Adoption Tails: Puss, Macadamia, Smudge, Cocoa

 Puss aka George

1 day: His owner has just gotten home and has given George some wet food. He is doing well. He had a few accidents in the carrier on the way home so they had to wash him. He is friendly and happy. “He is happy to walk around the apartment and likes to sit on the couch”

2 days: “All he does is sleep. He’s sooooo happy!” He seems ravenous so they had to feed him more than the recommended amount of dry food. He met the owner’s partner for the first time today and they get along great. “I am really really happy he’s an amazing cat I am so blessed.”

 3 days: They tried the bed but George was greatly offended when they took him off the bed (as he was on their partner’s side).

1 week: “He’s soooo happy. All he does is sleep, eat and cuddle. He’s amazing. I feel truly blessed to have him. He’s such a happy chilled cat. He’s very easy pleased.”

1.5 months: “George is amazing”. He was a bit unwell for a few days with digestive issues. “He seems to have allergies to food bless him”. He was boarding at the vet when his owners were on a cruise and is all good now. He’s been home for a week and hasn’t vomited since. “He’s such a fun cat and loves cuddles. He gets brushed morning and night and loves it. He meditates with me every morning which I love.

 I’m very allergic which is disappointing, but in the process of figuring that out. He is very loved and seems so happy and he’s the best decision I have ever made.”

“My partner, the same guy who said “we aren’t cat people baby” has bought him a blanket and absolutely adores him.

 Smudge, aka Walter Smudge

1 day: He has settled in well! He has been renamed Walter Smudge. After a few hours, he was very friendly and bold. He is also comfortable. He has started exploring the house under supervision. He has eaten, drunk and used the litter. He stays in his owners’ room at night and is very affectionate.

1 week: “Walter is now the overlord of the family. He has explored other parts of the house with supervision. He is very affectionate. He is used to new guests and all the loud noises etc. And he loves watching TV.”

Walter Smudge, 1 week

1 month: “Officially we live in Walters house now. He is very affectionate.” The vet said he is possibly half Maine Coon. “The only concern I have is that if we go away we might not be able to cat board him as he is very involved in everything we do!”

Macadamia aka Champers

2 days: He’s doing quite well and knows the house because they were his foster family. He immediately settled back in after being returned a few months ago. His name is Champers. He can jump up onto furniture but can struggle to get down. He can jump onto the couch by himself but often uses a box to get onto other pieces of furniture. They have multiple cats already and a dog, but Champers is the only cat who gets along with their dog, who loves Champers to pieces. Champers is always hungry so they monitor him constantly.

Cocoa, aka Coco

1.5 weeks: Coco is great. They decided to keep her name but shorten it from Cocoa to Coco. “She’s such a sweetie.” She’s still a bit scared and unsure of noises, such as when the neighbours come in and out of their place. She’s been keen to come out of her room so she’s been exploring the apartment a few times in the morning and evening. “She’s active in the morning and evening for cuddles and stays in her little safe spot during the day.” She’s very affectionate with the owner and their husband when she does come out. “Lots of head butts and tummy rubs! We’re both in love and at her mercy already”. She moved into a bookshelf on the first night so they made it cozy for her.

Coco(a). 1.5 weeks

1 month and 1 week: “Coco is amazing and really settling in well.” Coco is showing signs of heat so she is getting desexed tomorrow. “A bit sad that we have to upset her so soon but hopefully she will forgive us.” She snuggles in with her owner every morning and evening but is still a bit unsure of their husband. “She likes to sleep in an empty drawer under our bed in the daytime, so we’ve made it comfortable for her and that’s her safe place now!” They're hoping she can still fit into this spot when she has her cone on after surgery. 

Coco(a), 1 month + 1 week

 1.5 months: “Coco is much better with my husband now and is starting to chill around him. She nuzzles when he comes to her but runs away if he stands up. She even curled up beside him when he was sleeping one day which he loved to hear!”
