Happily Homed: Emmy (Brownie)

Beth Dokolasa

We have an #adoptionupdate from Beth who adopted Brownie (now Emmy) in November 2024. Beth had visited the shelter many times and was looking for an older cat that was having a hard time getting adopted. She picked Emmy because she had been there the longest!

“Her “safe” spot from the minute she got home is my pillow on my bed which warms my heart. She still startles and scares easily, like if you approach too fast or one of the other animals comes to her but it’s getting better. She’s starting to voice herself to the other cats to let them know they are in her territory which is good.

“Even without her teeth she is eating well and LOVES treats! She is using a pee pad instead of a litter box – not sure why she didn’t want to use the litter box. But I put the pee pad in my shower and she uses it regularly which is OK with me because I had just lost my 20 year old cat who had a disability and used only pee pads. Less litter on my bare feet too!

“Emmy is a great addition to our home!”
