Year 2014 in review (part 1)

a few numbers before we get started:
   this is post 1380
   mom transported 16 dogs this year
   foster: 3 momma cats and 19 kittens

wow....

January came with a kitten in (Cumin) and two kittens being adopted (Milano and Chex who were returned and this was their second adoptions). And mom's brother's family adopted Scooby Doo (yep - he is a kitten):

And mom was involved with Ontario Bloodhound Rescue in saving Summer and Blu


February had a couple of adoptions: Cumin and Amelia (aka the Dust Bunny)

Our grandparents adopted a woofie they call Izzo and mom rescued a feral named Katniss
   oh - and Mo decided he didn't like Al Roker:

March gave us some adoption updates - which we love


April was a wild ride. Licorice got adopted!!!  Jade and Mica arrived....with four kittens coming the next day...and everyone needed a name. This group ended up being our geology kittens: mom Jade, with Mica, Ash, Pearl, Amber, and Coral.

Saffron was adopted (once mom finally got her on Petfinder). And we got some bad news about Maestro.


May is a month we would almost like to forget. While the geology kittens turned a month old and we added Cinco the household as a foster, we lost the old man of our family. Maestro crossed Rainbow Bridge due to cancer.

we love and miss you sweet mancat

June had poor Jade acting as a surrogate mom to...more kittens. We added three more kittens to the geology family: Jet, Topaz and Quartz.  The older kittens turned 2 months old. We celebrated International Box Day. And mom took a vacation with the kid to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah.

We hope you will turn in tomorrow for part 2.

Random Fridays.....

We gotted an award from our friend Star at Celestial Kitties.....

Heaven knows we love us a good box....

Tim is happy on or in a good box

 

Basil and Saffron LOVED this box

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember us telling you about the family of Sphynx cats that came into the rescue this summer?  Well, the kittens were adopted pretty quick but the mom and dad cats (King Tut and Cleopatra) took a little longer. But....they were adopted together a couple of weeks ago. YAY!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom plans to let Cumin out again this weekend and hopefully he will be a little braver and not hide under the sofa. Mom asked the rescue to help find him a friend (since Saffron thinks he is the spawn of satan and growls at him every time she sees him)....but it is a weird time of year for kittens so no luck. Maybe something will come in over the weekend, but if not, we will figure it out.

Update on our new cousin Scooby Doo - he had his first v-e-t- visit and did very well. And the v-e-t thinks he is actually 15 weeks old (which makes a LOT more sense).

It is supposed to be a little warmer here this weekend - not enough for window wiffin'....and rain. blahhhhh  Mom says she hopes it is a quiet weekend and she can just relax.

Thanks for the good wishes for Licorice - we hope her forever family shows up soon. :)
