Happy Tails – Episode One: Lauren &Luna

“My boyfriend Scott and I adopted Katie (now Luna) from Cats in Need, Fullerton about a month ago and I just wanted to let you know that she’s doing wonderfully! She and our bunnies are coexisting, though our Lionhead bunny Dusty is very territorial and will chase her away if she gets too close to his pen or the box he likes to sleep in. Our Mini Lop Phoebe lets Luna sniff her and sometimes hops over on her own to check her out.

I think since Luna is growing up with them, they’ll continue to coexist and maybe eventually become great friends once the bunnies learn to trust her. The funny part is that she has no intention of trying to hurt them. Sometimes she gets a little too crazy and playful and it upsets the bunnies, but she has no predatory drive towards them. If anything the bunnies pick on her more than she picks on them, when Dusty charges at her to get her out of his territory.

Luna has her own territory which is basically the other half of the apartment and the bedroom. She’s so sweet and cuddly and will lay on top of us at night. Sometimes she likes me to carry her around on my shoulder like a little parrot. We play with her almost constantly and she’s so fun to watch, flying through the air or even playing fetch with her favorite ball. She literally bounces off all the walls and furniture when she gets excited!

And as I write this, she’s sitting on my lap being very cuddly. I just wanted to let you know that Luna is very happy and extremely loved.”

Blind Kittens Update



Every now and then we rescue a kitty who’s story is so special that we want to shout it from the rooftops - and Stevie and Ray are two such kitties!

Incredibly adorable little Russian Blue babies, these brothers are cute and cuddly twins
with beautiful soft blue-grey coats.

Only upon closer inspection will you see that these kittens are
different from other kitties – Ray was born with no sight, and Stevie has just limited sight in one eye.

Although it would seem that a blind cat would have a very sad and difficult life, these little guys prove that nothing could be further from the truth!

These kittens are unaware that they are in any way different from other kitties, and once they become familiar with their surroundings, they act like other kittens with perfect sight! They love to frolic, wrestle and chase each other around, enjoy playing with their many toys, and they LOVE to eat!

They are very aware of their litter box and are experts in its use! If you’ve read the book “Homer’s Odyssey” or viewed “Oskar the Blind Kitten” on You Tube, you will already know that a blind kitty can be a fabulous companion pet, and these boys are more than willing to offer you a double dose of unconditional love!

If you would like to consider giving these special little angels a wonderful life in your happy home, please contact us by email at catsinneedfullerton@yahoo.com or by phone at (714) 315-8259 and we’ll fill you in on their details and make the introductions. Perhaps you’d be interested in adopting both of these darling siblings! They would be a terrific addition to a compassionate, animal-loving family!)

We are also looking at having these kitties go through a special surgery as their defective eyes need to be removed in order to prevent further complications. The surgery is expensive, and we could use donations in any and all amounts to help offset these costs. You can send donations via PayPal directly to the Fullerton Chapter by paying to CatsInNeedFullerton@yahoo.com

Meet Stevie – a little wonder

Meet little Stevie, who was born blind. Of course, if you just met him and saw him in action, you might not realize it at first: he runs, jumps, plays, and frisks about just like a normal kitten with full eyesight.

Stevie is in foster with Cats in Need’s Fullerton chapter.

If you could help Stevie out, Fullerton is seeking donations for his medical expenses.  You can donate at the secure link here: http://www.catsinneedfullerton.com/Volunteer_Donate.html
