It has been A week

 First, summer has arrived and the windows are officially closed. We get it but as always spring seems too short.

The cheeses are doing ok. There have been some intestinal issues and it's making mom more than a little nuts. Vet visits and medicine and food restrictions. Everyone seems mostly on the upswing. Feta is still struggling a little but everyone is eating. Baths have been given though mom admits the foster room is a disaster zone. 

Brie is sure none of this is her fault 

Also a week ago the rescue got a call about kittens found under a deck. It's slightly more complicated than that, but bottom line was we picked up two tiny crusty kittens. 

Unfortunately the tuxedo that we named Pomegranate crashed on Friday morning. Mom rushed him to the ER vet. He rallied a little but mom got the call early Saturday that he was declining. She went and held him while they let him go. Between being so tiny with fleas and a very nasty infection, he just didn't have enough resources to fight.

His sister Persimmon is doing good though. Still tiny and needs to put on some weight. Her eyes are cloudy and may end up being that way. But she's had a bath and loves food and has a typical torbie attitude. 



We hope you are all doing well. Stay cool abd stay hydrated.

Are we sure it's spring

 Mother Nature can't seem to decide. Last week we had to turn on the air conditioning and this weekend it's 25 degrees cooler. 

Buttons is figuring out the cat tree by the window. The sliding door is still her favorite spot but isn't always available. Mom is letting Buttons figure it out at her own pace s that she understands how to get up and down.


The cheese kittens are doing well. Mostly. Vet visit scheduled for Wednesday since they do seem to be having some tummy issues and mom has tried all her tricks.


And this is Reisling one of the wine kittens from the same house (different mom). He's deaf and certainly sleeps like it.


Mom got plants for the balcony and fortunately got everything planted before we got several days of rain.

Getting closer

 The kittens got their second set of vaccines and now we just need to get them big enough for spay and neuter. The girls are tentatively pre-adopted so that's exciting.

Mom does constantly have to remind them they aren't supposed to be on the desk. So far she's only mildly successful but at least they haven't sent any weird messages on teams to mom's co-workers. 

Every one here is doing fairly well. Had a few open windows which is nice.


And mom is gearing up to plant the boxes on the balcony.
