As many of you know, several of my kittens are named after some of
my closest friends and that is the case with this little sweetheart.
She has been named: "Cozy Kittens Courtesy of Caroline".
Carolyn and Tom, I want you both to know what your presence in my life means to me.
You entered my world in pain and suffering as you lost your beloved Boodle.
(May she rest in peace) The depth of your pain cut through those phone lines and
straight to my own heart that day you both called me.
Your pain was real and apparent in every word you spoke through your crackling voices,
yet you reached out to help me.
And not in just one way, but several, and in ways that I could never
have achieved on my own.
Both of you went to work in separate ways, both goals you set out to achieve were
ones I could have only dreamed may someday come true.
Neither of you had any reason behind it, nothing to gain for yourselves, just being
yourselves and giving of yourselves.
When I tried to repay you with free kittens, you both said NO!
You would not hear of it.
You would not even accept a reduced price.
I am amazed beyond words and although I know the kittens I place in your care
will always be a constant reminder of my love and appreciation to you both,
I know I will never be able to repay the generosity you have so kindly offered
to me in more ways than you will ever know.
You both have taught me lessons no words can convey.
You have showed me the way to handle difficult problems in my life and how to
deal with them in a silent way that will prevail every single time.
As I look at "Sweet Baby Carolyn" and know that her name represents
giving and kindness, generosity, patience and the ultimate gift of true friendship,
I will see to it her presence in my cattery reflects your giving ways to our
Cozy Customers with the endless gift of true sharing, friendship and caring.
Each year, one baby from Sweet Carolyn will be GIVEN away to one lucky family,
keeping the chain of love and generosity alive and strong within our cattery, in
my friend Carolyn's name.
As you have given me the ultimate gift of love & friendship, I will now release that
into the world for others to have, hold and enjoy immensely, all in your name
and all because of you two.
Carolyn and Tom and Cozy web viewers around the world,
please help me in welcoming
"Cozy Kittens Courtesy of Caroline"

Letter of recommendation from Carolyn & Tom
When we lost our beloved persian, Kitten Caboodle, in January, we were devastated. To us, 'Boodle was no ordinary feline; she was a furperson, she was our child. And she left a huge hole in our hearts and our home.
We then began our search for a new companion. Caboodle was irreplaceable, so we wanted a kitten who would make her own place. Hours were spent on the computer in an effort to find the perfect little girl, but we were discouraged after seeing so many 'mutant' kittens; those with pitiful little mashed faces and noses
that couldn’t possibly breathe. We narrowed the search to "Texas" and "Cat Shows", very specific, and when the results came back we saw "Adorable Doll-Faced Persians", a site that shouldn't have been included because our search was for Texas.
When we brought up the Cozy Kitten Cattery site we saw not only beautiful kittens but the answer to our prayers as well. We called Sue, who spent almost two hours with us. And, when tears were shed, she cried with us. So began our wait - what would our kitten look like, when would she arrive. We had already named her - Lucy Furr - then decided that we really wanted two little girls. The second would be "Jenny Furr." We visited Sue's site daily, watching for new litters, and one day she posted a picture of the most beautiful little red tabby, named Maisie. Only to us, that was our Lucy-Furr - and she was. A month later Sue sent a picture of a brand new little girl and asked "Could this be Jenny?" That little love had been born on our anniversary - of course she was Jenny!
We counted the days until we could bring Lucy home and had the great pleasure of going to Unionville to get her. A month later we returned to bring Jenny home.
We met Sue and Rob and their terrific kids and saw first-hand how our little girls had been raised, with love and kindness and caring. In a perfect world all kittens would start life in that wonderful setting. A friend of Sue's - who is now a friend of ours as well - said, "You'll find that you've never had a cat like a Cozy Kitten!" She was so right; these little girls are loving, outgoing, beautiful and smart and they have healed our hearts.
When we took them to our vet for their booster shots, then entire clinic came to a standstill, because everyone there had to take a turn holding them. Our vet told us that she had never seen such well-socialized kittens, nor had she seen healthier ones. These little loves fill our lives with joy and we still marvel at our great good fortune in finding Sue.
Not only do we have the kittens we dreamed of, in Sue and Rob we have new friends as well. To say that we highly recommend the Cozy Kitten Cattery and the Johnson family is an understatement: we say "Thank God for them."
Carolyn and Tom
