An update on Ricky and Cleo

Just wanted to let everyone know how well Ricky and Cleo are doing. One of the Cat Sanctuary’s favourite “forever pairs” have found their forever home, and they couldn’t be happier. They have been through a lot, (see the Neko Files on Ricky and Cleo: http://neko-raps.blogspot.com/2010/03/ricky-cleo.html.) and spent about two years at the Sanctuary. It took them a while to get totally comfortable with us, but now they can’t get enough attention. Especially Ricky, who is a full-on lap cat. Cleo -on the other hand- is very affectionate and gentle, but definitely does not like to be picked up. She spends her time split between the ‘catio’ on our balcony chirping at birds on the feeder, or sleeping in her cat-condo. Ricky likes to sleep behind the couch or other hidden places where he feels safe. When he is awake, though, he will most likely be right beside one of us. We knew we wanted to adopt as soon as we started volunteering at the Cat Sanctuary, we just didn’t know how lucky we would get.

Thanks RAPS, for all the hard work, and for taking care of our kitties until we found them.

Papaya

I adopted Papaya, AKA Colby, on 1 June. He was a scared and skinny cat. Although he is still easily scared (you can tell from his eyes), he is skinny no more. His head has become so round and he fur shines. It takes me a almost 2 months to clip his nails as he scratches me so often but he is showing significant progress everyday. Papaya is getting along with my other lady cat. I think he still has way to go for his ultimate socialization with human. Believe me, he will get there!

Thanking all RAPS staff who took care and showed concern for my Papaya.
