Zena Desperately Needs Your Help!


She is a one year old, very sweet kitty - her sister Zoey was just adopted.  She somehow swallowed a long thread and it wrapped around her tongue.  It is now stuck in her intestines and she will need an operation, which costs about $1,500.  She is currently at Animal Hospital of Statesville. If you or someone you know can help please contact Jean at catwoman168@roadrunner.com as soon as possible. Thank you!! 




Cupid

No, this post isn’t about Valentine’s Day but it is a love story. One between a family and their adopted kitty. Cupid was adopted just last week by Ashli and her family, and  he seems to be making himself right at home. Have a look at these photos and I think you will agree.

Look closely….there is a kitty in there.

There he is!

He looks quite pleased with himself, don’t you, think?

Making his way up, or down….

Doesn’t this remind you of the Dos Equis commercial? “I don’t always climb trees, but when I do, I climb all the way to the top”.

His brother, Comet, is still available for adoption, by the way! Here is his Petfinder Page - http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/21675426 , and here are some photos of this handsome boy:

Comet is a sweet, playful grey and tan tabby with white. He was rescued from the pound with his three siblings. Now he needs his "forever home". He would make the perfect addition to your family!

Another Happy Tails Story

We received this email and photo and wanted to share it with you all. It is so heartwarming to hear that our adopted kitties are doing well and living happily with their new family.

Jean,
Just wanted you to know that Sassy Stasia and Duncan (aka Maui) came through surgery on Monday with flying colors.  Stasia was a bit hissy with everyone except Graham and I, so that was wonderful because she recognizes us as family now.  Poor Duncan loves her so was confused as to why she would hiss at him, but he kept his distance.  Duncan was as docile as always during and after the surgery.  Anyway, the vet says the beige coloring mix on Stasia is very unusual and she is a fighter (haha) who did not want surgery.  Don't blame her.

Will send photos again once they are a bit better.  We are keeping them on some pain meds for 3 days (tomorrow is the last day) and keeping them quiet.  Really they look great, but some rest will help them heal faster and they should be back to normal by the weeks end.  Poor little Winston misses them terribly, but we just can risk him being near them because he plays very rough.  I think Stasia treats him like her baby and he loves it, so now he is sticking to me like glue until she returns. 

I am enclosing a photo my mother took at Christmas.  My son is holding his cat who hates all other cats so is hissing during the photo.  You can see all the other kittens are starring at her.  We had a hard time trying to hold everyone which is why we were laughing.  Left to Right:  Grant and Stinky; Graham w/ Sassy Stasia and Duncan; Vickie w/Winston; and Devin w/Beasley (only 2 weeks older than Stasia, believe it or not).   All the kittens got along well.

Hope all is well with you.  Take care and I'll send more photos later............Vickie

Dobby and Luna - Happy Tails

Formerly known as Mango and Tinkerbelle, they were born in July 2009, and adopted in October 2009 by Kristi. As you can see they are doing really well! They are so beautiful, and such good friends, too.

If you or someone you know needs a wonderful furry friend (or two), please let them know that we have kitties every bit as adorable and loving as these two just waiting for a family to love.
