GOOD MEWS MONDAY!!! Congrats to our TEN kitties that went home last week! Finn, Heidi, Hannah, Wendy, Duncan, Baby, Sporty, Ginger, CC, and Riley we are so happy for you and thankful that your forever family picked YOU!
Finn fathered quite a few kittens before he was trapped and neutered by ARC. We expected him to be feral (or at least not interested in a home), when he came in for vetting. However, he immediately let us know that he was very interested in the comforts of a loving home! Although he charmed everyone who met him, it took some time for him to find his forever home. It was worth the wait though! Now, his mom reports that he is a super social kitty who continues to charm visitors and he is the talk of the community!
Heidi and Hannah were rescued by one of our amazing volunteers from an abandoned building. They were not quite sure they could trust humans, so it took some time in different foster homes to build their trust in humans. They finally came around, and moved into a room at ARC… where they met their family! Hannah, the more outgoing of the two, really laid it on thick and her family knew they were the kitties for them. Heidi takes cues from Hannah, so she’s settling in and will soon be soliciting snuggles from her loving family!
Wendy was found in the parking lot of a local fast-food place (can you guess which one? Let us know in the comments!). She was alone and scared, so she went straight to one of our best foster homes! She slowly learned to trust people and her foster family did so well, she soon found herself at the PetSmart Adoption Center! This is where her family saw her and fell in love! She is still a little shy, but an absolute sweetheart and her family saw that in her and is now so excited to have her in their home!
Duncan was found as a stray and was too sweet to send back to the streets after being neutered. He would “talk” to us all day long and let us know that he really wanted to find his forever home! Duncan got his chance to go to PetSmart and didn’t waste any time, he landed a wonderful home where he is the center of attention and can soak up all the love!
Baby and her sisters (The Spice Girls litter) came to ARC as young kittens and landed in a wonderful foster home! They all went to PetSmart to find their forever families and they knocked it out of the park! This popular crew had the applications pouring in! Posh went home last week, and Baby and her other two sisters all went home this week! Baby gets to share her home with a loving human family and two other kitty siblings!
Sporty (another Spice Girl kitty) found her family at PetSmart. They recently moved to the area and are ready to add a kitty to their family! She bonded quickly with “dad” and the rest is history! Sporty is a fun-loving kitty who enjoys people of all ages, other cats and dogs. She’ll love her new home, human and furry family members!
Ginger (the last Spice Girl kitty) also found her family at PetSmart. She is super lovable and adores her new mom! She is going to love being the center of attention and soaking up all the love for herself! We are so happy these girls all found their homes so quickly!
CC was living at a training area on Fort Knox, she and some of her kittens were trapped and fixed. However, for their safety, they could not go back out to the area they were living, so ARC took them in. They were all thought to be feral, or at least not interested in being an indoor kitty, so the plan was to acclimate them to ARC and then give them the opportunity to live freely with our other kitties. CC surprised us all, not only with how friendly she was, but by how quickly she trusted us and soon even strangers. She even got the chance to go to PetSmart, where she met her family! They spent a little time with her and realized she was the newest member of the family!
Riley came to us from Operation CatSnip after he and another kitty (Turbo-adopted!) tested positive for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV). Since we have a dedicated room to house FeLV+ kitties, we took them in. Riley is a sweet boy who loves the attention and affection of people. He also enjoys the company of his furry siblings in his forever home! We are so happy to see Riley and other FeLV+ kitties find their forever homes because they are the absolute sweetest cats!
