Sometimes it takes awhile: Bebe took a couple of months to fully integrate. Mesh Mesh, a couple of weeks. It moments like this are amazing once they happen. We’ve been very lucky all of our cats have gotten along. 🧡🤎🖤

Way Back Wednesday: Alice proving her worth as office assistant by inspecting one of the bins we use for our marketing table at remote events. She does a great job!

Mesh Mesh is getting WAY more comfortable. In fact, last night she begged and I for chicken 😹 Then jumped up in bed with us. We didn’t know what to expect with a 13 year old with CH and if we don’t tell her maybe she’ll never let that limit her 🤎🧡 Couldn’t be happier she’s part of our family

I guess we were missed while we were away in New Hope 😹

Incredibly sweet senior, our big boy Duncan had been asking to go for a wander all day. I obliged. He was just cleared and is available for adoption with his bonded buddy, Cringer (who is equally as sweet though slightly less interactive). Come say meow!

Yesterday we launched The B-Mod Squad via here at Ladew. It’s a behavior modification and enrichment program aimed at helping cats with shelter stress (both spicy and shy) and build their trust to help them become more adoptable. Program participant on the feline side Desmond (whom I’ve posted about before a few times) actually shows what the program and a little TLC (trust, love, consistency) can do, and demonstrates it beautifully (pic two). Thanks to everyone who came out; I can’t wait to show how this progresses!

Mesh Mesh Monday! Our brave senior girl has been coming out to have a wobbly wander through the entire apartment a couple of times now. And as such, she’s met everyone way sooner than planned 😹 It’s amazing how every cat truly is different: Bebe had a long arc that involved patience and building trust over weeks and months. Mesh Mesh apparently is ready for full integration after a few days and and I are here for it.

Look who came out to say hi yesterday! One day in and she’s loving pets, nuzzling and purring. And eating. Still bothered by the ceiling fan, but we’ll get there 😹 Atta girl, Meshmesh.

Welcome Mesh Mesh! I fell for her pretty soon after she arrived, but that happens a lot in animal care. came to the Grindhouse night Friday and on his tour of the sanctuary…absolutely fell IN LOVE too! She had another potential adopter, but that person opted out as Mesh has a mild form of CH (wobbly cat). So the stars aligned and Mesh spent her first night with us last night. The closet is her chosen “safe space”, and she’s very suspect of whatever the celing fan is, but she’s eaten and seems very peaceful, blinking back at us. Anyhow, welcome home sweet Mesh Mesh (which translates to apricot in Arabic).
