally started to share her toys with me in January, and we figured out how to toss things under the gates so I wasn't as bored. And our owner spent a lot of time playing with us. Last month, we started to play together so things are definitely picking up.
Now our routine is for all of us to spend time at night playing and sleeping. I love the playing time. I haven't been able to convince anyone that the nipping is also fun. I might have to give that up. What's a guy supposed to do who doesn't have his claws any more?
And, I found that red ball. I like it but I prefer another one. And recently these little mice toys came out that were a lot of fun till the tails were chewed off. I still love the laser toy the best. I will do anything for the laser. And of course for a pet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(August 2010) Hi folks! I've made it to NYC and here I am on the very first night. I think I'm going to love this place, can ya tell in my expression?
Well, it's been about a month now since I've arrived, and I must admit it's pretty nice here. I do have to learn a few new rules because these owners don't really appreciate my love bites. They're calling me Jack, after Jack the Nipper. Hmmm, I'm only responding when there are treats involved.
I've shown everyone my ability to jump to great heights when pursuing a wand toy. Just wait till the flies arrive; then they'll see my acrobatics!
I kinda messed up my integration. I just can't seem to control my love of pouncing. Mali didn't appreciate it and finally she let me have it. We can't be together anymore for a little while till I learn to calm down a bit and she learns not to be such a scaredy cat (she's giving us kitties a bad rap hrmpff).
Lately she's been warming up. We sniff each other through a 2" crack and she rarely hisses at me anymore. I'm dying having to be fairly calm around her - I want a playmate! Once she really warms back up to me, I might just have to test drive her running skills.
Well, that's life right now for me, Jack, and my buddy in waiting, Mali.

LITTLE NOCHU
I was a frail little fella, born with a birth defect called pectus excavatum,( a Latin term meaning hollowed chest), I was doing ok for a while, but it was obvious that I had trouble catching my breath when I played, so Meowmy thought it might be a good idea to tell you why I was moved back to evaluation.
You see, in order to survive I needed a very special operation, and a wonderful vet contacted the center and meowmy and offered to see what she could do for me. Meowmy drove me to her hospital last weekend, and on Friday I got the special surgery I needed. I'll be there for a while so that the vet can moniter me while I wear a special brace to correct my defect. She even sent a photo of me while I was asleep with her putting it on. She did promise some more photo's, too, so we'll post them, too, when she sends them for you all to see!
I am doing ok right now and am getting used to this "thing" on my chest.Doesn't it make me handsome?????

Notes from Home
9/13/11 Nochu... he has far surpassed all expectations that I had for him. He continues to improve, week to week. And unless you knew what to feel for in his chest, you might miss that there was ever anything wrong. The effort was so well worth it. He is a little love. I attached a few pics of my kids. You will see Nochu interacting with his siblings, wrestling in my painting area, and with his final vest. He was sporting an "S" for supercat on his back, and an "L" on his chest for Little. He was often called Super Little at the hospital during all his procedures.
So his official name is Little Nochu. He is doing well. He did have a third surgery last Friday. After 4 weeks of his splint, he just grew out of it. I removed the splint last Sunday, and he had a few free (no splint) days. After lots of discussion and lots of additional X rays, we (the surgeon and I, with the recommendation of the ER vets) went back to surgery to get him the best conformation that we can. He has truly become a team effort. The X rays after surgery showed good correction of the tip of his sternum that refuses to cooperate. Hopefully this splint lasts 4 weeks, and he doesn't have another growth spurt. He recovered well from this surgery, and did not have to stay in the hospital on O2 overnight. This is a good sign, showing us that his breathing is significantly improved. When I got him home that night, he was running and playing.
He is eating and drinking better, but is a really picky kitty. He changes what he will eat daily, and has expensive taste. He still likes to be hand fed, but is doing better with a bowl on his own. I think that some of his pickiness is the difficulty in bending down to the bowl while wearing the splint. But, funny enough, the splint does not slow him down at all. He is feisty, and a runner, despite my best efforts to prevent him from being active. He can now jump on chairs, climb the cat trees, and run really fast. He is becoming fast friends with Adam. Adam is skeptical about the friendship, and is sometimes scared of the kitten, but Little Nochu is determined to play with this big brother. He just really likes Adam. The nice thing about his climbing ability is that he is able to use the big cat litter pans. He had his own shallow pans until yesterday. He never used them. He just climbed on in to the adult pans.... funny cat. He is such a smart little fellow. He has also learned about treat time. He knows that the shaking of the bag means treats, and he loves treats!
We are really happy with our new little cat. He fits in to all the quirkiness of our household so well. We just have to laugh at all of his antics. He is even handling the move in stride. The boxes are just the best toys ever.
Thank you all for making the adoption go so smoothly. I just couldn't let this one go. We will keep you updated on his progress after the move on Saturday. My parents are coming on Thursday to help pack and move, but their other job is to keep the animal out of the way and safe. They are so excited to see Little Nochu again! They are happy we adopted him.
7/17/13 News from their new home in Germany!
Adam and Little have grown into very loving cats. They are even loving brothers! Adam is very handsome, and can be loud with his meezer cry. He is playful, and very food driven. He is currently on a bit of a diet! He is attached to Victor and I, and also my parents. He is quite shy around strangers, and many of our friends have never met the handsome Siamese in our photos. That is fine with me, because when everyone leaves, he curls up next to me, and gives kisses! Little is still a kitten, and will always be my baby. After months of hand feeding him 3 times a day, we are inseparable. He follows me like a dog, and I love it. He is 7.5 pounds, and breathes easily... a long way from the video I first saw of him! He is a very normal cat, with no limitations on what he can do. If you feel his chest closely, you can still tell he is a bit flat chested... but there is no sign that his sternum was once so displaced. His spine still curves inward but this has not been an issue. His heart still lays on the left, and is easy to feel. At night he lays on my chest, and I feel his heart beat next to mine. He is just so perfect!
Everyone at Siamese Rescue is still in our hearts. We love the babies you rescued and cared for so that we could adopt them. Thank you!
