Izzy



We adopted Isabella in February 2009 and couldn't be happier. We were a little unsure as to how it would work out because she was such a quiet cat and didn't make a single noise on the ride home! That didn't last long. She is such a talkative and affectionate cat. She loves to give kisses and always comes to greet us at the door. She responds to "Izzy" and will coming running when we call her. She is also very playful and LOVES to play catch in our spare bedroom. We can't imagine life without her!

Hattie



Hattie was named "Hot Top" after the asphalt parking lot where she was abandoned. Her name was recently changed to the more flattering "Hattie." She's had a hard time because, while she likes feathers, she doesn't like cats, dogs, loud noises, and she's probably not fond of children. Unfortunately, PetSmart is full of all the things she doesn't like and she acts out. She does like people, when she's in a calm enough environment to relax and "let her hair down." We're looking for someone who can look past her gruff exterior to see the sweet, playful kitty this pretty girl really is.

Update: Hattie found a wonderful home with a recently married couple. She loves being an "only child."

A Second, Second Chance

Cheyenne was adopted in January and then brought back to us in June when her adopter decided to move to Florida without her. She didn't pout for long and found a new home quickly where she has a new start and a new name.

"Sophie spent the first night in my sun porch and immediately jumped up onto the cat tree in front of the window. It remains her favorite spot in the house. From there she can watch birds and chipmunks and feel the breeze from the window. She also enjoys making the rounds, investigating all the window sills, marching up and down the stairs, and rubbing all the furniture and wall corners. Sophie is very affectionate, coming often for pets and a good scratch under her chin. It turns out that she is also a lap cat and likes to sit all stretched out covering my legs like a long cat blanket. She is very sweet and settled right in. She is a wonderful and gorgeous cat."

Sweet Dreams

As you can see from the video below, Makenzie looks pretty relaxed. Watch carefully and you can see her back feet twitch as she dreams. I'll bet she's dreaming of a home of her own with a warm lap she can snuggle on. She is a beautiful kitty who is silky smooth, playful, and loves to snuggle up on a lap to be pet. Why hasn't she found a home yet? Well, she's 11 years old and it waiting for that special person who appreciates her for the loving, mature cat that she is.

UPDATE - Makenzie found a wonderful new home the first weekend in June. She may be thoroughly enjoying her new lap at this very moment.

Standing Ovation

Daisy was a semi-famous resident at our Cambridge location because of the "clap dance" she did. She would sit up on her hind legs and clap her front paws together. A PetSmart employee heard about Daisy's antics, fell in love with her and adopted her. She's been re-named Bella and her new mom caught the clapping display on video. Check it out.

Na Nu Na Nu



Do you remember that TV show where Robin Williams played an alien who said "Na nu na nu?" Then you'll recognize two very sweet little kitties named Mork & Mindy. They are siblings and they are looking for a new home together. They were left in an abandoned house with 14 cats and when they came to us they were terrified. I couldn't even get near them. But slowly they've come around. Mindy is alert and curious about everything and will stretch out her chin for pets. Mork is quiet except when he's purring then he coos like a dove. Some lucky earthling will have a chance to share a home with them.

Inseparable

Annie came to PetSmart in Cambridge back in November 2008 looking for a pair of kittens. She met Lily, Gracie, and Katie. How could she pick just two? All three sisters found a home that day. They're growing up fast. Here are before and after photos of Lily and Katie.
