Hi Melanie, I have attached some pics of Lucas. He is doing great. He sleeps in bed with us at night and likes to be near us all the time. He is a very friendly kitten. We are very happy with him.  Lila





Here are a few words from our Adoptee's:
Hi!  Things are going great!  She is the sweetest thing.  The kids love her and she is very gentle with them as they are with her.  The kids chose the name "Munchkin" as they were eating donuts at the time.  I thought it would eventually be a cute name as she will probably end up being a larger kitty.  Take care and we will keep in touch.  Thanks, Megan



Our life is simply alot more fun with these 2 young souls bounding about.   Thanks MoM MELANIE! -for sharing joy.     IL'll share pictures when I get a chance.    I think of you and your cat family  most every day.   Best regards, Caroline



These kitties are so adorable.  I couldn't figure out which one was Harley and which one was Bella.  I got the darker one and Mark got the lighter one.  ????  They follow us around - so funny.  Yesterday my big cats started playing with them.  They are all ok now.   You failed to tell me that I would have my toes eaten early in the morning.  This morning, Mark and I were laughing in bed because they'd go from his toes to my toes.  They are eating well and are such a joy to have around.  They are very talkative and let me know where they are or what they want when they want to.  My God they are so much fun and so beautiful.  You make wonderful kitties.  I thank you.   Denise



Melanie - for months, Patricia and I have said to ourselves that we should contact Melanie and tell her how happy we are with Skipper, our Coon kitten, so I am!  First, it is obvious that you provided a nurturing nursery for Skipper.  Once we got him home, he never looked back and simply took over the family.  He has the best disposition of any pet we have ever owned.  Very loving and affectionate. We of course spoiled him with tons of toys.  At 4:30 am, he brings his toys up to the bedroom and lays them on top of the bed by our faces, purring, wanting us to play.  He actually fetches - we throw a catnip-stuffed toy and he bounds after it and brings it right back.  He is beautiful and now at eight months, quite large.  I imagine that he weighs over 12 pounds.  The tail!!  He walks around carrying his tail straight up in the air - this huge beautful fluffy tail!  He is an indoor cat, but we take him out on a harness and leash, and he does pretty good for a cat.  Attached are some pictures.  Eventually, we will want another one, so we want to stay in touch!

Hi Melanie,
Buzz is adapting very well to his new environment. He spent the first couple of days exploring his new home and he knows how to get his new parents to meet all of his needs. We took him camping last week, for three days, and we are currently at Horseneck State Beach Campground. He loves it here for he has our complete attention 24 hours a day.  He is grown significantly in the last week and a half. Thank you for him; he is such a blessing to us.
God bless, Lisle




Hi Melanie,
I just wanted to send you an email and tell you how absolutely in love with our new kitten we are. He is absolutely adorable, and we love all of his markings, and is so cuddly. He is adjusting very well to his new surroundings and has taken to the kids very well. We decided to name him Ozwald, I call him Wallie, and Paul calls him Ozzie. I'll send you pictures soon. Thanks again for such a beautiful kitten!!

Well, guess what.....Teddy has arrived....a day early! What a love!!! He slept almost all the way home in the car...all stretched out...comfortable. He sat up when we were about five houses away...as if he knew we were home! After sniffing every corner of every room...he checked out the windowsills and the birds caught his attention. He's now in the living room playing fetch with Bob. Bob throws the mouse out to my office...Teddy runs in, grabs it and brings it back to him. This will be all for photos today...off to play with my new kitty! To the BARNCAT Maine Coon Cattery...THANK YOU!!!! You have helped to mend my broken and heart and I must say...this is the most well adjusted cat I have ever met!!! Shows how well he was loved and how beautiful his soul is because of YOU. ♥ and hugs to Keira
I cannot thank you ladies enough.  Teddy is amazing.  He is so well adjusted and comfortable.  It's like he's been here forever and it's only been three hours.

THANK YOU!!!!!
hugs from our corner,
Arline, Bob and Teddy

While her given name is Unity, I've given her a new name.  It is Rafiki from The Lion King and means "my friend" in Swahili.  Seems appropriate because she follows me every where.  Even sleeps right up against me all night.  She's perfect - just what I wanted.

Kittery is doing great- we are just in love with her :-)  She is so beautiful and seems to be growing up so fast!  Her newest trick is jumping about halfway up my leg (when I have pants on!) and sticking there like velcro - especially when I'm working in the kitchen!  She frequently likes to be vocal to talk and has conversations with us about very important kitty issues!   
She and our Molly cat are now good play friends and love to chase each other all over the house - which is exactly what they are doing right now as I'm writing.  They take turns being the chaser and chasee.  She loves her pom pom sparkle balls and carries them all over the house as well - they're almost as fun as her tail to wrestle with!   Kittery has her next appointment with the vet on the 19th for her next round of baby shots.  I'm sure Dr. Matz will give another listen to her heart then as well. 
Again, we can hardly wait to introduce her to her half-brother - I'm sure we'll have a threesome stampeding around the house in no time!
We can't thank you enough for our precocious, sweet girl - she is such a joy!  I'm sure Hagrid will be equally wonderful.

Thank you again :-)
Warmly,
Karla & George

Melanie,

I wanted to let you know that Troy is doing well!  We call him Deacon which he has transitioed to quite nicely!  He's quite smart and intiituve!  I see what you meant about the mischeifious part!  He's quite entertaining to watch.  He's a love and follows me around with my dog and other cat.  I can't thank you enough!  We are very happy with him and he's adjusted quite well with my other cat.  Please see the attached pics.  I think you will get a hoot out of it!

Dear Melanie,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that Hunter & Archer are doing wonderful. Both adjusted very quickly to their new home and enjoy running around the house and playing with us and all their toys. Archer (aka “Little One” or “Spaz”) is as fearless as he is loving and affectionate. Hunter displayed a bit more caution at first and usually lets Archer go first (although, it’s usually hard to stop Archer from being the first to everything). Today we visited the veterinarian, Dr. Manley with Apple Country Animal Hospital in Stow, MA and all checked out just fine. Everyone fell in love with them and can’t wait to see them on our future visits.

I will send some pictures over the upcoming weeks – it’s hard to keep them still long enough to get a snapshot : )

Thank you again for allowing us to adopt these fabulous babies!

Warm Regards,
Stacey

Hello ladies,  I have been meaning to email you to let you know just how absolutely wonderful Pumpkin is!! She is so lovable!!! The first night here she sat on my lap for hours while we were all watching a movie!!  She has really bonded w/one of my cats.  The other one is now starting to acknowledge her..at first he would just run away, but they are all adjusting wonderfully.  Everyone just loves her...especially my husband!  We can not wait to add Asher to our family as well.  I can either come to pick him up on the 23rd or the 28th..which ever works better for you.  I also wanted to tell you how impressed my vet was when I took pumpkin to see him.  He said he could tell she came from a wonderful breeder who really cared about their cats.  I am so glad I found you guys!
