Where Are They Meow? Former Catmandu Cats & Kitties
Over the last 10 years, more than 2700 cats and kittens have passed through our doors and into a better life. This page celebrates those who were adopted and shares an update on where they are now.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated! We really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how your furkid(s) are doing. It means a lot to us!
I adopted Ronald from Catmandu in November 2023. I had recently lost my 2 senior dachshunds and was lonely and looking for a friend. I decided to stop by Catmandu to say hi to the kitties. Linda introduced me to Ronald. He was not adjusting well to the shelter life and was hiding from everyone. I sat down next to the hidey hole that he was hiding in and after talking to him for a few minutes, he came out to say hi and gave me a kiss on the hand. That's when I knew he had to come home with me. Now he helps me take care of my elderly parents, and he has completely bonded with his cat brother, Aries. He tolerates his cat sister, Skye. He still gets a little scared with new people, but he is becoming more confident. He has helped heal my heart from the loss of my two fur babies. I love him so, and I am grateful for Catmandu and Linda bringing us together.
Gentle Ben
Gentle Ben is living his best life. He spent his first 10 years on the streets in California. When he came to Catmandu he spent all this time outside on the big catio. The consensus was that he would do best as an indoor/outdoor with access to a catio. I scooped him up in 2022 and brought him home to join my kitty gang.
Nowadays he actually goes outdoors less than his brofurs! He knows what’s outside. Here he is maxxing and relaxing on the catio.

Dottie
In 2017 I was looking for a calico to add to the family. She came right up to me in the office of Catmandu and asked to go home with me.
Dottie was just a year old, but she had already been a mom and raised 5 kittens.
She fit right in at home with my two male kitties, one of which cleans her ears regularly.
She loves being outside in the summer evenings on my fenced-in covered catio/porch. She is a regular hidey cat now and no one has ever seen her but me.
Lately she has learned to pull out the drawers under my bed and sleep the day away amongst my winter hats.
Dottie loves being petted and brushed and purrs loudly. She is happy.

Mimi
In 2019 I was looking for a female with orange coloring. Claire was at Catmandu looking for a home. She had just raised 4 kittens and was pretty skinny and about a year old. We met, fell in love and went home together.
I renamed her Mimi. She is a beautiful girl with amber eyes and very thick fur that she loves having brushed all year long.
She does not get along with an older male cat even though they have known each other for 5 years.
Mimi is not afraid of visitors and noises. While the other cats run and hide when someone comes in she runs to the catio/porch to see who it is.
While I have never heard a peep out of her during the day, she makes noises at night when the other cats are on my bed. Silly girl!

Loki
LOKI was adopted in June 2023.
He took to us and his new home immediately. He’s a big love, independent, a lap cat, social, indoors, outdoors, inquisitive, sly, playful, loves his companion Sheba, not too keen about snow, doesn’t mind getting wet, patrols the backyard, and keeps the house safe.
Loki fits right in and is a special and very loved member of the family. We are so lucky to have him.

Smokey
After Herbie went to the Rainbow Bridge, we brought Smokey, formerly known as Gabby, into our home as a Senior 2 Senior Foster. That was in July 2021. It was definitely a mutual rescue. He did NOT like other cats and was struggling at Catmandu. We had a big hole in our hearts and our home from losing Herbie. Smokey had a few stubborn spots of ringworm but his uncle step-daddy Rob helped give him back a healthy coat and a happy disposition. These days after we've turned out the lights for the night he'll yowl from the other side of the house with a toy at his feet. Yep, last call for running through the tunnel. We love him so much! Thank you Linda.
Herbie
Herbie the Love Bug...I had just started as a volunteer at Catmandu when Herbie arrived. Love at first sight. I came to see him as often as I could and when he came out of quarantine he came home with me (adopted 7/17/2019). He loved gnawing on toes through bed covers and went crazy with water bottle caps- could have won the Stanley Cup! He flew onto counter tops like one of the Flying Wallendas. We miss him and send a donation in his memory.
Li'l Biscuit
Li'l Biscuit (formerly Summer)
She may be a bit feisty and moody (and downright crazy) at times, but this little snuggler is a total love bug! We are so happy we found her at Catmandu..........She has her forever home with us! 🙂

Mama and Duxx
Mama has made the greatest change of them all. In the beginning Mama really struggled with the change. She was still hiding a few weeks into staying here whereas her siblings were already out and about. After lots of love and patience Mama is thriving. She is the most affectionate cat by far. She follows us around the house wherever we are and is warming someone’s lap 24/7. You cannot sit down without her on you, we love it!
Duxxie-
Duxxie-Doodle’s sweet and gentle personality really has shown itself being in her very own home. She loves affection, specifically at bedtime, and will not stop meowing till she gets it. As soon as you pet her she just turns into this big ol cuddle puddle and the rest is history. She definitely takes the title of best cuddler!
Posm, Toto, Mama and Duxx all came in together back in December of 2022 after their beloved owner passed away. As an employee and volunteer at Catmandu, my friends and I spent countless hours socializing these semi-feral cats. If it wasn’t for the help of the Catmandu team and our amazing volunteers, they would not be where they are today! After coming home with us in March of 2024, they are absolutely thriving.
Thanks so much for everything, these cats are the highlights of our lives. They make us so happy and we are so grateful they are a part of the family. Thanks everyone!

Toto
Toto was the most feral of the four. Toto is shy around humans but has become the bravest of all his siblings. His curiosity and inquisitiveness sets him apart from the others. He loves to explore even when it’s stuff he shouldn’t. He is the trouble maker of the house and is into everything but we love him even more because of it. He LOVES to play, and his favorite activities include racing throughout the house during zoomie time, annoying his siblings, climbing all the cat trees, and doing backflips during cat wand play time. He makes great progress everyday, we are able to pet him quite frequently now! His is a character that’s for sure!

Posm
Posm is the cat I really felt a connection with back at Catmandu. Since then, he’s become my little best friend. He loves affection, play time and especially dinner. He keeps everyone on schedule for dinner, not even a minute late is acceptable. His favorite activity is carrying his mouse toys around the house in his mouth and bringing them to me in the middle of the night. 3am is his prime time to bring them and he won’t stop meowing till I accept his gift. I find them frequently hidden in my shoes or in my bed. Apparently I must be bad at hunting since he feels the need to bring me “food”!

Willow
I adopted a 10 year old senior cat named Willow from you in 2015. She is now a VERY senior cat at age 19. Willow is very healthy looking, she doesn’t look her age but she is starting to slow down a bit. She doesn’t always want to jump up on her cat tree to eat, so I lift her up.
I was cleaning my inside oven door when I turned away and came back to her sitting inside the oven looking cute.
She’s very special to me.

Luke
Here's a little collage of Luke and his progress over the years. You would not believe he was that scaredy kitty with all of the sickness in the beginning. He still has seizures now and then. He is now 10 years old and is everyone's sweetie. He comes to me all the time now and sleeps on me and has been giving sweet little stinky kisses. He even lets the children pet him. I thought he would get depressed after Harry passed but instead he has become my baby. Thank you for my boy 💚
Luigi & Contessa
Luigi (gray and white) and Contessa (black and white) were adopted August 21, 2020. They are doing very well. Luigi is totally handsome, an outrageous flirt and the more sociable of the two! Contessa is in to everything and comes for the occasional cuddle. They play together, they sleep together and they get along with our senior girl, Miss Kitty.
Thank you, Catmandu

Pumpkin (formerly Piper)
I adopted Pumpkin (formly known as Piper) during the Maddie's adoption days in 2018 ( I think that's what it was called). He was born early September. I adopted him as a kitten. His mom was adopted before him and some of his siblings. I lived in Fallon when I adopted him. I used to drive back and forth to get his first shots and neuter. He was a baby when I brought him home.
Pumpkin is still a cuddle bug. I've always been his favorite human. He's living the good life with his sister, Maggie (dog) in California now. We love Pumpkin so much and couldn't imagine life without him. Best decision ever was adopting him.

Ginger (formerly Denzel)
This is Ginger, formerly known as Denzel. We brought this sweet boy home on 06-19-2021.
He’s the sweetest guy who makes friends with everyone and shares a pillow with my youngest child.

Cloudy (formerly Sunny - adopted 2021)
Cloudy was adopted by the Clough family, owners of the Gold Hill Hotel.
" He loves his life as the resident cat. Here is a recent picture of him on ghost tour. It’s his favorite Night. He attends all the ghost tours and spends many nights in strangers’ rooms (We joke he is a little slut)"

Orangie (adopted 2022)
Orangie and his human Judith now live in Tacoma, WA.
Judith writes "He seems very happy here. The house has two stories, so he had to become familiar with stairs. We have a great time here. He has places to sleep and hide if he wants to. His food dish is always full and we do a special treat ritual each night. I would venture to say that he loves me and I, for sure, love him."

Fluffers! (adopted 2023)
Mr. Fluffers is the biggest cuddle monster. He took a few weeks to open up, but once he trusted us he turned into the sweetest boy. He spends his days as a lap kitty getting pets and cuddles. He loves to cuddle on top of your chest and give you kisses to let you know he’s ready for pets. He loves forehead kisses and scratches behind the ears. Mr. Fluffers has been the best addition to our family! Thank you so much Catmandu for the wonderful work you do!
Charlie (formerly Brave - adopted 2021)
Charlie is quite comfortable and much loved. He is a very independent boy with a unique personality that we love. He is best friends with our German shepherd and pretty much thinks he is a dog himself.
The Amazing Dave (adopted 2023)
As you can see, Dave is very comfortable and much loved in his new home. His favorite pastimes are eating, cuddling with his people or a dog and napping.
Winona (fomerly Jewel - adopted 2018)
When I came to Catmandu to write a story for Carson Now, I had no intention of adopting a cat. In fact, I’d never even owned a cat before as I was horribly allergic to them my entire childhood! However, while I was taking pictures of the kittens, a scruffy little black thing began screaming at me from a different cage. I was petting and holding other kittens, which she seemed personally offended by. When I finally went in and picked her up, she melted in my hands, and I knew we were meant to be! Later that evening when I came to get her, the Catmandu staff member said she had been sitting next to the door for hours as if waiting for something, and had even refused to eat her dinner.
Now, almost six years later, Winona Ryder (aka Nona or Noni Bologna) is the ruler of our house. She loves taunting our dogs and terrorizing her cat brother, but she never gets in trouble because she’s spoiled rotten.

Sookie (adopted 2020)
I adopted Sookie from Catmandu June 14, 2020 at age 9 months. She's my one and only because she won't allow any others in her house. She's 4 years old now and very spoiled. Her favorite things are watching the birds outside from inside the house, chasing buggies and leaves from inside the house, playing chase with her mommy, her laser, eating lots of treats, making lots of biscuits, and snuggling with her mommy. She's smart, silly, chatty, a great supervisor and inspector, really soft, and stinkin adorable! She's the love of my life! I thank everyone at Catmandu for everything they do for the kitties! Happy 10th anniversary!
Ilean (formerly Zena the tripod - adopted 2022)
Ilean aka Leanie is a huge cuddle bug. She loves giving great big hugs while getting head and chin scratchies, which I call knuckle sandwiches. Our days include bird watching, biscuit making, and parkour. We are in love and happy to spend our lives together.
Abbi and daughter Chuk (adopted in 2020)
Orphaned when her owner died, Abbi was a new mom with 5 kittens. She went to Linda Miner for fostering in May 2020 and never left. The other kittens found homes, but her daughter Chuk stayed as well. They are happy foster fails, living the good life as well-loved and thoroughly spoiled housecats.
