Cat of the Week: Kitty

 Kitty is a good girl, she had a very tough time when she came to MKK. She was so upset and depressed to be dumped by her owners and then to have to live in a cage, well, that was the final straw! She is now much happier with a room of her own to run and play in and look out the window.

She enjoys the presence of people and looks forward to the company and petting. She also does well with mellow cats that she can hang out with, but aren't too rambunctious. Kitty is very healthy, eats very well, uses her litterbox religiously and would love a warm home to spend time with her new family.

She is lonely for that life again and hopefully someone out there can give her the new forever home that she deserves. Are you that someone? Kitty is declawed so she needs to be indoor only!!

She will sleep with you and let you know when it is breakfast time, no need for an alarm clock when she is around!

Happy Tails



Hi remember me- Dillon? I am in my new home thanks to someone who was looking for a big, vertically challenged cat to love. I am so thankful he picked me! I spend my days lying around- and lots of sleeping!

I also like to watch the birds fly around right outside the window- they go to the tree, the feeder, then back to the tree- it is great! Downstairs I watch the chipmunks and squirrels run across the patio and they do not even know I am there!

My four step sisters (Peanut, Zoe, Minnie and Matrix) have been welcoming. Matrix has been the last to accept me - she has been afraid of me- I can't understand why, maybe it is my size?? Little does she know I am a big teddybear and will just love her.

Happy Tails

"Hi, Just a quick update on Spirit and Sky. The ladies have adjusted very well. They both sleep with me at night. Spirit greets me at the door when I get home, "Queen" Spirit waits for me to go greet her and give her a treat.

"They still are a little timid with strangers but got along well with my grandchildren, I actually got a little jealous when Sky was loving my granddaughter, Patricia, so much. But I know we have bonded well because they both will come looking for attention and tend to follow me to any room I'm in for any length of time."

Cat of the Week: Cuddlecake and Penelope

Penelope & Cuddlecake are a mom (tortie) and son (tiger) pair and would like to remain together.

The name, Cuddlecake fits him to a tee. He has a purr that won't quit, and REALLY wants you to pat and cuddle him. In return he will nuzzle and cuddle you right back. Cuddlecake is a handsome, lanky tiger - young, playful and energetic, with a lot of affection to share.



Mom, Penelope, is a bit more sedate and quiet, but equally affectionate, and loves attention and brushing. She loves windowsills and will give a little call out the window to see if anything answers.

This sweet pair will make wonderful additions to the right forever home. They are both at our Granby shelter, so stop by this weekend if you'd like to meet them!



Penelope & Cuddlecake are up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

A phone update on Lexi:

"She seems just fine. She’s more comfortable than I am! She sleeps on the pillow probably more than I do.

"I think she also likes the military channel since she sat down and watched a whole show with me. She also loves classical music – She sat next to me and listened to all of “Scheherazade” (Rimsky-Korsakoff), and was very calm by the second movement. She’s happy. She doesn't go near the door, and she kisses on command!"
