Dr Suess Day

Can't tell by looking
These cats are extra special
And need no extra care
FIV+ cats need homes and love too

 

Rex

he is about 2 years old - and check out those front feet

Stanley is the new guy

he is super sweet

 

Kevin Kyle

he is about 4 years old and very insistent on getting attention

Since Colony Cats opened it's FIV+ room for cats last fall, there have been 5 adoptions!! To encourage people to adopt, their adoption fee is $25 - such a deal. Fortunately more and more people are realizing that FIV is not a death sentence and these cats (unless they are aggressive toward other cats) can live with negative cats.

For more facts, check out this article on FIV in cats from Best Friends and an article on Catster.com from our friend JaneA Kelley of Paws and Effects.

Or, as mom says:

prepare for the apocalypse:

Yes - Emma....the brat kitten....the fungus amung us.....

HAS BEEN SPAYED!!!

(and declared fungus free)
All 5 months and 3 pounds of her

Now, we let everyone know she really is available to be adopted and find her a home of her own!!!

So, once again, mom missed it....Spay Day was Tuesday and she posted early (darned work) and realized later. But....you guys all know how we feel about that. DO IT EARLY AND OFTEN!!!  (snicker)  Oh, and if you haven't read the post from Tails from the Foster Kittens, you need to...

What is that sound?

It sounds like a hound.

Or maybe a foghorn....

Do the neighbors complain??

(be sure to click on the link - it will CRACK YOU UP!! Both dogs are available for adoption from OBR)

We gotted a comment earlier in the week from The cat on my head kitties asked about our successes in adoptions. We got lucky with the boys last weekend - it was a HUGE adoption event sponsored by Petsmart Charities and there was lots of ads on tv and the like. Honestly though, mom goes to Petco once per month for events and normally NOTHING happens. Most of the adoptions from that store are just people walking by the windows and seeing the kitties. This store has the adoption cages right next to the front windows, so everyone can see the kitties as they walk by. Wish we had some wonderful advice, but really.....we aren't that good. :)

Cats with snot

Are not so hot

But thanks to the test

That's ALL he has got.

(we here are Random Felines take NO responsibility for the bad rhyme - mom thinks she is funny)

Well, the v-e-t called last night with Caramel's test results. Which were....not what we expected. He has the typical URI - nothing spectacular jumped out at the vet. So, he will stay on the drug he is currently on for another 14 days and hopefully that will fix it. He has been on it for 7 days now and we don't notice any difference, but maybe that is just us.....

And now, for some video:

Sleeping on the bed

And then, not so much
