2014

Our Year in Rescue

Dear OC Volunteers, Donors and Friends, As we bid a fond farewell to 2014, we take this time to reflect on some of the many wonderful things that happened this year for the animals! We feel so fortunate to have met incredible adopters this year who have opened their homes and hearts to our most precious creatures. This book is just a small snapshot of all of the happy endings that took place this year and we also include a listing of all of the pets who were adopted at the end.

We also want to take this time to recognize all of the people who were able to help pets in a different way: those who helped a colony of feral cats, who participated in a training class, who sought out behavioral advice so they could keep their pet, those who found a way to keep the stray they rescued, those who donated to a feral food drive. For Our Companions, these stories are just as meaningful as those where a pet has found its’ Forever Home!

“

Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.

He sleeps with us and explores.

He has bursts of total happiness!

Harvey

Love her :)

K.C.

Ollie

Oliver

Oliver spends much of his time sleeping peacefully on a fleece blanket on the daybed. When Maisie gets home from school, he sits next to her and dozes while she plays. He is very chatty when he’s awake, and so affectionate and sweet.

Charlie seems very happy with us as are we with him.

His favorite spot is in the middle of our bed or next to Jennifer on the couch.

Lucy

Lila

(now Lily)

Lily is just doing wonderfully with her new people, loving everybody, purring, and just being a super-happy .

Mittens

Mittens rules the house! She has taken over the large comfy chair we have in the kitchen nook, bullies the dog, and loves to sit on the jelly cupboard on the back porch and watch what’s going on in the backyard.

Oreo

We are so happy that he’s with us, he is the perfect for us!

Marilyn

One word for Marilyn: Perfect! I love her.

She’s getting more and more comfortable all the time and loves to play and run around the house.

Bernie (now Rhaeger)

Kipsee She loves her bed, is friendly with everyone, and eats like a little pig.

I’m so glad I adopted both!

I just love them.

Mystery She is adapting beautifully and more quickly than we expected -- already exploring, playing and enjoying spending time with her new family.

Yoshe

Teddy & Kitty

What sweet gentle cats! Â How blessed we are that they are in our lives.

Timmy

Charlie

At night, Charlie goes bed hopping and spends a little time sleeping with each member of the family!

Xavier

Velcro

(Hedgehog) He is doing really well and loves to be held. He no longer huffs and puffs (from stress) and is a really friendly little guy!

Sammi (now Summer)

Summer is the most amazing dog in the world‌ of course, we love them all!

Ruthie Ruthie (now Lucie)

Frankie

(now Sparky)

Jack

They said it was “love at first sight.”

We adore Jack! He is so sweet and affectionate with all of us. He starts purring when anyone walks in the room, and when the kids are reading books on my bed he jumps right in to the middle and makes himself comfortable.

She sleeps on bed with her bear and has a new little bed to sleep in and likes that too.

Midnight (now Darwin)

Midnight is so happy and lovable!

Lola & Sydney Cinder & Smudge Timber & Tucker

I am able to pet both of them now and they have made themselves right at home!
