Wendall has made
himself at home! |
Where are They
Now?
An Update on Some Happy Cats!
by Rita L.
So what happens to Pasado's rescued kitties
after they leave the sanctuary? We are proud to share some
heartwarming updates with you about a few of our kitties and how much
they are loved in their new forever homes!
Abe, TJ
and Wendall:
These three kitties came from 2 different hoarding situations, each with
unique and difficult needs. Abe and TJ were extremely scared, and
skittish, almost reacting as feral cats to efforts to handle and care
for them. Wendall had severe health problems requiring a long period of
isolation, followed by a serious eye condition due to untreated herpes
in his former living situation. |

But they certainly had
luck on their side, in the form of Kitty City volunteer Kristin and
hubby Mike, who first took Abe and TJ home to foster, and later Wendall.
"The boys" were all officially adopted and now live with Kristin, Mike,
and their three other cats, where they enjoy Kristin's home cooking, an
enclosed outdoor kitty playground, and just being mischievous,
rambunctious teenagers. |
Cinder lost her owner
in a house fire is now content in her new home |
Cinder
Cinder was a survivor of a house fire last spring. She was EXTREMELY
fearful, and
didn't want anything to do with people. We thought she was a feral cat
and we placed her into the feral enclosure. After a few days we realized
she wasn't feral and brought her into the isolation room, where she
stayed with 2 other kitties until last summer when she was adopted by a
couple in Cranbrook, BC. Nikki and her husband will do anything to make
her happy, including having her favorite healthy food shipped to them
from WA!
|
Proud words from Cinder's
new mom:
"Cinder is doing so well. I think I’ve spoiled her a little too much
as now she will only let me feed her. We also made a toy for her (tying
a mouse onto a shoelace) and she is relentless about wanting to play
with it. We keep it in a cupboard when we are not around and every
morning she will sit in front of the cupboard and meow for us to open it
up and play with her. She is such a funny little girl and we love her to
pieces! She talks all the time and has a million different meows."

Angelina
Angelina - Came
in last spring as an emaciated mama cat with 4 tiny kittens not yet
weaned. Rather unpredictable in her behavior with other cats, she lived
in Kitty City's intern room until she was adopted just before
Thanksgiving. She now lives as an "only child" with Josh and Jessica in
Seattle and is a plump, happy, playful girl.
|
Here's an update
Angelina's new pal Jessica:
"Angelina has taken a liking to sleeping on my office chair, so we
placed a large beach town on the chair for her to snuggle with.
Unfortunately, she's learned that she'll be spoiled here. One of us will
brush her once a day, she get fresh filtered water everyday (Josh is a
big filtered water fan), she plays with the catnip plant for thirty
minutes or so every evening before we put it away, and she gets catnip
sprinkled on both her scratch pads every morning. She is at the point
with her scratch pads where she just sits and stares at it in the
morning until we sprinkle catnip on it. We love her! She's quite
entertaining with her toys and when she's brushed. Because we have
hardwood floors, she likes to spread out on it and spin herself around.

Awwww... the life!

Tux
Tux had lived in Kitty
City for several years and had grown accustomed to it as home, but when
a foster home was offered for one of the cats, we jumped at the chance
to recommend sweet senior Tux. She was always so quiet and unassuming
she was always passed over by visitors. We didn't think she had a very
good chance of ever finding a home. But then Tux went into foster care
in mid-summer, and officially became a member of her family in December. |
She now lives in
Tukwila with her new mom Teresa and one senior dog, one young pup, and
the newest member of the family, another senior cat named Dani. As we
remember her from Kitty City, her favorite thing in the world (besides
Teresa) is a plush cushion in a warm spot and a catnip toy. Teresa
reports that every night, Tux jumps up onto the bed, waking her and the
dogs up, to take her spot on the pillow next to Teresa.
(Teresa said the pillow has taken on Tux's shape and no matter how she
tries, she can't get the pillow to fluff out anymore!) Her coat is all
soft and shiny now, she has put on weight, and she looks very, very
content. |
Miracle gets a new
fiend for Christmas! |
Miracle (now "Edgar")
Miracle came from a hoarding situation and had difficulty adjusting in
Kitty City. He was always hiding somewhere in the enclosure outside and
did not want anything to do with anybody. We were very concerned for his
welfare and were fortunate enough to get him into a foster home (Thanks
Peg!). Under the loving care of his foster mom, his true personality as
an affectionate, playful, active cat started to emerge.
After 6 months in foster care, he finally found his forever home through
an adoption event and went home just after Christmas. He now lives in
Seattle with Heather and his canine best bud Lacy.
|
|
"They are very fun
together, and I must say that Lacy didn't get into so much trouble (nor
probably hasn't had so much fun) until Edgar joined us." |
Two peas in a pod!
|
Kammy (now "Kami")
Kammy came from hoarding situation. She was very shy and skittish and
did not do well living with all the other cats in Misty's Kitty City.
Luckily Kammy Was adopted last summer and lives in Seattle with
Christina and Gerry, and her new feline brother Misha. Misha is a
slightly larger, more rambunctious version of Kammy. The plan was to
bring Kammy home and slowly introduce her to Misha. Misha had other
plans and walked right up and introduced himself, they have been
inseparable every since.
|
Christina's update about
Kami's new life:
"We have 24/7 entertainment at our house with these two! I am so
happy that Kami has come completely out of her shell. She’s super
social, absolutely pretty (her winter coat is this silky soft puffy
gorgeous dark grey, and it is very very shiny). When I wake up in the
morning I take a brief look down the bed, and there’s Misha on the foot
end, and Kami smack in the middle between me and Gerry at belly height.
So cute!" |
