Oh how I love this boy!! Katerina checked in this Thanksgiving to let me know that the big boy made himself at home and has settled in without any problems. Thank you Katerina for letting him be part of your family.
UPDATE:
Hi Dot,
I just wanted to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving from all of us — including Panther. He’s doing really well. He already feels at home, with a few little quirks, but I’m sure time will take care of those.
Thank you so much for trusting me with such a beautiful, gentle boy... I even trimmed his nails this morning.:)

Just love this picture of Frank on his throne!!! Don't let him fool you though, he is only trying to be the king, rumour has it that it isn't working well for him. Thank you Rachel for the chuckle this morning.

Eileen sent this picture of her beloved Moo after seeing his new groomer!! Just look at how well his Mickey Mouse patch looks today! I was very happy to see it the first time as it was a clue that he was meant to head to Florida with Eileen from the very begining. We all 💜'd that little devil from day one!!! Thank you Eileen for your friendship with me all these years and all the love you give to them!

And this is why I will never remove my indoor only clause from my contracts! I know of a few people that have ignored that clause in the past and I hope you get to read this. Not sure how this poor cat got outside but PLEASE know that there isn't any reason for any cat these days to be indoor/outdoor or even put their feet on the ground. Even just taking them out on a leash can infect them with tapeworms and a lot of other things out there by licking their feet including meeting up with wildlife like this eagle. Thank you Patty for bringing my attention to this.

Prevue Pet Products Premium Cat Cage Playpen, Black

Just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone was looking for a small animal cage. I bought this in April 2024 for $400 from Chewy and since I am reducing numbers I do not need it any longer. I am asking $200 for it. You would have to pick it up but it is not heavy and is on wheels. It can also be taken apart if you want to put it back together.
The listing on Chewy with all the specs is

I recieved the email I have been waiting patiently for from Katerina this morning! Panther has officially made the tranistion into Katerina's heart and home. He looks like he is getting along with the resident cats and I cannot thank Katerina enough for taking the big goof ball in and making him a happy CF retiree in his forever home!
UPDATE:
Hi Dot,
hope you had a great weekend! As you probably guessed, Panther is officially home. He’s still adjusting, but the big anxiety is gone — we are now entering “Stage Two: Learning the Routine.”
I absolutely love him, and he’s not shy about letting me know he trusts me… what more could I possibly want?
Thank you, Dot — I’ll keep sending you little Panther updates here and there!

Katerina sent this picture of Panther to me this morning and I think things are going to work out for him under her patient and very good care. He is eating well and enjoying the good life right now, keep up the good work with him and keep in touch! This picture was taken only 2 weeks into his rehoming adjustment period. It didn't take him as long as I thought to get to this stage. Some things make me very happy albeit a bit sad. I always miss my retirees when the time is right to have them thrive in a loving pet home. But I know in my heart it is the best thing for them.

Today's update is thanks to Patty!!! She has a house full with Boston, Aspen, Fenway and of course Charlie. Sounds like she is keeping up with them and has enough love to spread all 4 ways. Thank you Patty with the updates and pictures!!! Keep up the good work with them. (Check out the big belly in Charlie!!)
UPDATE:
Hi Dot,

Look at the boys!!! ❤️🐈‍⬛. They just love hanging out by the front door. As you can see, Charlie and Fenway love to be together . Aspen is always supervising everything that goes on. Boston still steers clear of their nonsense and loves the quiet, the sunshine and Max.

You will see the laundry helpers- Aspen and Charlie 😂. Aspen is a part of all projects in the house and checks in all visitors. He always leads the kitties when someone new enters the house. He is definitely the alpha and protector of all ❤️.

Charlie is beyond adorable and has endless energy. He eats like I have never seen a kitty eat all while snorting and purring unless one of the boys approaches his bowl- then he actually growls!!! It’s hysterical 😂. He doesn’t do it much anymore because they all know better. When he was tiny, he would growl ( and then purr) and scare the big boys away.

Our house is filled with love, purring and a little bit of a funny farm ❤️🐈‍⬛. We love our boys!

Sending lots of love to you. Thank you for our beautiful kitties.
Patty & the boys ❤️

This girl is Panther's granddaughter and Smudges baby out of her first litter. Hard to believe that was 3 and half years ago that i was up all night delivering her! Thank you Shannon for the adorable picture and keeping in touch!!
UPDATE:
Hi Dot!

I honestly just wanted to send in a picture of Poppy that was cute. :)
