No strangers to Furry Friends, Sam and Katelyn adopted their first cat from us, now an easygoing and relaxed male who’s presently nine years old.

“Mr. Floofmeister is our third kitty,” says Laura. “We have two female kitties named Catmeat and Diva. We had no plans to get a third cat, but we were browsing the Furry Friends website (as one does) and instantly fell in love with Mr. Floofmeister. We kept his original name so we wouldn’t give him an identity crisis. While his name is Mr. Floofmeister, he likes to go by Floofy for short.

“Olive is not our first kitty,” says Tani. “However, she is the first little one we have adopted from Furry Friends. We decided to keep her name because she would come to us when we called her by that name.

“We adopted Butter and Chevy (formerly Batter) in December of 2022,” says Mira. “We both grew up with lots of kitties and having moved out on our own, we only had one kitty, Turbo, who was a bottle baby I had rescued.

“After we lost our cat Pearl, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for another pet,” explains Kathy. “Plus, we still had two other cats, Tiny and Bean, and Lucy, my daughter’s cat, since my daughter had moved back home.

“Willow, formerly called Korn, is the first kitty we’ve had since having children,” Theresa explains. “Initially, we were interested in meeting his brother Karmel, but because he had already been adopted by another family, we decided to meet Willow instead.

“Dopey and Artemis (formerly Sneezy) were not our first cats,” admits Kristy. “In fact, they brought our current house total to six. They came from a litter of seven, named after the seven dwarfs, and we loved them immediately.

“I have been an animal lover since I was a child. When I moved out on my own, I adopted my first rescue at a shelter in Dickinson, ND. Since then, I have rescued three cats. Each one has been immensely spoiled with love. Some have even gone on hikes with me in the Black Hills of SD.
