So I guess they meant what they said when the Cheery Cat Rescue folks told us that they would bring us in and help us find our people. There’s been a lot of adoptions going around, and apparently I need a profile to help me find my family. Here goes nothing.

My name is Clover and a good name it is, one of the first plants to green up in the spring, I love to get a head start on things. Okay, one thing: Play. I LOOOOOVE to play. I like to play more than I like to eat, or nap, or cuddle, and I’m pretty fond of those things as well. I guess you could say I’m a ‘Player’ first and foremost[1]. If you’ve visited us at Cheery, I am usually the first Spring you will see. My sisters are very nice cats, but they just don’t have my drive.

I was definitely the first of the Spring cats to warm up to Palace life, and I mean to cast no shade on my sisters; we came from a house with more than 40 cats, and with vet visits, vaccinations, and spending some time with our fosters, even the friendliest cats in the city can feel a little overwhelmed. Once I realized that there were plenty of folks coming though with pets and play on their minds I felt much more comfortable, but it’s still not ‘home’, you know?

I’m not going to brag, but I’m pretty good with other cats; obviously, I appreciate a proper introduction, but the rescue folks can help advise you on that front. I definitely need a home with another young cat to play with, my energy would probably be a bit much for an old-timer to deal with solo. I’m not sure about dogs, but I haven’t had the opportunity to make an introduction, with care I’m sure I could rise to the occasion. Being a Palace Cat, I’ve had plenty of opportunity to get to know kids, the respectful and playful ones I absolutely adore.

Meals currently consist of Ziwi Peak dry food and Orjien wet and I am loving it! I don’t have any allergies or dietary restrictions, so I am open to changing it up as long as we go slow and include a probiotic to help keep my tummy happy.

…Listen, I know I can come off as a bit of a ‘cool cat’, but at the end of the day, I want to be someone’s cuddly boy. If that sounds like something you would enjoy then, maybe consider putting in an application and coming in for a visit?

Ladybug and Cricket Ranch

Age: 5 months

We heard Max talking some pretty big game, something about being ‘the very first adoption profile’; the joke is on him, we can’t read and neither can he, so we’re not sure what the big deal is. Anyway, I guess we can ‘settle’ for being the face of the rescue. We’re the first cats that Cheery Cat Rescue took in and we have the stickers to prove it.

That’s enough dunking on our elders, we’re Cricket and Ladybug, A dynamic duo, a pair of love bugs, whatever you want to call us you’ll have to do it in twos; we are bonded and so together we shall stay.

Of the two of us, Cricket is always the first to jump in. She’s the bold one, the adventurer, bravest of the cuddlebugs. She enjoys a tumble and a snooze, a sunbeam and her sister; when Ladybug needs her, she always comes running. (Unless she’s, like, really comfy). When you come to visit us in the Palace, Cricket is the one you’re going to meet first unless you’re lucky.

Ladybug has a little more of a shell; she enjoys a wait-and-see approach in contrast to Cricket’s can-do attitude. Underneath the wariness, is a warmth worth the work to unlock, though for the moment she’s less thrilled about being snuggled and carried than her sister (Not hard, Cricket LOVES a cuddle).

We landed in the care of CCR as a pair of owner surrenders; we were Ranch cats originally! Being SO for real with you, inside-cat life is where it is at, but ranch life taught us that it takes all sorts to make a family. We are very good with other cats, though we might be a bit much for a grumpy senior; either way, we’ll count on you to help us make a polite and slow introduction. It’s been a while since we’ve crossed paths with a dog, but again, a careful and patient introduction could see us to be their very best buds. We don’t have much experience with children, but respectful kids and watchful parents would be a match made in heaven. We’re pretty flexible about the whole thing to be honest.

At Cheery, we are enjoying Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. We have no dietary restrictions so with time and care, we could absolutely change it up as long as we keep a mix of good quality wet as long as we take it slow and include a helpful probiotic to keep our tummies happy.

They say you can tell the health of a garden by the variety of insects who choose to live there, well, we’re just a couple of bugs looking for a garden. Would you take us home and… whatever you do with bugs who are soft and love you, we don’t actually know. Again, we can’t read.

Hi I’m Latte, brother of Matcha. I’m the stripey boy.

My rescue story starts when a cleaner found us in an empty apartment after our first family had moved out. We’re not sure how they managed to forget to pack us, but we have practiced our voices to make sure that we are never forgotten again. 

I am the braver one, a stripey and chatty boy who is always down for a cuddle and entirely willing to let you know when the cuddling has been insufficient. 

I took a little bit to warm up to the cats and people in Cheery Palace, but the rescue volunteers I am doing very well! I get along with other cats, even if I can be slow to join in the play at times; I wouldn’t make too much trouble for a senior cat if you’ve got one in the house. I have done well with children as long as they are respectful and patient with me. I don’t think I’ve met a dog yet so as long as the introduction is careful and slow there shouldn’t be an issue. 

My diet currently consists of  Ziwi Peak dryfood and Orjien chicken and duck wet, but I have no dietary restrictions and so I could adjust to almost anything. I don’t particularly care for the Orjien Chicken and Duck so I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to switching it up! But of course, a slow switch over is recommended to keep tummies happy. 

The folks at Cheery Rescue promised my forever family will find me soon. I would need to be adopted into a home with another young playful cat.

I’m a little quieter, but has a soft and rumbly purr like you wouldn’t believe. Of the two of us, Latte is more likely to pop in to check up on you, and I’m the happiest to be carried about.

Oh. I didn’t realize we were doing this today! I’m not ready, I… No it’s okay, that’s the old Munchy, New Munchy has this down. I’ll do my best!

I came into Cheery Cat Rescue care as an owner surrender; the cats at my previous home were pretty rough with me and I wasn’t having a good time. Problems are a lot harder to fix than to prevent; I’ll tell you, slow and steady is definitely the way to go. 

My first days in Cheery Palace were pretty scary. Despite the care the staff there took, having so many new cats around was quite overwhelming, and it took some time before I realized that the cats here are all here looking for a better life; I felt a lot less alone knowing that I wasn’t the only ‘misfit’ in the cat world. I can’t lie, I am an awkward fellow; I wouldn’t do well with a particularly dominating or forceful cat. I’m learning how to be more confident, but I’m not ready to be tested quite that hard. A young cat looking for a playmate would be a good fit, or a dual adoption with one of my friends in Cheery Palace would be incredible! I would be very anxious as a solo act so a home with another young cat is a must.

I have also really enjoyed the people who come to see us. I was hesitant at first, but there was a delightful young lady who held me tight and really taught me the joys of a great cuddle. I can be a bit slow to ask for one, I don’t want to be too much trouble, but if you scoop me up and hold me close I will share my biggest purrs with you. A patient home where my boundaries can be respected and expanded would be a dream come true. 

In the palace at the moment, we are eating Ziwi Peak dryfood  and Orjien Duck and Chicken wet. I know some of the other cats have complained, but I’ve got to say it’s a diet that has been working well for me. That said, I have no dietary restrictions so I am open to exploring other options as long as we go slow and supplement with a supportive probiotic. 

I know I can seem like a bit of an odd duck, but I am hoping that for the right person, I am their… what’s a baby swan called? A cygnet? You see because there is a story that.. Not important, we can talk about that later.
