Autobiography of a Former Shelter Cat

Archive for the tag “adopt adult cat”

HIYA! Savannah back again…

Okey dokey…here is my first letter back to my roomies after Mom and Dad took me in as a foster cat…remember…I was kinda trying to figure my way around this new place.  Of course, not knowing how long they would let me hang with them…but I sorta really liked’em lots….and…well…ummm..gosh….I (sniff sniff) really didn’t want to go back…I mean, I liked the KC staff–but I was kinda’ in a bit of physical pain, and so that made me sort’a stand’offish..and I was just plain terrified no one would ever love me ever again…so being in a foster home longer term could mean a real future for me…so lot’s riding on this chance…so I wanted to let my former roomies and the volunteers know how much it meant to me…hope you kind’a get it….read on…

Dec. 21, 2011

OK…that’s my first letter back to KC…hope it helped you see where I was….thanks ever so much for reading on…TTFN, Savannah

Ok…Lazy Sunday…but had’ta say HI

Hi Everyone…so OK…I am kinda lazy today…actually tonight!

Just a small update until tomorrow…Mom and I had 2 “love”ya…Love’ya right back” sessions today…first when we got up this morning..She is so great!  She doesn’t dash off to her litter box…ooopps..bathroom….until she has given me some head rubs, pets and goo goo talk.  Then…today, Mom woke up with a sort’a head cold coming on…so she slept in…And then (tee hee) while she was sleeping, I started to play “mice in the bed” with her toes…errr, ummmm..I mean with the “mice in her bed”….yuk yuk

Anyways, it was a pretty lazy Sunday for all of us…so I will work tonight on my next post for Monday to let ya’ know how things are going after Dad and Mom officially adopted me in early January….hope everyone had a great Sunday…furrrrrrrr hugs, Savannah

All Righty Dighty…Back Again…Savannah Here!

So I kinda think my post yesterday was really a longy…but then I had to share all the stories my volunteers told me, so hope you were OK with that.

I’m gonna make this post shorter…but I really want to tell how my Dad and Mom found me ‘cuz it is so cool how it happened…no, really, it is…just listen…..

So–Its November, 2011 and the Contra Costa Times runs an article: Shelter Gives Cats Another Chance by Lisa White (no kidding…meowww). My Dad reads it…he and my Mom were looking for a place to volunteer where they could be with cats.  See, really sad…they had just had to put their last of 3 cats to forever sleep…Tasha who was 17.  And, they lost her bro’ Boris in June 2011 and their pal Popcorn in Oct 2010…very sad but they all were 16-17 and Dad and Mom were really good with them and of course, they were all rescue cats..natch..that’s what my Dad and Mom doKitty 3

Now…Mom drops by just to check out this Kitty Corner…loooooovvvveees it! Then she gets Dad down for a visit. Well, one of the volunteers…Mark (he was in my post yesterday) was there…and makes sure to show Dad the fab’ gray femal Russian Blue cat hiding in a cubby.Yep..you got that right…it was me! Of course… sad to say, but I was hiding with only my butt showing…meowwwww…embarrassing but it was what it was…sigh.

So Dad, who is just the coolest guy…real gently…he rubs my butt, I turn around and let him have a go at my head…nice.  Then Mom sees me…she gives me some pets…real nice hands.  Mark tells them how withdrawn, depressed and scared I am…says I am one of his favs! Yep, me!

Anyways, long story short…Mom and Dad start to volunteer–they do the cleaning at Kitty Corner every Thursday AM.  And…they decide to foster me so I can get a break from KC. So…they take me home…and I will talk more about how that went in my next post….then by January 2012 they decide…….drum roll please!  YES…they fail as foster parents and boom…I am now in my total forever home!!!  The confetti now please!!! Woohoo!

Not to say we haven’t all 3 had some moments over the last 3 months…but just sayin’…ya notice I now have my own gmail account, a word press blog for my autobiography and yes, I Tweet too!  Guess who rules!!! 

Ok, guess that’s enough for today.  I’m kinda pooped…’cuz Mom and Dad tried to sneek out this morning (like I wasn’t watching HA!) so they could go kayaking and look at shore birds and stuff (as though I wouldn’t a liked the bird part…huh?)  Anways, I stayed pretty much awake waiting for them…so now I wrote all this…Mom edited it of course…and I’m ready to go get her so’s she can give me a brushing…sooooo relaxing

Sooooo…catch’ya tomorrow…gotta go….Savannah
