Only one adoption this afternoon. As it was Mum, Dad, Son and son's mate (who looks after their cats when they are away) . . . it took a while. They had two female cats. One has recently died of old age (18yo: much the same as the Son) so they came to find a companion for her.
When I arrived on the scene they were lusting after Tank. Too energetic, says I. Much better to have an adult to go with the 15 year old. So they moved on to Shadow and Ash. After lots of pats and discussion they chose Ash who has made amazing progress from a hissy, scardey cat when he first arrived a month or so ago into an attention seeking sook. Shadow took two years to make the same transition!
It seems that Ash was very friendly when he was a colony cat. He just didn't like being put into a condo. He should be just fine, given time, in his new home. Seeing him walk around, he has a small body and a big head which is either a sign of exceptional intelligence or a result of having been desexed as an adult who didn't get enough food when he was a teenager.
After they left, we invited Turbo and Hiccup to step out of their condo. They declined, again.

And Pikachu likes being in Mickey's condo. She seems much more confident today.

And Emma's eye socket must feel less painful. She is back to her cuddlebug self.

We moved Willow back to where she used to be on Better Row. It wasn't easy. She escaped out of her condo while being "boxed" and hid under the stand alone. She was gently persuaded to walk into her own cat carrier with the broom handle.
Which reminds me. I bought a new broom for the Welfare area. Not before time!
