Happy gotcha day, jake!!!

Well, Jake is safe and sound and settling in nicely. When I first got to the Saybrook Animal Shelter he hissed at me. Once I got him home and set up, he was rolling on my bedroom floor!! He's very fond of catnip. Kate, the ACO told me not to feel bad if it doesn't work out, I can always return him. THAT will never happen!!! I'll post pictures over the weekend.

Merry Christmas my BIG BOY!!!! (ALL 19 LBS OF HIM!)

I missed this completely! Happy Gotcha Day, Jake! handsome sweet tuxie boy!

If I lose another cat, I'll find an oldie but goodie to take home with me.

Jen,

Thank you for your generous offer to give him a home. I was so worried about what I'd do if he was positive. You put my mind at ease. oxoxoxox

He's definitely going on a diet. Good thing he doesn't eat canned food. He's going to fit in GREAT!!!

Jake has arrived, move in, settled in, and declared this patch as HIS! HE he heee, wonderful news, Donna.

I'm glad to hear that he's already making himself comfortable in your home.:) Now hopefully your other cats will accept him and he will also accept them. Good luck.:)

There's still some hissing (at me) but I attribute it to all the different cat smells.

Oh, Jake... Welcome HOME!!!!!!!!

Be happy,Well and keep up your ever lasting Godgivin strength to help all the cats that you help rescue.keep rescuing if you can....i wish i saw ANY cats around here.if they get out...cayotees,bears and foxes eat them for appetizers.
i haven't seen one cat outside except my neighbors...it got eaten that day.
i was so upset,but can't make waves....nieghbors and friends are good to have.
everyone has different ways of thinking and it all depends on what we all see or have seen and learned.it's noone's fault,just need education on certain things.
i know i needed talking to about outdoor cats at first:eek::rolleyes:
thankfully noone got hurt.i got my kitty in before (i myself died of a heart attack,lol)
