long weekend

In unfair news, our air conditioning started acting funny Thursday. That night was pretty miserable and Friday was hot and sticky. Luckily a technician was able to come out and repair it so the cold air was back. But we would all very much like fall to hurry up to it's cooler and we get more open window time.

In good news, Stormy was adopted last week and Persimmon was adopted on Sunday. She went home with a young girl as her new person. 

Ikea is now at the partner store and was yelling complaints at the store clerks as mom left. Haha! We suspect she will be adopted in no time. 

Wren and Puffin graduated out of the playpen and now have access to the entire foster room. They are both super friendly and playful and gaining weight.

newbies

 Persimmon is doing great at the store and has had some adoption interest so hopefully she goes home soon. 

Ikea is doing well and should go to a partner store this weekend.  


Thursday night mom got a call from the rescue about 2 kittens on a construction site. Mom is very feral and will be spayed. But she moved the kittens to an unsafe spot and their eyes were pretty crusty, so to be safe the rescue picked them up. They are friendly which was surprising and needed to be supplemented with KMR but also sort of eating on their own. After just a few days of meds they look so much better. Meet Puffin (female tabby and white) and Wren (female torbie).

Change over

 First - good news: Cubanelle and Scotch Bonnet were both adopted.  Cubanelle on the Saturday afternoon they went back, Scotch a couple days later. 

Persimmon is now at a partner store and looking for her forever home. Hopefully that happens quickly. Mom has talked to the rescue and she does had a couple of restrictions for applications like no littke kids and not a good first time cat.

Stormy goes back to the shelter for neuter surgery then available for adoption on Thursday. He ha been funny to watch come out of his shell. 

And of course never a dull moment as the rescue took a call Saturday night from a local animal hospital. A nice pair of ladies had been picking up furniture from Ikea and saw a kitten fall out from under the truck parked next to them. She went back under the truck when they tried to catch her but eventually was fished out of the engine compartment. The driver of the truck said the kitten wasnt his so the ladies took her. 

She's probably about 9 weeks old. Very clean and people friendly so who knows how she got under the truck and went for a ride. She does have a limp and the rescue will need to get that checked out as well as get her spayed and all the necessary other things.

She was pretty screamy the first night in the foster room. Mom can't really sleep through that and also worries about the neighbors. So, knowing any potential risk, the kitten was released into the house on Sunday. At least it's mostly quieter. 

So meet Ikea and wish her well.
