Thought I would send you an update on our new additions to our home.  We

did decide to keep their given names and they respond to them quite well.

We took them for their shots yesterday. Both of them have acclimated to

their setting quite well. They are very playful with each other but also

are trying to dominate one another.  Ricky is larger than Patty (if I

remember correctly Ricky is 5 lbs 4 ozs and Patty is 4 lbs 5 ozs). They

are two peas in a pod. They do everything together including using the

litter box at the same time! Both of them have gotten very close to us.

Our bedroom is off-limits (I have allergies). Every morning they have

their paws under our door until we come out to feed them. They are quite a

pair!  We are really happy that we got them both. 

Always know that they are in good hands.

Regards,

Marcella & Bill 

You wouldn't believe how amazing Amy Rose is and how Worthy and her are best friends... Worthy cuddles with Amy Rose and jumps in her crib to get some kisses. She was exactly what hoped for and she is in love with all of us as we are her. She loves sleeping in the sink and has taken over the tree house... at night the real show starts and they are like two kids pouncing... thanks again

Ash and Raven are wonderful & have adjusted well.  Ash is a major snuggler & still loves food.  Raven is the michevious trouble maker that blazes around the house with toys in her mouth and she loves being petted.  They are so cute!  If you've ever seen the Broadway production of 'Cats' their antics are like Mungojerrie & Rumpleteazer (T.S. Eliot) .  So silly! Ash has a need to lay on you at night and purr; especially  likes to lay with his paws on your neck & or have his face in your face.  Raven is happy curling up at your back or tummy.  Here are a few pictures of them.  Ash doesn't stay still very long for a good photo.  Morgan & my husband even built them a cat tree. Raven loves laying in the middle of the kitchen. 

Porter aka "Buddy" and Bailey aka "Minnie" are doing well and are getting along well with our other cats and dogs. They both have such fun personalities and are giving us a all a lot of enjoyment. We posted a pic on the Paws Patrol facebook page:

We will forward you a few more cute pics and keep you posted with updates as they grow up.

You would laugh so hard if you could see him now.  He has got us trained

to do a lot of petting and talking.  In the morning his routine is to greet

us around 5-6am when we get up.  He talks all the time we are getting

dressed for the day and walks with me to his feed dish (wants it filled

even if it already has food in it) --- just in case!!  Then back to the

footstool for a belly rub and he'll lay on his back until he gets it!!

Than a quick little dance and down the hall to the litter pan.  After I

have my breakfast, he will continue to talk until I sit down to read the

paper.  That's his cue to get in my lap thus preventing me from reading

until he goes to sleep!

His personality is starting to shine.  Well behaved except for the usual

kitty curiosity.  Loves to be combed and likes his treats.  He was too big

for a normal kitty bed so he has a box a big wreath came in with blanket

and towel to muss up to his satisfaction.  Every cat we have owned has had

a unique personality and Pun-Kin is no exception.

We hope you had a good Christmas.  We spent ours with our 'snowbird'

friends.  May you have a blessed New Year with peace and joy.  Thank

you for looking after God's creatures.

Domino was a Paws Patrol rescue when she got stuck in our shipping container and survived eleven days with no food or water. Patti Hogan caught her for us. We returned Domino to Wisconsin where she survived another winter while we basked in the AZ sun. 

Upon our return to WI she took to us after many hours of love and patience. Domino now wears a collar and sleeps on our bed! The tabby is her offspring...Smokey Joe. We had captured all Dominos kittens and worked with a WI vet to have them spayed and returned to the outdoors. Domino elluded us for four years prior to being caught in our POD. Thanks Patti!

Drooley, aka Walenga, came to us through Paws Patrol as a group of ranch cats we loved from afar. Over time Drooley started to be comfortable closer to humans.

He started talking in combinations of meows and hisses. He seemed to want to be rubbed on but was still too scared. In winter of 2012 he finally got within arm's length and I was able to pat him. He started to drool from the experience (hence his name)! Since then he has become the coolest cat! I love that when I get home in the evening and he comes out from his hiding spot so I can see him. So I stop the car and get out giving him a cuddle before driving on to the house. He is just the best, and no matter what my day has been like at work, his cuddles make all the tension just wash away. I really enjoy each cuddle I get. He has turned into a big love-bug feral.   Bobbi Lehman

In 2009 we had recently retired and were new to Arizona and decided we would like to try fostering a kitty to go along with our two older cats.  We met Patti at Paws Patrol and received “Pepper”.  She stole our hearts and found a new forever home and became “Suzy”! She is the delight of the household and is definitely “The Kitty in Charge!”  Suzy has been with us for three years and we  couldn’t imagine life without her.  We highly recommend, if you are able to do so, to give a feral kitty a chance.  You may just save two lives!   .........David & Gina Dillon
