When he hears the jingle of Max's collar then he hides under the sofa, he does come out though when Max is not around and is getting braver with everyday, at how long he waits before he jets for the couch. He is very lovable mostly at night and in the early morning when I am getting ready for the day.

The other kitty already at their house has not appreciated the decision quite so much, but her and Frieda have, in Bill's words, agreed to disagree. The kitties mostly try to stay out of each other's way, and with a good size home, that seems to work out ok. Our thank yous go out to Peggy and Bill for making room n their hearts for Frieda, and for giving Frieda the permanent home she was looking for!

We are just thrilled that Wendell has found a perfect forever home! Wendell needed very much to be an only kitty, since he is very unsure of himself around other cats and therefore gets very defensive and tends to hide most of the day. So we were looking for a very special home for him. Mary adopted him as a companion for her Dad who had been alone, and now welcomed the new addition to his home. Mary tells us that things are going well, and that Wendell seems to love being the center of attention. Thank you to Mary for caring enough to help both Wendell and her dad!

Sophie (foster name Marigold) was born into foster care on May 5, 2003. She was adopted out to a loving family in September of 2003. Thank you Kathy for giving this little girl such a wonderful home! The following is from Sophie's new family... ."Sophie is doing great. She snuggles with Alvin (kitty brother) at night and they play and sleep together and have become great buds. She really likes her food and LOVES the cat napper I have at the window in my bedroom. I have a fluffy blanket there and she cuddles up and sleeps there. I can tell you spent a lot of time playing with her and socializing her because she isn't afraid of people or animals. She is a sassy little girl! I love it. She isn't afraid of anything. She goes to Alvin to clean her ears! It's the cutest. I gave her a bath and she was really cute in the tub. Alvin loves water so he gladly joined her for a bath and when I dried her she fluffed all out - she is even cuter. She has taken over the house. She is the ruler now and Alvin follows her around. She has taken over HIS window bed, drinks HIS water, wants HIS food and took HIS spot on the couch. He doesn't mind though. I think he likes it."

She has a new name - Sammy for Samantha. Pete and Sammy have not stopped playing since she got here last night. She never hid and they are not hissing at each other. I am soooo glad she has come to live with us. She is just adorable and Pete loves her. They follow each other everywhere. Sammy is still eating very well. She is very loving. Thanks again for bringing such a little light into our lives!"
