Our Adoption Stories

Roxie
 
 
Hi Penny. I thought you might enjoy this picture of Roxie (we renamed her Sophie…it’s much more fitting for her). I am just amazed at how she has come around. I had my doubts when we first brought her home! Remember when she buried her head all the time? It has taken 4 months for her to come this far and she still is tentative around people, and doesn’t like to be held, but she follows my daughter around like a little puppy. She purrs and chirps, rubs up against things when my daughter comes home. Sophie practically lives in my daughter’s room. And that is great because I really wanted this cat to be for her.

I am going to have to get a picture of our dog around her. Our 100 pound German Shepherd trembles in fear when Sophie walks by him. She can definitely hold her own!

This is such a great success story and it really is a testament to what a loving environment can do. My advice to others who adopt a timid cat is to be patient and let her come out on her own terms. Everyday Sophie is more and more comfortable and everyday she ventures out a little more, trusts us a little more. We really love her and are thankful she came into our lives. I just wanted to pass this on to you….

Hope all is well at Kitty Keepers.
