Adoption Tails: Lyra, Leon, Donatella and McQueen

Lyra (now Kaori)

1 day: The owners have renamed Lyra to Kaori. She seems to be settling in well, ventured out of the sunroom last night and explored the apartment. She has been eating, drinking and using her litter. A bit shy still, loves looking out the window.

1 week: She seems well settled now - a member of the household, loves to sit or lie down next to the owners. It's only been a week so the owner feels like she'll get even more friendlier and familiar with them over time.

 1 month: Kaori has been great. The owner thinks she's completely settled in now, loves to sit with them on the couch and lie beside/underneath when the owner is at his desk. Kaori's always kneading one blanket a few times a day. Loves to be petted but only when she wants/allows it. 

She has also claimed the owner's bedside cup of water as hers... Kaori seems like she's put on a bit of weight so the owner is thinking of reducing her dry food a little bit.

 

Leon

Leon

 1 day: Leon was very unsettled on his first night, very vocal and wanted company all night but went to sleep in the morning. He hid at first then came out and ate, used the litter perfectly and checked out the whole house. He does not want to stay in his quiet room but seems to want company. The owner thinks he is really missing his old family and home. He is much better today. The owner will keep his name.

1 week: Leon seems very happy. He settled in after 2 days, found his favourite places and foods and likes to be around the owners. He is very affectionate and lovely. He is also surprisingly fit and loves a good play! The owners are very happy to have him.

 

1 month: Leon is going great. He has been a real surprise! The first two weeks, he was affectionate, quiet, liked company and slept on the owner's bed. There was a change to his food and Leon became hyperactive, craving food, running wildly. His energy was scary, knocking things down at 2am, up again demanding food at 5am. The owner took him to the vet and the blood test results indicated that he is totally healthy and his thyroids levels are fine. The owner changed Leon's food again (no seafood) and he returned to his lovely well-mannered self. He still plays a lot and does zoomies like a kitten so the owner has added more toys and play with him a lot. He is a sweet cuddlebug and a lovely addition to the family. "Thank you to SAFE for Leon!"

Donatella & McQueen

Doantella and McQueen

1 week: They're both doing very well, McQueen is on his way to becoming nice and cuddly already, Donatella is taking a bit longer to settle in but the owner is confident she will in time.

1 month: They're doing really well! Both have really come out of their shells and loves pats. McQueen even sleep right by the owners' heads in bed at night with the loudest purrs they've ever heard. They have so much personality and the owners love them so much already!
