Griffey

Dear HSNY,

My name is M and I am writing to update the wonderful staff at the Humane Society of New York about the adorable kitten, Griffey, my boyfriend, D and I adopted last week. Please be sure to share this email with Bonnie and Lowell as they were integral in helping us to select our little guy.

Since coming home last week, Griffey (formerly Mascot and now named after baseball great Ken Griffey Jr.) has completely blossomed. After spending about a day and a half under the sofa, Griffey emerged and has since become a wonderfully social kitten. He is extremely cuddly, plopping himself in our laps whenever we are on the couch and purring loudly. Griffey has also become quite the athlete and rockets himself around the apartment with his stuffed owl or chasing the ball around the track in his scratching toy.

While he may have lost the timidity that he had at the Humane Society of New York, he still has the same voracious appetite, to which Bonnie and Lowell can certainly attest! He gobbles all of his food the minute it is put in his dish and is immediately ready for more. The second anyone sets foot in the kitchen he comes running just in case there might be the possibility of more food. Overall, Griffey is a very quiet kitty, but he squeaks up a storm (he still hasn't figured out how to do a full meow) when we are in the kitchen, making his case for another can of food!

D and I could not be happier with our little guy and our so very thankful to Bonnie and the Humane Society of New York for helping us to find Griffey! Attached are some photos of him from his first week with us.

Thanks!

M, D, and Griffey
