As you may know I volunteer at ARF (Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation). For several weeks we had two kitties that shared a condo. Their kennel names were Parrot (he was solid white) and Woody Woodpecker (he was a flame point meezer, I think). Anyway I always had to walk past this condo to the volunteer room to clock in. One time I just stood and watched the antics of these two kitties. They were so cute running around and attacking each other. Also I could see their condo from the boutique while I worked.
Well, last Saturday a woman and her daughter came in to adopt Parrot. When they were paying their adoption fee I mentioned how cute the two were together. The woman said she'd love to adopt Woody as well but already had two other cats at home. The adoption counselor told her how she has 4 cats and its the perfect number.
The ladies paid for Parrot and were coming back that afternoon to pick him up with their own carrier. The daughter said - well lets go home and see how it is. The mom said - what, you think the house has gotten bigger while we've been gone? (LOL) Mom also mentioned that Dad only okay'd to get ONE kitty.
Well, I leave at 2:30. But when the website came out with pictures of the animals with their new families.. guess what?!?!?!
Yup, when they came back to pick up Parrot they adopted Woody Woodpecker too! Woo Hoo!!! I was SOOO happy!! :D :D

Sorry this is a long, rather pointless thread. But I just couldn't help feeling like I had a hand in helping Woody and Parrot stay together.

Thats a wonderful story as Parrott and Woody Wodpecker would have never been as happy if they had been seperated.
That must give you a very good feeling :):) that you were able to help these Two Wonderful Cats go to thier New Furrever Home Together!!!

Well Done Taz_Zoee

No, I have no idea if they were together before. I'm thinking not. I think Woody was there before Parrot.

Thanks everyone!! :D :D

YaY for helping out Woody, especially if he'd been at the shelter longer. I hope they both enjoy their new home together.

Nice story, definitely not pointless. :love: :)
I always say...two kitties are better than one...and three are better than two...and so on. :D
