What was your cat’s name at the shelter vs their name now ?
-
@Annacats Found a picture of them with their host family.
-
Macie at the shelter, renamed her Lieve (meaning 'dear' or 'sweet')
@Ravimakes That’s such a lovely name, Lieve fits her perfectly 🥺
what a sweet new beginning for her. -
@Annacats Carissima and Pepino , and Theo he past away on 3 september 2024.
@Zita Carissima, Pepino and Theo… what a beautiful little family
️.
I’m so sorry about Theo gone, but clearly very loved and never forgotten. -
@Annacats she was Sapphire; we went instead with Gemma (Gem for short). Cat names need a long form for scolding and an abbreviation for endearment. Not that they care!
@Johnnyangel Exactly!
“Gemmaaa!” when she’s in trouble, “Gem” when she’s being adorable perfect system, even if she completely ignores both. -
@Annacats I adopted a wonderful tortie-tabby the shelter named Arena, I called her Susie for the next sixteen years.
@c0dec0dec0de Arena to Susie that’s such a sweet timeless name sixteen years of love… what a beautiful life you shared with her

@Annacats Let me tell you, someone at the shelter was being funny when she got there. They found a mom cat with her kittens and decided on 'Mama Mia' ! I just call her Amy.

@purrpurr Mama Mia is hilarious
someone at that shelter had jokes!
Amy is much calmer but still cute.

@Annacats
All the cats I have now were rescued from the street and didn't have names. My two daughters are named Tie and Mandy. And the boy's name is Hakka.@cesarpose Tie, Mandy, and Hakka those are such lovely names🩷.
Street rescues always end up with the biggest personalities and the most love to give. -
@Annacats Her name was June and now we call her Izzy.
️@Wolken_meeer
And June to Izzy, what a cute upgrade! These kitties really end up with the sweetest names
️. -
@Annacats The name of the other cat stayed: Maja
️@Wolken_meeer Maja is such a lovely name to keep

@cesarpose Tie, Mandy, and Hakka those are such lovely names🩷.

Tie and Mandy are already 12 years old and Hakka is 9. They stayed, but in the last ten years more than 20 cats have passed through my house, all rescued from the street and given up for adoption. -
