Six years ago today, October 10, I adopted Speedy from the local rescue!:)

I guess that makes it my Speedy's Gotcha Day! :celebrate:
View attachment 256531 Speedy, her first photo with my new camera! She has beautiful blue eyes as you can see here.

The rescue provided this photo with Speedy's bio, it is her youngest photo I have - View attachment 256533 about 9 months here, I am glad to have this photo of her as a young cat.

Mostly, the things you would notice about Speedy is that she is very sweet, affectionate, quiet and very easy-going.

Today is my sweet Mocha’s one-year anniversary as a part of my family. She came to the sanctuary as a terrified, semi-feral two-year-old whom no one could touch (she sent a staff member to the emergency room with a serious bite wound). She was three when I brought her home and still scared, still untouchable.

Mocha (then Martha) at the sanctuary in late 2016. *No touching, hoomin.*

Mocha during the first two weeks at her new home in October 2017, safe in her “cave.” I had to use the zoom on the camera. *No touching, hoomin.*

December 2017–Mocha ventures out into the family room and into her new bed...but keeps a close eye on me. Still using the zoom but she’s more relaxed. But, *No touching, hoomin.*

In March 2018, she gets into my lap for the first time long enough for me to get a picture. Then she extends every single claw into my knees and legs and propels herself halfway across the room. Ow. *You may touch me now. No, wait! Too much!*

By April, she’s spending long periods of time in my lap and following me around the house. *I love you. You are mine.*

And by May, she is showing such trust! *I love you. And combing. I love combing.”
View media item 421840And now it’s October. One year later, she is affectionate and loving. She sleeps with me, follows me around, and purrs constantly. The sanctuary told me she would never be adopted because no one could touch her. She hid every time someone came into the room. My sweet Mocha. I think she was waiting for me. :redheartpump: *I am safe. I am loved. I am home.*
