Another Jennelrex kitten on her way to her new forever home.

June 08, 2010

Hi Jennifer,

Just wanted to let you know that Shayla is completely settled into her new home. She has an amazing personality - loving and cuddly, yet playful. She loves to sleep next to Kayla and be held in her arms. She's better than we could have imagined! The vet found her to be in perfect health and I did get the green form in the mail.

Hello Jennifer,
Well I have been doing a lot of looking and emailing and honestly I have read your page the most. I am moved by all of your past clients and there stories. None of the other pages I saw had customer feedback. Your page and there stories impacted me so much. I had my boyfriend read your page as well and we both feel very good and confident about dealing with you directly. 

Our plans are to purchase two kittens at the same time perferably a white and black one like Sebastian and Minnie on the 9/28/09 client story. I am going to keep you posted in the coming months and set up some time to come there and see the cattery and meet you . Thank you again for your help.

Chat with you later,
Marshawn

Dear Jennifer

We are finally getting a chance to thank you both for allowing myself and Candice into your home to meet your beautiful family members, WOW what an experience. I hope you keep us in mind for one of your kittens (hopefully we are ready sooner rather than later) Candice is very specific about Sherri's litter, I'd be happy with a match that you feel would be best for us both. 

Jennifer I LOVE your two SPHYNX's. I have never seen a mammal of such beauty and personality up close like I did at your house before. I tell everyone at my job about them. I promised myself that one day in my lifetime I will surely make it my business to love a sphynx kitten in my own home one day.

You and Jim are very special in this world we live in. You both are fortunate to have met one another and your story is captivating. That day, years ago, when Jim pushed his relief aside and hopped on that plane to Texas during the flood only to bring back your happiness touched my heart. That story ensures me that you both are very special and so is your love for one another.

Sincerely,
Anthony & Candice

Hi Jennifer,

Wow, how exciting. I was just browsing your site and I saw about your hybrids. I had never heard of them, so I thought I would ask. I love looking at your site! And I am glad you are having such success. You have been breeding for quite some time now. It shows what a great program you have. Cosmo and Kramer are doing so well. What great boys. We love them so much, they are so special. They have been very healthy, knock on wood. The only time that Cosmo has gotten sick was when he has gotten into things he shouldn't. He is really sneaky. Last week he was sneaking up on the top of the refrigerator where we keep the dogs bowl of food. I thought I had it blocked so he couldn't get it, but it wasn't the case. I finally figured it out when he was throwing up. He is fine now and the food is in a safe spot.

My fiancé Warnell (he proposed in November), and I just became foster parents. She is almost 6 months old, but was born 4 months early. She was released from the hospital to us on December 18th. She was 4 pounds. She is 8lbs now. The pets are fabulous with her.

Congratulations again on your successful breeding program! Your babies are so gorgeous. I love looking at them and have to force myself not to call and put down a deposit! LOL. I hope one day to have another of your Devons and one of your Sphynx ( I would like a dark colored one-so cool!)

Are you on facebook?

Hi Jennifer,

The vet was today. Definitely a hit with everyone. Statistics are good and healthy at 1.4 lbs. She is totally in love with the blanket you sent home with her and seems happiest snuggled in that. What kind of detergent and softener do you use.? Thought I might be able to recreate the smell. She's doing the devon chirping with loud meows when feeling like she needs to find me or she's wanting what I'm eating and wanting to share. She's positively almost aggressive when she thinks there's something she likes. Ice cream is one: broiled salmon another. So far.... I think it's healthier for her to eat her kitty food which she eats very vigorously and eagerly. If I have sweat pants on she just climbs up and seem to like sitting on my shoulder. I just let her have a little of the people food.
I didn't realize she even knew where her litter box was and I have been taking her regularly. Last night she suddenly leapt off the bed about 4 ft to the floor and scampered 100 mph down the hall to get to the litter box. What a mensch (if that's the correct spelling)! 
I also enjoyed my visit with you and it did feel like family. I'll have to bring her for a visit when she gets a bit older and the weather's warmer.
Hugs, Sally

Hi Jennifer, Jim & your beautiful cats, 

Harley is doing very well, he has adjusted amazingly within our home! The first day, he was very tired from the trip & in one of the photos - you'll see him all wrapped up in his blanket on my lap, while I was on my computer. He was extremely lovey, dovey that day & throughout the night! The next day, he spent exploring every nich & corner and little by little easing his way to Hoochie Man. You are right - he LOVES to play fetch, he'll do it as long as we will... Our home has not been baby proofed since Lea Lyn (our granddaughter) was born (May 2007) BUT little by little, we are finding that Harley Boy is loving so many "NO NO'S"!!!!!! WE JUST LOVE HIM SO VERY MUCH.....Yesterday, he took over Hoochie Man's - top of a cushy chair with Hoochie's blanket on it. Hoochie meowed loudly at Harley, so he got down & put him on the back of our cushy couch on his own blanket, plus I had a light on behind the couch & he liked the warmth. They are so funny to watch because one will take over the others things & back & forth!! The other thing he loves to do is be Mommy's helper! I was dusting the bedroom, yesterday & he was trying to help any way he could, by grabbing the rag or just watching the rag go back & forth! Whenever I go to the bathroom, he jumps into the tub & plays with a toy I put in there, just for those bathroom times. He sits outside the shower & waits for me to finish - crying his little cries! He has different sounds, some are so faint & some sounds like he is talking. I feel sorry for you that you miss him so much, boy I would miss him, too. He is just one of a kind, I am so grateful that the lady from Denmark could not take him but I do feel bad for her, also.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hi Jennifer,

It has been some time since we've been in touch. Thought I would take a couple of minutes to connect with you via e-mail. Sebastian is doing g-r-e-a-t! although I must admit he has packed on a few pounds. He is solid & muscular. When I look at Minnie & Sebastian side by side, she looks sooooo tiny by comparison. Both Minnie & Sebastian are eating a grain-free kibble. Minnie, I supplement with small amounts of wet food from time to time. Sebastian notoriously turns his nose up at ANY wet food & walks right on by it.

While I do not have the litter box system like you have, I did invest in an automated cleaning Litter Robot II system. At first ONLY Sebastian was daring enough to try it out -- he loves it & used it from the first day. It took Minnie 5 months before she decided to even poke her head in there (she has some issue with anything "over" her head ?). After another month went by before Minnie actually stepped foot inside. Now, I am so happy to report both cats use the Litter Robot, exclusively. Makes my life a bit easier.

Sebastian & Minnie have become "best buddies". Minnie grooms Sebastian & he is eager to let her do it. However, Sebastian does not reciprocate. He is quite content being pampered. He is my #1 "look out" cat. Any noise in the house, from outside, the road etc. -- he is quick to listen in the direction of the sound. His ears perk up like radar! He even listens for my car to enter the driveway and he's instantly in the picture window greeting me with a couple of "meows". By the time I unlock the front door, he is right there with Minnie to greet me.
Hope all is well with you and your furry family, too.

Having Sasha come into our family was wonderful. She is very affectionate and enjoys settling into my lap while watching TV. She sleeps on our bed, and it's so nice to feel her little warm body snuggled up next to us there. It's very funny to watch her Devon antics when she decides she has some energy to spare. Tossing and retrieving her little furry mice toys make it easy to see she is happy and was well socialized in your home. She spends a great deal of time on our screened-in porch where she watches the birds and squirrels at our backyard bird feeders. We love her very much -- thank you for all you did to give her such a great start in life. She's my "heart kitty" for sure!
Hugs from us both,
Barbara

Hi Jennifer!

Sorry this took me so long. How is your family doing? I looked at your website the other day. I guess you have a new batch of kittens out of Sowee. How many did she have? Is Ziggy their dad? What are Shaggy and Shelby’s littermates up to? Are their parents keeping in better contact than I am?

I have been beyond tired. So thankful to have my little babies here to keep me company when I don’t even think I can make it off the couch. They are just precious, precious, precious. Of course I get up to feed them (and Rick too.) They never let me forget about that! I can’t believe they are going to be 6 months old this week. Shaggy is still my boy but now Shelby often curls up with me or sits in my computer chair alone. Rick is a bit unhappy about this turn of events but I keep telling him that they will settle again when they get a little older. 

Shaggy did give me a scare one day when he ran out the door as Rick was putting boxes in the truck for me to take to the recycling place. I screamed and Rick dropped the boxes to grab him. Shaggy was so surprised that the stone was so cold that he stopped in one place and I got there first and brought him back in. He only made it about two steps out the door but I almost had a heart attack! Fortunately there haven’t been any incidents since then. Shelby is still Ms. Adventuresome. She gets into anything she can. They both have taken to running into the closet anytime they can and climbing up on the hangers! I’ll have to get it on video.

Here is a recent picture of the kids. They are in their cat tree by the window. Both were looking for once! They love to look out there and see the birds in the tree on the left or watch deer go by in the woods on the right (this picture was at night though) on January 19th. Shaggy is on top and Shelby is in “the tissue box” as we like to call it. I’ll send you a few more of my favorites.

Take care,
Susan

Hi Jennifer, 

Just wanted to let you know that our 2 babies are doing fine. There was no problem with either one. You would have thought they lived here all their life. They are the sweetest things. They sit on my chest every night and watch TV and then they have to sleep all snuggled up in my bed , warm as toast. I am so happy with them. You are a wonderful breeder and raise your kittens to be a delight . I have not sent Xoie papers in because I am thinking of breeding her. When I make up my mind , I will send the papers back with the money for breeding rights. We will have to make a trip over the mountains to breed her but it will be fun to see you again. Merry Christmas and thank you so much for these 2 wonderful bundles of joy. I have pictures but I am having trouble down loading them. Will send them in a day or 2.

Happy Holidays, Love, Ginny

Hi Jennifer, 

Magic is doing just GREAT. He is even getting along very well with his new sister Snow already. He went to the vet yesterday and got a checkup, which he passed with flying colors! I think right now he's napping, but he'll be up soon I'm sure to continue to play in his new cat trees or get another bite to eat. We'll be sending you some pics soon of Magic with his new sister Snow. And NO PROBLEM, we can surely wash up and return your pillow case by mail. We'll get that out to you right away. Thank you for lending us the pillow case. He laid on that during his ride home and for the first couple of days that he was here. I'm sure that helped to ease his stress.

Thanks again for a VERY Handsome Mr. Magic. He's a real pleasure to have around. Talk to you soon.

Jen,

Cameo is by far the sweetest, friendliest, loving, pet we could ever ask for. He loves to be held on his back, then he likes to lay back and look and the world upside down. We love him. He must get his sweetness from his sweet, beautiful Mother. Take care.....can't wait to get another from U. (Think I'm only allowed 1 more!)
Honestly, if I'd found U sooner.....I'd ONLY have your Devon's for my pets....like having a dog, cat, baby, and a money all rolled into one beautiful (non-shedding) pet. : )

We have a full sized screen door....it's his favorite place to people/pet watch. He greets everyone like a dog. : ) Hope u like the latest pic of handsome Cameo. As u can see no need to worry if he's eating well....lol His coat is so soft and getting wavy. PLEASE let me know if u will be getting any white odd eyed or blue eyed little ones. Take care. Thanks for the best pet we could ask for!!! Regards to your husband.

Hi Jen:
Our girl, Ellie, escaped from my yard a few weeks ago (scaled 6 foot walls) and had a bit of an adventure. So now she only goes out with a harness and leash. Attached is a picture of her enjoying the patio table.

You have to click on the attachment to see it screen size. I don't know why they are oversized when I send them by email.

Hi Jennifer,
Just wanted to thank you for Scooter, now called Mr Jones, the office manager. He is very much into the computer, and loves reading the Wall Street Journal. He has a lovely 3 story condo with a view of the golf course and all the alluring birds that fly by. When he is not at “work” he enjoys ping pong in the bathtub and his cat dancer. He is also the life of the party and not afraid to entertain us with his songs or his acrobatic talents. 

Mr Jones is a wonderful addition to our family, and we know it is because of the love he had from you in his early months. Enjoy the photo! I tried to include more but the server rejected the email.

Best

Hi Jen,

Hope all is well. You never said if you like his new name Cameo? I hope u do....his color makes him blend into everything...we look for him, but he's always right near us blending into the walls or carpet. He's really becoming a big boy. We bought a new cat tree & we also nailed on a play tree to the top, it has lots of toys and textures to play with, cause this little guy is VERY playful and we want him to be able to have fun and get lots of exercise.
Talk to u soon....Darlene : )

Hi Jennifer,

How is everything there? I wanted to let you know Fiona....we renamed her Bootsie. We always call her our "Little Bootsie" and since she knew that more than Fiona we changed her name. Bootsie was my mom who passed at a young age from Breast Cancer. Bootsie the kitty is so beautiful. I adore her. Her waves are really coming in now. She has the loviest and best personality. She is really a spectaular looking cat. She also kept her green eyes...she would win any show ring. Keep me posted on what is going on on your neck of the woods.

Hi Jennifer,

Just wanted to give you an update on your little Boston girl. She's doing very well these days. Her cherry eye has been taken care of and we've scheduled her spaying for 2 weeks (so she'll be over 5 months). We weighed her a week ago and she was 4.5 pounds. She really enjoys playing and spends hours fetching her favorite "Love" bear. We've added many more toys but she seems to favor her original stuffed animals that you sent with her. Her disposition is great and we really couldn't ask for a better kitty. She spends her nights curled up next to us in bed. She's eating fine and our Vet says she's very healthy. We'll continue to update you and forward pictures as she gets older.
Regards,
Alicia, Mike & Tegan

Hi Jennifer: I'm doing good and ready for my surgery tomorrow. I have every confidence in my doctors that everything will be just fine.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gesture to want to share your cat with us during my recovery. Howard and I are unable to have or care for a cat at this time, but your offer means more than you can imagine. Please know that opening your home and your heart, & sharing your cats with us is truly a blessing!!

I look forward to a speedy recovery, seeing all the growing up kitten pictures on your web site, and the opportunity to visit you again.
Take care my friend...

Dear Jennifer, Thank you again for the beautiful baby Devon Rex that my Mom named Snowy> The picture above was taken on Christmas Eve. My Parents are so enjoying Snowy's company. He is really very special. My Mother sends her thanks. Her English is not very good, but I told her to let me know if she has any questions about her new kitten. I hope you had a wonderful Holiday and a Happy New Year. Snowy is the most special kitten ever, thank you again so very much for this special little Devon boy. Sincerely Zinnia Piotrawski. daughter she bought the kitten for her Mom for Christmas New owners in the picture Sun and Yong Cho

Hi Jen,
We absolutely love our little Devons. Cali and Licorice are the sweetest little girls. They didn't care for each other at first but now there are best buddies. If they aren't in the same room together, they're looking for each other. They eat together, they play together, they sleep together. They love each other and we are in love with them. They have the best personalities and I would recommend that everyone who wants a Devon Rex come to you. They were so well adjusted and took to our home just like they were always there. They are loads of fun to watch and play with. They run, they fetch, they jump high, they do it all! Cali and Licorice bring us so much love and joy. We love them to pieces! Thanks for breeding such wonderful loving cats! Much love to you & Jim.

Dear Jen,
There's nothing nicer than a loving kitty in a loving home. We feel so fortunate that your path crossed ours. Here are a couple pics for now but we'll send more when we can, including some pics of our son looking at the pictures on the computer for the first time. It was priceless!
Thanks again.

Happy Holidays, Jennifer!! 
Rudy is in excellent health, and a real delight to spend time with. He and our dog, Puzzle are best friends and they love to play together. Rudy washes her face for her and then starts their wrestling matches by biting Puzzle in the armpit! Puzzie is very gentle with Rudy and knows he is much smaller than she is. He still loves to suckle on my earlobe and will come and lay on my head every morning before we get out of bed to do so. He is very well loved and very very happy here! Hope all is well for you and yours. The pictures on your website are beautiful, you've helped pair some gorgeous kittens with some happy 
people! 

All the best, 
Heather 

Hi Jen, I just wanted to let you know that ozzy is doing very well. He sleeps with us every night. Funny, if Tracy or I wake up, first thing we do is look to see where Ozzy is sleeping in the bed. Hes a sound sleeper. Sometimes we need to pick him up and move him between the two of us. Does he ever like to run full force throughout the house... look out! He runs so fast that he does a sliding turn to go the other direction. We have to watch when going outside, he darts for the door and is he ever quick!

Talk to ya soon..... Steve

Hello Jennifer,

For a little cat, Mr. Roy has a huge personality. Loads of energy and 
very social. Quite a flirt! He likes to arch his body and look at people 
upside down while he is being held. He is careful not to use his claws when he
plays with us and surprises us with his balance and dexterity. He jumps
like a kangaroo and looks into our eyes and pats our face like a chimpanzee.
We have never known a cat quite like Roy! He's a really good eater and 
has been a champ with the kitty box. Thank you for keeping in touch with us
Jennifer. He seems to know when you call and will scamper around me with 
a toy in his mouth when I'm on the phone with you!
Sincerely,
Deborah B. McCarthy

Jen

Ozzy is doing great! He sleeps most of the day while we are at work, He climbed up to the highest level of his cat tree last evening, hung upside down to play with the toy attached to the bottom of the highest level, and then took a nap there for half-hour. He has discovered the wands with the string and feather at the ends. He likes to take the wands out of his basket of toys, and carries the wands around the house, dragging the string and feathers behind him! He twitters and purrs when he sees us, and just makes all types of noises while playing. He is very vocal and noisy. He has played fetch with his mouse each day at lunch time. He loves to sleep on our couch, on the four overstuffed black pillows that decorate it. He just made himself at home on the pillow and stretches out for naps, with all four feet in the air and belly up, or curled into a round ball. We do make sure he gets enough rest in between his play times. He is eating well and using the litter box since the first day we brought him home. We feed him wet food three times a day, and leave the dry food out all the time, along with fresh water. We love watching him discover and learn new things every day. He is so much fun to watch. He sleeps in bed with us and has done really good. Thanks so much for giving us the opportunity to have him. He is wonderful.

Pippin in his new home

Dear Mrs. Slotterback,
Thank you again for speaking with me about Pippin. I really appreciated having the benefit of your expertise. I also just wanted to thank you again for giving me such a sweet and loving little kitty. We have plenty of conversations as he loves to talk, and he's my little doggie-kitty. When I come home from work, he peeks out the window and greets me at the door. Everybody who meets him loves him to pieces.

Hi Jen....I got a cute picture of your Ellie (our Tinkerbell because she flits around like a little fairy) - a closeup of her face on Shelley's shoulder. And I would be happy to send pictures to Donna but I need her email address. It didn't come through.I'm so happy to hear bout the coming birth. How excited you must be. Now that Shelley is moving next week to PA she will be taking Devon with her. Poor little cutie-pie will be alone. I would love it if you would keep me in mind for one of your new kittens. That would be perfect for her. 

I would really like one of your kittens because they just have the BEST personalities. You have a wonderful home for them and it shows. I hope you have a black in the litter because that is what I really would LOVE!! Keep me posted and I let you know how she does at the vet's. She goes in on the 16th. Love ya,
Sharon

"Without a doubt, he is the BEST pet I've ever had in my life. If and when Zach and I finally get into a house again, we'll be looking to get him a playmate. They are just darling animals with such an unbelievable personality. He's part of the family. We'd be lost without him. When Zach is at his dad's, Sporty keeps me company and on lazy afternoons, he curls up in my lap and we read (I try to read while he tries to turn the pages). I am sooo glad that we have him."  Love, Holly

Jen, Here's a couple of recent pictures. When they say Devons have a wonderful personality with people AND other pets, they're not kidding. I have to tell you that his very most best friend is actually our little Jack Russell puppy Pogo. They sleep together in our bed every night, play together all day, and even eat together. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH. ~ Suzi Cook

Words cannot describe how greatful I am that I found you as a breeder and my Devon (Kato). Kato and I are attached at the hip. He is so lovable,
handsome, and soft. (the very little shedding helps too) I rub my face in
his belly and he purrs while playing with my hair. Thank you again. When I
get another Devon Rex I will be sure to call you.

Love,

Devi is a regular visitor to my lap, and follows me into whatever
room I go to. She helps me read my book at night when I am in bed,
slamming down the paperback to see what page I am on, and suggesting it would be more fun for me to pet her than read.Without a single complaint she lets me clip her nails and clean her ears. She is still a typical kitten, attacking my feet in the middle of the night as she chases imaginary monsters or typing on all the computer keys as I send e-mail or play games. And she still talks - constantly!! But usually she is just announcing herself as she enters a room or telling me she wants to eat. I promise a picture will come - you won't believe how beautiful she is.  Her fur is really coming in now, and her face is gorgeous with pale yellow eyes. As I told you in the beginning what I really wanted was a lap kitty to love me - and she is becoming exactly that!!!
D. KNOOP 

Hi Jennifer,
We just wanted to give you an update on the love of our lives, Oscar. He is the sweetest little love bug, and we just can't get enough of him. Thankfully, he seems just as happy as we are. He can never decide if he wants to play or cuddle, but we usually make the decision for him since it's next to impossible not to nuzzle his little belly wrinkles! He is a really good little boy. We are so happy to have him in our family, and are so grateful to you for providing us with such a beautiful, playful, lovable little "baby" boy. You and your kitties did a wonderful job raising him so far! We'll definately keep in touch and send you pictures, and we're sure we'll be seeing you again when we're ready to adopt an adult devon a few years down the line. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Oscar is a dream come true! Much Love,
Amy and Noah

Hi Jennifer!

Just a quick update on Tootsie, your Emmie, who is the darling of our household! She is super healthy and plays all the time. What a joy she is to have around....she is always talking to us and answers us every time we say her name.
Thank you for raising such a loving and beautiful animal. 

Happy holidays to you and your family and all the kitties, too!
