FROM THE HOME FRONT
TALES OF THE SAFE HAVEN KITTIES
BROUGHT TO YOU BY MERRY
WEEK 11: DON’T STEAL MY FOOD!
Hi everyone!
I know almost all of you remember Miss Pepper. She’s that beautiful calico tabby with the gorgeous green/gold eyes who went home in March. Well, we have to admit that not every adoption works purrfectly, and unfortunately Miss Pepper’s didn’t. No fault of Miss Pepper—unfortunately, some unforeseen circumstances came up in her new guardian’s life and it was best for Miss Pepper to return to Safe Haven.
So, Miss Pepper is back! We think she won’t be here too long, though. A nice couple is coming to meet her next week, and we’re hoping it will be the purrfect match.
But for now, she’s downstairs in B4, making friends with Garland. We think it’s going pretty well, considering that Miss Pepper is quite the independent lady. After all, she’s a calico, just like me! And that’s ALMOST a tortie! She’s younger than me, and her coat is, well, absolutely gorgeous. It’s so soft and silky, with a very cool design. I hafta admit that I’m just a bit green with envy. I think my green eyes are glowing!
Feeding time was fun to watch this morning. Miss Pepper loves to have breakfast in bed. So Tracy has started feeding her in the cat tree. Miss Pepper is quite the lady, with good table manners. In other words, she likes to take her time eating. Garland, on the other hand, is somewhat lacking in gentlemanly manners.
Today, Garland decided he was hungry, so he jumped up on the cat tree while Miss Pepper was eating. She ran outside, ran up her ramp, turned around and stared at Tracy, watching her every move. You don’t have to speak Cat to understand “Bring me my food!” The next thing I saw was Tracy coming outside with the plate of food. And just to make sure Garland didn’t steal the food, Tracy waited outside until Miss Pepper had finished eating.
Miss Pepper loves her catio, even if she does have to share. So, as I write this, we had a slight break in the rain, and Miss Pepper? Well, she’s out there, dodging rain puddles and having a great time. She even coaxed Garland out (even without food), but he got his paw wet, decided that was a bad idea, and scurried back inside.
Even with the rain, it was another wonderful day at Safe Haven!
Lovingly,
When you think of a bonded pair of kitties who would really love to have a furrever home, who comes to mind? Peeka and Boo, that’s who! These sisters have been through so much change and loss in their lives—way too much for their 8 1/2 years! Well, they now have that furrever home they wanted, and the change in Peeka was really fast. The first night they were home, Peeka crawled up on her new dad’s chest and made herself comfortable! Here’s the first photo we got from her new family—a relaxed, friendly cat, sitting in the middle of the room, watching her mom get ready for the day.
He was a stray, pretty much on his own, until he found a house with a kitty door. So he started going in and out, and adopted the people who lived there. Of course, with a kitty door comes … kitties. There were several of them living there, and Mike must have decided that one more couldn’t hurt, so he immediately made friends with all of them. Well, most of them. He really tried, but there was one cat that did NOT like him—at all.

So, with the other kitties still scared and Garland doing pretty well, Garland got to move to the main shelter. He’s downstairs in B4, and I think he and Suzie might have a thing going. Remember I talked about the handsome bachelor cat last week? Well, that’s Garland. But now Suzie has competition, ‘cause Miss Pepper just came back to the shelter a couple of days ago, and Miss Pepper and Garland are roommates!
He loves to snuggle into their shoulder and purrs real loud so they know how happy that makes him. There must be an alarm clock inside of him because at 11 am he lets his office staff know it’s lunch time and he’s requesting that his Fancy Feast beef with gravy be warmed to just the right temperature for him.
