Success Stories

Hi Megan, Our first cat came into our lives as a free to a good home two years ago and never left our sides for more than an hour or two so when we hadn't seen him in days we feared the worst and couldn't stand how empty our home had become. We found Hagis through DCH and just knew he'd be perfect. I thought about what would happen if our cat returned and knowing I wouldn't want him going out again a friend at home was a logical solution, but would my baby really return after this long?...

We settled our new baby in and got used to just how different Hagis was to Meows then after almost 3 weeks the almost impossible happened and our baby returned. So we phoned DCH for advice on how to settle them in, needless to say they were amazing. We were EXTREMELY lucky and within days our cats were playing like old friends. Our first cat always having preferred to sleep at our feet and our new cat wanting to be up snuggling next to our heads in bed no doubt made this easier but I have gone form being hesitant to introduce a new cat to being a true advocate. We were very lucky but our boys will now have so much more fun. I would urge everyone with one spoilt mooch in their lives to seriously consider the extra cuddles of another baby. We all know the fierce reality of dumped cats lets play our part and take another desexed animal into a loving home.

Hi Judy

I just wanted to let you know how well Buddy is doing. He has settled in very well with the family and our other dog Roxy! They are never far from each other and love to play chasings around the backyard. I have enclosed a photo of them cuddling and hanging around.

Thank you again, Kev, Sigmone, Brooklyn, Roxy and Buddy

Hi Paula, Though I'd send you this photo of Gracie (Muffy) and let you know she is doing well. She had her stitches out this week after her little procedure and hasn't looked back. Still as cheeky as ever! She has doubled in size and pretty much has the run of the house.

Anyway, thanks for everything and keep up the good work. Regards, Linda and Warren

We adopted George back in march and just wanted to send these photos. He has made it into a book of cheeky little cats published by Harper Collins. He now has a little sister we adopted called Jackie Chan and they are inseparable. He is one of the most vocal cats I have ever known and will often meow if you simply look at him, he also takes every opportunity to jump on your back if you dare bend down and let you carry him around like a king. Kind regards Tanya and Craig

George was adopted on 02/02/07 after 2 months in foster care.

Hi we just wanted to give you an update on Buddy who was adopted on 13th April 2007 by the Tomlinson family. This is an up-date on how he is doing.

His new for-ever-home is the best thing we have done by adopting him. He has brought so much joy into our lives. My husband has said Buddy is the only thing to make me smile in a morning (as I am not a morning person).

He has large gardens to play in and live indoors. He has two comfy beds to choose from, one were he spends his evenings with us in the lounge and the other is in the dinning area for bed time

Hi Megan, As you know we took Molly home last Friday, leaving Leanne behind with tears in her eyes. And we can already see why. Molly was a bit excited that evening

lots of new smells and sights -but by saturday she behaved like she expected to stay here. She is so loving and friendly and really just seems to want affection. right now she is lounging on her very soft bed in our lounge room, if i am on the couch watching tv she is on the floor next to me. She spent the day sitting next to Wes in his office. Molly really just seems to want to be where we are. She had her first time on her own yesterday, we left her inside cos it was so cold out, and did not know what i would come home to

she was asleep under the dining table

surrounded by shoes, her toys, cat toys, our socks, none of them chewed, just surrounding her sleeping spot... we were pretty happy about that.

She has had her first walk on the beach

not sure what to make of the waves, but would love to chase the seagulls. we are going to the dog trainers on sunday, i think she will top the class as she is pretty smart, and then i will be able to let her run after those seagulls. our cat

oscar

is not impressed with our new addition to the family but he is slowly slowly coming round. so all in all a pretty good first week. we will send some photo's soon

regards wendy fenton

Molly was adopted on 11/08/07 after 3 months in foster care.

Hi Karen, I just want you to know we love Rema so much she has fitted in to the Quealy way of life very easily. In fact I feel very privileged to have adopted her she is the most wonderfull little puppy. Rema travelled very well she slept most of the way home and not one wimper all night. We gave her our not yet washed farm clothes and a hot water bottle to snuggle up with. The other dogs met her Sunday a.m. and all went well she looks so small and cute beside them. Thank you so much for giving us the oppunity to adopt Rema.

Lara and Chris.

Rema was adopted on 4/08/07 after 2 weeks in foster care.

Good morning!

I thought you might like an update on the adventures of two rotti boys that I got through your wonderful organisation. I got them in April of last year shortly after suddenly losing my beloved Rotti companion Jack, at 8 and a half years old.

The two boys (Oliver and Charlie) are now 18 months old - Oliver is substantially larger than his brother and is rather special, Charlie is very quick and clever. Oliver had an intensive bout with a knee infection at about 6 months of age and I almost lost him, he was in hospital for over a week. We did go to Puppy School when they were little - everyone else was tiny, my two were already giants but they had the best manners and could already do Sit and Stay at just 4 months so they were the stars of the class.

They still adore each other (and their mum!) and have the sweetest natures - they of course are still eating everything

including the kitchen walls, door frames, outdoor furniture etc but they are so full of the joy of life that they make you laugh too. They are great fun and wonderful companions. There is a big difference in their size so I would estimate Oliver at already being over 50 kgs while Charlie is around 30 kgs. I have attached some pix too of their various activities. Pretty much they are together all the time, including bed time.

Best regards to you all, you do wonderful work.....I had a tear or two when I read this current newsletter....
