Meet my new feline friends

[Elad]

As some of you may know, I used to be the proud daddy of 6 wonderful cats. When I split with my long-time girlfriend recently, we decided it was best for the cats not to be seperated from each other, since they were all from the same litter and had always had each other. So she kept all 6.

Today, I adopted 2 new companions from the local Humane Society shelter. Meet Freddie (orange/white longhair) and Jerry (tuxedo)!

28. my mom got a 11/2 yr old from the SPCA

when it latched on to her.

My mom, a bonafide cat fanatic, says that it is better to adopt a full grown kitty, because you can already tell what kind of personality it will have.

6. Orange cats are UNIQUE and I have a tuxedo cat too!!!

How wonderful are you to get full grown cats from a shelter, they are the hardest to place. Everyone loves a kitten. I am sure they will be happy with such a great companion! Congrats!!

[Mrs. Venation]

24. Jerry Looks Like Domino

a stray that Bertha and I feed. He used to roam the rural neighborhood where we live, but lately he's been sticking pretty close to our front porch. Domino is totally feral, but we love him.

[curse10]

22. They are cuties!!!!!

:-)

[LynneSin]

23. Great looking pals you got there

Almost as adorable as my Abbott!!!

I'm actually thinking of getting a second cat for my place so Abbie has someone to play with. This time I'll go through the Humane Society since it's only $75 and that includes all the shots and fixing and what not. It's not cheap taking in a stray and getting him taken care of for indoor living (It'll be over $200 by the time I'm done with all the tests and neutering). But if I didn't keep him he'd end up at the Humane shelter and they have sooo many adult cats who need homes

[proud patriot]

25. Cute

must be nice to have cats in the house again

[Elad]

36. It most certainly is

It was getting pretty lonely in here all by myself.

[Zuni]

26. The one with the tux looks really sharp

a very pretty cat. I have the same exact kitty ball as the one he is playing with in the bottom picture.

[indigo32]

27. Very Cute

I'm going to be adopting a second one very soon.

[liberalhistorian]

29. Hey, fellow cat lover!

They are absolutely adorable, good for you for adopting adults from a shelter, they so desperately need homes. I have five cats, and I could watch them all day and all night. Especially when they fight over who gets to sit in my lap, lol!

BTW, did you say you were single now? What a coinkydink, so am I! (I know, I know, I'm shameless!)

[VOX]

30. Whoa, check out these handsome dudes!

Thanks, elad, for giving these guys a second chance and a good home.

Life is so much better with cats in it! :toast:

[Zuni]

32. I once lived with a couple of friends

in Baltimore. We had no cats, and it was the first time in my life I lived in a catless home. It did not seem right. Now I live in an apartment with a cat and it seems right.

[Piperay]

31. CONGRATULATIONS

your babies are BEAUTIFUL! :bounce: :-)


Edit: spelling, that's what I get for not using the new spell check before posting.

[Maeve]

33. No, no, no! It's supposed to be TOM &Jerry!

Someone had to say it... :D

Nice looking cats!

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. Sorry 'bout the split-up but

I hope these guys ease any lonely moments you might have.

[undergroundrailroad]

35. Congratulations on Freddie and Jerry! They are so cute :-)

and so adorable. Best wishes for both Freddie and Jerry.

Happy New Year Elad.

37. Congratulations!

I lost a cat in a divorce 3 years ago; we'd had her 12 years and it was hard. Fortunately, the house I moved into came complete with 2 delightful adult cats who immediately adopted me and allowed me to move in. I'm still grateful that they let me live here.

Many happy years belonging to Freddie and Jerry!

[scarlet_owl]

38. Congrats on your new sweeties!

Kitties are the best!

[UrbScotty]

39. Kuh-YOOT!

A-DOR-able!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

40. awwww what pretty kitties...wishing ya'll the happiness kitties bring elad

:toast:

[thom1102]

41. How Beautiful!

They are truly gorgeous!
Congrats!

[Rhiannon12866]

42. What lovely cats, elad!

They are both quite unusual. I love the orange and white, since you don't see too many with long hair. And Jerry looks like he is playing, already, which is a good sign. I have had my rescue cat for almost two years and she still won't play with me! Congratulations to both you and the kitties. How wonderful that you have found each other!:-)

[Philostopher]

43. Your Jerry looks like ...

What I'm always tempted to call a 'Boo-Boo' cat. My folks and my aunt and her family, who lived next door when I was growing up, shared a couple of kittens from the same litter, both males (neither neutered, but this was the early sixties in a small, rural town). One of them was all black, the other was a tuxedo cat that looked just like Jerry.

They were born somewhere around the same time I was. Blackie was the black one (my family was so imaginative about naming animals); the tux was called Boo-Boo. Blackie was run over by a car when he was about five years old (I was in kindergarten, I remember seeing him there on my way to school one morning); Boo-Boo, who was more savvy about automobiles, must have lived to be twenty years old. He was feisty when it came to the important stuff (food, females), but he loved people and would sit and let you rub his head for hours. I still remember the old guy -- he's been my gold standard for Tomcats all my life.

At one point last October, the shelter where I volunteer had four cats who looked like that. They all came in within a couple of weeks of each other, and they all were adopted within two weeks of each other. Funny, that.

[Skittles]

44. they're gorgeous

and lucky to have you, elad. :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

45. They really are beautiful cats...and lucky ones too

I know they are in good hands with you :D

[flamingyouth]

46. Congrats, proud papa elad!

They are very lucky to have found such a kind and humane home. Welcome, Freddie and Jerry! :hi:

[Lithos]

47. Very cool cats

Cats make a house a home!

They are lucky to have such a wonderful cat slave as yourself to take care of them!
