One day I was at a store in my home town Where I know most people and they know me They know I am a softie for wayward cats especially the wounded ones.  A  lady I know approached me telling me about an abandon wounded cat she saw in a parking lot.  Striking my curiosity up I wanted to see as to how wounded and if I could help this cat so I proceeded over to the lot. I saw a glimpse of this scraggly calico cat that appeared to not have a tail at this point I was not sure if she was a Manx ,bobtail or had it cut off as part of her injury.  I got some food and water in hopes to lure her out . I was successful she was not only wounded but starved. The poor thing looked as if some one had kicked her in the teeth and beat her up pretty badly. She really had been thru something terrible.  Even though she was real timid and afraid she let me pick her up and take her home.  I took her to the  vet she was diagnosed with head trauma, blind in the right eye and the left eye has some scarring not to mention she had been in a terrible animal fight. on top of all this the vet and I figured she had been abused by humans. he said she was 4 yrs old.  Several months later  she has made wonderful progress ,we now can see she is a stumpy Manx ,calico and very sweet. It took many months before she would come out of her closet place .I  had made her a space  all to her self which allowed her to come out on her own terms and meet the clan when she was ready.  Today she is a very lovable lap cat and I named her Dolly

CLOE

This fall had marked the one year anniversary of the passing of my 22 year old dog and companion.  I always thought that I was a ‘dog person’ until one day eight years ago our cat Mimi adopted me.  From then on I was in love with felines too.   Anyways, I felt it was time to add to our family.  I ran across a picture of Cloe on the Concho Feline Adoption and Rescue.  She stole our hearts, just as Mimi had done 8 years earlier.  I could just tell by the love in her eyes that she would be the perfect addition to our family.  Just before Christmas we adopted Cloe.  Cloe’s two favorite things to do is play and get attention.  Cloe and Mimi have become good friends; many mornings I wake up with Mimi lying on one-side of me and Cloe lying on the other.  They play together, investigate together and just about everything together (even when Mimi doesn’t want her to be.)  Cloe has been a great Christmas present.  Thank you Concho Feline Adoption and Rescue, especially Kathryn Spain for all the work you are doing.  Thank you for saving our ‘little girl!’

Our family was wanting a cat for our girls so we went on Petfinder and saw Concho Felines Adoption & Rescue group and so we decided to check it out. We saw several cats that were possibilities and decided to call Kathryn and tell her which ones we were interested in. Kathryn explained the policies and procedures involved and told us she matches the cats personality and needs  to the families personality and needs. Once I told her what we were looking for she knew the cat. Cookie was the one. Our family loves Cookie soooo much and we have nicked named her Cookie Monster. We think cookie loves her new family She  greets us at the door when we come home and shows us she is happy to see us. We are so thankful for Kathryn at  Concho Felines for finding us the purrfect cat for our family.

Many Thanks from
Caroline K. and family

A friend of mine told me about the Concho Felines web site. I went and looked at it and when I saw the picture of Max and read his story, I knew that he was a cat that I would love. After I went through the adoption process, my friend brought Max to me when he went to San Angelo for a family visit. Max has endeared himself to my family and has acquired the nickname “Loudmouth”. He has a lot of personality and is, at times, quite a character. At the end of the day, he demands his bedtime treat, then snuggles up next to me and hogs as much of my space in bed as he can.

A Friend and Companion

I never had a cat before. I called Kathryn regarding adopting a cat. She took my information, interviewed with me to see if I would be a good cat owner and to see what kind of cat would be compatible for me. She did not have what I needed so she said she would call other rescuers to try to locate one for me.
Kathryn called me back that night to tell me she couldn't find one at a any of the rescuers, but she found me one at the animal shelter and would bring it to me the next day. I did not know this, but Kathryn had made arrangements to adopt the cat for me. That next day, they brought me my wonderful cat. I offered to pay for the cat but Kathryn would not let me. I did not adopt the cat the cat adopted me. I was really depressed and very lonely before owning this cat. He is a friend and companion. He brings much joy and happiness to my life. Thank you Concho Feline Adoption & Rescue!

CiCi

Here is my CiCi. I adopted her from Concho Felines and she is the best cat I have ever owned. She is lovable, obedient and sleeps in between my husband and I at night. She will sit on my lap in the chair while I watch TV and when it's time for bed, she follows me right in there. I just love her so much. Thanks to Concho Felines, I have truly found my perfect cat!

Cheeto

In the summer of 2004, I decided that I wanted a cat so I began looking at animal shelters and rescues, looking for just the right one to fit in with my family. I have a teenage daughter, a chocolate lab, and a husband who was not too fond of having a cat inside. That was before I called and spoke to Kathryn about finding the right kitty. She listened to my situation and what I was looking for in a cat and told me she had just the one for me. Boy was she right! She brought this adorable gray tabby to my house. I instantly fell in love with him. We named him Cheeto. He fits right in with everyone, including my husband, who was sure he wouldn't like him. There is just something about knowing you helped to save the life of another that makes you feel warm inside and creates a strong bond. We all love him and can't imagine life without him. He is so full of life. He is always making us laugh with his silly games he likes to play. Thank you Concho Feline Adoption & Rescue. You've given us a new family member that we enjoy more than you know. Keep up the good work.

Buddy (A Special Placement)

We were looking for a dog for our son. We came across an ad in the paper for a litter of puppies that had been dumped by the side of the road. I went to the website and they were adorable. I contacted Kathryn at Concho Felines Adoption and Rescue. She interviewed us to see if we would make a good match with one of the puppies. Much to our delight, Kathryn gave us the number to Mr. & Mrs. King, who had found the puppies and been caring for them. We made arrangements to see the puppies and Mr. & Mrs. King couldn't have been friendlier.They had done such a wonderful job taking care of them. The King's are such wonderful people for picking up those puppies and taking them in to find new homes. We found a puppy that was a perfect match for our family.

Thanks to Concho Felines for looking out for other animals, besides cats. Mr. & Mrs. King, we would like to thank you for taking in all 7 puppies until Concho Feline Adoption & Rescue could find homes. Now we have a wonderful new addition to our family. Thank you for helping us to save an animal.

Miss Abigail Belle

She was not a cat who craved attention. Instead, she is a cat who owns us. We recognized that she needed space, time, patience and acceptance. We gave her all of these and more. At times it was challenging, but by not forcing her to be a cat of a different disposition, she slowly came around. She still does her own thing in her own way. But we love her for being herself.

Sly

I have waited for the right opportunity to get a cat. When my husband finally agreed that it was the right time I wanted to find a young male cat and name him Sly. To my surprise, when I saw him, I knew he was the one. His name turned out already being Sly. He is very playful and is a perfect fit for our family. Thanks Concho Feline Adoption & Rescue!

Lorelei

I recently lost 2 of my cats....one to mediastinal lymphoma and the other to liver failure. After a few months, I noticed that my other cats were very lonely. So was I for that matter. I decided to adopt a kitten. I looked in the paper and at the shelters, but, couldn't find the cat that seemed right for our family. Finally, looking on-line, I came across Concho Feline Adoption and Rescue. The minute I saw the picture of Lorelei on that web site I knew she was our cat. I called Kathryn and we made arrangements for a 2 week trial to see how things would go. It has now been several weeks and things are going great! Lorelei has been a blessing to us. She is so cute and sweet. She plays with the other animals and has become best friends with my little dog, Sprockett. She makes me laugh on a daily basis! Thank you Concho Felines for your wonderful organization.

Miss Kitty

I adopted Miss Kitty in late February of 2005 from The Concho Felines Adoption Program. A Concho Feline staff member contacted me on the adoption process and how to go about meeting with her. She wanted to see where and how I live to make sure Miss Kitty would be in good hands. They also gave me a two week trial period to make sure Miss Kitty and I were compatible. Ever since then, Miss Kitty and I have been living a great life together. She is spoiled rotten of course, however after being a stray cat she deserves the best. I would recommend the adoption program to anyone looking for a friend. In fact, I am about to adopt another one so Miss Kitty will have a friend. No matter what you are looking for there is a compatible cat for you and by adopting from Concho Felines you are saving a life.
