CatNap Success Stories
Jalmer
Hi - I'm Jalmer. I am a senior
citizen (14+ years) and was adopted by Marge and Clyde Gourley in
Ozark, Missouri. All of their other kitties were adopted from
CatNap. The Gourley's knew that it would be hard to find a
permanent home for me because of my senior status. While
visiting CatNap they decided to take me back to Missouri to their
new retirement home. I love it here! I have five other
playmates and a wonderful home where I live. They have a great
enclosed sunroom where I rest; and also four beautiful bedrooms - I
can take my pick. You have another story on the Happy Tails
(Alumni) page with Sugar Cookie who is also one of my playmates.
Please continue to go to CatNap and adopt other kitties like me.
We absolutely love Jalmer and are happy he is
a member of our family!

Bella Sophia
We adopted Bella Sophia (Sophie for short) who was previously named
Petunia. She is having a ball in her new home and as you can
see, makes herself quite comfortable ... even in a shopping bag!
We love her lots! Thanks for the perfect pet pairing
Smokey
and Scamper
Here's
a picture of Smokey and Scamper (previously Sonny and Shade)
all grown up. We adopted them in August of 2005 when they were four
months old. As you can see they love each other very much. What's
really neat is that they really love our children (7 and 9) and are
very patient and loving with them. It was a rough first couple of
months. The kitties were so scared they would hide in the basement
and not come out. It gradually got better and now they seem very
happy. We are happy too! Scamper is bigger and loves to be in the
middle of everything. He especially loves to "help" when you're
using the computer. Smokey is less sociable, but he rarely spends
time in the basement now and he does have his cuddly moments. They
play really hard together and it is comical to watch. Scamper is
becoming more open to strangers. Smokey still disappears like smoke
the second a stranger walks in the door. He doesn't come out until
the coast is clear. Thank you CatNap for two wonderful kitties. We
love having them as part of our family.
Mr. Bo-Jangles
We
wanted to give an update on the kitten we adopted. His full name is
Mr. Bo-Jangles, but we call him Bo. It took a lot of work and
patience to get Bo comfortable with us and the new house. There was
a month of letting him hide most of the day. Just about any movement
scared him. But now that he is comfortable, he is the most wonderful
cat. All he wants is love and attention (he will also do ANYTHING
for food). He wants to be around people all the time. When he's not,
he is with his other two friends, Layla and Jackson. He is
definitely the closest to Layla, but she looks at him as a little
brother. They all have their fun together, but Bo never wants
to stop the fun. This can get Layla a little mad at her little pest
of a brother, but they truly love each other. Bo also never really
meows. Instead he chirps. It is a mixture of an insect noise and a
bird. It is the most unique thing we have ever heard. He is an all
around one-of-a-kind cat and we love him. Thank you for everything.
Hotsie,
Totsie and Buddy
Hotsie,
Totsie, AND Biscotti are all living happily together! Thanks to
CatNap Director Bobbi Meyers' cat matching abilitities, Hotsie and
Totsie were a great fit for Buddy! Buddy is quite and laid
back and it did take him a while to realize that the girls are very
rambunctious and playful. He scooted away from them initially,
but there was only a little hissing, not even much noise. But,
now that the three of them play together, it's VERY noisy!
They love running up and down the stairs and through the house- like
a herd of elephants! When they get tired, they claim the bed
... see the picture. Hotsie is the queen, Totsie is second in
command, and Buddy happily defers to both of them- he just seems to
be really content now that he has playful companions. The adoption
of all three has worked out really well!
Cleo and
Cinnamon
Cleo and Cinnamon were adopted
during the CatNap Holiday Open House. The "foster dad" was at
the shelter when the adoption took place which made a great
situation for the new family and for the foster family! Here
are some pictures of the litter, and the two happy adoptees in their
new home!

Otis (AJ)
Just a note to let
you know that Otis ,formerly known as "AJ" is doing great!
Bobbie, you picked the right personality of kitten for us. He
is so full of energy and curiosity. He NEVER stops!! He tires
my five month old Priscilla (tortie) and even has eight year old
Phoebe (tortie) running around the house playing! One of the kittens
I adopted from Cat Nap last year, Slyvester (tuxedo,aka Jeeves)
rolls around wrestling with him! Then they cuddle up together.
He really gets along great with everyone. When he finally does
tire, he runs under the covers to sleep. He is just
wonderful!!! A big time snuggler!!! He is sitting on my shoulder
,watching as I write this................ Gotta go......time to
cuddle Otis. Thanks so much!!!! Gale.
