Luke and Lylah's Happy Tail

The Pulliam Family writes:"Hi. We are the proud owners of 2 beautiful kitties adopted from FPAC on January 6th 2009. We had decided to adopt a cat (or two) and looked up the local shelters in our area and came across FPAC. After speaking to the nice woman who worked with the shelter, my daughter and I visited to see if we could find our new additions. We did.....When we first walked into the room we were greeted by about 10 cats of all ages. We petted them all and got to know them a bit before Luke (one of our adoptees) came up to me. I was not giving him the attention he wanted so he climbed up my shirt and into my arms. After he got where he wanted to be, he gave me lots of affection and kisses. From then on, he was mine. Now Lylah (our other adopted kitty) is Luke's sister. She was a little stand-offish at first. But, my daughter was sitting in the floor and Lylah just went over to her and laid right in her lap. My daughter decided that was the one she wanted (as if she had any choice!). We filled out the paperwork and they were ours.The shelter and the people who work there are so nice. I called and emailed for information a few times before we made our visit. The staff gave me the best description of the animals they had, so I had a good feeling that I would find my new companions. Luke and Lylah were pretty frightened when we first got them home. After all, the shelter was the only home they had ever known. We did not really see them for about 4 days. They both hid behind the washer and dryer and only came out if no one was home or we were in bed. But after a few days they did come out. It took another day or so before they would let us pet them, but they came around. Now, 8 months later, they are both the biggest lap cats and cuddle bugs you have ever seen. They have adjusted well and have gotten so big! They have the complete run of the house and can do as they please..within reason. If I had to guess, I think they are happy here. I know that, in the future if we decide we want another pet, FPAC will be the place we go."

Strawberry's Happy Tail

Strawberry came to FPAC with a litter of kittens. She was a very good mommy, raising her babies and then fostering all kinds of abandoned kittens, caring for them just like her own. When the kittens were all big enough to be weaned it was time for Strawberry to find a home of her own. A wonderful family spotted her online and adopted her. We were all very happy for Strawberry even though we would miss her greatly. She is one special girl. Wendy (her new mommy) wrote:"I was searching for a ragdoll on petfinder.com and when I saw Strawberry's picture I fell in love instantly. I was looking for a playmate for my 1 1/2 year old seal point domestic shorthair that my husband found in a tree. I e-mailed Jeri, a volunteer for the Farmington Pet Adoption Center, on a Monday. She e-mailed back almost instantly to let me know that Strawberry was available still and how sweet and adorable she is. Strawberry arrived at her forever home on that Thursday. She can now stop dreaming little kitty dreams about a forever family! Thanks ladies at the Farmington Pet Adoption Center. I encourage anyone seeking a pet to adopt one of the many needy pets from here or your nearest shelter. I wish I could have brought more than just Strawberry home with me."Here are some pictures of Strawberry in her new home. Thank you Wendy and family for adopting this precious kitty!
