From Left to Loved

You may remember reading about Tallulah, the cat who was abandoned at our doorstep last winter. After months of care, Tallulah found an amazing family who loves her just as much as she loves them. Her adopters recently were in touch with us to let us know how she has been doing.

“Tallulah is doing really well! Immediately, she became an important part of the family. She is such a sweet, in your lap cat! She loves cuddling with everyone in our family and with everyone who visits. Talu2 (300x200)Tallulah and our granddaughter, McKenna have developed an inseparable bond. Their favorite game is fetch. McKenna throws a toy for Miss T. while calling “fetch” and Tallulah does indeed run for the toy, brings it back and drops it for another throw. Amazing!  Physically Miss T. is doing quite well. Her fur has grown back and she is beautiful! You can sometimes still feel little bumps on her skin but not all over as we heard she had when arriving at Homeward Pet. We are continuing her prescription food to keep her healthy and she has such a great appetite! She will let you know when she needs her food! Our experience at Homeward Pet was incredible! We were impressed with everyone there. The care and compassion for the animals is evident from the moment you come into the adoption center. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough. Our granddaughter is the biggest benefactor of that.  They are quite a sweet team. They sense each other’s needs in a way that makes your heart so happy. We know Tallulah was very sick when she arrived at Homeward Pet. A huge thank you to everyone who loved and helped her on the road back to good health. We think of you and the work you do often and are happy to support your efforts.” – Leslie.

When we originally shared Tallulah’s story during this year’s GiveBIG campaign, Homeward Pet supporters came through in a big way– raising more than $34,000 to help care for animals just like Tallulah. Thank you.

Fostering – A Family Affair

 

For three and a half years, Dani and her family have been opening their home and hearts to help animals in need.  Despite having two dogs and three cats of their own, Dani and her family still have a desire to help homeless animals, and it was this passion that brought them to Homeward Pet’s foster program in 2012.   

They like to take care of the littlest ones the most, and seem to have an endless supply of energy and compassion, sometimes picking up a puppy to foster on the same day they drop off a litter of kittens to be spayed or neutered and ready for adoption!

Fostering is a family affair at Dani’s house.  “I have three kids and they are very helpful, and always get excited when we get new foster animals.  Cleanup isn’t a favorite of theirs (haha!), but fostering animals makes life in our house fun and rewarding,” she observes, “It’s a great learning experience for my kids, too.”  The family also gets help from their Aussie Shepherd, who gently herds litters of kittens to keep them together.

Last year, Dani’s family got bigger when they adopted one of their foster kittens, Monkey.  But it was a dog named Boo that gave Dani and her family their most memorable foster experience.  “Boo needed socialization and would hide under my feet all the time because she was afraid of everyone else.  After three weeks, she had formed a pack with my dogs and it was like she was a whole new dog.  It was hard for us to give her back because my family, two and four-legged, had taught her to trust other people and animals.”

Thank you, Dani, and your whole family.  You are truly Homeward Heroes!

Happy Tail – Fiona!

I adopted Brandi, now Fiona, from Homeward Pet just over a month ago and wanted to give you an update. I grew up with cats and she has to be the most confident cat I’ve ever known. Right off the bat, she fell in love with my young blind/deaf Australian Shepherd, and they are now inseparable. She loves running around, causing trouble, and lots of cuddling.     -Aunia
