Adoption Tails: Quick turnarounds

 Garfield, adopted Nov 11, 2021

Garfield was a kitten found on street by a Good Samaritan. He came to SH on Oct 3.

Grafield/Mr Darcy

3 days: Garfield now called Mr Darcy is doing great. He hid under the bed for the first day as expected but was eating and toileting fine. He is now very keen to explore the house but always comes back to his favourite pillow. Sometimes he is still skittish with the rest of the family, but he is happy to get belly rubs from his adopter. He has become very playful and is very loved already.
1 week: Mr Darcy is still doing great. He is more confident and loves to do a little trill when he greets his adopter.

Mr Darcy/Garfield

1 month: Mr Darcy is doing really well. His personality has come out & he is very chatty. He loves everybody. They may get him a companion down the track... but not yet…

Schnitty, adopted Nov 16, 2021

Surrendered to SH Aug 29 with a sore eye. Eventually we realised that his eyelid was turning in and his eyelashes were scratching his eye. That was operated on and he recovered well.
1 day: Schnitty is going well, eating and drinking. He has his own room as is very, very cuddly.
1 week: Ower says all good. Beautiful photos have been sent. 

Schnitty at home

4 weeks:  Schnity is sneezing every now and then. Janice says she was advised that he is clear of cat flu. She was told that every rescue cat has most likely been exposed of cat flu but that a few sneezes here and there are nothing to worry about.

Cherry 823, adopted Nov 14, 2021 

Came from Good Samaritan on Oct 31. As a beautiful grey tortie we didn't expect her to last long. She was adopted twice in the two weeks she was with us and the second one stuck.

Cherry

1 day: Cherry is doing really well. She is being kept in one section of the house whilst settling in, but she is already interested in exploring. She has found herself some hiding spots and is eating really well. She has not been introduced to the dog yet as they want her to be comfortable first. Our fact sheet to help with the introduction was recommended.
1 week: Cherry has now explored the whole house and roams up and down. She has also met the family dog and they are generally fine with one another. She is a good eater.
1 month: Cherry is doing great. She has completely settled in.
