We have an #adoptionupdate from Jordana who adopted Cookie and Jelly this past July! They were looking for a senior cat to adopt, and as a bonus, they got two!
“They are the sweetest girls and we’re so happy to have them in our home. They both have settled in very nicely and we have created a daily routine to help provide extra support for our very senior gals. Keeping them together as a bonded pair was very important to everyone and their ability to acclimate together has really helped their personalities come out. They are both very sweet, chatty and love pets!
“As the oldest, Jelly definitely moves at a more relaxed pace but she’s still got that spark and loves spending time watching nature! She suns all day in her many beds, and enjoys getting fresh when their slider is open. Cookie is our goofy girl and has such a fun personality! She loves to be around people and get scratches, but her favorite is treat time and she lets you know! Her little meows and paw shakes are absolutely adorable and she gets us for treats every time!
“Despite their older age and health maintenance they are doing amazing and we’re so happy to have them in our family!”
We appreciate you adopting a bonded pair—it means so much to them!

We have an #adoptionupdate from David who adopted Pedro (changed to Snickers or Sir Snickerton) in October 2006! David wasn’t looking for a specific type of cat when he came into CCS.
“Snickers loved his new home. He would run, play fetch, even bring toys to you to play with him. And when not playing he was the best cuddle/lap cat.
“Snickers loved his home. He was never sick, and just an overall great cat. Didn’t shred the furniture, or have any bad habits. Would greet you at the door and jump in your arms. He always knew it was Xbox time from the ding and would come running to be a lap cat. His favorite toy was a straw of all things. His morning ritual included the required fresh tub water. He never did learn how to roll over when playing in the dirt, he always needed to stop, stand, and flip. He also figured out how to get under the table, but not back out. And he always had to be on the tallest thing in the room.
“He recently passed away at the age of 19 from a neurological issue affecting his legs, and ability to walk without falling over. He was the best and will be missed immensely.”
It sounds like Snickers led a wonderful life, and we appreciate hearing your update, David.

We have an #adoptionupdate from Mary who adopted Lady Dixon in December 2024! Mary wasn’t looking for a specific type of cat, just one that had been in the shelter for a longer period of time.
“She is adjusting well. I had been warned she is very food motivated and she did not disappoint. She is quick to come downstairs or wake up when she smells food. She is also quick to wake me up first thing in the morning to get her breakfast. This usually consists of pawing my face and gradually extending her paws if I’m not moving fast enough.
“She seemed low energy for a bit and her new vet confirmed she needed to be back on insulin. She is back to the friendly and social cat I first adopted.
“Dixon has slowly been getting comfortable with her new home. Once she started her insulin again she seemed a little more adventurous. I’m thankful to Cat Care Society for helping me meet Dixon.☺”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Mia who adopted Miss Kitty (now Cowgirl) this past July! They weren’t looking for a specific type of cat when they came into the shelter, just one that pulled at their heartstrings.
“She’s adjusting perfectly, we already have an older cat named Moose and they are getting along great!
“She’s been surprisingly eating a great amount lol she loves all kinds of toys and she’s super playful.
“Thank you for taking care of our girl before she had her forever home <3.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Terra who adopted Twinkle (now Gremlin) this past June! Terra had been looking online and saw some good candidates but chose Gremlin because of how friendly and affectionate he was.
“He has settled in amazingly, he loves his cat scratchers and loves to play fetch! It’s so funny to see him chasing after his Kong, if you ignore him and don’t throw it again he will bite your hand, so we are working on patience manners!

We have an #adoptionupdate from Sedona who adopted Arthur (now Finneas) this past June! Sedona came to the shelter looking for a long-haired cat and found Finneas waiting!
“Finneas loves to sleep, play and get allll the attention. His favorite toys are rope toys and balls with bells, he loves his scratchers and his cat tree. He’s quite the talker and is always yapping when he wants attention or food. He’s also quite the beggar and wants everything I’m eating.”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Annette who adopted Koala (now Cooper) this past May! Annette came to CCS looking for an older, short-haired male cat, but Cooper stole her heart! He was skittish and frightened, but then he came out from his hiding place, let her pet him, did some roly-polys and she knew he was coming home with her.
“Cooper was very frightened and hid for what seemed to be days on end, only coaxing him out of his hiding spots in the room with patience and treats. He’d give me a little tiny hiss but then head butt me for scratches and soft pets for a minute or two and then back to hiding. I thought this is going to take quite some time for him to trust, but has come so far very quickly. He is now a curious, playful, happy young boy who follows me everywhere.
“Cooper is a good eater and is growing by the day. He uses his litter box faithfully. He loves to snuggle and be petted, and believe it or not, he likes to be brushed. I wasn’t sure if I could ever brush that big fluffy tail. He purrs the whole time I’m brushing him. He runs and plays all through the house with his toys. He loves climbing one very tall scratching post to groom himself while sitting atop it. And oh my gosh toy wands! He’s nuts for them and tends to gather them all in one place or another ha ha! He only uses his scratching posts, never the furniture. He’s a very smart little guy.
“I’m looking forward to many years with this boy. Thank you for allowing me to adopt Cooper!”

We have an #adoptionupdate from Hanna who adopted Bob and Pearl in October 2023. They had recently lost their senior cat and were looking for a bonded pair of kittens. Bob and Pearl were from the same litter, they saw them sleeping together in a kitten room at CCS, and knew they had to bring them home!
“We moved to Kansas about 6 months ago and they are absolutely loving their new home. We are so happy to give them more space to explore and play with each other. They love to look out the windows and watch all of the critters in the backyard.
“Bob and Pearl are the best cats we could’ve asked for. They love to play with string toys, springs, and each other! They love their crunchy treats and their Churus. Bob is the biggest cuddle bug and has never met a stranger. Pearl is our hunter and protector, but has really opened up to us as she’s gotten older.
“We adopted Bob and Pearl when they were 3.5 months old and we are about to celebrate their 2nd birthdays on 7/15! They make our house a home and we built a catio specifically for them to enjoy the outdoors!”
Please wish Bob and Pearl a happy birthday from all of us at CCS!
