My story is about Lexi, formerly known as Janie. Lexi is a perfect fit into our lives! She goes to work with us every day, has her own office chair, with a pillow of course, that she sits on beside me as I do my work, she loves going "bye-bye". She gets a bit sad when it's a day off of work and we spend it at home. She picks out her clothes each day before heading off to work, hops in the car, and we're off! We have found the perfect groomer, who takes the extra time with her to make her comfortable before getting groomed, her Mommy was more nervous about the first time than she was! We've had Lexi with us for about 2 months now, and can't imagine our lives without our little Lexi-poo!! A HUGE thank-you to Paradise Animal Rescue for helping us find our perfect dog!!
I adopted Lilli (a.k.a. Winter) in May 2013 from Paradise Animal Rescue. Adoption is very important to me, so PAR was one of the first places I thought of when I considered a new companion for myself and my adult cat Luka, who I saved from a kill shelter a couple of years earlier. Because my cat thinks he’s a big kitten and can be a rambunctious player, I wanted to make the best choice in order for a happy companionship for both. I put a lot of serious thought into the right age, personality and energy level of the new addition. I first studied each cat’s profile on PAR’s website and then visited their wonderful residents several times. Every person I met at PAR during those visits was welcoming and helpful when I explained that I was searching for the right fit. When I first met six-month-old Lilli, she had very recently been surrendered. I was instantly charmed by her but wanted to give her a chance to settle in before making such an important decision. When I visited her again a few days later, I knew she was the one! Lilli is a very playful, curious, independent and affectionate girl. After a slow but steady introduction period, she and Luka quickly adjusted and became instant playmates. They love to wrestle, chase each other and play king of the mountain on their cat tower. One of Lilli’s favorite games is to launch surprise “attacks” from hiding spots as her brother passes by. I don’t have to spend a lot on cat toys because their favorite is crumpled-up pieces of paper! I would like to thank everyone at Paradise for the opportunity to provide Lilli her loving forever home and for all of their important work in enriching the lives of both animals and people.
Good afternoon! I just wanted to share some photos of ‘Dustino,’ formerly known as Dusty the cat at Paradise. Since I am Italian, he didn’t mind the name modification to fit right into the family! He has made himself at home and is sooooo happy and cute. He is becoming a wonderful companion animal and is fun, responsive, affectionate and well-behaved. Though he’s over 2 years old, he has been getting in touch with his ‘inner kitten’ and it’s a joy to see him run through my hallway and chase his toys. I just love him! He is so sweet and cute and such a great, great cat. I had been without any companion cats for more than a year when the "youngest" of a group of four I'd started out with more than 20 years ago passed away. I am so grateful that I waited for the "purrfect" moment to be ready to adopt and that Dustino was there for me. Pictured above is Dustino in my kitchen, looking out my living room window and taking a “catnap” on my sofa. I just thought I’d share as I know he was a favorite of some of the volunteers there. Sincerely, Catherine Proud owner of Dustino the great
We just adopted Roo yesterday, 3/22/2013! He is an awesome cat! He is comfortable with his new home already, and with our dog Doober, who we also rescued from PAR 2 years ago! Roo is special because he has a gimpy back leg. He was injured when he was young and his leg fused together and he can't bend it. The people at PAR were worried that no one would want him because of this. Well let me tell you, he can jump as high as any other cat and run just as fast too! He is a lover and the first time I held him, he nuzzled his head under my chin and stayed there! I fell in love with him right then and there! His cute nose and his gimpy limp add to his wonderful personality! He already has a nickname: Roo Boo Kitty!
Hi all, we wanted to give you an update on Smurf (formerly known as Bruce). According to our vet Dr. Bobby (Daley Rd Animal Care) he just celebrated his 1st birthday! He has adjusted to life on the farm very well. At first it was hard to get him into a car but now you cant even mention the word car or he thinks he needs to ride shotgun! He loves our son Adam, meets him everyday when he gets off the school bus, they come inside and wrestle! When they are finished Smurf sits on Adam...We think its his way of saying that hes won! He loves playing with our cats Bandit and Mittens, or maybe play isnt the right word he loves chasing them and terrorizing them! When he goes outside to play he chases after the hens and then the rooster Hank chases him. Then he antagonizes Hank, and Hank starts chasing him again. Its difficult to get his attention once he is pestering Hank to get him to come inside. He absolutely LOVES being outside! We couldnt have asked for a better dog, hes great loving and a big galute!!! And the best welcoming committee ever! Thank you for picking us to be his family!!!
