Updates (really)

 We got a few updated pictures recently....

The kittens formerly known as Selkie and Gargolye from the Mythical Kittens (now Jovie and Buddy). As you can see they are very helpful.

We also got an update on Langford from the Spartan Kittens now known as Quintin. He is doing well and his mom and dad are actually looking for a new companion for him. Nobody from here as they want someone closer to his age and size.

Our last update is from kittens we had back in 2014. We get an update once a year or so from their mom. They were the orange kittens here and now Ike and Izzie. Ike was diagnosed with HCM which is a heart disease. He has an electrocardiogram each year and this year they got the news that he is getting worse and they increased his meds. He could go down hill quickly or they may have more time with him - there just isn't a good way to know how he is going to do moving forward. So please spare his mom and fuzzy sister some purrs. 

Kitten report

Everyone is doing well. Momma Ree is fairly young. She tends to like the kittens then not like the kittens. Ha. The kittens are bright and active and growing. So not sure if they are bitey or mom is already done being a mom. Don't tell her she has a while.

Mom got to see the Spartan boys on Saturday. They are all growing like mad and their families day they are doing great.

Kittens are weird

The boys were all neutered today. Thankfully one of our local mobile clinics has sufficient equipment to do some surgeries. For a rescue this is a huge deal.

No Langford pictures because.....he got adopted. A nice young couple wanted an,outgoing kitten and he was a good fit. They report he took a couple hours to adjust and them acted like he had been there the entire time.

OUT

Well that might have been a mistake.

Mom let the boys out of the foster room for a while the last few days. Ivy is pretending nothing is going on. Daiquiri is growling at them if they get too close. Chanel and Goldfish are treating them like new fun cat toys.

The boys are having fun running up and down the steps and the hallway.

They are all over 2 pounds but surgery dates are up in the air. Once that happens we know they will get adopted quickly as we've had lots of people looking for kittens.

Wand toy fun

The kittens are all doing well. Tillman is just over 2 pounds with Winston and Langford around 2.4 pounds. The struggle right now for rescues is not having access to spay/neuter clinics so they will be here a little while.

Mom broke out the wand toy and Langford was a fan. It took Winston and Tillman a little bit to get into it but once they did, it was game on.

Family time

It's been interesting have mom home fore over a week now. Lucky for us she's pretty quiet....except the occasional HBO words. MOL

We've been just doing our normal thing, though mom caught us sleeping in close quarters yesterday.

The boys are doing well. Mom got Tillman to purr the other day though she still has to grab him to love on him. In the meantime they are playing and being boys.

(Sorry...bad video from the web cam)

A new to them toy

Mom broke out a few new toys for the kitten boys. The felt circle was apparently scary....but only at first.

Then Langford decided it was HIS

Guess what we got

Well, the time has come....the foster room has new residents....kitten season is here.

These three boys came in to the rescue on Saturday after being found dumped in a trailer park. No idea where mom might be any more. That for us is always very sad.

They are a little concerned about being handled and mom being in the room. But mom got a purr out of the gray one on Sunday morning so we bet they are begging for attention in no time.

As you know if you follow us, mom loves a good naming theme. She is also a big fan of Michigan State University. With all the scary Covid-19 stuff going on, basketball was cancelled for the end of the season. In honor of that, she decided to name these boys after Spartans.

 

Winston

After Cassius Winston the MSU point guard

 

Tillman

After Xavier Tillman Sr the outstanding guard

 

Langford

After Joshua Langford. He was a senior this

year and a captain though he wasn't able to 

play due to an ongoing injury. 

These boys are about 7 weeks old - Tillman's eyes are just a little blue around the edges. Probably here for a couple of weeks. Although if the local spay/neuter clinic closes under orders from the governor, it could be longer than that....
