Mammy aka Oatie

I'm having Mommy write this for me because I'm outside after breakfast.

I went home with her 4 weeks ago to Calumet but we all moved to my permanent home in Hancock 24 days ago.

I have so many doors in this house I got lost at first.

I've healed from my surgery and now the stairs to all 3 floors and to the basement (it's a walkout and I get to my yard that way) are easy for me to manage..

I sleep right next to Mommy's bed.

Mommy lives with her son and a border and I really like those guys. Her son (my grandson) gets on the floor and plays with me.

The other guy is so TALL but not so tall to pet me and talk real nice to me.

I let my Mommy think she's teaching me but I'm so smart she doesn't know its just natural for me to love her I and follow her directions easily.

I sit and stay and give her my paws and jump to catch the treats she gives me. See I'm training her well.

I like the walks I go on and she takes me for rides in her car. I really like that because I get to see the whole area.

I always do what she says and come when I'm called.

I miss all my peeps from the Humane Society and thank you for your care while Mommy was looking for me.

I will visit when I need to see the vet and you'll see how fast I'm growing.

Mommy doesn't have a camera so maybe you could put the picture you took of me with my letter.

P.S. I was even helping in the garden at first but I stopped that because Mommy said it wasn't time to plant.

Maybe she'll let me watch when she puts in the garden.

Sincerely,

Mammy

Danielle

Great news from Danielle!

It has been almost three weeks since Danielle found her adoptive home. She has adapted so very well to her new surroundings!

After a few short days of apprehension and hiding out in the safe haven of her basement bedroom, Danielle is now very active roaming to every corner of the house discovering and inspecting every nick and cranny. Even though she thouroughly enjoys the company of her people and our other house cat... a friendly relationship is developing... she still retreats for her mid-afternoon nap to her special pillow bed in the basement.

How Danielle enjoys attention! She thrives on petting, holding, loving! What a wonderful girl she is!

We are happy to be able to give her the comfy life she deserves, too!

Tiggy

We adopted Tiggy two weeks after my cat Midnight of 13 years passed away. I just knew a house wasn't a home without the pitter patter of four little paws..so we stopped by the Copper Country Humane Society on Saturday afternoon and low and behold there he was...furry, bright eyed and playful! It didn't take long to fall in love with Tiggy :) We took him home and he has adjusted so well it is like he has always lived here with us! Thank you so much for allowing us to adopt Tiggy, he has brought us great JOY!

Hi!

We adopted two cats from you in the end of last year - formerly known as Patsy and Ming, nowadays Vinkel and Mittemot. They are doing great and are such a delight to us every single day. They really like each other, not to mention us humans, and they are keen to participate into
everything we do. I mean everything! When my boyfriend is coding, Mitte purrs loudly in his lap an tries to tap the keyboard with his paws. When I'm drawing, Vinkel climbs on the table and sets herself lying in the middle of my paper... and so on! :D I have even taught Vinkel a couple of tricks: she can beg, give a high five and jump through a loop. How about that!? She's the smart kitty. Mitte is big,
handsome and totally lovable - but unfortunately not as bright ;) Maybe he didn't make it in time for that line where smarts was given, for he was taking an extra portion of chilling.

They are adorable, we have not had a single problem with them. Most well behaved cats I've ever seen - we haven't had a single bite or scratch or anything during these months! And we have been forced to give them de-worming pills and stuff, and you guys know how hard that can be! Even then, no aggression at all, even if it would be totally understandable. (We have been volunteers at a Humane Society in Finland, and had all kinds of abandoned cats in our household before they were okay enough to get a permanent home, so we have a pretty good perspective regarding cat behavior :) )

Thank you so much for trusting us with these amazing pets! We have been making preparations since last year, and in a couple of months we will be taking the cats with us to Finland. We are already practicing using the pet carrier for several hours at a time, and the little furballs are doing great at it. We have been joking with my boyfriend that these fellows are the best souvenir ever - no need to dust them! On the contrary, they dust everything else!

I will leave you with a picture of the two :)

All the best,

Hanna
