Adoption Tails: Cindy Clawford's Acting Litter

 Cindy Clawford

1 day: Cindy is still pretty shy but she has been eating/drinking and used her litter tray. She even purred last night. She was very vocal during night time though, causing the owner to check in to her several times.

1 week: The family has bonded with Cindy well. She has her favourite armchair in the living room.

3 weeks: Cindy has been vomiting quite frequently, the owner thinks it might be because she is eating too quickly. She usually vomits within 30min of eating with lots of abdominal push involved. If the owner is home, they will give her tiny portions throughout the day and Cindy is OK that way. They will also try out some DIY food puzzles and scattering dry food in a cardboard box to slow down her eating as per suggested. 

1 month: Cindy's vomiting is under control for now. They would love for Cindy's story to be shared. 

Naomi Catbell, now Bunty

1 day: Naomi settled in just fine at home. She's got loads of toys to play with and various spots and corners to explore and hide/rest. The wife and two daughters absolutely adore her. "Thank you so much for all your help on the other day!"

No further response. Her name has been changed to Bunty when she boarded with SAFE at the end of May. 

Indiana Ginge

1 day: They are doing well. Both have eaten and used the litter and drinking water! They're still getting used to each other but not anything too bad. There hasn't been any physical fist fights so far, just rumbling growls. "All talk and no action thankfully." Indiana will stay Indiana (suits his adventurous nature!) and Michelle is now August, Augie for short.

 1 week: The introduction process has gone super well! Indiana and August are getting along well and the introduction to the resident cat has been super good as well.

 1 month: Indiana and Nico are doing so well! Fully settled in together with the resident cat Jin. They are growing well and are super sweet and cheeky!

Rufus Mewell, now Bean

1 day: Rufus (now Bean!) is settling in really well. His safe space is the owner's 15 year old daughter's room - as she has two adjoining rooms and plenty of space. He has been eating his meals very enthusiastically and using the litter tray perfectly. The daughter adores him and she has had a steady stream of her friends visiting to meet him so he's had lots of attention! The family has so far only introduced their dogs (two older Border Collies) for very short bursts and when he is in the safe hands of the daughter. The dogs are pretty unconcerned and have had a sniff around and then they are taken out. Bean, however, is terrified of the dogs and spits when he sees them! The family has given Bean some things of the dogs to get used to their smell and will continue to introduce them very slowly so he learns not to fear them. They are confident that a slow introduction will allow Bean to get used to them as they are gentle dogs and smart enough to know if the family is cuddling something, they need to love it too. All in all very successful and the daughter is over the moon with Bean.

 1 week: Bean is settling in well and he has certainly been exploring the rest of the house! Always under supervision at the moment but the dogs have been very good with him and he came face to face with Snow today who wagged his tail and the two practically touched noses, so cute! Bean still spits at the dogs sometimes but is gradually doing it less. He is obsessed with food, has found the cupboard where the family keeps the dog treats and has been trying to open it! He licks the empty dog bowls when he comes into the kitchen. He is very playful and inquisitive and now that he knows there's a whole house outside of his safe rooms, he's keen to explore at any opportunity. All in all, Bean is doing great!

1 month: Bean is doing great and has firmly established his place in the family already! He is getting along fine with the dogs now and has learnt that Snow is a gentle soul - even touching noses with him - so cute! He knows that their older girl Lulu can be a little grumpy so he has learnt to give her space and in turn she is much more comfortable around him. He has explored the whole house now and had his first Nexguard Spectra the other day for ticks, worms etc. The family got him a little harness for exploring the garden but he really hates it - so this afternoon their daughter brought him out in the garden while they were all out there and he enjoyed exploring with caution. He didn't attempt to run away and came back inside when called. Bean is still in his safe two rooms when nobody is home but eventually this will change and they plan to buy him an airtag for him as a precaution! He will be well loved and well looked after in his furever home!

Cillian Meowphy

1 day: The owner will be keeping his name as Cillian. He is settling in fine and is super curious of the resident cat. Sadly, the resident cat does not want anything to do with Cillian so there is lots of hissing at the door at the moment. The introduction process is going very, very slowly. Cillian is eating, sleeping and using the litterbox, the only issue being that he eats too quickly and then vomits. The owner will try out a few tips (smaller but more frequent meals & scattering dry kibble in a large cardboard box) and see how he goes over the next couple of days.

1 week: Cillian is settling in perfectly fine. The owner's resident cat has accepted Cillian and they have been grooming and playing with each other every day.

1 month: Cillian has changed so much since coming to his forever home. He has fully integrated with the resident cat now and he has completed the owner's little family of three.
