Juanita Valdez
We asked Anthea (one of the adoption volunteers) to recommend a cat a few years ago, and we took her advice and adopted Tessa. We had been considering getting another cat or kitten, and since Anthea was so spot on with her recommendation of Tessa, we asked who she thought would do well with the kids, Tessa, and our dog. She recommended Juanita (now Mabel). Mabel wants to be friends with everyone. She wants to be with people and the other pets. Our other cat is being timid, but that doesn't stop Mabel from going up to her. She even rubbed her cheek against Piper, our dog, in greeting. She loves being petted and played with. Her purr motor goes on the moment we go up to her. Mabel is good about being picked up and cuddled. The two nights she has been here, she slept next to me. She only spent a small amount of time under the bed when she first got here, but her curiousity got the best of her and she has spent the rest of the time wandering around the house and acts like she has always been here. Mabel is definitely a keeper! We are so happy we got her. UPDATE: Mabel and Tessa sleep together sometimes now. It only took a short time for Mabel to win her over. She loves running around and playing, but also has a super loud purr that starts when you go near her, and keeps getting louder as she gets attention and pettings, or is being held. The whole family (pets included) is happy to have her. ~Linnea
Jackie
She is possibly the sweetest cat I've ever had, and none of us regret picking her. As you can see (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBbqaqAnQvM
), she's doing great, and she's just as full of energy as you said she was. We are all loving her, including my husband! We have renamed her Lillie. ~Rochelle
Julia
Julia has been renamed Mia. Mia has a sweet, gentle personality. She is rather shy but will come out for anyone if they fly the feather wand for her! She chatters continuously when I am on the phone. Her sleeping spot is usually under my left arm. Mia and Arlo play together, groom each other, and sleep side by side. Arlo even shares me with her. She is a perfect fit into our household. ~Jo
