Adopted December 2010

4/12/11:

Just wanted to send you a note and let you know that the kitten I adopted is super happy and well loved.

We adopted Jaci (orange tabby kitten) in December 2010, when she was 4 months old. We changed her name to Penny and she ruled the roost by the end of the first weekend. I was worried that she might be too young to join a household with only an older cat (13 years) and a dog, but she’s great at entertaining herself.

She absolutely loves my dog, Riley, and apparently wants to be a dog when she grows up. She follows him around, steals his toys, sleeps in his bed with him, and drinks from his bowl. And Riley loves her back—on the rare occasions when the cats get into a spat, Riley runs over and stands between them to end it.

Penny is thrilled to have lots of windows to watch the birds and squirrels when she’s not hanging out with the dog. Recently we’ve had some warm afternoons when she could go out on the screened porch and she chatters to the birds nonstop. She’s friendly, sweet, and easy to take care of—you all did a fabulous job socializing her and raising her those first four months. Thank you for taking such good care of her until I found her.
