The Joy of Adopting

Volunteering at MMCR adoption events affords those involved with our great organization to witness first-hand the ultimate goal: The adoption of our wonderful kitties. This past Saturday, one of our formerly feral kittens, Caleigh, found his forever home. Volunteer Kelly was there for the magic moment:

The woman who came to meet Caleigh was so sweet and so ready to meet him. It was very hard to get him out of his carrier, as he was very scared. Once we got him out, we placed him in the woman's arms. He calmed right down, shut his eyes and started nuzzling against her arm. Tears of joy started streaming down the woman's face. She said she knew he was made for her and she instantly loved him. It was so touching and so wonderful to see how a pet can bring so much joy to someone's life.

Be a part of the miracle of compassion: Volunteer today!

MMCR to the Rescue

                                                                                                                      

MMCR was contacted this week by an area animal control with a special request for help. Nine, eight-week old kittens were in danger of being euthanized. Each of the kittens either has or is expected to have eye problems that will require medical attention. Animal control simply could not afford to treat them. 

Without any hesitation, MMCR agreed to take in the nine babies, provide the medical treatment they need and find them forever homes!

28 Cats in Two Days!

·         On May 19^th and 20^th, MMCR attended the Michigan Humane Society's "Meet Your Best Friend at the Detroit Zoo" event. We were located right by the entrance to the event and received a lot of visitors.  Even with being between two groups with lots of very small and adorable kittens, we had a very successful weekend. We found “only-cat” homes for several of our dominant cats where they can rule the house. Two special needs kitties went to homes that will give them the love and attention they need. A number of senior cats found great new homes to enjoy their second kittenhoods in!

 

Here are the kitties who found their new best friend at the Detroit Zoo:
 

Albere, Ashes, Baby, Bobby, Buthayna, Carley, Chandler, Cosmo, Eclaire, Elso, Flossie, Friskie, Gerber, Leona, Louisa, Magdelena, Magellan, Nala, Nova, Pico, Pong, Pretty, Snowbell, Tamara and Yuli

While all this was happening at the Detroit Zoo, three kitties found their new homes through the PetSmart adoption event on Saturday: Berel, Carys, and Cobin. 

This was the most exciting weekend that we have had in years! We are so happy about the homes all of our kitties found!

Adoption Follow Ups!

April 25th

Here are some follow ups on a couple of our recent adoptions!

Botan

just wanted you to know the boys are doing great. they went to the vets and are healthy. they are getting along very good with my other babies. thank you for letting me have them they are so loving and both are sleeping with me at night they only spent one day under the bed! thank you~

Jasper

He is very affectionate - he must know how badly we needed a kitty to love.  He seems to have made himself at home and adopted us as his humans.  (He loves to play in water.  He will sit on the edge of the tub and play with the water while someone draws a bath ) Thank you so much for recommending Jasper and for the heartwarming work you do.  My son, who will be 13 tomorrow, and I are seriously considering volunteering for your organization. 

Merrit and Paul 
Paul and Petey (Merritt) are doing AWESOME!!!!  We love them.  They are best buddies and play together all the time.  It has been an adjustment since our last two babies we had for 18 years and it all just seems so new and so much fun. We have settled into a routine and every morning they get their Fancy Feast treat.  Petey has actually trimmed up a little from all the playing him and Paul do. Paul likes to chase Petey. They are both so playful. We were expecting Petey (from what MMCR staff said) to be more of a lap cat but neither of them really want to be in our laps too much.  They sleep with us and do snuggle sometimes. They also both do GREAT with my small nieces and nephews; they do not run and hide when company comes which makes us very happy. Thank you so much for what you do and for our wonderful babies.  

Yoko

I just wanted to write to let you know that everything is going good with Yoko. I renamed her Yuna and she is the princess of the apartment. My boyfriend says she is a manipulative little girl, because every time she looks at him he has to pet her lol. This has led to arguing in whose lap she should sit while we watch TV. He is so jealous she almost always chooses me. she seems to be very happy and oh does she meaw when she doesn't see people. Lol She just loves being around us. She even won over my friend who is a total dog person and has a hard time getting along with cats. I don't think anyone around her can resist her charm.

Calinda
I adopted Calinda in January and things have been great ever since! She is the perfect kitty, she loves to play and she loves to cuddle! The vet says she is average size for a cat her age. It took Calinda about an hour to adjust to her new home, she was running around and exploring right away. she loves to play in tote bags, I always seem to leave them laying around after school and she runs right into them!

BB and Fred

Fred and BB adjusted extremely well when we first introduced them to their new home. They are crack me up. Every night they are playful and wrestle with each other. The vet said they are healthy as ever. I will have to send you pictures of them napping on the couch. Thank you very much for introducing these cats into my life!
