Almost October

 Not that you can tell by the weather. Mom has to close the windows in the afternoon and the air conditioner is still on. Really in the 80s? We want fall!!

Anyhow....

Columbus went back to the shelter on Friday. Mom can't tell if she got adopted quickly or just isn't on the website yet. Hopefully she finds her family quickly. 

We know lots of rescues and shelters are struggling for adoptions. Not ensure but mom suspects economic stuff. If you are able, your local rescue could use any help you can give. Even just sharing adoption or donation requests.

Marisol went home on Saturday. And the family also decided at the event to adopt another slightly older kitten named Thin Mint. They did 7 adoptions on Saturday which helps ease some pressure. 

And just in time since the rescue took in 4 spicy kittens. Their mom was spayed and is back with her colony since she is feral. The kittens are about 6 weeks old and while not sure about people right now (they came in on Friday) they should socialize pretty quickly. We took 2 and Miss Heather took the other 2. Right now they hiss at mom but are totally fascinated by the other cats in the house so that helps. They are named after Indian spices. Meet Rai (mustard seed) with the mostly black face, and his brother Jira (cumin seed).

Off to the store

 Cortada, Latte and Gelato went this morning to the partner store for the rescue. Hopefully their forever families will find them quickly. 

Mom found this cute cat ghost house from the local Aldi. Its been a hit.

Columbus came back from the rescue for a week. Right now it's her, along with Mocha and Marisol from the rescue. We suspect things will probably start slowing down as fall breaks out here. 

Adoptions have been a little slow so cross your paws for the rescue and shelter. The more adoptions, the more people we can help in the future. 

Fun and games

 First, adoptions: Cincinnati, Zanesville and Pinwheel have all been adopted.

Gelato is currently in baby jail. She came down with a virus and will be in there until she's better. She will be more tha happy to tell you her life is terrible and she wants out.

To help our friend Miss Heather, 3 of her foster kittens are here. They are on break from the store and should go back next weekend. There were 7 total named sterling coffee drinks. Cortada (brown/white tabby) Mocha (brown tabby) and Latte (tuxedo) are with us. 

Mocha actually has very mild CH as well.

Marisol has been allowed some freedom time out of the crate and is having a good time running around. Thankfully she has stopped growling and hissing at the permanent residents. 

Also mom bought a cute ghost house from Aldi. 

Welcome

 It may not be spring but we still have kittens.

Gelato has a virus so she's shut back in the foster room. She is NOT happy about it either. 

That does mean we have an open spot so there is a new single kitten in the living room crate.

She very cute and sweet. Just need to get her on the spay schedule. 

Adoptions are pretty slow though so the rescue has to limit intakes to make sure they aren't overloaded. 

So cross your paws for adoptions.

Meet Gelato

 We got a text on Friday asking if we would be willing to foster a single kitten. She had been found by another rescue volunteer and needs fostered until she can be spayed. 

Meet Gelato: gray and white, female, 3 1/2 months old (give or take)

She found a corner and slept most of Friday.

She's very curious and people friendly. 

Since she's by herself, mom took her on Saturday to be tested for FIV/FeLV. Both negative so she was free to be loose in the house.

Mom helped the rescue on Sunday at a festival booth.

Monday was a holiday so Gelato got her freedom. As normal, the residents take a little bit to adjust to new kittens, but she was very respectful. 

She will get on the surgery schedule to be spayed and then she's ready for adoption.
