Tortellini celebrates her first birthday

May 21, 2014

Hello, 

One year ago today we were contacted by Upper Credit about a 24-hour-old kitten in need of foster. At the time we had a nursing mother and two kittens and the hope was that the mother would care for her. Well no such luck!! Mama wanted nothing to do with the little kitten. So we decided to give it a shot and bottle feed this tiny 2 ounce kitten thinking she didn't stand much of a chance. 

The tiny tortoiseshell hung on week by week and we nicknamed her "Tortellini". It was a long time before she was up to standard adoption weight but when the time came around to return her to the shelter my husband and I faltered. How could we possibly send her back?? But we already had 2 cats and a dog...well that didn't matter, little Tortellini had worked her way into our hearts and there was really only once choice. We would now be a three cat family! We officially adopted Tortellini as our own in November 2013 and haven't looked back since. 

Yesterday Tortellini hit the 1 year mark and we couldn't be happier!

Jade (formerly known as Tina) - adopted May 16, 2014

Jade (formerly known as Tina)

Tina is doing very well. We have changed her name to Jade (the colour of her eyes) and she is responding to the change. It took her around two days to come out from under our bed but she is now walking around the house like she owns it :)

Thank you and the rest of the staff for managing this adoption program. We feel like our house is a home again with Jade in it.

Boots (adopted February 15, 2014) and Tahiti (adopted March 16, 2014)

Tahiti

Boots

My husband and I adopted both Boots (black and white cat) in Feb. 2014 and Tahiti (American Shorthair) in March 2014 from UCHS. Both of them are doing great and have adjusted so well to their new forever home.

Thank you for contacting us about Tahiti as she was previously returned twice. We really, really love her! Yes she has a bit of an attitude when she wants to, but we showed her a lot of love and now she is so happy. She gives both of us lots of kisses and absolutely adores my husband (and he feels the same way). 

Boots is also wonderful, so happy and loving. I think they are both glad they were adopted into the same home, as they play together a lot and groom each other.
  

Thanks again,

Rebecca & Robert Medeiros
