IVY
A mother at a young age, I've lived with 24 other cats and did just fine. Now I'm spayed and looking forward to really getting to live a little! Give me toys, cuddles, attention and love and I'm going to soak up every second of it! And other cats! Sure, bring them on! (Though if you really wanted just one, sure, I could absorb all the attention you have to give! )

Notes from Home
Ivy has been here for three weeks and is doing well. She LOVES to be with humans and chirps, trills and squeaks a lot in a very soft voice. Laps though are not interesting and has yet to sit in one. Since it is not lady-like to hiss, she does not do that. Toy-mice and laser dots are not safe in this house anymore. Playful does not begin to describe Ivy. She wants to play all the time and loves to play fetch with the mice. Jokes, oh yeah, she likes those too - on April 1st, she woke up her cat-daddy by jumping onto the headboard and drop the mouse on his head.
Her big little brother, Haku, is not fond of her at all so integration is going slowly. But when such a whippersnapper is too naughty she will put him in his place. After all, she has dealt with kittens before, though it is a little disconcerting to see a little 7 pound cat whoop a 13 pound boy's behind.
May 13, 2013
Hello again,
A little update on our little miss Ivy Piggy. She went to the vet last week since she has been sneezing and coughing. We suspected allergies and asthma, which the vet said was very likely. Her temperature was also a little elevated, so antibiotics and antihistamine for her. Ivy does not like to have her mouth handled and turns into a spitfire if you try. Fortunately she LOVES pill-pockets, so she does take her medicine like a champ.
Ivy gained half a pound since the last visit to TED, so she is not starving :-) but is now an 8 pound girl. She has calmed down a lot and accepts the resident cat Haku, - as long as he doesn't show fear or is rude, then she will put him in his place.
Haku has his confidence back but now he is challenging her - or wants to roughhouse with her, I don't know which. They can be together in the same room supervised, but if any of them gets naughty, they get separated. Litter boxes are also a turf war - it's funny how Ivy defends the one upstairs, while Haku defends the one downstairs. Our boxes are of the covered variety since Ivy likes to dig to China in there, so we will try uncovered ones , but with high walls so there is an escape. Cat-daddy is not happy, for that means more litter clean-up for him. In other words, Integration is not finished, but there has been progress.
Last but not least, Ivy has acquired quite a few nicknames and a theme song Triller (think Michael Jackson's song "Thriller"), Snow-kitty, sushi-wushi (ask the kids), Ivy-girl and Little Lady. Her favorite toy is a tailless mousie named "Wet, Cold Yucky Mousie".
May 16, 2013
Wow, what a week of antibiotics can do. Ivy seems to feel a thousand times better and her personality is now in full bloom. When we were interviewed, Karen told us that meezers may attach themselves to one person, and boy, did Ivy do that. She is now Meowmy's shadow and can't bear not to have her favorite person out of sight. So another nickname has been coined - Shadow :-).
July 10th, 2013
All is good here and in general there are healthy cats here. Ivy and Haku are now very good friends and love to "wrestle" with each other, especially when Ivy tries to groom Haku. Ivy has indeed found Haku's inner kitten for him. When not wrestling with her "big" little brother, Ivy enjoys running after toy-mousies and will sometimes bring them back for us "slaves" to throw them again. She is still very playful.
Haku was trained to sit on a mat when the family leaves the house to avoid darting out and Ivy has picked up the sitting on the mat part. Maybe that has something to do with the treats that can be in the offing? Ivy loves food, so much that in the time she has been with us, she has gained a whole pound and has collected two additional nicknames - Ms. Piggy and Roly-Poly. We found out she enjoys romaine lettuce, pasta, pork, chicken, pizza crust, potato chips, French fries and any kind of fish, except tuna... but she gets it in very small amounts. We have a fifth member at the dining table now to keep us company.
So all in all, we have a happy home here and healthy cats despite TED (The Evil Doctor :-) diagnosing Ivy (and Haku) with feline herpes and possibly hay fever. We give them OTC lysine to bolster the immune system and they treat it as a treat. There are new pictures to see, so click on the pictures next "door".
November 16, 2013:
What a difference six months can do... Ivy is still surprising us. She has decided that "her" person is not meowmy anymore, but cat daddy. Ivy has until now not wanted to sit in any laps, just sit next to you on the arm rest if you are sitting on the sofa. Well, the last couple of days, cat daddy's lap has been deemed adequate to sleep on. We are delighted that she is trusting us more and more and feeling more secure. Haku and Ivy are still friends and love to play tag in the morning and wrestle. And of course, more nicknames have surfaced, such as chubanucka, Roly Poly, and the latest - chowmeister. She is getting rotund around the belly after one too many treats at the dining table and when people are leaving the house... Our new motto for her is "all in moderation..."
March 17, 2014
Happy Gotcha day, Ivy.
Wow, it's has already been a year since Trouble, Colette - ahem IVY - came on a snowy day... She has settled in as the queen she is (well, former queen - no more kittens for her), gets along famously with Haku and sleeps between Meowmy and Catdaddy every night and follows Meowmy everywhere during the day. Her check-up back in February was stellar - same weight as when she arrived at SCRC, tail still curled and fluffed when she is happy - and that is often. However, she did not show her beautiful ringtail to the vet - he is evil in her eyes, poking her with a needle and ruffling her fur.
And Ivy loooooooves her mousies. She plays even more now than when she arrived. And fetch, oh yeah - well almost. She will run after the mousie and bring it back. That is, bring it to within five feet of ya. She expects you to get up and retrieve it; no sitting down and get off easy, oh no :-). When she tires of chasing the mousie, she likes to help with the kids' homework - especially lying on the folders and papers. Fluffy blankets and carpets are not for her. Smooth, hard surfaces are her favorite places to lie down and survey her queendom.
So it was a year ago, she came, she conquered, she stole our hearts. We have still not found them ;-).
February 4th, 2017
Wow, time flies... Ivy has been with us for four years now (we still haven't found our hearts - it's a lost cause ;-). It has been nothing but fun. Ivy is definitely the queen in this house, ruling it with "iron claws". She is a very gregarious and loving girl, who puts herself in the middle of the group. If one person is at one end of the room and another person at the opposite end, Ivy will plop down in the middle, so there's the same distance to her people. Laps are wonderful too, especially if they are under a fleecy blanket. She has her own pillow on the bed, so she, again, is between her people when they sleep.
Lately though, she's been through some rough waters. Allergies kept her sneezing and a couple of months ago, we noticed that she had a hard time eating her lysine in one piece. Lysine comes in a hard fish shaped treat, that can dry to a tough cookie - literally. At her annual check-up, we had TED (The Evil Doctor) look closely in her mouth. He found stomatitis and recommended a dental cleaning with extraction of one tooth. Well, she ended up having her upper fangs and one molar pulled. At the same time, we found out that she was already missing seven teeth! They were either re-absorbed or fell out without us noticing.
Here three days after surgery she is back to her usually funny self, keeping Haku in check, and fetching her mousies again - albeit without her upper fangs. She is still getting used to them not being there. We are crossing fingers, toes and claws that she won't have to go through this again and that her sneezing was due to the untreated stomatitis and not allergies.
13. September 2017:
We had Ivy back at the vet last month - stomatitis getting to yet another tooth (sigh). She is doing good again now after a round of antibiotics. However, last night there was a surprise call from the vet. Ivy was chosen as the September Pet of the Month. She got a little basket with toys and lean treats. We had to supply a picture of her and five facts about her. The picture is up oin the "pictures from home" and this is what we wrote:
Five (okay six) facts about Ivy:
She is a lynx point Siamese mix with a ring tail that goes over her back and down her right flank making a perfect circle.
Ivy was rescued with her two sons from a hoarding situation by the Siamese Cat Rescue Center.
Loves to supervise the kitchen from the top of the garbage bin, but has been known to land in it when the lid is up.
If you ask at large, "Who wants to be brushed?" She will come running and be first in line. She loves to be brushed.
As the 8-pound (ex)queen of the house, she rules with an iron paw and easily puts her "little" brother, 13 pound Haku, in his place.
The queen demands her tax at the dinner table. Anything goes, such as pizza crust, meat, cheese, and especially fish.

Used to living with many other cats.
Relaxed while being held and cuddled; takes lots of kisses on his head without struggling to get down.
Grazes on dry, eats canned readily. (Don' think he had regular meals without having to fight for his food due to speed with which he gulps his canned food once a day) |

NOAH
HELP MY MOM!!!!!! She's falling love with me!
New to this place, I am a bit overwhelmed but calm with the changes. Now that I have a clean bed, pampered self with clean nails and ears, I'm liking the diet and quiet times. Foster meowm comes and gives me pets. I am quickly learning that kisses and cuddles and snuggles aren't so bad. In fact, I temporarily lose my mind at least once a day and purr up a storm when mom loves on me. Maybe this human thing isn't so bad, after all.
I'll be ready for me new home shortly. If you are looking for a well behaved gentle boy, ask about me. I'd like to go home with gentle feline friends and a patient adopter who will keep reassuring me that every time I get petted, it's still good. Can you do that?

Notes from Home
When my Meowmy asked about me, she was told I would be very shy and probably not a people cat. So, she tried very hard to be patient and let me come out of my shell. She now calls me her teddy bear. I always have to touch her when she is sleeping, and when she tosses and turns, I lay down on her pillow around her head, put my head on her head and purr. She goes right to sleep. See how good my training of her has been? I eat well and really enjoy my Greenie treats that are good for my teeth. I have a very good vet who focuses just on cats. When I get my shots, I hide my head in my Meowmy's arm. But I don't like the kitty carry. I cry and cry when she carries me out to her car (making her neighbors very worried) but as soon as I get in the car, I am just fine. When my Meowmy is home, I have to sleep near her, except when I am really tired, and then I go to my favorite sleeping spot under the sofa where I can hear what she's up to, but I can get some good beauty sleep. She massages my paws and my neck....purr. I found just my right person, but she's always in the process of being trained. We lost our favorite roommate Juliette, who I have been trying to find but Meowmy said it's ok...she will find us again someday. Thanks for sending me such a trainable person who loves meezers.
More update: my Meowmy has been in training for nine years and I think I am making progress! Her mother passed away and she is responsible for the estate so we have been driving the long distance each way to get to that house. I am happier with the kitty carry, where there is a nice bed and my vet recommended freezing some water in a silicone bowl so I could have something to drink during the trip. It works! I like the other house, lots of toys and places to run around and have fun. Most importantly, I can supervise my Meowmy and share my purrs, meows and and hair. My Meowmy tells me often that she couldn't have done any of the work she needs to do without me. My vet says I am doing well, my check-ups are good. Thankyou so much to everyone who matched me with my person. Life is very very good!

Notes from Home
Hi, Murphy is home for 1 week today and is the cutest terror kittenzilla I have ever loved. After 7 days he is learning the word "no", not happily and with much under his breath grumbling about the unfairness of it all. He also has the most interesting post poop run. I've not seen it done with quite this much "flying" through the air like superman with paws stretched full out. All thats missing is a cape. Till next time. Happy tails!!!!
After 2 weeks Murphy has grown a lot. He's getting fluffier and chubbier. Every day he manages to slip, slide, roll, run and fall off the bed while playing lol. He is learning manners, reluctantly.
Murphy is definitely feeling quite at home now. He thinks he pays the rent and doesn't hesitate to take whateveriberties he thinks he deserves. For example, I turned my head for less than 1minute and when I turned back all I saw sticking out of the bottom refridgerater shelf was a fat fluffy kitten tail. Yep, baaaad to the bone this one, butove every minute.
Murphy is getting so big, but he's still a little thing compared to his sister. He's learned manners, now its a matter of getting him to use them!! Daisy simply refuses to play with him when he gets carried away and then he wanders around crying like the baby he still is. She will ignore him, so he comes crying to me and I feel bad. Second fiddle or not I play with him while Daisy shakes her head in disgust at my weakness. But really, how can I resist? Murphy Spoiled? Nahhh.
I know I just posted something, but this was too ridiculous to pass up. One of those "wish I had a video" monents. Murphy, oh so gracelessly fell out of my huge triple window, tumbling through the curtai on his head, crashed into and knicked over a lamp and bounced off the table onto the chair where he stood looking like "huh?!!" I looked at him and said "I can't believe you did that". He looked back as if to say 'niether do I'
6 months later 3/21/14 Murphy is huge lol, you would not recognize this chubby fluff monster. He still thinks he weighs nothing and is a tiny thing because every morning he climbs on my chest to purr and be kissed. Can we say mommy's boy? He is such a sweet sweet boy. Talks all the time, to me, his sister (who usually pretends to ignore him) and to himself.
The wand toy is still his fave and must play with it every day or he goes in a corner to cry woe is me. Recently he discovered water sports by way of tossing his toy mouse in the water dish to watch it float (see attached pic). Every day he makes me laugh, annoys his sister, talks to anyone or anything outside the window and is absolutely adorable. As mischievous as he is he isn't bad at all. He doesn't get into trouble, just playful. Daisy pretends not to be interested but loooooooooves playing with him and bossing him around.
I'm so happy with him and so is Daisy.
I've attached a bunch of pics, including an embarrassing one where he stuck his head in the tissue box!
Thanks to all of you for my love of a cat!
Jen
Hi, its 5/16/16 and Chubbs and Daisy are now living the high life in Las Vegas. We have a huge apartment and get to run, run run! The tile floors are a bit slippery so chubbs' tush slides 1 way as his front runs the other and he merps along whenever he runs. He is such a lovebug and so so sweet. Still plays like a baby even though he's almost 3.
Its our 3 yr anniversary and Chubbs is doing great. He's a champion red dot hunter and is such a sweet boy. He's a joy and makes me smile every day.
Its been 4 years, can't believe it! Time flew and my baby Chubbs is sweeter than ever. He now sleeps with me each day. He's bossy as can be but such a character. I couldn't love him more!

Notes from Home
September 12, 2017
Another year already? Amazing how time flies!
Molly had her annual checkup and shots two weeks ago. The vet pronounced her fit as a fiddle. Ok, so she’s up 2 ounces in weight over last year; we’re working on it.
Molly has settled in nicely as the senior cat in the house – since her Uncle Albert crossed over the rainbow bridge 3 years ago. She’s definitely a leader.
I’m still looking for a new home with a screened porch or at least a sunroom so she and Wade can spend more time in the fresh air and watch the birds and butterflies all day long.
Things are mostly quiet here, except when Molly and Wade go on a rampage, racing back and forth, over the couch and onto the bed and up on the countertops. Such energy!
Her fuzzy green mouse is still her favorite. Amazingly, it hasn’t completely disintegrated by now. When carrying it around, she makes noises like she’s calling to her kittens. I think she would have been a good mom.
Thank you, Shirley and SCRC, for letting us bring this bundle of joy into our lives!
September 12, 2016
Today, Miss Molly, her “brother†Wade, and I are celebrating Molly’s seventh anniversary as a member of our family. Let’s see, so far we’ve had cake and ice cream and will be moving on to champagne later this afternoon (just kidding).
Two weeks ago Molly had her annual check-up with the vet, who pronounced her in fine shape. She weighed in at 9 lbs., 10 oz., and will get a dental next February (2017). She’s been on a reduced-calorie diet since her 2015 check-up and is now svelte again and more energetic than ever. If such a thing as Kitty Olympics existed , she would qualify for the 50-yard sprint!
Every day I give thanks that Shirley Bodirnea, foster meowm extraordinaire, rescued Molly and nurtured her until I came along and scooped her up. The SCRC volunteers are angels with furry wings!
September 12, 2015
Hello, everybody.
Today is my special day: I’m celebrating my six-year anniversary in my forever home! Yippee — jumping up and down and racing around the house! My sidekick, Wade, is watching me from his favorite spot on top of the couch, probably wishing I’d be quiet so he can go back to his nap.
Visited my vet two weeks ago for my annual checkup and shot. All’s well, but she’s putting me on a special low-calorie diet. Said I’d been snacking too much. Meowm’s been transitioning me gradually to the new food, and I actually like it, much to her surprise, especially the canned stuff. By this time next year I hope to be my svelte self again.
At our house we all love SCRC and the incredible people who make it work so well. We especially love my foster meowm, Shirley Bodirnea, who took care of me and made it possible to hook up with my forever home. Purrs and head-butts forever!
And now I have to get back to celebrating.
September 12, 2014: Taking time out from a busy day of bird watching, toy chasing, snoozing, snacking, and keeping my goofy brother Wade in line — to thank my foster mom, Shirley Bodirnea, and the SCRC for sending me to my Furever Home. Had my annual checkup and distemper booster at the vet’s a couple of weeks ago. The nice lady in the white coat said I need to lose a pound or two, so we’re working on it.
That nut case Wade requires my constant supervision, but we like hanging out together on the screen porch, watching the local wildlife, and catching the breeze. Life is good. Mom even says she can’t fall asleep at night until I come and snuggle up with her. Awww . . .
Thanks for saving me and giving me a wonderful life! Purrs to everybody at SCRC!
September 12, 2013: Wow, has it really been four years since Foster Mom Shirley Bodirnea took me to meet my Forever Mom? Amazing! Today I am a contented kitty in every way. And in the pink of health, too. Last month when I got my yearly checkup, my veterinarian, Dr. Lisa Deaton, told me what a pretty tortie I am. Of course I knew that already.
Today I have a full agenda to celebrate my anniversary: just now had my mid-morning snack and am headed out to spend a few hours on the screened porch, watching the squirrels and butterflies. Then I'll have my early afternoon snack and catch 40 winks with Meowmom. When she stretches out on the couch to "rest her eyes," I stretch out alongside her. Sometimes we even catch 60 winks if we feel like it.
Later on I'll chase brother Wadie around and let him chase me, too. I'm faster, of course, and much more devious. Sometimes he doesn't even see me coming. I'll spend some snuggle time with Uncle Albert, too. This weekend is his 18th birthday. For an old dude, he's really pretty cool.
But I would be remiss if I didn't once again express my undying thanks to SCRC and Foster
Mom Shirley for rescuing me and matching me up with my fabulous family. You're all the BESTEST!!
Purrs and head butts . . .
xxx, Molly
September 12, 2012: We started this very special day with a nummy breakfast, which I wolfed down in appreciation (and also to finish it before Uncle Albert nosed his way into my bowl). Yummm!!!
I'm happy as a bug in a rug with my family. We're a tight-knit bunch cuz we all WUV each other. The only thing I'm not crazy about is my yearly checkup at the vet's (but he always says I'm fit as a fiddle, which is great) and the noisy thing Meowmom calls a vacuum cleaner. It makes me scurry to my safe hidey-hole til she's done.
Brother Wadie is a real scamp, but I give as good as I get. I wuv sneaking up on him and springing. I chase him all around the house, and then he chases me. Oh, and I still have my favorite toy -- the fuzzy green mouse that Foster Mom Shirley gave me 3 years ago. It's a little ragged-looking now, but that's okay. The funnest thing is to throw it around in the middle of the night, like it was a real mousie. It's gone behind the fridge and stove a few times, buy Meowmom always fishes it out for me.
Thank you, Foster Mom Shirley and SCRC, for giving me such a loving family. You're the bestest!
WUV, Molly
Sept. 12, 2011: Wow, has it been 2 years already? Time flies when you're having fun. Uncle Albert, Brother Wade, and I are the 3 Mouseketeers, literally. When cold weather starts coming, like now, once in a while a little forest mousie finds his/her way into the basement. We have great fun chasing it around (we always wait til about 2 AM, when Meowm is asleep), but Meowm frowns on that. She tells us to be nice to our visitor, but we can't help ourselves. So she gets her butterfly net (for taking insects out of the house), snags the mousie, and relocates it gently down the forest road a ways.
I WUV my new family, and they WUV me! You guys at SCRC and especially my Foster Meowm, Shirley, are the bestest!! Without all of you I wouldn't be the happy li'l girl that I am. Every day I say a special prayer: "Thank you with all of my heart."
Now I have to go see if I can sneak up behind Wadie or Uncle Al and pounce on them.
Love always,
Molly
Molly is so integrated into our family that I can't imagine life without her! That little speckled thing has me at her beck and call, and that's okay. : )
Molly's coat has darkened quite a bit, and her tortie markings are distinctive. She also has a small tan streak on her forehead that's very sweet. Also, I can’t help but laugh at the way she squeaks instead of meowing.
She and Wade are best buddies. They tear around the house -- up and down the stairs -- and roll and tumble on the floor. Once in a while things get a little too rambunctious for her liking, and she screeches -- and five minutes later they're back at it again. : )
Foster Mom Shirley nursed Molly to health and gave her lots of TLC. THANK YOU, SHIRLEY!!!!!!

Just got here. Really? Another new place? Seriously humans, can you love me and keep me forever? Foster mom says that I will be able to stay in my next home forever with my very own people. She's just getting to know me, but she has heard that I like other kitties and woofers, too. I'm a little shy about being picked up, but pet me on my body, and I'm in heaven! More about me soon.

Notes from Home
Was holding off a bit on our updates on Mishka. Seeing progress! it has been slow to earn his trust, but Monday, April 13, Mishka let me know I was sleeping beyond my normal 5:35 AM wakeup time- he did not like that a bit. He knows he gets a teaspoon of Fancy Feast in the morning and he was not wanting to wait a minute longer. In the evening I decided to try brushing him to see how far I would get without him trying to swat at me or bite- he amazingly let me brush him including his tail. He did not want me to stop!
He is still trying wholeheartedly to make friends with Gidgette, the other feline. He needs to learn some manners when it comes to playing. He can be a bully. With the dogs he seems fine.
Very talkative. Loves company, including children over 5. He also is more Christina's companion than Carroll's. But she spends the majority of the time giving Mishka the strokes he so deserves.
Sept 20,2015
Mishka has stolen our hearts- including the other fur children here. He is a talker during the night- I guess he thinks we will get up and give him a treat. ( Smiley face). He is doing quite well and has adjusted to his freedom beyond the cage. He will allow Christina to pick him up ans set him on her lap. If she is laying on the floor he will lay on her stomach and knned her her. Aww so cute a rewarding. He likes to cuddle and sleep in Carroll's chair, as well as on our pillows.
He met his new veternarian last week for his annual checkup and shots- Dr. Moseley at the Hope Animal Clinic- they get along nicely. We have been taking him there for nail trims. We also take our other fur children here also and am very pleased with the care, caring and devotion of this practice.
Mishka weighed in at slightly over 14 pounds. The vet looked him over well and assessed that he is in wonderful health, including his gums. Dr Mosely also noted how attentive Mishka is and that he is more dog-like than cat!!!
We so enjoy Mishka.
9/2017 Wellness visit: Wanted to update on this years Wellness Vet visit. 9/2017. Mishka is doing well.
eating well, getting along with his fur friends and human owners, and guests. He enjoys sitting on our laps at night and talking to us during the day. He has made wonderful progression. More than we had hoped for- so we are all very happy. Weighing in at 13.5 pounds. He is not due for Rabies vac until 9/2018. Feline FVRCP/leukemia vac due 9/2018

BUTTERSCOTCH
I am a red hot flame guy and I think since my name is Scotty someone is going to BEAM me up real quick. Foster Mom says I am pretty purrrfect but I need to tell you about me. I am only about 1 &1/2 years old. I am front paw declaw. I have excellent manners and I very easy going. I just LOVE everyone. I have never met a stranger. I love to play but I also like to snuggle. Foster mom is mushy and holds me like a baby and kiss my face and tickles my tummy.
She says I wont have to wait too long for that furever home. I hope that home is with you!

Butterscotch was perfect for us. We feel like he loves us both the same---no favorites!! He is doing very well. We play with him a lot, & talk to him all the time whether he understands or not. He has good manners but still tests us every now & then to see if maybe we forgot counter tops are a no no. It's only been a month but it seems like he's always been here. He was meant to be ours & I'm so glad I was able to adopt him.
We can't believe its been 6 months since we brought home our little bundle of joy. He still jumps on the counters but I think its to be with me when I'm preparing dinner. I just wash my hands & put him down with a "no". He's really a spoiled brat (our fault of course). He is always with one of us. Follows us around like a dog.
He loves to go out on the screened in lanai & terrorized the little lizards. He's had his first sleepover! He brought in a lizard one day & it must have gone under the sofa. We couldn't find it & assumed it ran out the door but Scotty had it under the kitchen table the next morning--still alive & very grateful when I put it back outside the lanai. I am glad he only plays with them & doesn't eat them. He's brought in frogs too.
We celebrated his 2nd birthday---his godmother brought him treats. He has gained weight---is about 14 lbs. now.
I often wonder if he would like a playmate, but we are usually here to entertain him & besides, I can't imagine there is another one just as sweet. I am so glad I browsed your website last summer & found him. We love him.
Scotty is doing great---can't believe its been a year already. He has a playmate now from a local shelter. I checked Siamese Rescue first but there wasn't a declawed cat available near his age that was transportable. Ollie is 5 years old and they believe he is a Turkish Van. His fur is like a rabbit--if you google that breed it looks like him. It didn't take them long (like 2 days) to accept each other. Just a lot of hissing & growling the first night. I was extremely careful that Scotty would be ok with this & would have returned Ollie but they are good.
Scotty had his checkup last month because we had a flea problem & the normal topical treatments didn't work on him & the fleas really liked him best!!! We had to give them Comfortis & I am hoping it is not harming their health in the long run. We even had Terminex spray the lanai area for fleas but are keeping them in for a while because the vet said the fleas are really bad this year.
I sent an email to Shirley after I got Ollie but didn't receive a response. Hope she is ok & just very busy.
Scotty is still a very sweet little boy & we are very glad to have 2 really good cats that get along well.
Scotty is doing great--sweet as ever. We are snow birds now & on our drive from FL to MD he waved to Shirly Bo in NC!! It feels like he"s always been with us & is a very good boy.
Scotty is doing very well & as lovable as ever. We are so happy we found him & vice versa! He had his checkup in MD this year & the new vet thought he was such a love. He's so easy to get along with. Can't say enough good about him. We love him.

NIAMH
Senior Sweetheart Seeks Retirement Home
I am a super sweet geezer who just wants to cuddle, purr, and get pet all day! I like to investigate and sniff around from time to time, and looking out the window is fun too, but mostly I just want a nice quiet place to hang out with someone willing to give me lots of love and attention. I love to lounge around on lots of soft pillows and blankets and cuddle with my people. Other animals might be OK if they keep to themselves and let me have lots and lots of time with the people.
I love to climb on you and rub on you, and I am a big kneader who loves to purr - I will let you know when I am happy! I may not be too playful, but I am great at hunting the humans in the house down to let them know I need some attention!
If you are looking for a sweet retiree to spend some quality snuggle time with then I can't wait to meet you! Bonus points if you have some seafood flavored food or treats for me, I love those!

Thanks for asking how things are going with my new girl. Things have been a bit hectic here since she arrived because her brother Fergus was diagnosed with diabetes the week she arrived, and a few days later her brother Aengus had to go to the Veterinary emergency clinic late at night for a mysterious ailment. All is calm now and I can focus on the integration, which is going slowly but well.
I must say I believe I won the jackpot when I adopted Yum Yum. She is a delight. Talkative, interactive, smart, spunky. Her appetite has improved greatly and she now eats food with chicken in it; I wonder if she was so picky because of her teeth? My vet checked her over and felt her oral surgery had healed well.
I've changed her name, by the way. I give my cats Irish names and so she has become Niamh (pronounced Neeve) and answers to that name, comes when called. Her brothers, especially Aengus, want to be friends, but she warned them off with loud hisses when I first began introductions. She has progressed to sniffing noses with them, then drawing back and hissing. They don't respond! Aengus in fact seems disappointed. He chirps and trills at her and she is warming slightly to him.
She insists on sleeping with me, which is fine, but has effectively taken over the upstairs of my apartment, banishing the boys from that part of the house for the most part. They do leave her "messages" by using "her" litterbox, though, as well as theirs in the bathroom. She is reluctant to come downstairs to the ground floor but we are working on that. She comes down the stairs though, pokes her head through the bannister, and watches her brothers, and also talks loudly to me. I am going to try to upload some pictures of her in her new home.
Thank you for reminding me of my girl's first "Gotcha!" anniversary! Niamh is doing marvelously well. What a difference a year makes! At first she claimed the upstairs of my townhouse, afraid to come downstairs where her brudders hung out. Well, she has now claimed the downstairs, and the boys have moved their headquarters upstairs. They do travel down to the main floor to check out the food bowls and window action (birds! woodchucks! squirrels!) but this is clearly Niamh's territory now. I miss her sleeping with me, though, upstairs. She has had her annual physical, and we have increased her thyroid medication, which has helped her heart rate and weight. She is a very talkative and interactive girl, loves visitors, and enjoys snuggling in my lap. I love her to bits. I'm going to post some recent pictures to show how she's acclimated to her new home in Maine.
