Yesterday

Our hearts go out to Deborah (@Deborah & Shasta) tonight. Shasta is flying free.

Hi Everyone,

Rusty and we are celebrating the 6th Annifursary of his arrival in his furever home. Here's a short account that I wrote several years ago and modified slightly:
Six years ago on this date Rusty arrived at his furever home. We drove to Kingston, Ont. to pick him up from his Aunties Linda (@Linda and Bear Man) and Ronnie (Luna). They had driven the penultimate lap in a DCIN relay transport from Phoebe's (@Phoebe_Tiggy_NortonGA) in Detroit. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who loved and cared for Rusty in his journey to his furever home--a journey that began in November 2008, when he was rescued from the streets of Plymouth MA. Thanks to Claudia (@cjleo) for fostering him for 2+ years, to Phoebe and Charlie for loving him so much that they gave him the chance to move to a home where he would be the only kitty, to Venita and all of the volunteers at DCIN for arranging his transport, and to FDMB and all our friends in L&L Land for help, support, and friendship.
Rusty is a wonderful kitty and we are so thankful that he landed with us.

Going downstairs now to sit with our guy and make sure he eats. My cold is "progressing" (not a good day for me! but hopefully tomorrow will tell a different story).

Rusty is a wonderful kitty and we are so thankful that he landed with us.

Ella and Edward are wonderful beans, and Rusty is so thankful he landed with you.

Happy Annifursary - I always love that story of how he came to his forever home.

Vines and chicken soup on their way.

Happy Anniversary!!! Rusty was lucky to find you.

I hope you get over your cold soon. Sending prayers.

This is always my favourite condo of the year! My Facebook memories feature came up today with photographs taken that day of Rusty in the car. What a great traveller he was! I have so many happy memories of that trip. I'm so fortunate to have met you, Edward, and Rusty. He is a special cat, with a very special family and extended circle of friends and admirers. Happy 6th Annifursary, Rusty!

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Thanks, guys. That very first night Rusty ran upstairs and hopped into bed with us. He's slower on the stairs, now, but he still hops up on the bed and sleeps between us with his head on his little green pillow.

aw, I'm so glad to see Rusty's annifursary condo. He always reminds me of punkin, with his direct eye contact and big eyes. He's a beautiful boy and you are all lucky to have each other.

He is such a little spunk muffin, I couldn't help but scritch the screen! Very mean of @Linda and Bear Man to tease us with talk of more photos but not share

Happy annifursary May there be many more

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

I, too, look forward to this condo every year. Rusty was and is very blessed to land with such loving beans. He is a very handsome boy and a dutiful LagoonMeister.
