ADOPTION STORY: QUINCY & POLK

ADOPTED: February 27, 2021 TIME AT MHC: 47 days
You  might recognize these two adorable cats - Quincy & Polk. They were part of a group of 7 kittens crammed  into a dumped carrier that came to MHC last Christmas (watch the video below).  

We weren't sure how long they had been in that small carrier, nor who could have done such an irresponsible and heartless thing. 

As a result, all the kittens suffered from ringworm, ear mites, and respiratory infections. They were also  filthy, thirsty and hungry. 


Luckily, we were able to bring all the kittens back to good health and forge a new path for them!

At MHC, we make it a point to get to know our rescued pets so that we can determine what  the best path is for them and set up our adoptions for success!  

Take Quincy & Polk -- these two kittens seemed to lean on each other for support more so than the rest of their group. It became clear to us that they would do best and thrive in a home together.  

And so, even as the other kittens in the group got adopted one by one, we held out and waited to find for the purr-fect home that will take this dynamic duo in!  


This is QUINCY & POLK'S story and how these perfectly bonded best friends got to stay together in a forever home.

This account was shared by Quincy & Polk's adopter, Shafiyah Giddins.
​Thank you, Shafiyah, for sharing and for adopting Quincy & Polk (now known as Opal & Marcy)!  


Hello, my name is Shafiyah and my partner Mykelti and I decided almost a year ago we wanted a cat.

​About 6 to 7 
 months after making that  decision, we started actively looking. That is when we stumbled upon Polk and Quincy at the Midland Humane Coalition Adoption Center.

​We originally only wanted one cat because we already had three dogs at the time and did not want to bite off more than we could chew. While looking at one of the two kittens, Polk and Quincy, we soon learned how bonded they were.

​With that information provided to us by the Adoption Center, we could not with a sound mind separate the two. So, we decided to adopt both of them!

The day we got the both of them it was so nerve-wracking because we didn’t fully know what to do with one cat, let alone two. We were definitely in for a bumpy ride, but one that has brought us so much joy and we would not trade it for anything in this world.

Once home, we had to slowly introduce them to our three dogs.  It was so emotionally tiring but I knew that everything would work out in our favor if we just stayed patient and consistent.

My favorite thing about Quincy and Polk (who are now named Opal and Marcy) is how outgoing they can be. They aren’t really afraid of anything and I love seeing them grow. I also love seeing them play chase with our dogs -- and believe it or not they are the ones who do the chasing!

So needless to say, they get along perfectly fine with their puppy brothers. They are always demanding kisses from them and cuddles as well, it really is a sight to see.

​
There you have it, folks. Another happy cat tale!  :)
