“To (adoption counselor) Noe and the rest of the team at the Humane Society: Wally (Walter), who was named Corey when he was at the facility, is settling into his new home wonderfully. Within a day he was comfortable in his crate, enjoying daily long walks, lots of toys, and playtime with his new brother Frank. We were ready to accommodate a much more difficult transition than he seems to be having, and it’s truly joyful to see him learning and growing each day. We’re so grateful for the care he received before finding his forever home (which he absolutely has).” 

“We just wanted to provide an update on our new little kitten we adopted back in November. Her name was Naomi, but we felt she was more of a Pepper. Here are some photos. She is doing great! She was only shy for about half a day, and then started exploring her new home. She had her first vet check-up and all is well. Thank you so much for helping us add Pepper to our family! 

Cutie pie Judith was transferred to us from a crowded rescue partner with her puppy siblings right before the holidays last year. Of course she got scooped up right away! We were thrilled to receive this sweet update from her family recently:   “Judith, we renamed her Lilo, is already adjusting to her new home and feline sibling Uma!” 

“I adopted my cat Ellie back in 2021 when she was a kitten. At the time she was very timid and scared, and needed extra love to come out of her shell. She loves to be around people, loves dogs, and sure loves to eat. We have since moved from the Sonoma area to the Sacramento area and she has become well accustomed to her home and her favorite spots. I just wanted to give an update because she truly is the best cat! She’s even featured in a calendar for this year!” 

“Hello, I wanted to share some pictures and updates as to how Mikasa (Sarah) is doing. I decided in October to adopt, I was struggling a lot with my mental health and wished for companionship. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. On our way home from the Humane Society, she was rolling around and purring in the carrier. She quickly settled at home and we had no issues with her getting adjusted. Since then, Mikasa has been quick to establish the title of diva in my house.  

“Most days you can find her with a toy in her mouth waiting for you to throw it. (Yes, I said throw it!) Mikasa’s favorite thing to do (besides eating) is playing fetch. She loves to run around the house, roll around, and show off when visitors come over. For such a little thing, she has a huge personality. My family has fallen deeply in love with her, spoiling her with toys, treats, and neck scratches. On Christmas morning, she woke up to an array of presents from both my and my boyfriend’s family.  

“Mikasa is truly loved. I thank my lucky stars every day that I get to be her mom. I want to thank you all for loving her before me. Your dedication to supporting, caring, and loving these animals truly shows with how trusting my baby was. I plan on updating you again when Mikasa turns one in July! Until then, I’ll be playing fetch and looking at the adoption success stories!” 

We adopted Dennis (formerly known as Oliver) in the beginning of October after losing a precious 14-year-old cat. Our 4 year-old cat Frank IMMEDIATELY fell in love with him and they have become the best of buddies. I thought I was getting a cat for me but really I was getting him for Frank. We are so happy to have him be part of our family and appreciate all your great work with these animals. Thank you!”
