Dream come true!!

Hooray!!!  Dreams do come true!!  Today my new family came to meet me and take me home.  They are so nice, and I know I'll enjoy being part of their family.  How wonderful of them to give a diabetic kitty like me a home.  To all the other kitties waiting for their special person to come along, don't give up hope.  There is someone out there looking for you.

Screechy, signing off!!

My forever home?

I'm so excited!!  Guess why?  Someone is coming to meet me on Friday who just might be my forever home. I'm keeping my paws crossed.  Foster mom says they sound really nice and have another kitty and doggie for me to hang out with.  I'll let you know what happens. I think I'll start packing my bags just in case.

Until next time,

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's out there!  If you'd like to be my daddy (or mommy), please send an email to my foster mom or rescue group listed below. I would LOVE to come live with you.  Have a relaxing day!

Until next time,

Visitors

My foster family has had some company the last few days.  I loved meeting them and even sleeping on the foot of their air mattress.  When they first set it up, I tried to climb on the pillows...I thought, how nice of them to give me a bed of my very own.  Alas, the bed was for the humans, but they were kind enough to share with me.  I'm so sad they are leaving.  Maybe I should try to stow away in their luggage!  I really do love all people...won't you consider adding me to your home?  I promise to love you and all your visitors.

Until next time,

Another photo shoot!

I'm going to have to up my demands! I've had yet another photo shoot.  What is it with these humans and their cameras?  Foster mom says she wants to find that someone special who wants to adopt me and make me their forever kitty.  These pictures sure do capture my personality...playful, loving, handsome, and just all around wonderful.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/joekerstef/sets/72157634107776966/

If you would like to make me a member of your family, you can contact my foster mom at mtdenise@yahoo.com or the Howard County Cat Club at howardcountycats@earthlink.net  They'll answer any questions and even will encourage you to come spend some time with me.  I love visitors!!

Until next time,

A lazy Sunday afternoon

Happy Sunday everyone.  I usually like to chase my little toy mouse around more than in the video, but it's Sunday so I decided to take it easy.  Notice how after the second time she throws the toy I decide to roll over on my back and chill.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QICFeEWekE&feature=youtu.be 

After the video, foster mom took some photos of me to show off my healthy shiny coat and how handsome I am.  I'm so sad no one has called about me yet.  I really am a nice boy who just needs someone special to open their home and heart to me.  I'm also learning how to wave now...I get yummy treats every time I move my paw around in the air so I'm getting the hang of it.  I'm sure foster mom will stick that camera in my face again once I've mastered "the wave."   If interested in getting more information about me or meeting me, contact my foster mom at mtdenise@yahoo.com or my rescue group at howardcountycats@earthlink.net  Thanks!!

Until next time,

Some photos of me

My photo shoot went well.  The photographer couldn't believe how friendly I was.  She wasn't even here 30 seconds and I was her best friend.  She enjoyed watching me sit on command...c'mon that's easy!  She enjoyed my company so much, she wants to come back again.  I think if she didn't already have a houseful of kitties, she'd adopt me.  She said anyone who meets me would want to scoop me up in no time...I hope so.  A forever home...that's what I dream of!  Anyway, here's a sample of my photos.  I'll be posting different photos, and foster mom said she'll even take more videos of me, so check back soon to see more of my handsome self.

Until next time,

I'm a star!

Hi everyone!  I've been in my new foster home for almost a week now.  Foster mom is pleased to see my BG numbers coming down.  I'm sure the excitement of my move made them spike a little, but I'm happy, healthy, and full of life.  I love everyone I meet (I've had quite a few visitors).  Foster mom figured out I know how to sit on command!!  Big deal...after all I am a VERY SMART cat, and handsome if I do say so myself.  I've become a star as evidenced by this video on YouTube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=294KiZ0ahoQ  Check it out...it will make you smile at the Amazing Screechy! I also know I'm a star because foster mom has someone coming to take photos of me tomorrow!  I must go prepare myself for my photo shoot...wonder what I should demand in my dressing room?  Bottled water, toys, treats, and lots of food!!!!  Check back for my awesome photos!

Until next time,

Moving Day

I moved into my new foster home today.  My new foster mom was amazed at how easily I made the transition.  She actually asked if I was going to eat...ha!  I LOVE to eat.  When I saw that can of Fancy Feast, I started talking real loud so she would hurry up.  Then I chowed down and licked the plate clean.  She laughed and told me I was a great cat. Well, I could have told her that!  I then went off exploring and found some toys and a scratching post.  I think I'll like it here, but I still want a place to call my own.  It's been a long day so I'm off to bed to dream about the day I can move one last time to my very own forever home.  Night, night!

Until next time,

My story

Hi everyone!  Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Screechy, a wonderfully handsome kitty searching for a new home.

 

My story starts in a shelter in rural Virginia that does not get a lot of foot traffic or adoptions.  My dog friend and I were brought there because our human was "put away." I'm not quite sure what that means, but my friend and I were very sad and I wasn't feeling well.  Luckily, my dog friend got adopted, but the people left me behind. I guess they didn't want a smart, handsome, friendly cat. Well, their loss.  Anyway, the Howard County Cat Shelter learned about me and my story and knew I was never going to make it out of that horrible shelter alive.  Thankfully, they rescued me.  I was skin and bones and the shelter said I was just stressed and not eating.  The volunteers knew they could give me lots of TLC and have me feeling better in no time.

Once I made it to Maryland, I immediately saw the vet, who unfortunately diagnosed diabetes.  The Howard County Cat Shelter isn't quite set up to care for a guy like me who needs extra medical attention and care, so I went to a temporary foster home for a few weeks and then to another.  I was hoping I'd be at that one a while, but the resident cat was not happy that I was there.  So I'm packing my bags again and am heading to yet another foster home. 

Getting back to my health, now that I'm getting 1 unit of insulin twice a day and an all-wet food diet, my diabetes has been under better control, I'm gaining weight, and looking just as handsome as ever.  Please check back often to read about my new foster home and the progress I am making.  I can't wait to write and say that I've finally got my own forever home.  If you know someone who would love me, please have them get in contact with the Howard County Cat Club. 

Until next time,

Screechy
