Mr. Coffee’s Cup of Tea

In early February, Virginia Stevenson brought home a ten-month-old cat named Coffee from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, and the two experienced an immediate connection. Coffee, since renamed Mr. Coffee, also became fast friends with Virginia’s resident rescue cat and has wasted no time making himself right at home.

“I cannot imagine my home without him,” Virginia says. “He is the perfect companion and playmate for my other cat, Martha, who is a one-eyed rescue I got from Bideawee in New York City. Mr. Coffee is sweet, playful and affectionate, and acts as if he has been with us forever.”

In fact, Virginia tells us it took “about one minute” for Mr. Coffee and Martha to become friends, and that “they have been thick as thieves since the first day.”

When he isn’t playing with Martha, Mr. Coffee has already picked out his favorite places in Virginia’s home for taking catnaps and exploring.

“One of his favorite sleeping places is the bathroom sink,” Virginia says. “He also loves the climbing tree, the window sill, the back of my chair, my computer and the bathtub.”

We’re thrilled to hear that Mr. Coffee found a home where he feels so comfortable.

“He is a treasure,” Virginia says.  “I thank you all for bringing us together.”

Nothing brightens my day more than to read about a beautiful, sweet animal's adoption by a wonderful person, Ms. Stevenson. My heart dies a little with each horror story of animal abuse and so it is vital to remind myself of all the loving, caring, beautiful people who adopt and give such wonderful homes to their cats & dogs. Thank you, Ms. Stevenson, for adopting, caring for and loving Mr. Coffee who is such a gorgeous cat. The sweet photo of you and Mr. Coffee - so comfortable and adoring of each other - says it all! Happiness all around.

Thank you SO much. He really is a a precious thing. I have had many cats in my life and ALL have been rescues.

He is certainly a handsome cat and your both look so happy.! It is so wonderful you found each other and that Martha approves. Have a happy life together!

Wendy we are! And thanks!

Certainly a handsome boy, it is so nice he has a friend God Bless

Thank you!

Nothing warms my heart more than success stories, especially pertaining to animals. I advocate for kitties & so many times we get attached, try as we might not to, then lose them! I have five rescues myself & would probably have more if I could foster my husband out somewhere. *wink*

Ha1 My Dad once threatened to leave if my Mom kept a found dog. We all looked at him and said "Bye!"

That is very funny! I bet he won't say that again out loud.

Congrats to you, Martha and Mr. Coffee. Many happy years of love and licking!

He is a snuggler, and purrs so loudly sometimes it wakes me up but I don't care.

Thank you for taking in Mr. Coffee. He is so cute. We rescued our cat (7 lbs). She plays with our other rescued Min-Pin mix whom we just rescued about 7 months ago....thank you to all rescue parents!!!

Yay for you! Rescues are the best... whether it's a cat, dog, horse...

Thank you for taking Mr Coffee and making him feel so welcomed and loved. Animals do need our love and people like you, Virginia

Martha and I are the lucky ones!

I've never met a 'Mr Coffee' I didn't like. How precious!

He is a bundle of personality- and so playful. He doesn't make coffee tho, he just spills it and then walks thru it!

I wish more people would open up their hearts and homes to this kind of love! Thank you Virginia

I know. But there are many, MANY more people doing this than ever before.

This is wonderful to hear. Being thick as thieves they must provide much amusement.

Yes, they are dear friends now!

I can relate ;). My name is Martha, I rescued a young tabby cat who'd been dropped off at a ferry terminal ticket booth (named him Mr. Ticket!), and my mom's cousin worked at Bideawee in the 1940s. Best wishes to you and your happy cats!

Oh what a wonderful story! I love the name Mr. Ticket. Thank goodness for associations such as Bideawee and ASPCA. Your mom's cousin was a pioneer!

Much happiness and long life to Virgina, Coffee and Martha. I am especially fond of rescued kitties for they seem to appreciate and know they are special loves.........

I agree with you completely!

I love Mr. Coffee!

Awww thank you! I do too! (And so does Martha)

what a fortunate chap Mr. Coffee is...but ...as the saying goes....nothing happens by accident...Ms. S was meant to have Mr. Coffee in her warm loving home.....look at his face....it says it all....how grateful and happy he is to be there!!! DRB

DRB you are so right. He's a doll and I am so lucky to have found him.

Thank you Martha for opening your heart and home to such a handsome fellow as Mr. Coffee. He appears to be a brown tabby, my favorite among all cats. I have eight rescue cats, a rescue dog and foster moms and kittens in the spring. I cannot imagine not helping these beautiful animals. When we find these special additions to our family it's meant to be. God Bless you!!!

Congratulations Coffee!

I been involved with animals since a child. Horses and dogs. Rescuing after realizing breeding even limited animals superior quality does not guarantee them love or care. Donated money in places i lived. At 68 years of age i am convinced unless the law is changed, there is not enough money on this earth to rescue and save animals from cruel fate. I would like to propose that by changing the state laws for licensing each animal owner and creating laws that enforces neutering or the owner is fined after a dog is one year old will do much more to reduce the the number of unwanted dogs and cats in any state. My heart breaks when i get the fliers in my mail and hearing about the thousands of innocent creatures put to death just because some owners are ignorant and not responsible. This is an epidemic that is very disturbing and sad to any decent human being. Somehow people must be made accountable for their deeds. I suggest lobbying for different laws in the state of Alabama. Nothing else will reduce the mass murder of our companion animals. Sincerely, Eva Walters

Mr. Coffee is adorable. You both are giving each other the love and special bond that is inseparable. God Bless!!
