Dearest Kelley, Abner has now turned 1 year old and I wanted to tell you how amazing life has been this past year. Full of so much change and redirection. He truly is the sweetest and most affectionate cat I’ve ever had. He loves following me everywhere I go and plopping down on my yoga mat. He travels with me whether it’s to work, visiting friends, flying across country, or just going for a drive. He’s “preciously portable” as my friends have quoted. There is no one who hasn’t fallen in love with him. Most of all… ME! You are such an amazing woman and I know it translates into your beautiful cattery and the kittens you raise. I’m truly blessed to have crossed your path last year. I have recommended you to all those who have fallen in love with Big Ab! I’m glad we were able to visit with you a year later. We will always stay in touch as it so much fun sharing pics and his growing fur with you. Thank you again for all the blessings you have given me during a difficult time with the loss of my dear Pompi. You will never know how much you helped me. 5 stars to Windy Valley Persians. I would never look anywhere else. Not only did I get a new kitten I got a friend in you. Love & Blessings always. Lara & Abner

Dear Lara, We are so happy that Abner is in such a loving home with you. He is quite handsome and you two look great together. “Preciously portable” is a perfect word for him. We can’t thank you enough for sharing how he has become such a great part of your life. Happy Birthday Big Ab! Thank you for your kind words.

Hello Kelley, I thought you might be happy to know that I had a call yesterday evening from my vet. She wanted your cattery info, as she had several people ask her about where to get a Persian kitten and she wanted to send them to you, since Percy made a great impression. I gave her your website address, and she said she would pass it on to the clients who’d asked her about Persians. I figured you would appreciate knowing Percy is a good ambassador for Windy Valley Persians. So if you get a few people calling or emailing from Yorba Linda, that’s probably why 🙂 Percy is well. He, like Gypsy, believes the ceiling fan was installed for the comfort of the cat. He got comfortable enough with his “safe space” that he has been allowed to explore most of the downstairs area and quickly found all the spots where he can lie so the fan helps cool him off. He even protested yesterday when he was brought downstairs and the fan was off. I thought you might appreciate the good word from my vet. Carol

Hello Kelley, Wanted to thank you again for Percy and for all the hard work making sure he’s so well socialized and used to being groomed. He’s been a joy at home, and quickly let us know that a room with no person in it was NOT an acceptable temporary home, so his new safe room is the spare bedroom my daughter uses over the summer. They both seem to enjoy this arrangement quite a bit, and my daughter is used to young animals, having had her puppy in with her a few years ago at her Dad’s house. Percy is still closed off from Gypsy, although thanks to him thinking freedom was just behind the door, they did get one face to face meeting already this afternoon. Gypsy seems open to negotiations, as her response was simply to stomp off to her cat tree and glower at him. I’m betting she will come around pretty quickly (and I sure hope she does, her dropping a cat toy in my mouth last night was exactly why I got her some same-species companionship.) Percy quickly discovered both microfiber blankets and plush animals, as he’s made himself at home on my daughter’s bed. He certainly seems to enjoy the kibble a bit more than the meat, although he’s eaten a bit of that. I know you have quite a few pictures, but thought you might like one of his first day here. Thank you again, Carol

Dear Carol, Thank you so much for sharing your news about Percy. He sounds like he’s adjusting very well. Mr. Ambassador Percy is a very handsome boy and he is blessed to be in your family. We also appreciate you letting us know that your vet is interested in Windy Valley. It is a great compliment.

Hello Kelley, How are you? Our little fur-babies are just over two years old now, Ponder the black and white male and Wonder the brown patched tabby and white female. They’re our favorite part of our world and the best morning alarm clock we’ve ever had! Haha 🙂 Since we work at home they follow us around the condo all day it’s just amazing how close we are. They’re the favorites at the grooming shop we go to because they’re apparently so nice and easy to work with. Ponder is outgoing and adventurous and isn’t afraid to try to eat my lunch as his favorite thing is food. Thankfully regular vet visits help us keep an eye on his weight! He’d eat a whole garden of vegetables if I had one! Wonder is the little princess, she’s quiet, reserved, very polite and especially loves to snuggle before bed at night. Thank you for these loving cats! Lesley

Dear Lesley, It’s absolutely wonderful that Ponder and Wonder are such a happy part of your lives. We can’t tell you how happy that makes us to know they are in a lovely family and enjoying themselves. It truly warms our hearts to be updated on how they are doing. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Hi Kelley, I thought I’d just let you know how wonderfully Casper has adjusted to our family. He’s an angel! Loves to cuddle with everyone including our girls. Thank you for the fantastic kitty 🙂 We will definitely be coming back when we are ready for another one in coming years! Sincerely, Eva E.

Dear Eva, We are so happy that Casper is in such a loving home with you. He is adorable and looks perfectly content. Such a sweet picture showing true love. We can’t thank you enough for sharing that he is an angel and a great part of your lives. Thank you for your kind words.
