Meet Sundance 💕
This little cutie pie is 7 months old but so petite she looks only 4-5 months old. She’s a very playful kitten but also loves cuddles and being held. Her markings are stunning too (see comments for a photo of them!). She does fabulous with other cats and would love to have a kitty friend. Sundance also does great with kids and dogs. She is currently at Petsmart in Roseville. If Sundance sounds like the perfect girl for you, please call us at (510) 508-6014.
You only had one day with us, Tanner, but we loved you as much as any of our babies. We had plans for you, incredible things were meant to happen for you. You will never be forgotten. RIP, dear one.Letter from a dog to his master : author unknown!
"Human, I see that you are crying because it was my time to leave. Do not cry please, I want to explain some things to you. You're sad because I've left, and I'm happy because I met you. How many like me die every day without having met someone special? Animals sometimes spend so much time alone to our fate! We only know the cold, the thirst, the danger, the hunger. We have to worry about how we will get something to eat and where we will spend the night sheltered. We see many faces every day that pass without looking at us, and sometimes it is better that they do not look at us before they realize that we are there and mistreat us. Sometimes we have the great luck that among so many people an angel passes by and picks us up. Sometimes angels come in groups and are organized, sometimes there are other angels away who send help to us. And there everything changes. If necessary, they take us with other types of angels who know a lot and give us remedies so that we can be cured. They choose a strange word that they say it every time they see us, "name" I think they say and there we feel special, we stop being anonymous, of being one of many. And we know what a house is! Do you have any idea how important that is for us? We no longer have to be afraid anymore, no more hunger or cold or pain or danger. If you could tell how happy that puts us. For us, any house is a palace! We no longer worry if it's going to rain, if a very light car passes by or if someone will hurt us. And mainly we are not alone anymore because no animal likes solitude, what else can you ask for? I know that my departure saddens me but I had to leave now. I want to ask you not to blame yourself for anything, I heard you sob that you should have done something else for me. Do not say that, you did a lot for me! Without you I would not have known all the nice things that I have with me today. You must know that we animals live the present intensely and that we are very wise: we enjoy every little thing of every day and we forget the bad things of the past quickly. Our lives begin when we know love, the same love that you have given me, my angel without wings and two legs. You should know that even when you find an animal that is very serious and that only has little time left in this world, you lend an enormous service to accompany him in his final transition. As I said before, none of us like to be alone and less when we realize that we are about to leave. Maybe for you it is not important, but that one of you is next to us caressing us and holding our little leg helps us to leave in peace. Do not Cry anymore. I'm leaving happy. I carry the memory of the name you gave me, of the warmth of your home that during this time became my own. I take the sound of your voice talking to me even if I did not always understand what you were saying. I carry in my heart every caress you gave me. Everything you did for me was very valuable and I thank you infinitely, I do not know how to tell you why I do not speak your language but surely in my eyes you have seen my gratitude. I'm going to ask you for just two favors. Wash your face and start smiling. Remember how nice we have lived together in this time, remember the pranks I did to make you happy. Relive as I do all the good things of this timeshare. And do not say that you will no longer adopt another animal because you have suffered so much with my departure. Without you I would not have lived the beautiful thing that I lived. Please do not do that! There are as many as I waiting for someone like you. Give them what you have given me please, they need it just as I needed it. Do not keep the love you have to give for fear of suffering. Follow my advice and treasure the good you share with each one of us recognizing that you are an angel for us animals and that without people like you our lives would be more difficult than they sometimes are. Continue with your noble task that now it's my turn to be your angel. I will be accompanying you on your way and helping you to help others like me. I will talk to other animals that are here with me, I will tell you everything you have done for me and I will point out and proudly say "that is my family". My first task now is to help you from here to not be sadder. Tonight when you look at the sky and see a blinking star I want you to know that I am winking at you, warning you that I arrived well and saying thank you for the love you have given me. I say goodbye for now not saying "goodbye" but until then. There is a special heaven for people like you, the same heaven where we are going and life rewards us by finding ourselves there again. I will be waiting!"

While not all of our wonderful alumni members are on Facebook to post updates on their own, I love that I still get pictures, videos, and messages personally ❤. Mama Zuffy and her son, Ned (Patrick), were adopted TOGETHER into an AMAZING home 💠🏠💠. As long as I'd been fostering, Zuffy was a lot of firsts for me. Because of that, I was really attached to her. THIS, however, makes it all worth it. Our animals go to the BEST HOMES! If you're an alumni, you already know that 😉.
Below, is a picture of Zuffy and Ned, peaceful, loved, happy, and cared for in their forever home. Another fostering win! ❤🏠🐕🐾💞
