AFRP Happy Tail

Jack O'Lantern's Happy Tail

Named for his pumpkin-colored coat and big golden eyes, Jack O'Lantern was an 8-year-old cat who came to us from the Salinas Animal Services after being abandoned by his former family. Halloween came and went, and Thanksgiving too, without anyone coming forward to give this sweet boy a home. But then Jack's luck changed.

Johnnie contacted AFRP about adopting a cat. He was going to be a first time cat owner, and wanted to go about everything the correct way. He did research on the Internet and read cat magazines to learn as much as he could. He made a checklist of supplies and went shopping to make sure he had everything a cat would need. Since Johnnie lived in an apartment and wanted a single pet, a nice adult cat like Jack seemed like the perfect match.

In January, Jack O'Lantern was adopted and settled into his forever home. Johnnie sent us the following update:

Dear AFRP,

I adopted Jack from the Posh Pets adoption site Saturday afternoon. It didn't take too long for him to get used to his new home and me. Whenever he meows and looks at me I know he needs a good rub. I have his bedding on a small couch I use for reading, and when I open the door after getting off work he's right there patiently waiting for me. He even gave me a cat's version of a kiss by licking me! Sometimes he sleeps with me, which I don't mind. I want to thank AFRP for doing a good job of finding homes for all the cats and dogs they receive.

Sincerely,

Johnnie
