ADOPTION STORY: The Charmed Life of Pi (the cat)

7/28/2021

ADOPTED FROM MHC: JULY 4, 2021
Pi hasn't always lived a charmed life. In fact, this  former homeless cat was returned to us 3 times! Luckily, in Pi's case, fourth time's the charm.

Pi (the cat) first came to us in November 2020. He was a raggedy stray picked up by a Good Samaritan who saw something special in him. 

After a bit of pampering, the 3 year old medium-haired cat cleaned up quite nicely.  

​Truth is, Pi became so desirable that he had 3 adoption attempts. 


Sadly, Pi was returned 3 times within a 6-month period. It was not at all due to any fault of Pi's; allergies were the culprit. It seemed that this darling cat just couldn't seem to catch a break. 

The last time he was returned, our hearts broke for poor Pi, who must have been terribly confused and disappointed with all the changes.  

​Thankfully, the last time he was at MHC, it only took him 9 days to finally find his forever home. 


The moment we let Pi out of the kennel to meet his forever family, we knew it was just meant to be. We knew Pi had finally caught his  big break. 
​

Thank you to Brian, Loralyn and Kathryn Carter (proud parents to Pi, Princess Zelda, Mercy and Molly)  for giving Pi a home! 

Below is a lovely little update from his new family. 
 

We are enjoying Pi very much!  He is so soft and cuddly and he always has a smile on his face!  He has his appetite back and we are very pleased to say that he is eating a can of cat food in the morning and a can at night.  He loves cheese!  We got him to eat by putting a few pieces on the food.  He now follows us to the refrigerator and stares at us every time we open it up, in hopes of getting a few more cubes.  We hope that he will start putting on a little bit of weight soon.

Pi has started playing with the cat fishing pole toy.  He has started zooming around the house, like a kitten!  He still sits on the chair with my husband at night, while my husband winds down from the day.  He loves sitting in the rays of the sun through the windows and the sliding glass doors.  He shares his adoption blanket with his new sisters, Princess Zelda (4 year old long haired cat) and Mercy (3 year old short haired cat).  He has overcome his fear of our dog, Molly (who is a 15 year old black lab/cocker spaniel mix of only 25 lbs.).  

I have attached some photos of him lounging around the house, along with his siblings.  He is such a joy to have.  I am so grateful we happened by the PetSmart on July 4th!  He is a wonderful addition to our family.  He is definitely at his forever home with us, as he is loved and cherished for who he is!  He fits right in with our other silly adopted pets.   

​Thank you for having such a wonderful organization!
