Seasoning adoptions

Visitors ask why we have so many kittens. "Because spring is when there is lots of game around" I reply which usually stuns the city folk who come to us. But today our seasoning kittens have left the building. Pepper went yesterday and Salt went today with a lovely couple who were sooo pleased. And will change his name.

A trio of women arrived because one of them had adopted a kitten from us some months ago and it is such a successful addition to her family that she talked her friend into getting a pet for the first time ever. YES! She chose Jones. When I spoke to Tim yesterday he said that he would prefer Quincy and Jones to go together. So I told her to check the web site and when they are posted to get back to us. An hour later she rang to say that Jones was available as an "optional" pair so could she come and pick him up? She paid cash! He has gone despite some confusion with the microchip number on his adoption paperwork. It was correct on the official registration form and that is the only one that really counts so, he has gone. And Quincy lingers on.

We have some beautiful, friendly kittens like the F's whose mother is a spitting fiend,

And Bronwen's kittens, Coco, Cola and Pepsi whose paperwork I might just pick up tomorrow form the Avalon Vet if Irene's telephone diplomacy worked.

And our three, nameless kittens across from the front desk should find a home while they are stll small.

Meanwhile, Billy is still Joy's favourite.
