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.
