This week, it’s Ruth and Baby!

No one should ever put this Baby in a corner!!!!!
She's:
Fun
Social
Playful
Gorgeous
Cuddly
Good with other non-aggressive cats
Accepting of quiet, gentle dogs.
If my furry family at home had all these amazing qualities going for them, I would be taking Baby home in a heartbeat! Since my home is not so perfect for Baby, maybe yours would be. Come on in and meet our sweet girl, and see if she can dance her way into your life.

This 💕Caretaker Tuesday💕 Tina tells us all about two of our youngest residents!

Kayak and Canoe, these two peas in a pod have been with us since before they could even open their eyes! It's truly been a blessing to watch them grow into the confident, funny, curious, loveable boys we at Wishbone House know and love 💖 Full of playful energy, these boys know just how to make you smile when you've had a bad day. Kayak loves to climb on your shoulders while you work just to be even closer to you! And Canoe is always the first in line to get some hearty pats as soon as he sees you! I always said, if I didn't already have cats of my own, I would have snatched these perfect boys up long ago!

💕Caretaker Tuesday💕
Karen D. here on this Caretaker Tuesday. For the past several weeks, I've had the opportunity to spend many quiet moments getting to know and becoming friends with a gentle, small bundle named Little Louisa. She'll be seven years old in November, weighs less than nine pounds, a picture of health. Her coloring is called "dilute tortoiseshell", which is the definition of having a coat of the softest gray and peach coloring. Those colors match her personality . . . soft, soothing, peaceful.

I've approached her slowly, while each week she gave more of herself as the trust came. Today I held her, close to my chest, her whole body relaxed into me. There we were, her head tucked into my hand and her purring the most beautiful sound.

She came to us during the beginning of the summer with 11 of her friends who had been living together. The time had come for them to find new homes and they needed help to make this happen. What different personalities those dozen revealed to us, from those quite quickly taking center stage, venturing out, to those holding back, while they learned countless details about each of us taking care of them. Little Louisa is into learning countless details and that takes time.

We've become aware that while she is with us, she is most content in the company of one of her cat friends, especifically Rex. They even created a game where they bat a cloth toy mouse back and forth to each other, playful as kittens.

How did these past weeks evolve for our girl? Quite beautifully. Week by week, a bit more and a bit more, from beginning to "trill" to us from under her blanket, to cautiously coming to sniff our hands . . . and then today I held her close . . . I held her close! I love being a part of Wishbone House. Time is different there.

Here she is. She is a treasure 💖

Punk!
This lovely orange boy is anything but a punk 😂 He is your typical orange cat, SUPER FRIENDLY. The second you walk into his room he makes his presence known and makes it known he is ready for some attention! With a face like his, how could you say no?!

Come meet Punk and his friends!

💕Caretaker Tuesday💕
Sue S here again. Let’s meet and say hello to five-year old Bubba J! He’s a sleek, slender creamsicle boy with beautiful orange patches on a background of snowy white. While some orange cats are loud and rambunctious, Bubba J is a gentle soul. He can be a bit shy at first, preferring to watch from a safe distance until he knows the coast is clear. However, once he warms up to you, he is absolute sweetness. He’ll softly ask for your love and reward you with the quietest, most rewarding purrs. He loves to play, so definitely bring out those toys and watch his adventurous spirit unfold!

Because he takes a moment to show his big heart, Bubba J would thrive in a low-activity, quiet home with a patient adopter. While he has been in with other cats at Wishbone, I feel he will excel on his own or possibly with another calm cat who will not overwhelm him. He’s stolen our hearts here at Wishbone, and, I (we) hope he can steal yours, too.

Come and meet Bubba J Monday-Saturday from 12-4 pm.
