Once a mom, now on her own

Pardon me, I'm lamenting my former girlish figure. When the good people here at AdvoCATs found me and took me in, I was, well, knocked up. I was hungry, so very hungry. And so thin! They kept looking at me and frowing, and tsk-ing over how underweight I was. I admit, I didn't take great care of myself back then, but it's hard when you're on your own.

I'm so glad they found me. I had a room to myself where I gave birth to three beautiful kittens. I nursed them and groomed them. Two of them have moved out to homes of their own. My oldest, Reed, is here with me and waiting for his new family, whoever they are.

So I'm still here, waiting. I've gone to adoption fairs, where everyone ooooos and aaaaahhs over how petite I am, and how could I possibly have had three children!

No, it wasn't easy. But the wonderful people here made it a little less hard.

Editor's Note: Luanna was adopted by a family to fell head over heels for her. It was love at first sight. Can't blame 'em, can ya?

Rene and Ryan: Siblings ready to strike out on their own

Hi, I'm Ryan.

I'm the big brother. I look out for my sister, not that she really needs it. We live in the Playroom at AdvoCATs with a bunch of other cats and kittens. It sounds awful, but it's not, really. We have plenty of friends to play with. The people here give us lots of really good food. There's a porch where we can go sit outside, without really going outside.

But I think we're ready to find our forever home. You see, as much fun as it is to have all these friends around, it's a little crowded. I'd like to have my own space, my own bowls, my own litterbox. I know Rene would, too.

Hang on, I'll put her on...

Ummm, hi? Is this on? Well, there are my words, it must be working! OK, so I'm Rene. My brother put it all into words, so the only thing I'd add is that we'd love to stay together, but I think we could both survive on our own, so long as we had another cat or two to play with. AdvoCATs has this rule about kittens not living alone and we totally agree!

Ryan and I are both playful, but he's a little more outgoing than I am. I love a good tussle, now and then, though. So, please give AdvoCATs a call if you'd like to meet us!

Wanna add anything, Ryan?

Nope, I'm good. Happy New Year!

Editor's Note: Rene and Ryan were adopted by a very nice couple who couldn't resist their charms! They live in a great home and their vet lives just down the street!
