fun and games

First an update: Persimmon is doing great and they kept her name. She is doing great and her pre-teen human loves her very much.

Wren and Puffin got some freedom this weekend. Mom wanted to see how they did outside the foster room and it went pretty well. 



We had a fairly uneventful weekend. We were hoping it would be open eindow weather but it was just too humid. But hopefully starting this week we will have cooler weather. 

Nothing too exciting here other than standard kitten shenanigans. Have a great week!

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.

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.

Almost that time

 All 3 girls get spayed this week. 

The pepper girls go back to the shelter on Thursday and will get adopted from there. Cubanelle is super adorable and friendly. Scotch Bonnet is so cute and come so far. She is doing really well with mom ... not 100% but pretty close. That said a friend came over last Friday and Scotch hissed at her. So we will give the shelter all that information. 

Scotch Bonnet

Cubanelle 

Persimmon gets spayed on Wednesday and will likely go to a rescue partner store next weekend. Mom still needs to do her write up. She is lovey but has rightfully earned her nickname of the gremlin. Fun fact - she taught herself to play fetch. Her new friend the purple mouse may have to go with her.

Wild and crazy

 All 3 kittens are scheduled for spay surgery next week. 

Scotch Bonnet and Cubanelle are doing well. Cubanelle is super friendly and purry. Scotch is still a little skittish though much better than when she got here. Still no purring when she is being help but there were a couple big sighs on Sunday which is a good sign. 



Persimmon continues to be an adorable menace. Mom is working on her bio for the website. Definitely no little kids and should have cat experience. As mom has said about Boba: not a good starter cat. 

Persimmon is cute and lovey but has no boundaries and no is not in her vocabulary. 

We hope you have a good week. The hots are back here so we plan to resume sleeping on the floor vents.

Kitten report

 The pepper girls went in for a check up on Tuesday. Got their first vaccines and will be spayed in the next 3 weeks. Cubanelle is bigger than her sister and still friendlier. Scotch Bonnet is much less hissy but still shy.

The foster room got a good cleaning and the girls got an upgrade. They seem to be enjoying having more space. 



That means Persimmon is out and loose in the house. She is a bit of a gremlin and has zero idea what the word no means. 


We had a couple of open window days this past week but that is probably over until fall for now. So we are find comfy spots and enjoying the cold air inside.
