We have an #adoptionupdate from Milo who adopted Junko (now Silverbelle, aka Sillybelle, Snugglebelle, and occasionally Stinkybelle) in November 2024. They were looking to adopt a senior cat to pamper during her golden years.
“When we adopted Silverbelle, the paperwork from the family who surrendered her to the shelter said she was aggressive towards “men, women, children, and dogs” and that the reason for surrendering her was that she “wasn’t happy.” We thought it would take a long time for her to trust us and adjust to her new home, but she revealed herself to be a major love bug and velcro kitty within hours of bringing her home. I think she was able to breathe a sigh of relief after living first with a large dog and then in a shelter, and adjusted well to living with us very quickly.
“Silverbelle is pretty significantly overweight—our vet said she needs to lose a third of her bodyweight when we brought her in right after adopting her. She also has arthritis in her hips, but the vet expects that will be calmed down when she loses weight. She’s now on a diet and has been getting faster and more agile every time she gets the zoomies over the last two and a half months.
“As far as toys go, she loves little pretend mice, and she carries them around in her mouth while also yelling at top volume. She’s also getting very skilled at finding treats in puzzles we make for her! I love this sweet old girl so, so much. Thank you all so much for connecting us!!”
