Adoption Tails: RIcki, Kenji, Cooper and Tigger

Ricki

Rycki

1 day: Ricki has settled in extremely well from the minute she got in the front door. Taken over eating well, using the kitty litter with no issues at all. Sleeping on the bed at night and very social with the family and visitors. Not hiding at all. They will be keeping Ricki's name. The family didn't need to keep her in one room to start as she came in as if she had been in here for years, has not hidden at all. 

1 week: No problem taking over. Miss Confidence has settled extremely well. 

1 month: Ricki is delightful and has taken over the home. She is very warm in her personality and friendly and loves affection.

Kenji

1 day: He's going really well. Eating, drinking and being super clever and using his kitty litter. Kenji has a nice big room to be in and Poppy (the daughter) is there with him. She's been needing a furry best bud for a while, Kenji is her perfect match! The two are loving playing and sleeping.

 

1 week: Kenji is being a very good work buddy with the owner today. He's going great at home. The daughter was sick last week so Kenji spent the whole week with her which she obviously relished. He's met the resident cat and things are going well, there were even some nose kisses. He loves exploring the house.

 1 month: Kenji is the best! He's helping the owner work again today! 

 

Kenji

He's super social - loves being around people and playing. He is very loved. "Thank you for your wonderful work SAFE does!"

 Cooper

2 days: “He settled into his safe room well, he hid away in the closet and would come out to eat/drink & use the litter. After dinner last night he seemed hungry for some affection so we gave him some pats and the chance to explore the rest of the house - and he spent the whole night going between us and laying on our laps! We’re both so surprised at how fast he’s warmed up to us, we thought it would take a lot longer. He’s such a sweetheart! And he recognises his name so we’ll be keeping it”

1.5 weeks: “Cooper is doing amazingly, he’s pretty much completely out of his safe room and spends most of his time either laying on us or in front of the heater. He enjoys a sleep in and has taken an interest in watching TV (he seems to like cartoons). He’s such a gentle sweet little angel, and he’s so well behaved as well. We feel very lucky to have such a lovely boy in our lives”

1 month: no response

 

Tigger

1 day: “Tigger has settled in well so far. He has found a safe place in my bedroom, but has ventured out to explore a little bit. Tigger has had some dinner but is yet to use the litter tray.” His owner will be keeping his name.

3 days: “Tigger used the litter box last night, and he certainly hasn’t lost his appetite” 

Tigger

1.5 weeks: “I can only describe Tigger as relaxed and comfortable in his new surroundings. He has worked out that Nan (my mother) is a soft touch for treats and happily plays with my support worker when she arrives in the morning. All in all, there are no issues.” 

2 weeks: One issue they’re having is Tigger attacks (scratches) his owner’s support worker when they are helping them put on their shoes. They have given him a ball of wool to play with but he is still attacking the support worker when they are putting on the shoes (he wants to play with the shoes laces). 

5.5 weeks: “Tigger has settled in very well. He is now starting to snuggle up with me at night. I have put strategies in place to avoid repeats of the attacks on my support worker and these seem to be working well.”
