Adoption Tails: Schmoo, Benny, Sesame, Agnetha and Bjorn

Schmoo = Nefertiti

 1 day: She is going great. She has been renamed Nefertiti, or Nefi for short. She’s eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, and sleeping well. When her owner checks on her in the safe room, she comes over for pets and rolls onto her back for belly rubs.
1 week: Nefi is going well and has been exploring. She loves her food and playing with her toys. It’s getting hard to keep her in the safe room as she wants to get out but their resident cat is not quite ready to meet her yet. Her owner will try site swapping for short periods of time. Otherwise, she is settling in wonderfully.

1 week

1 month: Nefi is going well. She is much more confident now, runs around like crazy and is more willing for cuddles. Their resident cat isn’t sure about Nefi’s enthusiasm but is getting used to her. “Nefi is such a beautiful little one and we love having her in our family.”

 Benny = Mango

1 day: He’s doing great! Very much settled in, and is eating, drinking and pooping. He does long meows at night but they usually pet him to console him and then he stops. 

1 week: Benny has been renamed Mango. He’s been great and started exploring outside of his safe room on the second day. He’s very inquisitive and friendly. He settled in immediately, cuddles up to his owners when he’s sleepy, plays well, poops every day and is always after their food when they’re eating. He no longer meows during the night. “We can't believe our luck, he's been absolutely adorable and lovable!”

Benny/Mango 1 week

Sesame

1 day: She is eating, drinking and using the litter tray. “She’s settling in very well! She’s perfect.”

Sesame 1 day

1 week: She is doing well! She has explored the whole apartment now. She is comfortable being out in the lounge room and has made the place her own. Her appetite has improved massively and she is now eating very well. 

1 month: She’s doing great. She’s fully at home now and has a good eating schedule. She’s super playful, independent, and sleeps fine. “We’re a happy family”

Sesame 1 month

Agnetha = Maggie Mae and Bjorn = Freddie

1 day: Everything is going well. They both seem as happy and playful as when they were at SAFE and are finding their way around their room. They are both eating, drinking and using the litter tray.

Bjorn: day 1

Agnetha: day 1

1 week: They’re doing brilliantly! Agnetha is now Maggie Mae and Bjorn is now Freddie (Mercury). They’re currently both gobbling down their meals super quickly. They are happy, active and growing. Their owner has been occasionally opening the door to let them explore outside of their safe room. Freddie is braver than Maggie who meows every time Freddie disappears. Their owner says they are hilarious and they clumsily prance around each other. 

1 month: Both are doing well. Maggie is getting increasingly confident.

Freddy and Maggie Mae: 1 month

 

Frantic Friday

 One result is this:

The remaining three ABBA kittens were adopted today. Agnetha and Bjorn went to an enthusiastic teenager and her parents first. They were torn between them and Pumpkin and Midnight but Bjorn had called to the daughter over the www. 

Later a family came to find a kitten to replace their dark tortie who died not so long ago. Amber looked too much like their previous cat and they wanted somebody to go with their 8 year old boy cat. So they chose Freda who was looking very sorry for herself with her siblings gone.

Alongside these adoptions there was a superfluity of vollies and trainees, folk coming with donations of such generosity that they deserved a conducted tour around all the cats, folk coming to pick up their boarding cats who were more, or less, eager to go home. Tilly/ Daphne didn't really want to go but she will be back. Fosterers came in with kittens to be vaccinated including the fosterer of Sushi and her litter. Sushi is in the small stand alone. She is very sweet and a little shy.

Her remaining two kittens are in the stand alone beside the trolley.

Pork Bun

Lots of cats got to wander around enjoying the visitors. Max got time in the play place (as all boarders who paid for time have had it.) He is happy to be carried there by Katie.

I didn't get to eat my lunch until 3 - 3:30. At which time I decided that it was too late to hand out the chicken. But Rosanna was so horrified at the idea that the cats would go without their Friday chicken that she offered to stay late to share it out. And Katie wanted some for the Incoming cats too. I got away just as Tim came back from the vets with Coco (check up), Cleo (desex) and somebody else. Opey was let out in the hope that Tim will get him back into his stand alone when he came back from the vets. As I left Opey's expression dared me to walk past him.

Opey is all bluff
