Janice fostered for us back when Archie first came to our door. (She did so much work as a cat foster that she nicknamed her home ‘Happy Cat Gardens’!). When Archie came back to the shelter, she decided to adopt him. By now, Archie and Janice have been living together happily for several years. Recently they even adopted another feline friend. Janice sent us a note to tell us about it all and even included some sweet pictures we’re excited to share with you:
Hi y’all,
You probably don’t remember Archie, a
sickly little grey kitten brought in about 5 years ago by some good Samaritans.
You named him Urchin because he was so pitiful. But the vets in the
hospital brought him back from death’s door, and he came to me to foster. I
did my best to socialize him for a few weeks, then back to you [he went for
adoption.]
A year later, I got a call from one of
your staff, Emily Z., who said, “Remember Urchin, the little kitty you
fostered? He’s back!” How could I forget! I said, well, maybe I’ll just
come and say hello to him. But when I saw him huddled, terrified, in the back
of a cage, I had only one choice! Duh! So back to Happy Cat Gardens
he came.
He is still a scaredy cat, but a real
sweetheart. We recently welcomed 10 year old Hazel from the SPCA, and
after a bit of a rough start, they are now “frenemies”. As you can see in
the photo, they even share their monogrammed blankies.
Thanks for all the work you do! And
thanks for saving Archie!
It’s so wonderful to hear from adopters so long after an animal has gone
home—your story warms our hearts, and we’re pleased to hear that Archie and
Hazel have begun to bond a bit! Thank you for your foster work, and thank you for bringing Archie back to Happy
Cat Gardens!
