Random Fridays

Recognize that face??? Yep...that's Acorn.

She was adopted about 2 weeks ago. And on day 14, the lady brought her back. Seems her daughter got her a kitten, but then her son bought her a new puppy (for $700!!) so the kitten was being returned. Oh - and she wanted her adoption fee back. That didn't happen.....

However, the next evening a very nice family with 2 teenagers came in and fell in love with this cute fuzzy face (wouldn't you??). The daughter is actually thinking about starting her in training to become a therapy cat. So it was all for the best..... The new family has an adult cat and a dog (mom said she would LOVE to be a fly on a wall for that meeting....miss diva isn't going to be really happy about a d-o-g)

Lyon will head back to the adoption center tomorrow. He will be the littlest kitten available right now, so he should go pretty quickly. Fortunately he is also pretty friendly and that helps too.

Avignon?? Well, mom tried to drop her off yesterday to be spayed and that didn't happen since the first clinic "claims" they didn't know about the hernia that mom told them about. The head of the rescue said take her to another clinic. Mom headed off there....yes, the girl has a big bump on the same back leg. No hernia they could find....just....another abscess. We don't get it. Anyhow, no surgery and she is back to being tortured cleaned up on a regular basis.

We know what you are thinking....but what about that tortie kitten???  Well.....she has an application submitted on her and will be here for a little bit longer until she can get to her new mom.

Mom dropped the laptop off yesterday so hopefully we will be back on track next week.

kittens gone wild

Mom isn't sure if it was the weather being nice this weekend or what, but everyone here had a case of the crazies. The kittens had a HUGE dose of them.....

Calais is trying to figure out what Acorn thinks she is doing

the chase is on

apparently Daiquiri needed some ninja protection

pretty sure this is Lyon

(he is a little bigger than Avignon and his eyes haven't quite cleared up - 

but certainly need to consider collars for them both)

love that you can see Acorn's faint stripes

no, they aren't supposed to be on the books

guarding the ladder

Acorn is doing pretty well with the little ones. She can be a little rough with them but does back off. On the other hand, the little ones are a little bit over dramatic, so that doesn't help. Daiquiri of course thinks they are all fascinating and loves to chase them around the condo. Thankfully she is very gentle with the little ones (Acorn is another story, but she can take it).

wordless Wednesday

(don't you wish you could sleep that soundly)

so this happened

Or more to the point, didn't happen:

The vet at the spay/neuter clinic got a better look at Acorn's eye after mom dropped her off. The vet was concerned about the "vascular nature" of her eye and said to use a different drop for a few days and delay surgery.

So after spending the day at the clinic, she came back here Friday afternoon and will be around for a little while. Mom is hoping to get everything cleared up and get her spayed before Christmas so she has a good chance of going home.


The little kittens have been spending some time outside their room. Two of them have figured out how to get over the gate, so mom just moved it and they get time out to run around and are then put back for a time as well.

Plus there was that football game late Saturday night that kept mom up until midnight. At least those green guys won.
