Howdy gang, thanks for stopping by for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am always thankful to each of you for joining us! Each and every Thursday we share the things for which we are most thankful and we always enjoy reading all of the things you are thankful for too. If you are new to our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop, thanks for hopping in, we really do get excited when new blogger pals join us!
Today, on behalf of all of us at Brian’s Home, I want to introduce you to our newest sister, her name is Kiki. She’s very small, about 10 months old and is just as sweet as she can be. We’re all thankful to have her as a part of our family.
FUN FACT: Kiki was on our header all day yesterday and nobody noticed her up there.
Kiki showed up on one of our feral cams on May 4th and she looked pretty scared. She started showing up in our yard but the ferals scared her a good bit. She kept coming back trying to get something to eat. Finally, she made her way to the feeding stations and became a regular at meal time. She quickly learned the feeding schedule and came back for food just like clockwork. We tried to see if someone was missing her but they weren’t, nobody was looking for her.
Then she started rubbing on Dad’s legs before she had something to eat. Our Dad was able to pick her up and pet her lots, she loves being petted. We’re pretty sure she was left behind when humans down the street moved away. It was obvious from the start that she loves the human touch.
On Tuesday, July 26th, the Dad picked her up and put her in a carrier. They made the jaunt to the Vet to get her checked out. Kiki tested negative for the bad stuff and her spay day is scheduled for August 16th. Once we got home we discovered she had a cough so she went back to the Vet on Monday to get it checked out, all is good.. She was super good riding in the car both times.
So, there you have it, an unexpected new sister that fit right in after day two and we’re thankful we get to introduce her to you. So, what are you thankful for today? Tell us in the comments and then join us for our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
This is wonderful news! Dolly is cheering from the rainbow bridge, I’m sure. Your humans do good works. And yes, I am guilty of not really noticing banners of favorite blogs. I’m too anxious to read! lol Blessings, my dears.
Hooray for a new sister! You’re right, i didn’t see her in the header until you pointed her out, but i only just read your Wednesday post about ten minutes ago on the old computer. It’s so old it doesn’t even show the whole picture at the top!
Congratulations to Kiki, i’m so glad your family took her in.
WAIT?!?!?
WHAT!?!?
She got left BEHIND?!?!?!? WTF is it with stupid, horrible, nasty people. * bangs head against wall * I mean seriously.
But, maybe KiKi lucked out and found a much MUCH MUCH BETTER and safer haven.
Bienvenido Kitty es muy lindo. Te mando un beso.

Hello, and welcome pretty little one ~ we have no doubt you’ll enjoy your new furever home and family!
We are so happy for you, Kiki and you are such a pretty little girl!
Welcome to your forever home, Kiki! You chose a very good place when you started visiting the feeding station at Brian’s.
Well we are very thankful your Dad was there to help Kiki and that now she is part of your family. Kiki you are gorgeous.
Wow! Congratulations and what an adorable and sweet girl she is! You all will make her feel welcome and she will settle right in. What a lucky kitty!
Nice to meet you beautiful Kiki! I am so happy for you.You have found the best home ever.
Thanks for hosting. Have a wonderful day. XO
Welcome to your new home, Kiki… you are so cute and beautiful. Love your eyes. It is proof that you fit right in with your siblings that none of us noticed you in the header. I am a tad embarrassed about that. I teared up a little reading your happy story of Dad picking you up and then bringing you into their home. I love a Cinderella story and yours is one. You are blessed to be there, and they are blessed you found them. It breaks my heart that humans can just move off and leave their pets.
Oh that is such wonderful news! Welcome home, Kiki! You are a real cutie. You chose yourself the best family ever. We are looking forward to following your adventures!
Purrs,
The Chans
Welcome Kiki! Oh boy are you in the BEST possible home EVER! There are lots of great nap spots in that house too so you should have no problem finding good places to keep an eye on things. Your photo looks great in the “header line-up” – you’re a pretty little girl who is going to have a GREAT life now that you’re safe in a home. Thanks to Brian for hosting the Hop today too! We are SO thankful for many things including meeting the new family member!!
Hugs, Teddy
Well hello Kiki!!!! Sorry to hear you were abandoned(that’s what mum and I think) but yay for you finding Brian’s Home!!!!
You could not have a better place to live. Mum and I are sure you will love living there and you will have such pawsome siblings:) I look forward to learning more about you and seeing you enjoy life 🙂
Purrs, Julie
Awwww, Kiki is beautiful. I am so thankful to hear she is home now ♥
Oh my gosh, welcome, Kiki!!! You’re such a beautiful ladycat, and you’ve found an amazing forever home! We’re thrilled for you all! ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome Kiki! You hit the jackpot with your new forever home. We can’t wait to learn more about you.
Welcome to your new home, Kiki. You couldn’t have a better forever home. You’re most adorable too. I’m doing the happy dance for you.
Thank you for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Hugs cecilia
Welcome Kiki!!! You are absolutely beautiful and you have found the absolute purrfect forever home!
KIki, you are so cu-cute! We were just wondering about how the ferals were
doing and here you must have lost your home but now have a super home. Precious
What a wonderful win-win story for Kiki and her human and fur family. She’s so cute! Much happiness.
Hi Kiki! You are beautiful! And you have found the purrfect home! ~Ernie
Welcome to the family, Kiki. You sure are a beauty and were very smart to let the dad know you liked to be around people.
Welcome to your new home kiki. Such a cutie
The stars were rightly aligned! Welcome, Kiki, to your *real* forever home!
Welcome to your new home! What a happy story of Kiki becoming a member of Brian’s gang!
Congratulations! Kiki is just a beauty, isn’t she? I’m so very sorry she was abandoned, alone and scared and also not spayed, not good! But there is a happy ending, she is loved and safe now – hooray! You are all Superheroes, you know that – right?
We are thankful for YOU having Kiki, who looks so regal and perhaps has a mix of Siamese somewhere in there…absolutely BEAUTIFUL, that Kiki. MERCI for including her in your family
OH OH OH!
Hello, sweet Kiki!
You are as cute as a button, and fie on any human that didn’t treat you properly in the past.
Concatulations!
Concats!! She knew a good place when she found it
oh my cod!!! wat a beauty!!!! Kiki, smart little girl, big hugz frum us
oh she is so sweet…. as you told the story I could feel her fear and hopelessness… I felt how lost she must have felt… and now safe and loved. She is so beautiful and fitting right in… 10 months old, still a baby. I’m so glad you two and cats family were there for her. Love expands to include others…. LeeAnna and Milo
Kiki is beautiful and very lucky to have found all of you.
I could not be any happier for all of the family and certainly for baby Kiki.
Oh, what a beautiful little kitty girl you are, Kiki! And lucky too. You have hit the jackpot with your new home. Maybe it wasn’t just chance though. We are pretty sure Angel Dolly had a paw in it, whispering in your ear and making sure you ended up exactly where you were destined to be – with a family for whom “forever” really does mean forever.
Welcome to your new furever home, Kiki! You will never be abandoned again. And we voted, and it is unanimous: you are one of the most beautiful kitties we’ve ever seen. XOX Xena, Lucy and Riley
Oh Kiki ~ I am so happy for you ~ you are adorable and your Mom and Dad are treasures ~ blessings for all ~ Xo

Brian, I have said it before and will say it again, your mom and dad totally rock!! Thank you mom and Dad, Terry for taking this beauty in and giving her a FUR EVER home. She is adorable and I am hoping that she is wrapping the rest of the felines around he pretty paw! I love it….If I had the body, the land and the money I would make a BIG place for strays and ferals. I prefer strays since most of them are like Kiki, don’t mind holding and rubbing. Feral cats don’t want my hugs! However, if… Read more »

Charlee: “Hooray for a new sibling! Welcome aboard, Kiki!”
Chaplin: “You sure are cute! And I can’t believe we didn’t spot you up there in the header!”
Charlee: “We must have been too busy trying to figure out what Seal was looking at.”
Chaplin: “Or maybe it was Simon’s eyes!”
Lulu: “Or maybe you cats just aren’t as observant as you think you are.”
Charlee: “No, that can’t be it …”
Congratulations to you and your pack. You have many wonderful years coming up. We are thankful that you joined your family.
Welcome home Kiki you are so pretty and your name is adorable, you are one lucky kitty to have such a loving home where you will be spoiled rotten, thank you Brian for adopting home, you a hero in our eyes.
Welcome home, Kiki. I know you are little and may not know it yet, but you have hit the jackpot of families. You are going to live your best kitty-life!
Happy gotcha day, sweet girl.
Your new furend, Pip
Welcome, Kiki! You adopted the purrfect family! And paws up to your pawtastic mom and dad for taking you off the streets.
Welcome to the family Kiki – what a wonderful ending to what could have been a tragic story – you are a smart gal for finding the purr-fect family to love you!
Congratulations on the new family mempurr! I guess we’re all used to seeing large numbers of cats on your header so it doesn’t immediately stand out.
I am thrilled for you all! Yes, from Kiki’s behaviour, she must be used to human interaction. And she’s good in the car, too.
Bonus. Kiki’s a lovely little girl, and I hope all the other kitties learn to love her, too. So darn sweet. Hurray!
Happy Sunday guys, many apologies for being a little late this week, but OMC mew’ve got a new sisfur, how epically epic!!!
We are thrilled and so excited for mew, and she sure is purretty!
Oh my gosh, welcome to Kiki! She picked the perfect yard to show up in!
Welcome Kiki! You have found a great forever home with some nice hoomans. Oh yeah, let’s not forget Brian and your other new furblings. They’ll soon be your bestest of furiends. And, now you won’t have to ever worry about outside things again in safe, loving surroundings. 🙂
