We have good news!!!!

Sigourney was adopted and went home on Tuesday!!! Mom checked her email on Monday morning and there were TWO applications for our girl. Sig's new mom is a single lady with adult kids who recently lost her husband. Mom talked to her for a while on Monday and we know this will be a great fit. We hope Sig brings her lots of joy and comfort. (the second application was approved as well and we hope that lady decides to take another of the cats from that location)

This weekend is supposed to be chilly with possible snow, but mom hopes to get Chanel out to a new store we haven't been to before.

Otherwise mom says it is a weekend of laundry, the evil dyson and basketball.

weekend report

Daiquiri saw what you did there.

It was a pretty quiet weekend here. Mom was supposed to go to Tennessee but our grandma called on Thursday and said she thought she had a stomach bug. Mom cancelled the pet sitter but decided to still keep her Monday off from work (so she is home today). Then grandma called on Friday and said that her physical therapist told her she more likely had vertigo from the metal device in her neck...he tweaked something and TADA she was cured. Oh well....

Sigourney went to a partner store on Saturday. Another volunteer drove her out and got her set up. Miss Sarah said Sig was great on the drive and walked right into the cage at Petsmart. Hopefully she will get adopted quickly. Miss Sarah promised to give her a good write up and Sig is online. The only concern mom has is that the Petsmart stores had glass front windows on the cages. While this is a nice protection, it does keep people from interacting with the cats as much. We will keep you posted.

In the mean time, it is WAY cold and still winter here. Probably no kittens any time soon. But stay tuned...you never know.

Well, it is about that time (OK - probably past time, but whatever). Sigourney isn't going to get adopted hanging around our living room - though she is posted online. She is off today back to the rescue and then will go to one of the partner stores. She is going to one that does a pretty brisk adoption rate, so hopefully her family will find her quickly. Good luck tiny girl - it has been a pleasure.

Mom posted on Cats Going Places about getting a stroller for Chanel.

She hasn't made any final decisions, but is leaning toward getting one. It would just be so much easier since some princess has decided she won't walk but likes to jump out of the cart.

Our friend Summer posted yesterday about clicker training for cats. Mom got an app for her phone that she would like to start using with Chanel. However, bring out treats and all of us show up. She is trying to figure out a quiet place to work with Chanel without too many distractions. (cause heaven knows that kitten is distracted enough all on her own)

Stay warm people - it is actually supposed to be a little bit nicer here this weekend. Mom was supposed to go to Tennessee to visit family, but our grandma has the stomach bugs so mom is staying home.

Miss Connie asked WHAT the update on Ivy's ear was from the vet. Well....it looked good. She wants mom to keep using the meds once per week and then we will get her rechecked in another month or so. That said, mom checked Ivy's ear the other day and it is all crusty again. Sigh....  Cause the princess is such a great patient.

Mom has been doing some serious worrying about our feral girl Allie. With the weather being so cold, she worries about every animal left outside of course. Allie has been sticking around the garage more in this weather with the cold and the snow. She is now around 8 years old though she certainly looks pretty healthy. Mom is making sure to put warm water in her bowl every morning and plenty of food out. If mom catches her right in the area, she will put canned out too but doesn't want to leave it to just freeze. She even has a few different beds set up in different places. Allie must be getting a little used to mom as the past couple of morning she didn't even leave her bed when mom got in the car to leave for work.

in warmer weather

Mom has been thinking about maybe trying to trap her, get her vaccines updated, get her retested and microchipped. However, the other day the garage door wasn't cooperating (mom leaves it up about 6 inches to let Allie come and go). It went up, then down, then up, then down....Allie finally freaked out and RAN!! So now mom worries that trapping her and bringing her inside would just freak her out that much more. It is tough to love a feral knowing that so many things can happen to her that are outside of our control.

If you are anywhere near central Ohio tonight, be sure to stop in to the Amazing Cat Show III at 400 West Rich St. There will be some very cool art on sale along with other things, all supporting Colony Cats and TNR efforts in Franklinton. Mom will be there upstairs along with adoptable cats.

And now.....for the moment you have all been waiting for......how much does Sigourney weigh??

According to the official vet records, she weighs 6 pounds, 8 ounces and is about 3 years old (mom REALLY doubts the age part though).

Our winner - closest without going over - is: Amanda P 

Sigourney

Miss Sigourney goes to be spayed today. Mom thought it might be fun to run a quick contest. We have said all along that she is tiny, but just how tiny IS she?? Leave your guess in the comments and the person closest to Sig's weight without going over will win a little prize from us. Include your best guess at her age too in case we get duplicate guesses. We will take guesses through midnight on Wednesday and announce the winner on Thursday.
