Oreo (aka Spruce)

This is Oreo, aka Spruce.
We adopted him from the shelter back in September. He is doing very well and we are happy to have him as a part of our household. I have several stories to tell and will do so at a later time. Just wanted everyone to know he is doing well and we love him, he's a great dog!

Garfield

Garfield, formerly Albert was adopted by my granddaughter, Gabrielle and her family one year ago from the Copper Country Animal Shelter. Garfield was Gabrielle's 7th birthday present and on January 16th she turned 8. Garfield made an easy transition to his new family. He is an extraordinary cat! He loves the kids and does not mind being handled at all. Garfield's temperament is very laid back and he is also extremely friendly welcoming family and friends to their home. Recently, Gabrielle's older brother made Garfield a comfy bed with padding topped with a soft blanket near a window. This is turning out to be one of Garfield's favorite napping spots. He is truly loved by Gabrielle and her family and is indeed part of the family. Thank you for such an amazing pet for my granddaughter. He is well loved and happy.

Oreo

Stardust was born in August of 2004. I adopted Stardust on 3-5-05. She is a black and white tuxedo cat and I renamed her Oreo. She is a smaller sized cat with a mind all her own. Oreo doesn't mind being petted but for only short spurts. She loves to sleep by my side each night. For the past 6 years she has made herself quite at home here, she acts like she rules the roost. She loves to take naps curled up on a blanket on the sofa but prefers a nice warm ray of sunshine to bask in. Oreo is a very clean cat with shiny black fur speckled with shiny white, like her previous name as if she was sprinkled with Stardust. My home wouldn't be the same without her warm little body cuddled up against me at night. I love her.

Blackie

This is Blackie, formerly known as Salem. He was adopted by my son at the same time I adopted Stardust (now Oreo) in March of 2005. Blackie is 100% all cat. He is very solid and very muscular. He is totally black with penetrating yellow eyes and resembles a black panther. Blackie knows what he likes to eat and that is mainly poultry and meats. He loves chicken the most, but will settle for bits of pork or beef. Blackie will try to get into the refrigerator and when the door is open and he is hungry, look out! Total carnivore, but he will settle for dry cat food when he has to. Blackie has gotten a lot better with kids and now he will seek out my grandchildren for some petting and will sleep with them at night at the foot of the bed. He is a wonderful member of the family.

Kramer

Hello Everyone At CCHS!
You might remember me as "Guy", but I am now known as "Kramer". My parents adopted me almost 10 months ago, and so far life has been good. My mornings involve sleeping in, between my Mama and Dad in their warm cozy bed, going for a long morning walks, and then playing with my sister "Kloee", who you might remember as "Diamond". My parents brought her home a few months after they got me, so I would have a friend all day. We get to chase each other, cuddle, and play with our toys all day long while we are home alone. Once our parents come home, I get another long walk and then I spend the next hour playing tug of war, showing off all the tricks I have been learning (my newest one being "dance"), or snuggling on the couch. Kloee usually joins in the fun too by pouncing on me or stealing my toys.
Some of the best memories I have so far, since I came to my new home are the trips to my grandparent's cabin and playing in the lake, the 3 day backpacking trip my parents and I took through the Porcupine Mountains, snowshoeing with my Mama, and playing with my new found friend Teddy Bear (a puppy that was adopted from CCHS by my Auntie Holly S.)
Kloee and I miss you all, and hope we can get some new brothers and sisters from you in the future!!
