Adoption Tails: Johnny, Aladdin

 Mack, previously Johnny

1 day: He’s doing really well. Very quiet and smoochy. Lots of purrs and love bites. He hasn’t eaten much but is drinking and toileting fine. A few hisses at the other cats and dog under the door which is normal. But he doesn’t seem to be too stressed about anything. The owner has renamed him ‘Mack’.

Johnny = Mack, 1 day

1 week: Mack is doing really well. Still a few hisses here and there at the resident cats and dog but no actual confrontations. He is a very funny little man. Super affectionate and sassy. Very big voice! "I love him." The owner thinks he will be fine, just needs a little longer for all the pets to get to know each other.

Mack and dog, 1 month

1 month: Mack has certainly made himself at home now. He is an absolute crack up. Very boisterous and cheeky and insanely greedy. "He is mad and I love him".

Toshi, previously Aladdin

 1 day: Aladdin is settling in beautifully. He wasn’t keen to stay in his safe room and he had been out roaming and playing. He is very affectionate, gentle and inquisitive. He is eating and drinking (preferably from the owner's glass of water). The family loves him! They are working through names at the moment and will be deciding on one over dinner tonight. He’s used the litter tray as well as a couple of other spots in the house (He’s only toileted on the family's old dog’s bed so the owner thinks it may have been marking more than anything else. They will keep him in his safe place (the laundry) with short periods out in the connected lounge area.

1 week: Toshi is the perfect kitten. He is confident and curious, chilled and playful. Knows where his toilet is which makes for a happy cat mum and has been exploring the house.

1 month: Toshi rules the roost! He is divine and the whole family loves him dearly. He loves exploring the backyard (under supervision) and to play with leaves which he brings in from outside throughout the day. He's started taking to the wife's pillow early in the morning and licking her forehead. His favourite spot to sleep is still on the wife's desk while she works. They will have a golden retriever puppy arriving in 3 weeks, so that will be a transition for Toshi but they have done the research to introduce the two mindfully and carefully. The family will make sure the pup "knows who's boss". Toshi will also have access to areas of the house the puppy will not, so he can feel secure and safe. The family is so happy Toshi came into their lives. "Thank you SAFE for bringing us together and for raising him with love until he was ready to join our family."
