Happy Tails For Lainey

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: April 29, 2023
Pet’s AARF Name: Lainey
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Lainey
How is your adopted pet doing? She is doing great! She is spoiled. She is 100% a daddy’s girl. I adopted her as a surprise for my then boyfriend (now husband). He was elated when I brought her home and I don’t think his excitement has lessened any since the day I surprised him with her. His favorite thing to do is cuddle on the couch with her and have her snuggle up next to him in bed to go to sleep. He even gets super jealous on the nights she decides to cuddle up next to me and sleep. She loves running around outside, “zoomies” are a daily thing for her.

Happy Tails For Capicorn

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: 6/4/24
Pet’s AARF Name: Capicorn
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Jacob
How is your adopted pet doing? Jacob is a growing boy very active and loving.
It took about 4 weeks for Jacob and my other rescue Zena to get along. Now they are best of friends. Xena taught Jake not to bite hard or be a bully. Also to share their dad. ❤️
Jacob gets along with everyone. He loves his cat wall, call trees, catios and coming to work with dad if it isn’t a Zena play day.
My friends and I have play dates with a dog and cats at each other houses. When I need a babysitter I send them over and my friends do the same when they need pet care. The last time I had to go out on a job (which is rare) I left them for 4 days. When I came home they let me know they had the time of their young lives. Instead of that cold shoulder you would normally get. They were happy and joyful. My friend said they played with each other and the other cats after the first day of introductions.
This weekend we took care of a small dog and my kittens continued their dog socialization. Jacob is very social and by the 3 day the dog and him were sniffing each other without a care. As far as Jacob as a kitten I think Lauren his foster mom did a great job. I don’t see any phobias or bad treats. He absolutely loves to be held by women and playing with little girls. He loves his dad of course. Just an around great cat easy to take care of and handle.

How is your adopted pet doing? Blue is doing so fantastic!!!! She has been such a sweetheart!!! We have two other cats, one just turned one, and the other one is seven.

She’s cute, she’s curious, she loves to play, but she also loves to snuggle. The gets along great with the two cats (and our German Shepherd), and they all have accepted her totally! She has the cutest purrs and meows, and we love here! She has been the perfect fit for us!

Happy Tails For Jasmine

When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: June 8, 2024
Pet’s AARF Name: Jasmine
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): N/a
How is your adopted pet doing? When I first brought Jasmine home, she was still recovering from giving birth to her kittens so she was pretty sleepy all the time. After a week or so, her personality really shone through! She loves playing with toys (especially wand toys and cardboard boxes) and is always coming up with new goofy ways to make me laugh (like turning belly up between the couch and the wall). She’s adjusted well to being a city kitty and one of her favorite activities is people watching. I’m so blessed to have her and I can’t imagine my life without her!
