Soleil & Twinkle

This past Spring we lost one of our sweet kitties of 11 years to congestive heart failure. His feline brother and the rest of our family was heartbroken. Life has not been the same without him.

In May while visiting PetSmart we had the chance to meet and play with some sweet kitties.
Not long after, Soleil Raindrop (formerly Chimmy) and Twinkle Moondance (formerly Cinder) joined our family. They are our sunshine after the rain. Their unending energy and antics and sweet love and purrs continue to give our family... especially myself and their feline brother, Zazu, great comfort.

There are fewer things that bring me greater joy than the purr of a sweet cat (or three!) curled up on my lap while I read... or seeing them all hunt the birds at the bird feeder (through the window of course!) ... or watching my 11 year old kitty once again run like the wind down our hallway while the two new little ones chase after him!

It is amazing how such small creatures can fill such a large spot in your heart. And what is even more amazing is how there is always room for one more! Thank you Camp Companion for taking such great care of Cinder & Chimmy while they were with you. They have quickly become a part of our family... and we love them more each and every day!

My Kitties

I adopted Syd and Francis (formerly Oscar and Felix) from Camp Companion at PetsMart this past June. They came from a foreclosed home with 85 cats! I knew they were for me when I heard about their story and played with them at PetsMart. Francis was very playful while Syd wanted to curl up and hide behind me. I knew they had great potential to be very nice kitties. Being just 23 years old and moving into my own place, I knew I could give them the love and attention they needed to trust people again.

They both had some teeth problems and needed treatment with antibiotics, and they loved it when I mixed the antibiotics in with canned food. Both cats were very shy at first but they have adjusted to their new home very well. They still get timid with sudden movements or strange noises but they have made great improvements. They even come out to see visitors now!

Syd (formerly Oscar) loves to snuggle and curl up right next to me. He also likes to meow and talk to me very often.

Francis (formerly Felix) is my playful boy. He loves to roll around on the floor and jump all over Syd. Although he's not much of a snuggler, he loves attention and gets jealous if Syd is getting attention and he's not.

Thank You Camp Companion!
