We never give up on our pets!!

OHS Alum SIMON was born on site over 4 yrs ago and quickly adopted. When his person sadly passed away earlier this year, we were there for him. Simon is celebrating 4 mos in his new home and he's doing great! We're super proud of him!! Way to go Simon.

Family update: Simon is living the good life. He has adjusted well to his new home and is much loved by everyone, minus the 2 cats. Although Simon is rather intrigued by them, they do not wish to be pals just yet.

Clearly, there's a lot going on in Tux's head.
Sure looks like with that single white eye whisker that she could be receiving radio signals! LOL
Never underestimate the power of our black kitty! Having spent all but a few months of her 9yrs with us, there's no telling what connections she may or may not have made right under our watch!! LOL

Constance has been in her new home for almost 3 mos now and she is bringing so much joy to her new family. Having waited over 5.5yrs for her "Gotcha Day" to arrive, how sweet it is to see her leading her best life and adding so much to her new family. Way to go!!

Family update: Connie has been doing great! She has brought so much joy to our lives and we are so happy to give her a good home.

Since bringing her home, she has certainly found her voice - she likes to meow at us all the time. Mostly the meows are requests for food or pets. As you know, she was a bit overweight when we adopted her, so we have had her on a diet, and she's down 1 lb already. The amount of time she spends playing with her toys certainly helps! Her favorite toy is her catnip-filled squirrel that she kicks and tosses around. She loves to sleep on pillows, and apparently, try on my jean shorts - she certainly has both calm and chaotic moments, which keeps life with her very interesting. What drew me to her initially has definitely held true in our home - she is incredibly personable and loves everyone. She greets everyone that comes to visit our home at the front door (usually by meowing for pets) and during our first trip to the vet, she was beloved by the doctor and technicians. She has no fear of new places or people, just curious and cuddly!

I feel very lucky to call her my cat, and I thank you, and everyone else at Caring for Creatures, for taking care of her for so many years.

Best,
Emily

Yet another pup alum has checked in with us! Today, it's BRIGID!! Part of our St Patty's Day Litter, she is celebrating her 3 mo adoption anniversary and she's doing superbly!! Don't forget, she still has 2 siblings here Paddy and Clover who are in the hunt for their new homes (now 8 mos old).

Brigid (now Stoodle) update: Stoodle is doing great! She continues to be a little social butterfly who loves playing with other dogs. She has been going to puppy school at Training by Valerie, and they say how every dog just loves to play with Stoodle. She's Miss Popularity there because she matches each dog's energy, high or low. Stoodle's human siblings continue to love her. One is really into the training piece and the other just wants to give her treats all the time. They both love to cuddle her! -Erin

GASTON may not know how super cool he is, but we see it each and every day. We caught him recently outside on the catio enjoying the pretty weather. Dressed for success in his golden coat (and Ai sunglasses!), he seemed to glow in this perfect space on the catio. Over 11 yrs in age, Gaston is a more quiet fella who doesn't ask for much and always comes in peace. We enjoy his soft, unobtrusive self and love how he adds to the room in his own special way. Way to go Gaston.

Is it possible some of us don't look nearly as glamorous right before we tuck ourselves in for bed time? Well, there was a publicity leak last night and photos got out of PRINCESS as she was getting ready for bedtime in the office closet area. One of the swankest spots BTW for overnights, no doubt it revitalizes her so she emerges each day as the beautiful, stunning and most charming PRINCESS that we all know and love!! Here's to another great day with Princess in our lives!!
