theodore

I adopted my best friend Theodore from the Brantford SPCA in June of 2009. I had recently lost my Netherland dwarf 'Henry' to stomach problems and about 3 months later I spotted an adorable lionhead at the Brantford SPCA, previously named "Jeremy". He was very saucy and spunky and was sporting what appeared to be a mullet.. he has a lot of hair! The staff were kind enough to let me meet him and play with him in a back room, though at that point he didn't want much to do with me. When I adopted Theodore, I asked where he came from, and they said he was from HENRY street. I think it's a bit more than a coincidence, and I like to think that part of why Henry passed away was perhaps because someone else needed me.

Theodore is doing very well, and has traveled with me to the many places I have lived in the past couple of years. He is VERY well behaved in cars, and loves running around our big backyard with his harness on. He loves his salads (especially dill) and would probably sell my soul for a raisin. He has come a long way since I adopted him.. he is very social and quite bold, and still very saucy. He also gets along quite nicely with my mothers dog!

I would just like to thank the Brantford SPCA for taking care of him until he came to live with me, and for all the work they do.

Nicodemus (a.k.a. "Harry)

My new friend was adopted on April 29th, 2011 at the Ancaster Pets-mart and brought to me as a BIG surprise! He came with the name of "Harry" but I renamed him "Nicodemus"; "Nicky" or "Nico" for short. Since he's my first cat all on my own, it took a little bit of time for both of us to settle into a comfortable companionship. He's is most certainly a "Personal Assistant" and he'll follow me around when I'm trying to tidy up & jump up onto the bed when I'm trying to make it. Four days in, he's already learned to not scratch up my couch and he's got me well trained in how to keep my place cat-safe.

My mom may have picked him out for me but he & I have already accepted each other. He is such a sweetie pie & loves to give kisses! Thank you so much SPCA for caring with this little boy so he could be brought into my life.
