Just wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know how well crouton is adjusting to her new life in Baltimore - she is very happy and we are getting along wonderfully. She truly is everything I was looking for - she is such a sweetheart, my roommate and I love her very, very much. Thank you for the additional pictures, it's fun to see how much she's grown already! I will certainly stay in touch, but I just wanted you to know how thankful I am for your efforts. I love waking up each morning knowing that little crouton will be there to enjoy the day with - and that would most definitely not be possible if not for your work - thank you!

Max has totally adopted us - including Fred - and nobody is happier than Fred!  It took some time but now if Fred says "Where's Max", he appears . . from a nap, different room, etc.  He has grown so much but still looks little compared to Hampton.  We put a collar on him as we are heading to our Long Island house later this week for two weeks and I want him to be used to it before we go.  We put a tag on each cat with the phone number (and name) where we are headed so if something unforeseen happens, we can be reached.  I'm not sure how the car ride will go for Max but all of our other cats have adapted pretty well and seem to know that it is okay as long as we are with them.  Obviously they each have a cage so they won't escape and we keep them in the cages until we get in the hotel room - or the house.  I'll let you know when we get back how Max likes the car.  He adapts to everything else pretty well - including the collar - so he should be fine.  Thanks again for giving us a wonderful pet.  I'm sure he is happy you saved him from the wild. Keep up the good work on the cat rescues . . we have a winner.    Sandy Owen

Hi Mary,  we are all doing fine.  Mindigo (Tabetha) has settled in very nicely.  She and Oleana get along very well and seem to be good company for one another.  They are forever chasing each other around and then wrestling.  I think Amberleigh is now very glad to have another sister; it means that Oleana pretty much leaves her alone now.  Mindigo is very easy going, loving and a great pastry chef.  She is forever making her mama biscuits.  I have kept her on the Purina One Healthy Diet food and she has probably lost some weight.  I don’t imagine she put it on all at once, so this will be a slow, steady process.  Were you ever able to get Churchill adopted?  I will give my girls kisses from you.  Oleana really is a delight and I love her more and more.  Again, I have to say that anyone who passed her up just because she was black missed out on a terrific little one!!

Mary,
I’ve been at my computer this morning and as usual, Bandit has plopped himself down (sometimes right on top of the keyboard) on my desk.  I just had to let you know how wonderful he is.  The kids often say how sweet and well-adjusted he has become (they take full credit).  He started out as such a little rascal (as we know, he wasn’t raised by you) and now he is the first one to look for attention as soon as we sit down or walk in the door.  He has very little voice – he chirps more than meows and he doesn’t have Fergie’s jumping ability or balance.  Lucky for her!  It’s her only defense when Bandit wants to play.  She runs for the kitchen stools to escape.  We all read the recent article about your sweet teen volunteers – so nice to hear that all is well.  Thank you for our precious cats!! – Devon Witt
