Just a quick Thank You. My cat, Cyduck, recently celebrated his 7th anniversary with us this past August. I brought him home when he was 4 months old and I can't imagine life without him. He is the patriarch of a small pride of house kitties (all former rescues as well), and they love him very much, as do I.

I think what you are doing is wonderful. I wish I could adopt a cat from you guys (esp. Caesar, I have a thing for tuxedo cats! ) but I already have 3 rescues that arent exactly the best of friends as it is. I'm always trying to get my friends to adopt a cat from you, but needless to say, they're at 'catpacity; too. Hopefully when I'm finished with college and get my own place I can adopt one of your adorable cats!

We adopted Max the Tail less shepherd in October - he's wonderful and we are proud of his progress. Thanks to you he has a new start in life.

We adopted Nicky almost 2 yrs ago--one of the best things we could have done for ourselves! Everywhere around the house Nicky is our shadow, following either me or my husband, watching whatever we do in the sewing room, workshop and, needless to say, in the kitchen. Especially when he knows I'm fixing a new batch of chicken stew for him. He loves his daily walks, knows the routine and route never missing when something new rises above ground level ... a bird, a squirrel and, these days, a Santa Claus in someone's yard! Once a week he loves to visit his other best friend who runs a day care camp for dogs. It gives him a chance to socialize and race around the yard. He usually comes home "dog-tired" and ready to sleep it off for the next couple of days. He's had a clean bill of health, has grown to his full size, hovering around 35 pounds. He's perfect! Many, many thanks to Tails of Hope!

Wanted to thank you so much for courtesy posting "Little Max" for me. Without ever meeting me, you helped me so much by posting him. Then when I got inquiries for adoption you provided advice and counsel to me. And you did so with such compassino and caring. The web site if wonderful and I shows how much you care about the animals. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for your great infomation about finding a lost cat. Our beloved indoor only orange tabby, Hudson, got out of the house and by following your advice about using a humane trap we were able to bring him back home safely. Thanks for your reassuring, practical and useful advice!

Fergus slipped out the screen door when my husband went to retrieve his Sirius antenna, 9:30 Wednesday night, June 4th. We weren't even aware that he was missing until the next morning when he didn't show up for breakfast. We both got dressed - I called work and hubby started looking outside. No luck. Wednesday night there had been a really bad thunder storm and Thursday was too hot and humid for words. Poor Fergus! We were hoping someone had taken him in, even though he is very skittish around anyone but my husband Nelson. We spent the whole day searching. We made flyers and posted them around the neighborhood, spoke to anyone we saw and Nelson took flyers to Petco, Petsmart and our vet's office. I called animal control for instructions on what to do. We filed a LOST CAT report and she told us where they were located so we could check for him. She also suggested yuor website - for ideas about catching indoor cats that get out. We put out bowls of food and water, and Nelson put a whole camping thing out in the backyard so he could sit out there all night and wait for Fergus to appear. Around 9 p.m. Nelson walked up into the woods behind our house and started quietly calling for Fergus. He heard a rustle. He called again. He heard a peep. He spotted some white fur 30 feet away and started toward it. It was FERGUS!!!! Nelson briefly got his hands on him before Fergus ran away. Then Nelson just sat down in the woods, in the dark, on the wet ground, and pretended to be just hanging out. :-) Fergus slowly approached, then headbutted Nelson. SCOOP!!!! "Guess who I found outside!" I popped out of bed and ran to see Fergus. He looked fine, a wee bit fluffy and very hungry! We never would have focused so close to home if it weren't for your instructions. Believe me, a humane trap was on our list for Friday. THANK YOU!!!

I love this site!! My only request is that it be updated more frequently, esp. the adopted animals page, I love to see when animals find loving homes and it shows your wonderful work.

We got our good boy Finnegan through TOH. I can't say enough for all the support and care that were given to both he and us. It had been a while since we had a puppy in the house so it was really appreciated when Finn's foster family and Libby helped us through the adjustment period. Now Finn is just our good boy.

Very helpful website, you folks do a great job with animal descriptions, etc. - I am so glad that there are organizations like yours who care so much about creating good lives for so many animals.
