A Note From Kobe

Dear Friends at HSNY,

As you may know, I went to my new home on Wednesday, September 26, 2012.  It was a short car ride to Long Island and then I went for a walk with my new dog friend, Scarlett and my humans....lots of grass and tress to sniff!  I get to sleep in bed with everyone and have lots of new toys to play with.  So far, so good....

"She Keeps Me Human"

Hello Humane Society of New York,

Last August I happened into your shelter with a friend, thinking I was just going to play with some kittens on a Sunday afternoon.  Instead, I ended up adopting a kitten.  

You guys had dubbed her “Lupe”, but I named her Ellie instead.  Eleanor Meowsevelt, actually, because “no one can make you feel inferior without your purr-mission” J.  I certainly hadn't meant to get a cat that day, but when I met her, I knew she and I were perfect for each other.  Apparently, you did, too.  I am so glad you did.

This beautiful cat had been one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.  She is the sweetest, softest, funniest, cuddliest cat I have ever met, and she makes me laugh every single day.  She even plays fetch (for real, she has a toy mouse I’ll throw and she’ll run and get, then bring back to me to throw again and again)!  

I don’t know how frequently you get emails updating you on the pets that are adopted from your location, but I had to share with you how much she has brought to my life.  I’m a graduate student living by myself in Brooklyn, so there are days when I’ll be studying from morning to night and wont ever leave the house, But Ellie is always with me, on my lap while I read journal articles, or helping relieve my stress with the sound of her constant purring.  She keeps me human, she keeps me smiling, and she’s very vocal, so she actually chirps back at me when I talk to her.

I want you to know how happy she and I both are together.  She found a wonderful, loving home, and I found an adorable, caring companion.  We are a perfect pair, and I look forward to having her in my life for many, many years to come. 

Thank you again!

Queen Cleopatra

Hello HSNY,

I am the woman who adopted a cat named Gina last Friday. 

I thought you might like an update on how she has adjusted to her new home, and I would appreciate it very much if you would kindly share this message with Bonnie, who handled our adoption.  I would just like to add that I considered this adoption like I would have one with a child, and it was so important that we found a cat that needed a home, and that would integrate nicely with our personalities.

I came in on a Sunday afternoon with my children, and Bonnie spent some time with us during the interview process.  I do not know how she did it, I would imagine that she has honed a gift of matching people and pets….she brought in one cat and one cat only, and she could not have made a better match!! I could not have wished for a better baby girl….she is and will be a HUGE part of our lives, and to this we are indebted to your staff and Bonnie especially.

We have given our cat another name, we call her Cleo, for Cleopatra, because she is our beautiful little queen.

When we took her home, she stayed under the sofas all of one hour and by the end of the evening she had the run of the house!

Her favorite spot is under a big wood table in the dining room, she loves lounging on the rug under there…in the evening she will sit with us on the couch, sprawling out comfortably while the 4 of us two-legged beings squeeze into the remaining space as to not disturb her highness!! LOL

I am including some photos so you can see what I mean…please share them, it means a lot that you see how happy Cleo is in her new home.

She is thriving!  Her coat is shiny and soft, and she hardly is shedding at all!  She seems very happy, she is so sweet and very friendly to all of our friends who stop by to meet our new addition.  All hail Cleopatra! LOL J

Thank you for all you and your staff do, every day, may it come back to you all in many blessings.

With warmest regards,

Cleo’s new family.

Molly

Hi HSNY!
 How are you?  I hope this email finds you well.  Samantha (renamed Molly) has really become a a true family member over the past month.  M and I feel so blessed that she is in our lives and that we have found each other.
 Attached are some photos I thought you'd find fun.  Here's Molly in the Catskills with us investigating the Espous Creek & Molly doing her famous party dance when my mom sent us a care package that included What is My Dog Thinking? She has already taught me so much.  Each day with her is a gift.  Thank you for supporting us on this journey.

Hello!

Meeting for the first time!
