SOME PAST MEMORABLE RESCUES & ADOPTIONS: These are just a few of many.... 1999 - Our first, "Cinnamon" was rescued from shelter in FL & placed in new loving home. October 1999 - 8 Folds rescued from a kill shelter in CA and were all finally adopted to permanent homes by March 2000. Network email list members donated much in the way of supplies, food, litter and money to the dedicated volunteer who provided the long-term foster home. Members also helped direct interested potential adoptors to her. Feb 2000 - 23 Folds rescued from ex-"breeder's" home. Dallas, TX. Network email list members voluntarily donated over $645 plus supplies to help defray the extensive housing and vet expenses the rescue of these cats resulted in. Feb 2000 - 6 Scottish Folds ( 3 folded & 3 straight) rescued from a shelter in Abilene, TX. All placed by March 9, 2000. $210 in cash plus supplies were donated to the foster homes by network members to cover these cats expenses. |
June 2001 "Shimmer" rescued from a kill shelter in Ohio. This rescue could not have taken place without the help of BJ McDowell who alerted us to Shimmer's presence in the shelter and assisted our volunteer in retrieving her for us. Then our volunteer Jackie managed to find her a wonderful home in less than a week. We hear Shimmer is already being doted on and loved so we know our job is done here! Thank You so much BJ & Jackie! |
More to come... |

July 2001: Molly and Mandy Adopted The following is a note we received from Lori who was our contact to place her mother's Folds (Mother had serious health reasons). "Thanks for all your help!!!!! Molly & Mandy now live in Kentucky with a young couple. Maggie lives in Chicago and Max lives in Ohio. When my Mom found out she had to get rid of her 4 Folds we thought 'what a job that would be' but thanks to this site they all have nice homes. Everyone has been so nice, sending me updates on all the cats. Definitely eased our minds. Thank You, Lori" |
"Alex" Adopted July 2001 Alex was pictured on our site along with being pictured on Petfinder. He was adopted some time in late June or early July. We don't know if his adoption was a direct result of being listed here but we are happy that he now has a home and family. Congratulations Alex! |
"John" Adopted by SFRAN Volunteers July 2001 The weekend of July 6th a couple who are volunteer contacts for us adopted John from a shelter and are giving him a new happy home. Yay John! |
July 2001 Bonnie & Edgar |
Great News hearing Bonnie & Edgar have a new home. Here is a note we received from their new Momma: "We are so excited about adding Bonnie and Edgar to our family. Our Scottish Fold suffered from the congenital bone disease. We were able to keep Haggis comfortable until early this spring and then had to have her put to sleep. It was really hard for me. Finding two cats that need us is really a pleasant surprise. Thank you for your web site and what it has done for both families!" Sincerely, Kathleen |
"BUDDY" Adopted August 18, 2001 We were all ecstatic when Buddy, a 13 year old Scottish Fold, "orphaned" when his owner passed away was able to find a new forever home. We received this note from his original owner's sister... "Just want to thank you for all your help in helping Buddy find a great new home. He was successfully tranported to Indiana yesterday & is reported to be doing great! Bless you & thank you for all your hard work." -Beth Ryan |
"Butch" Adopted October 2001 |
"Thanks so much for this Web site. We adopted Cosmo on February 10, 2002. He had been abused before being rescued. I know in time there will be no more signs of that. He is so in love with my husband it's wonderful. They have "love times" several times a day, and Cosmo is all over Jay to be petted. If Jay comes in the house Cosmo goes right to him ,purrs, and now when Jay is in the chair Cosmo will climb on him with all four paws. The trust is incredible. When I came home yesterday, Cosmo was at the door and jumped up on the organ bench. I had to put everything down to pet him.He never lets me cook in the kitchen by myself. He has to watch and see what morsel will fall his way. I know he had gained some weight. He's filled out a little. In a little over three months, he has come really far. It's a real lesson daily to see his progress. As my husband said to me, life in our house is more pleasant by Cosmo being here. I would tell anyone to take a chance on one of these precious cats.Thanks again." -- Judy Cole |

--------------------------Karen wrote------------------------ I'm seeing him more and more, and he is letting me see him more and more. On Saturday he walked through the room I was in three times!!! Last night he just sat about 5 feet away as I walked back and forth filling dog bowls. Didn't even hiss. He did hiss when I went to the litter box room and was going to enter, and he wasn't done. So I backed off to give him some privacy. Few minutes later it was OK for me to enter. This morning he was sitting, feet curled underneath his chest, on the bookcase. I walked past a couple of times, talked to him, and he stayed quietly there. We are making progress!!! I like him!!! Thank you!!! |

"A couple of weeks ago I tuned in to your site and, shortly after that, heard from one of you about a rescue cat in the Minneapolis area called Butch. Well, I got in touch with the person fostering the cat and the end of the story is we met halfway on Saturday and I now have him with me. He's now called Robert Burns ("Robbie") and he is adapting well with my other cats, an old Sheltie, a rabbit and a guinea and a fish! He seems to have the joint trouble that was mentioned so he'll soon be examined by my vet to see if treatment will help. But I just want you to know that a most marvelous Scottish Fold has found a warm and loving home with me!" -Katy Riley |

Date: 1/8/2002 11:59:50 AM Eastern Standard Time Hello! Just to let you know that the two cats I posted on your website - "Little Owl and Sweetie Pie," California - have finally been successfully placed. I was contacted by a young couple who have just bought their first home here in L.A. and of course they fell in love with them. Finally, someone who didn't want to split them up, or have me fly them all over the country! I delivered them to their new home a few days ago, and decided to wait a little before notifying you, to make sure the match was successful. I am now told that the kids were on the bed the first night, and they are there to stay! Thank you very much for your help. I'm glad you are there for the Folds in need. Sincerely, Helen Darvall |
