In July I said good bye to Sprinkles, Twinkles and Pixie (and their nasty feral mama, Gabby!). As you may recall, Twinkles and Pixie went to a home together to live with another kitty named Snowman, while Sprinkles went to live with Ms. Terry and her nice family and their kitty, Patches.
Sprinkles & Twinkles. Which one is which?
Sprinkles, renamed Ninja, didn't get the warm welcome she had hoped for from resident kitty, Patches. Concerned, Ms. Terry contacted me about the situation and I sent her a long list of things to do to encourage a "proper" introduction between the two cats. Patches was growling and angry, no doubt causing Ninja to retaliate. After reading my email and carefully following the strategy I suggested, within a week or two, she wrote back and told me the great news that everyone was getting along well!

Apparently, Ninja and Patches are such good buddies they sleep together and enjoy play time. Ninja also decided it was time that Patches gained the upper hand with the family dogs when she showed them who was boss! Now Patches has joined Ninja's efforts and the dogs are now in their proper place! So there!

To make things even better, Ms. Terry told her friend about our group and a few days later I met her and her family when they adopted Shamus and Arabella! Yay!
It's really nice to be able to share some good news with everyone. I have even more. I just need some time to write it up.
I can give you a hint that one of our dear readers was so inspired by the efforts here that she reached out to help a stray cat in dire need of rescue. Stay tuned for her heartwarming story!
Okay. One last cute photo!

Thank you to Ms. Terry and her family for not giving up on Ninja. I know they had some tough times, but in the end it worked out well. It's always tough to know when to give up and when to give it more time. In this case, things worked out well. I've been invited to visit everyone in the near future and am looking forward to that very much! Of course, I'll report back here with more photos-hopefully of the cats beating up the dogs! (JOKE).

Aww Hurray! I'm glad
Aww Hurray!
I'm glad Ninja and Patches are getting along so well! I'm such a sucker for black kitties!! I'm glad all three of them found lovely homes! :)
awwww! That is SO SO SO
awwww! That is SO SO SO sweet!
And for anyone who needs reassurances - it IS possible for cats that don't get along to be roommates. Just ask Juno. Quincy was here first, but Juno came later, and immediately took over. After all, she is a regal old gal. Juno could care less for the young whippersnapper, but with a carefully placed swat or two every so often, the two co habitate in almost loving harmony, in UNDER 850 square feet. So it IS possible! :)
