Pet’s AARF Name: Windy
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Bobbi
How is your adopted pet doing? Bobbi has been a great joy and has made such a big impact on own lives in such a short time!

Some background on my husband and I: When we got engaged about 4.5 years ago, I already had a cat. Her name was Bill and I had had her since 04. Sept 2020 Bill lost the battle of her IDB which had turned to cancer. She was 18.5 year old. My husband was okay with her, but never had understood the joy of a pet as he just saw me caring for sick elderly cat.
After Bill, I knew I need some help coping and a new companion. I had no intention of adopting so quickly after her passing. I got on pet finder to just see who was out there and if there was a kitty that needed someone like I needed them. I searched for special needs cats. I came across Windy. She was absolutely stunning. Her special needs didn’t seems like such a special need to me. (Flea allergy) She was happy being a single cat which was perfect for us. As my husband wasn’t the biggest fan of pets at the time ( Windy is slowly bring him around to the joy of a pet). She was older, which was a plus a for me as well. Kittens are crazy!
Windy, now Bobbi is loving her new home. Her favorite toy is a “hipster” fish that she rabbit kicks. She likes to run up and down the stairs making noises. She loves sitting between my husband and I on the sofa for pets. Bobbi has really shown my husband how pets can be enriching. This morning I heard him talking and asked him what he was saying. He told me that he and Bobbi were talking! I could not have asked for a more perfect companion and fur baby.

Pet’s AARF Name: Joey
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Joey-Matrix
How is your adopted pet doing? We absolutely love our kitten! He had a rough couple of days when he arrived. He seemed scared and confused. We did everything we could to provide him with some familiar things from his foster home (food, litter, toys, etc) Joey warmed up to us quickly. He runs, plays, and jumps like actors from “The Matrix” movies. So we decided to add “Matrix” to his name. He is now Joey-Matrix. His new favorite play space is my daughter’s doll house. He likes to jump to each level and swat the dolls out:)
He has brought us such joy!
Thank you to the staff at A.A.R.F for sending us our sweet little guy!

How is your adopted pet doing? Phillip is so smart and such a love! We adore him – so much personality in such a small dog. He goes on vacation with us, goes to work with me, and spends a lot of his time lounging on the couch. He’s super friendly to all dogs and people, and can destroy any “indestructible” toy in 12 mins (very determined little guy). We celebrate his adoption day AND his birthday every year – so very happy he’s part of our family. Thank you again for allowing us to take him home : )
