Adoption Tails: Harley and Quinn, Heidi and Axel

 Harley

 1 day: She’s doing ok. She’s still a little shy and still likes her safe place. She’s eating well and using the litter box with no problems. They will be keeping her name.

Harley

1 week: “She's well and truly settled in. Definitely comfortable around the whole house now. Playing with the laser at the moment.”

5 weeks: She is doing well. The vet recommended feeding her more dry food than wet but it didn't agree with her stomach so they’re back to the way it was before but more of a balance. She's burning a lot more energy in a two-storey house.

Quinn

1 week: Quinn has done very well. She was happy to explore outside her safe from quite early. “She has a very healthy appetite.”

2 weeks: “She’s not shy anymore at all”

6 weeks: “We are doing well, Quinn is a very affectionate kitten. She loves the tunnel and scratching post playhouse they bought her. She lives inside and her owner thinks they’ll keep it that way long-term. She is now sitting on her owner’s lap while they’re studying.

Quinn

Heidi, now Cookie

3 days: “She’s settling in well.” She has used the litter tray and has been both eating and drinking. She has been renamed Cookie.

Heidi, now Cookie

1.5 weeks: “She’s settling in very well”. She explores the whole house and her safe room is now her bedroom.

5 weeks: no response

Axel, now Popcorn

2 days: “Everything is good! His new name is pop corn and he likes sleep on my belly”. They haven’t seen him go to the toilet actively but if they put him in the litter tray, he will use it.

Axel

 4 days: They’ve bought a few scratchers and have put them on the floor. They also have vertical scratching areas on the cat tree. He doesn’t like using them and prefers to scratch on the carpet. He doesn’t seem to realise how to use the scratching post yet so they will watch him and guide him. They have already trimmed his nails when he’s sleepy. “He is a purring machine when we play with him”

1.5 weeks: He runs around in the living room every night. His owners say he is an “energetic boy”. “He plays and eats normally, and loves playing with us.”

Axel

 5 weeks: “Everything is well!”
