Weekend news

 Sapphire and Peridot were adopted together!! Love that.

Pinwheel is now down at the partner store sharing space with Malachite. 

The Ohio girls are doing well. Still a little hand shy but not terrible. Mom's been connecting the smaller playpen to the crate which gives them more room to run around. Only under supervision but its a little more space.

And with 3 kittens from the rescue temporarily in the foster room on meds for a cold, we are full up.

Hopefully they are feeling better soon and adoptions for the rescue pick back up. August is usually slow with vacations and back to school. 

Hope all of you are doing well and sending purrs to those that need them. 

Let's see...

 The gem stone kittens were back here for a weekbreak from the store and went back on Saturday. Hopefully they get adopted quickly. They are really great kittens but have hit the long leggy teenager stage. 

The crate in the living room has 3 littler girls from the shelter. They were on meds but now just need to grow and get used to people. They were mildly hissy when we got them and being medicated for a week didn't make them like mom much. Next couple of weeks will hopefully just be fun.

Pinwheel is still here waiting for adoption or a spot at the store. She just loose in the house and hanging out. 

Sunday mom took a road trip to help the rescue pick up a pallet of canned kitten food. Mom's not sure how it works but there's a group that coordinates and offers it to rescues at a steep discount. 

It is pretty hot while loading so mom was drinking a lot of water on the way home.

Hope all of you are well. Keep cool and safe.

News and new kittens

 Amethyst got adopted!! Momma took her to the big adoption event at Petsmart on Saturday. A family that had previously adopted came by not really looking but fell in love with her. Nothing yet on the kittens but paws crossed.

We are babysitting Pinwheel for a few days for another foster. She has 3 days of meds left for a cold but is otherwise adoptable. Miss H took on some hissy kittens and this cleared up at least a little space. She will be loose during the day but probably crated at night to give everyone else a break. 

Plus these guys...

They are from the rescue and on meds for some chronic ongoing snotty issues. Two of them like mom, the other isn't convinced yet. They are Arthur (the orange), Calliou and Clifford (yeah yeah the orange should be Clifford...the rescue names kittens before we get them so its not our fault haha). 

And Buttons has decided she likes videos posted by Miz Robyn on Love and Hisses.

Late update

 Mom was actually gone this weekend. 

Let's see:

Dora and Blue went back to the shelter on Friday for surgery and adoption. Dora was adopted over the weekend and hopefully Blue will get picked quickly. 

Honda was also adopted last week so that's good news too.

Amethyst is now at the rescue's partner store location. We haven't gotten any news on applications but we have our paws crossed.

The gems kittens went for surgery yesterday so they are now officially available for adoption as well.

Over the weekend mom traveled to Kentucky to visit a friend and help her at a vendor table at a cat show. Her friend is an author and had some of her books for sale. While mom is always going to say rescue first, it was interesting to see some of the breeds. These are Maine Coon KITTENS being shown. 

If you are friends with mom, you may figure out where she was staying. Ham didn't want anything to do with mom but Ravioli was friendly. 

Long weekend

 For those of us in the US it was a long weekend. Mom ran around some on Friday and had dinner with friends. The rest of the weekend was spent inside cause geez it is still hot here.

The gem kittens are feeling better and have surgery scheduled for the 14th. Amethyst was already spayed but there is no space at the partner store so she's still here.

Dora and Blue go back to the shelter on Thursday to be spayed then they will be ready for adoption too. They have been out during the day for the last week and have been fairly well behaved while mom has been working. 

Otherwise it is all good here. We hope you are all doing well.

Yikes

 Well the gems have kitty colds. Oh the snot we have here. Amethyst thankfully didn't catch it so she was spayed on Thursday. The kittens are on meds and will be fixed in a couple of weeks. 

Malachite is the least snotty. They got a new fuzzy bed and he has claimed it. 

Honda went back to the shelter  and was adopted. As often happens this time of year, mom came back with more kittens. Dora and Blue (both girls) were on meds but also not big enough for surgery.

They are pretty sweet and go back in a about 10 days.

Adoption news: Panzanella was adopted last week by a family 2 kids and a dog. He's chill enough we hope it's a smooth transition. 

Also, a volunteer took Ambrosia home from the store for a break and quickly decided to adopt her. They do have other cats but also enough space that she can get some quiet time. 

We think Amethyst will go to the partner store this week. She has been out in the house briefly a few times and has been generally unbothered. Chanel got in her face once and got a hiss but Amethyst chose to leave it at that and walk away. 

Otherwise it is miserably hot here and mom refuses to leave the house unless she has to for some reason. Be safe friends!

Busy busy

 Waldorf and Panzanella went to the rescue adoption event on Saturday. Waldorf had an approved application and went home. Panzanella is staying at the store hoping someone will see him and fall in love.

Honda appears to be snot free and goes back to the shelter on Monday. She is super sweet and playful so hopefully she gets adopted quickly. 

Amethyst and her kittens go on Thursday for spay/neuter surgeries so they will be available after that. 

Oops - missed a week

 Let's see....

Honda went back to the shelter on the 6th and they put her on a new medical for her cold. Mom was out of town so Hinda spent the weekend there and is now back with us for a couple of weeks.

Mom also brought a "fancy" crate for the living room (which is where Honda is staying).

Momma cat and kittens in the foster room have names. Mom is Amethyst. Kittens are Malachite (male gray tabby), Peridot (male gray white tabby with the tail light) and Sapphire (female gray and white tabby). They are all doing really well. 

Also (welcome chaos) the 3 remaining salad kittens needed a break from Petsmart. Also mom had set up an adoption event with a local candle and bookstore so that worked out. Caprese was adopted and the other kittens there got lots of great attention. One is on hold and hopefully we get a couple more applications. They will likely go back to the store later this week.

A friend of the shop owner brought in the hat above. Some of us at the rescue are hoping we can get her to make more gor us to buy. 

Adoptions and news

 Ambrosia and the kittens all were spayed or neutered on Thursday. Saturday they went to the local partner store and are now there for adoption. In fact, Cobb was adopted on Saturday by a couple with another kitten already at home. Caesar was adopted on Sunday by a retired couple with an adult cat. Hopefully additional adoptions will happen soon.

____________

We can't remember if we told you about Honda. She's a single kitten from the shelter who needed meds for a cold. She's in a crate in the living room (no mixing kittens). She little and cute. Mom gave her some freedom on Sunday and she had a good time. She is already spayed and scheduled to go back to the shelter June 9.

_____________

Of course it is a kitten season,  so the foster room was full again quickly. Well have a young momma and 3 kittens: 3 boys and 1 girl. No names yet but we think there is a theme. Just have to double check the master list for repeats. Mom is super friendly.

The kittens are a little shy. The one in the back not looking at the camera is the girl. They are eating well but need a brush out. Mom thinks they are about 5 weeks old so depending on how fast they grow, they will be here about a month. 

10 weeks old

Time flies. The salads kittens and Ambrosia go on Thursday for their spay/neuter surgeries. Then there is an adoption event on Saturday and if there is space they will stay at the partner store to be adopted. 

Also on Friday mom picked up Honda from the shelter. She's in a crate in the living room separate from the salad kittens. She has a cold so will be here for a couple of weeks.

It doesn't quite feel like May here yet in the Midwest but it's warm enough we can have the windows open. And today is Memorial Day so mom has the day off.
