Love at First Sight

Cody is a two year old kitty who was found as a stray. Isis came from a home with far too many pets and she's had at least one litter of kittens. Although she's only two years old, she is so petite she looks like a kitten herself.

When Cody and Isis met, it was love at first sight. Cody loves to bathe Isis ...



And bathe Isis ...



And sometimes a wrestling match breaks out.

Pictures worth a thousand words

Cherry came to us from a home with 18 cats. They were all very nice, friendly cats and were adopted quickly. (Cinnamon from my previous post was the last of the bunch to find a home.)

Cherry was a kitten and accustomed to lots of playmates. Normally, we would want her to go with a home with other feline friends. But, Hidetomo and Yoko met and fell in love with her. They moved here from Japan and Yoko, who is home much of the time, wanted a playmate of her own.

It looks like a great match. They renamed her "Kaki" which means "those who bring us luck and happiness" in Japanese. If you like cute photos of cats, check out Yoko's blog: http://ameblo.jp/yo-neco/theme-10020927917.html If you can read Japanese, even better.

Here's a sample:

Five things about Cinnamon

Cinnamon had some babies.



She loves her toy.


She loves belly rubs.


She has speckled toes.




And she's looking for a home.

Sweet Adelaide

"Addie, which I decided would be short for Adelaide, is very happy with her new single-pet home. Sometimes the neighbor's dog can be heard barking, which she doesn't like, and she is still afraid of looking out the windows and the outside, but she is very at home here on the inside! Addie has been sleeping at the foot of my bed with me for about a week now, and greets me with purrs and headbuts when I come home. Believe it or not, she actually comes out when I call her name! She still loves being brushed and purrs the entire time, and adores her toy mouse and catnip kickaroo and strings, stalking them and pouncing. We are having a great time together! Thank you to everybody at FARS for taking such good care of Miss Adelaide until she found me!"

Newest Members of the FARS family

Raquel (Rocky) is less than 2 years old but has already had lots of kittens. Sadly, her people put the kittens out on the street as soon as they were weened. Eight week old kittens should not be living outside on their own.

Rocky was transferred to us and as soon as Raquel arrived at her new foster home, she started giving birth. This will be her last litter. As soon as they are old enough, Rocky and her kittens will all get spayed/neutered and find loving new homes.

Just Because I Want to Hide, Doesn't Mean I Don't Like to Play

Poor Tux is a scaredy-cat. Since he moved into our loud, bustling Adoption Center he's spent much of his time hiding in his tent. He likes being pet and will purr loudly. And, as you can see from this video, he likes to play.



Tux is looking for a nice quiet home where someone will be patient with him until he's comfortable enough to play and get pets at home.

Aspiring Soccer Star

Willow is a very playful boy. He loves to chase balls and jump high to catch feather toys. He's looking for a home with someone who will be amused by his antics.

Another Reason Why It's Hard to Photograph Kitties

Sometimes they try to eat your camera strap. Like Addie demonstrates:

Why photographing kittens is so hard

Most pictures I take of kittens look like this one of Daphne.



Here's a video of Miguel that illustrates why. (If you pay attention at the end you can hear him purr).



And here's the one successful photo I got of Miguel.




UPDATE - Miguel and Daphne found a home together!

Finger Licking Good

Midnight is a young cat who craves attention. He just arrived at the Cambridge PetSmart and he did not want to stay still for his photo. So, I took some video.

I promise, I didn't have anything tasty on my fingers. He just love to groom.

Banana and Pumpkin - Great Together

Anastasia is a pretty little Tortie. She was one of those cats that took longer than usual to adopt and no one knew why. She's a great kitty as her new family can attest. They call her "Anna Banana" and have this to say:

"She is doing incredibly well, has lost some of her extra weight, and is quite the character. She and our other cat, Pumpkin, are little friends!"

Living Large

Daniel is a big cat with a big personality. He doesn't throw his weight around, he's gentle and sweet - even through all his ups and downs. Daniel was adopted and returned once but is now in his permanent home and "living large."
