Our Kitty Adoption Stories & Giving Back to Shelter Pets

Our Kitty Adoption Stories & Giving Back to Shelter Pets

Hello, friends!

As you all know by now, I am a proud momma to four rescue cats! And today, we’re going to focus on them! I thought it’d be fun to share each adoption story and sprinkle in a few products we’ve been using to keep our shared space smelling fresh. Keep your eyes peeled for information on why Cat’s Pride® Total Odor Control – Scented GREEN JUG™ is a must-buy, and also our favorite scented litter box liners from Jonny Cat!

First things first – let me tell you about the AMAZING give-back mission! Through their Litter for Good™ program, Cat’s Pride® has donated more than 8 million pounds of cat litter to shelters across the country! I can’t wait to tell you more about it, because it’s honestly so amazing! Any company that gives back to shelter pets is one that I can get behind!


COUPON: Save  $3 off your purchase of a Green Jug and $1 off your purchase of Jonny Cat liners!

Green Jug: Litter for Good Program

For every GREEN JUG™ of Cat’s Pride litter purchased, they donate a pound of litter to shelters across America to help more cats find their forever homes. To date, Cat’s Pride has donated over 8 million pounds of litter to animal welfare organizations. So next time you’re shopping for litter – buy a jug knowing you’re purchase is helping animals in need! 

And don’t worry, this litter really works!! This is a litter that has total odor control – it’s a dual-clay blend that offers 10 days of odor control. This is SUPER important to me, because my office is where the cat boxes are, and no one wants to sit all day in a workspace that’s stinky. This litter INSTANTLY locks odors to keep the space smelling clean. It also has a 99% dust-free formula, so no kick up when you’re pouring! It’s also 25% lighter in weight than other traditional scoop-able litters, and it’s available in both scented and unscented formulas.

Jonny Cat Litter Tray Liners

The convenience of the Jonny Cat litter tray liners cannot be matched. It’s America’s #1 litter box liner for a reason! It’s the thickest, strongest, and is even tear-resistant! Your cat’s claws cannot rip through them, so no ickiness with clean up, simply lift and go!

Mason

Miss Mason was our very first rescue ever! My husband and I adopted her from the Michigan Humane society – over 14 years ago! We named her after our favorite musical artist at the time, Mason Jennings. She was found on the streets of Detroit, and when we adopted her, she was just 12 weeks old. We brought her home and within two months, we quickly realized that she needed a friend to play with at home! So guess what we did? We got another (see Cubby’s story below).

Cubby

We returned to the Michigan Humane Society just two months after adopting Mason, because she was such a social cat and needed a playmate. We looked at all of the cats and kittens, and picked Cubby out because she had giant paws – my hubby thought that this meant she’d grow up to be a HUGE cat. Little did we know, she was actually polydactyl, which means she has extra toes on her feet! We named her Cubby, because as a kitten, she looked like a little bear cub! Cubby is now 14 years old and loves laying in our bed, snuggling at night, and hiding out to spend alone time.

Willow

We have had Willow for four years now. The Michigan Humane Society was having an adoption event at a local pet store, and when I saw her sweet face, the rest was history. She is the sweetest girl and has the best temperament, she’s always cheery, happy, and purring! My husband named her Willow after his grandfather, but everyone around here calls her “baby kitty”. Shortly after we got her, we realized that our older cats were getting a little too old to play, and this left miss Willow with lots of energy and no one to really play with. Sooooo……

Kevin

Kevin is my little angel baby. We found him at the pound, and he had been found alone on the streets with a terrible eye infection. He had his right eye removed, so it looks like he’s always winking at us. He is the softest, sweetest, most dog-like cat I’ve ever had. My son Wyatt named him Kevin after his favorite minion from the Despicable Me movies. When he first came home, he required more medical care than any of our other cats, so I feel like I learned a lot that I can apply to future rescues. We often go back and visit the animal control center he came from, so we can show some love to the pets there, and also donate items to make their stay better.

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

I was 23 years old.

I had just had my first ever laparoscopy after dealing with years and years of unexplained pain with hopes that the doctors would finally be able to solve the puzzle, and would finally be able to figure me out.”

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
