Adoption Tails: Ginger, Violet, Ziggy: 2 gingers and a lamington and a Zac

 Ginger

 1 day: He slept under the couch, came out this morning with a little hello and to see who was there and where he is. He had a little rub and a look around. He has been in the litter tray and is currently eating breakfast. He ate every bit of his wet food but not the dry food so she will leave it out for him to eat later. He also ate his dinner yesterday. He has been hiding but she is hopeful that he will come out again soon. He is such a beautiful boy.

Ginger, 1 week
1 week: He is very comfortable on the lounge. He is a very loving cat and wants to sit on your lap or touch you. He has an amazing appetite and wants to eat all the time which can be challenging. She’s trying to break his habit of jumping on the bench when she’s preparing his food and it’s going well. When she comes home or enters a room he will run and hide but he will come out, especially if she sits down. He’s a clean boy and likes to play with toys. He has been renamed Gerry.

Ginger 1 month
1 month: Gerry has really settled in. He loves to play with toys, hiding and then running out to surprise his owner. He is being given good food and eats, drinks and plays well. He is getting his next flea and worming next week. “He is a loving and wonderful companion.1.5 months: Gerry is very inquisitive and loves getting into cupboards. They’re working with his vet to get his diarrhoea issue fixed.

Violet

1 day: She’s eating well at the moment but is not very keen on the water yet. She hasn’t used the litter tray yet but they’re giving her some space so she can go when she’s ready. She’s loving her owner’s pats. They think she’s settling in well so far and she’s such a sweet girl.

1 week: She’s doing quite well! She’s been renamed Lami (short for Lamington). She started using her litter on her second night home and has been using it well since. She’s been eating and drinking well and has started to explore outside of her safe room! She’s cautious about exploring but that is to be expected. She has her own routine that she follows. “We’re so proud of her for doing so well so far”

1 month: Lami has been doing really well. She is very curious and likes to explore the house. She’s definitely more comfortable now and has claimed the cat tree as her personal space. They’re so happy and blessed to have Lami as part of their family. “She has brought us so much joy and is an absolute sweetie”.  

Ziggy

1 day: Ziggy has been renamed Cheeto. He is doing very well. He has used the litter tray for poo and pee and has been eating and drinking well. He has received so many cuddles and is quite the affectionate kitten. They have not yet let him meet their dog, that might be in a few days time.

4 days: Cheeto didn’t seem to be shy or afraid at all. He is sociable and loves to cuddle. He jumps onto their laps and shoulders and tries to fit into the gap of their arm and side when they sit on the side of the bathtub. He purrs constantly too. He is currently left alone for the working and school hours of the day. He is happy and purring when they spend time together in the morning, afternoon and evening.

1.5 weeks: Everyone spends time with him everyday, some more than others. He is getting to know them and feels comforted by their presence. Sometimes he isn’t as affectionate so his owner thinks it’s a sign that he’s realising they will return regardless of his affection. Most of the time he is very cuddly. They may introduce him to another room this weekend so he gets a feel for the house but he will remain in his safe space. They may also introduce him to their dog, Vera, in the next week but under supervision only.
1 month: They have made great progress. Cheeto is now out of the bathroom and roaming the house freely. He and their dog Vera are getting along and Cheeto uses his litter box albeit on occasion only. He is a funny little one.

Zac, renamed Alfie

1 week: Alfie is still very nervous but is slowly responding to gentle attention.1 month: Alfie is settling in well now - he jumped onto her lap tonight, a "first " but he is still jumpy with other people.
