Maggie
4 days: Maggie has been under the bed in the spare room for 4 days. She is eating well, using her litter tray, and comes out at night to have her treats. Her owner talks to her and has a 5 minute playtime with a fluffy toy on a stick but she doesn’t respond. Her owner won’t be changing her name - Maggie has gotten to know her owner when she’s volunteering at SAFE. “I love her so much.”
1.5 weeks: Maggie comes out of her hiding spot since the toys are always in a different place. Maggie also finds the treats her owner hides in her room. She likes the water fountain and is eating well but isn’t coming out yet. Her owner spends time trying to entice her out with feather toys. Maggie’s owner heard all sorts of strange noises in the bedroom last night and saw it was Maggie exploring. Her owner walked into their bedroom and Maggie was lying on the bed. She became anxious when she felt cornered between her owner and the door. She meowed very sweetly and ran back to her safe room. “She is such a sweetie”. Maggie’s safe room has places for her to hide in - they're soft and fluffy and have dangly toys.
2 weeks: “Maggie is still under the bed. She came out yesterday when I took in her breakfast then looked at me gave a little meow and went back under the bed. I hate that she is so afraid.” Her owner was considering getting a little kitten to keep her company. “I even dream about her! I will be over the moon when she walks around and knows I will do anything for her.”
5 weeks: “I am delighted with her progress. She still likes to spend her day under the bed with various toys but explores and plays around the house at night. This morning I tried feeding her in the family room but she wasn’t comfortable there so went back to her usual spot. She lets me pat her, rub her ears and back and purrs so loudly. She is very talkative and constantly rubs against me. I haven’t tried picking her up for a cuddle. I think that is a long way off. She knows her name and is so sweet and loving. I adore her.”
Loki
1 day: He is settling in very well and is also very playful. He has been introduced to other rooms in the house because he constantly stood outside the door and he seems fine with it. He is eating and drinking well too. He had some problems with his litter box but is not using it.
1 week: Loki has been exploring his environment. He has moved out of his safe room and has started to explore the rest of the house. He is hesitant to snuggle with the family, but his owner thinks he needs more time for him to feel safe.

| Loki, 1 week |
7 weeks: They put a harness on Loki and he’s constantly trying to take it off himself. “He is also just a tiny bit sad.” His owners want to get him used to the harness because they plan on taking him for walks. They’ve also made sure that the harness is loose so he can breathe. “He was just very curious and every time we opened the door to go outside, he always wanted to come with us and stood there meowing and watching.”

2.5 months: “Everything with Loki is going very well.”
Atlas now Casper
1 day: “Atlas seems to be settling in very well to the safe room from what we've seen! Surprisingly he's been very affectionate and meows a lot when we leave the room. He is eating and drinking but usually only in small amounts (around half the bowl of food and water is normal). He's only used the litter twice since being brought home and I'm not sure if that's normal though. He's been a bit sneezy but not today thankfully. We are planing on renaming him but we're still deciding on a name.”

| Atlas now Casper |
1.5 weeks: Casper has been having some flu symptoms. “He's suddenly become distant from us but wants our attention for something that's not pets, play, or food (very odd) even though his appetite is fine.”
2 weeks: “We've been observing him closely and I think Casper is fine now, his runny eyes and sneezing have greatly reduced. He's been exploring outside the room so much sometimes he sometimes doesn't want to go back at all! Although I do think he's still a bit frightened/stressed/bored at times. He's been running around the house a lot and being vocal and we still don't quite understand that he's after at times but overall I think he's ok.” He hasn’t been responsive to his new name and doesn’t play with any of the mental stimulation games they’ve given him. “He's becoming very curious about the outside”
Roman
1 day: He is doing great. He has started exploring new rooms today. They will be keeping his name.
1 week: Roman is doing very well and has settled down. He is very happy and playful yet very vocal, just like their previous cat Chimney. “Roman is a blessing of happiness in our house and we love him immensely”.

Zaria now Mochi
1 day: She's doing well. She is eating, has had water and a wee. The family is keeping a close eye on her. The daughter has decided to name her Mochi, after a tasty little Japanese dessert! The family thinks she's doing really well considering the change. She's been super affectionate and cuddly. Mochi has a safe space under the bed but is spending most of her time out and about in the room with the daughter or dad.
1 week: She's going really well! Eating, drinking and toileting.
1 month: Mochi is doing so well. The family absolutely loves her. She's a very brave explorer and has a lot of confidence. She's energetic and very healthy. "We are very pleased to have her!"
Astra now Delilah
1 day: She’s doing well. She is eating very well and has used her litter tray to pee and poo. “She is finding comfort in her room”. She and their resident cat, Teddy, have been talking to each other through the door. She has been renamed Delilah.
1 week: She’s doing really well and is full of energy. “She is loving the company of our dog and cat. She’s fitting in very nicely.”
