"Saving one pet won't change the world, but surely the world will change for that one pet."

This handsome little tiger kitty, Foxtrot, was adopted into a loving home last weekend. What a lucky guy - the photos show just how much fun he is having. Foxtrot came to Cause 4 Paws as a shy little baby, rescued from a backyard in Northern NJ. His 3 siblings were not shy and got adopted very quickly. Foxtrot had to wait for just the right home to come along - someone who would have the patience to let him come out of his shell on his own terms. As you can see, the perfect home has come along and Foxtrot looks like he is living happily ever after!

"Just wanted to let you know that Foxy is doing great. He stopped hiding a couple of days ago. He's very affectionate, purrs like a little engine. He even played with my 7 and 9 year old nieces. I think he's going to be very happy here. Thanks so much for everything. We are all in love and so glad to have him. I've attached some photos that I took today."

"We adopted "Little Bit" from you, from the pet store in Madison in 2004, (aka...Nimue). Since then poor Nim has lost her 11 year-old-sister to cancer. But last year she gained a 2 year younger brother (Clive) and recently, a 4 year younger sister (Ruby). Nim has adapted to all of these changes in the household beautifully and is now TOP CAT. She loves to race with both her sibs and has even taken up the role of big sis to her the recently added Ruby. Enclosed are a few pics of our little brood. No longer the dwarf kitten, but a healthy 9 pound cat. Just wanted to give you a little incentive to keep on doing what you guys do. You definitely make families happy and the little homeless ones too.

Firefly is so very happy to have found a wonderful and loving home with Linda and Kristin. Born in Chinatown in Brooklyn Cause 4 Paws rescued Firefly and brought her into a loving foster home. Now she has a permanent home to call her own! An early Christmas present, Firefly loves her new family -- she is right at home - playing and curling up with her new family.

This lucky little kitty was rescued from a shelter in January. She is now living the life of luxury with her best new human friend and the rest of the family. Doesn't she look absolutely content? This is what makes fostering such a worthwhile endeavor. Thank you to Peppermint Patty's new family for giving her such a wonderful home.

Lawrence's request to Santa was answered! Our sweet foster kitty, Lawrence, was pictured on our website for the last few weeks with a photo of him on Santa's lap. It seemed to us that Lawrence was asking for a great forever home for not just him, but his foster sister Lucy as well. You see, Lawrence is such a sweet and affectionate kitty, that he could have had a home some time ago. But, Lawrence is the caretaker for his special sister Lucy. Lucy has neurological problems caused by a virus that she had as a baby. The virus left her with lots of shakiness, so she stumbles and falls down frequently and is not graceful as most kitties are. Lawrence is much bigger than Lucy, but had a special bond with her, and let her follow him wherever he went. His tolerance and caretaking even went so far as to include permitting Lucy to knead on him and suck on his neck as if he were her mother.

We just couldn't see how Lucy could thrive without Lawrence. Christmas came and went with no home for Lawrence and Lucy. Then, on December 29th, a mother and her daughter came into our adoption event looking for a little kitten. They spent a long time looking at the cats and kittens and took a liking to Lawrence (although he's certainly not a little kitten anymore!) because he was so affectionate. Lucy also seemed to bond with them and was comfortable in their arms. It certainly was not their intention to adopt TWO bigger kittens, but...as pictured here, Lawrence got his wish from Santa!!!

Many, many thanks to this family for having room in their hearts for these special felines!

"Milo is doing very well. The dogs get along great with him. I'm able to leave them all home in the house together without any worries which is a wonderful feeling. How was your Christmas? Mine was pretty good. Just a lot of running around. I just wanted to send you a Christmas picture of Milo with his snowflake shirt. haha =o)

All of us at Cause 4 Paws wish our adopted cats and kittens and their new caretakers well!
