Veronica

Veronica came to SCP in 2007 when a good Samaritan picked her and her two children up in her neighborhood after they had been dumped there. Veronica’s children were quickly adopted and Veronica went into one of our foster homes. Veronica lived up to the reputation of a tortie. She was strong-willed and wanted things done on her terms. As Veronica grew to be more comfortable in her foster home, her personality blossomed. She was sweet, playful, clever, affectionate and extremely social. After several months, Veronica’s behavior at adoptions began to deteriorate. Clearly unhappy, she would growl, hiss, spit and lash out at anyone who crossed her path. Yet, the moment she was in the car to go home, she was fine. Veronica’s foster mom, Karen, realized that Veronica was sending a message… she already found her forever home. Karen adopted Veronica in December 2008. All of us at SCP send our thanks to Karen for listening to Veronica and giving her the wonderful home she deserves.

Muttley

Muttley, and many of his friends, came to SCP when the woman that had rescued them died. Unfortunately, things must not have been going well for the woman. When Muttley was first found, Animal Control thought he was dead. He was rushed to an animal hospital to be stabilized. Muttley was in bad shape. He had lost over half of his body weight and was missing a lot of his fur. Thanks to the wonderful care of his foster mom and the volunteers that showered him with love, Muttley thrived. Muttley has a hematoma that has been repaired giving him that crinkly ear look. It just makes him look more adorable. He is a wonderful, loving cat. He loves people. Muttley also loves to eat. Lauren came to one of our adoptions looking to adopt an older cat for her family. We showed her Muttley and explained his background and potential problems. Lauren decided that Muttley was the one for her family and took him home. After the first week of adjustment, Muttley decided that this was his forever home. Lauren and her family love him dearly. Lauren tells SCP that Muttley, dubbed Mr. Mutt, is a polite gentleman, the most good-natured and gentle soul. Muttley loves to get treats from their kids and to sleep between her and her husband at night. Lauren says it was “love at first sight”. It seems like a perfect match. She tells SCP that Muttley is everything her family wanted in a new kitty, and she is grateful that he was given a second chance so that he could find his way home to them. SCP sends lots of kitty hugs and kisses to Lauren and her family for giving Muttley his forever home. Special hugs toMuttley from his foster mom.
