Iso family

 I looked up Egyptian names a couple of weeks ago and wrote them on a plastic sheet to blue tack to the wall beside their stand alone. Nobody has moved it. Or changed the names. So, perhaps they have been accepted (or nobody has noticed.) But I will introduce the Iso family who came in with a couple of moslem dressed women who had been looking after them somewhere in the western suburbs. The women were lovely and the cats have turned out to be lovely too. 

The mum is Aziza. You have to feed her in a carrier on top of their stand alone because the kittens were vomiting after scoffing her crunchies. She happily climbs onto your shoulders after meals to get back to her family. Here she is with Adom (ginger male) and Aki (tabby: I couldn't pick the sex a fortnight ago).

Adom, Aki, Aziza

The other tabby is ticked. His/her name is Anat. And he/she wouldn't stand still for a photo.

The calico is Ava.

Lilli has one chunky kitten. Perhaps his/her name should be Larze.

Zoe has moved to Welfare. She is newly desexed. And not only did they cut her tummy. . . they cracked one of her whiskers!

More adoptions

 A busy weekend. Not only was Mia adopted but her next door neighbour Harry was adopted too. And so was Felicity the kitten.

 And Teddy and GiGi have been adopted by our Natalie.

Lola is doing well. She is in a small condo and has a huge plastic cone on. But seems to be happy to be home. (The pain killers probably help). There is a fund raising effort on Facebook to try to recoup the price of her operation.

Cordelia was sent to the vet to be desexed. And they discovered that she is pregnant. So she is back in her condo, enjoying the pregnancy rations and looking as slim as she was last week.

She came in at the same time as Zoe did. Zoe is younger.

 We had a new kitten for a short while. Choco was whisked off to be fostered.

And Mateo is back in a hard collar for another week. He bumped his wound in the soft collar . . . . probably when racing around like a mad thing. He had a turn in the play place where he can't get up to full speed.

Aziza's kittens (in Isolation) are very interested in eating her food. Unfortunately the crunchies make them vomit. So we separate Aziza in a carrier to eat her crunchies with a side of wet food while the littles have just the wet food. They love it.

Fun with the bins today included magots! Somebody filled the Willoughby bin in the basement and it was left there yesterday because two others were taken out to the pavement (including the cracked one that I had left upside down in the basement to NOT be filled).

That cracked bin will be collected by Willoughby council within the next three working days. It is on the sidewalk. . . . upside down.

Moving Mia

 There was a note on the desk on Wednesday to say that Mia was going to be adopted and picked up on Thursday or Friday. 

When I arrived on Friday afternoon, Mia was still in her enclosure. And nobody came to finalize the adoption. 

But they came on Saturday and Terry did the adoption. To these lovely people from Narrabean.


I asked if she was hard to get into the carrier and Terry replied: 

They brought a big soft carrier and when it was time to put her in it, I gave her a few treats and then Mia let me pick her up without any fuss and put her through the top. One of the easiest I have done. Mia must have thought ’now it’s my turn to get a home.’ So lovely for her.

 Have a wonderful life Mia.
