David is in love

He took these photos of Freya and Anthea and their kittens this morning.

His phone takes much better photos than my camera. 

I got a quick shot of Nutmeg (plus 5) who has been moved into Prue and Trude's  enclosure. I am sure they will have a Callie and Rosie stay rather than a P & T stay!

Nutmeg aka The Milk Bar

One of her kittens, Cinnamon, wasn't interested (this time) and relaxed up the pole.

 Next time we have a tortie kitten without a name, tell Sue. She has a name to give a tortie in memory of our lovely vollie from London.

Mickey got time out (of the stand alone) to run off his excess energy.

Cookie is putting on weight. Today she is 830gm. (Moving on to Joy's photos from last Friday).

Aurora's little kitten is still significantly smaller than the other kitten who has the lesions. 

Aurora's Borealis or Australis

And just to take us from kittendom to the real world, here is Aslan enjoying shade on a warm day in Avalon.

 

Four Tillys

 There were four Tillys at Safe this afternoon. One came in with her brothers from a foster home to get their shots, etc. The two boys (Baxter and bro) were adopted by the fostering family. Their sister Tilly was left behind. She went into the condo opposite to Peaches because Fawney was adopted yesterday. (Her kittens had all gone by Wednesday). That condo is below Tilly the mum who is not yet available because she hasn't forgiven us for the days of her litter.

Neighbour Tillys

 But new Tilly won't be there tomorrow. Irene will take her home and give her back to the foster family. Their neighbors want to adopt her. But are away on holiday. So the fosterers will take her back home until the neighbours get home and can adopt her .. . . . . it get complicated at Safe!

There were lots of other visitors. Milky Way got lots of attention. I will be surprised if he doesn't get adopted tomorrow (by Terry).

Milky Way

And a young girl chose Sebastian after considering all the other possibilities who could go with the previous cat they got from us. The parents were delighted. 

  It seems that Aurora and kittens in Isolation do have ring worm. And Squeek's tail is suspicious. 

Bugger.

 Tis the Season!

 

Tim wins

 In the "Sounds Crook" stakes. And he has been sick for longer than me. Despite that he picked up Callie from the vet this afternoon. ? for a check of her removed teeth? She was really keen for her dinner.

Callie

I introduced myself to Ravioli this afternoon. Irene talked about putting them up for adoption so I decided it was time for him to come out of hiding in a huge, fluffy bed. . . . . I ripped the top off his covering and discovered a very friendly cat under all the polyester fluff. Irene said "That is Billy, the friendly one". 

Billy

I thought the one who sat on the top shelf was Billy because he was so friendly (I overheard that much of the surrender process.) But the ragdoll is Ravioli.

Ravioli (sorry about the bad photos)

They will be on the website and are not expected to last for long. So get your pats in before they ..  . . . . . . 

I installed the Top Cat so vollies could entertain the kittens. Everybody enjoyed themselves.

Until they got put back into their condo and had to watch other kittens cavorting.

In Isolaation, I don't know which kitten is Borealis or Australis. The mum is Aurora. (Which seems a most inapprorpriate name for a spitty mum.)

Aurora on right. Larger kitten on left

 What do think?

 

 

Another Darcy

 Except this one is spelled Darcee. Does this mean that it is a girl? No, according to the database he is a boy. He is also a shaved Ragdoll. 

Darcee

And he also came from Mona Vale Vets just like Augustus did. Evidently Augustus was dumped on their doorstep tick paralysed. He didn't have a microchip so they just guessed at his age. They both could go to foster homes and be immediate foster fails they are so friendly.

Linda brought in Smoochie and her kittens. We are to keep Smoochie who has a similar tummy upset to Jacky. Perhaps they could share a condo and bitch about how having a litter of kittens messes with your guts.

Smoochie

Her three kittens were microchipped and vaccinated and taken home by Linda who already has homes for them. This makes 7 kittens that she has found homes for after fostering them. She also used to foster rabbits and says that bunnies like dark green greens like kale, watercress, bok choy leafy bits, etc. And if they don't poo they need to be given pineapple juice. It seems that if rabbits are not regular they quickly become ex-rabbits.

Shortly after 3 there were two phone calls about Amelia's kittens. I said "first come, first choice". Two parties arrived almost simultaneously. An elderly gent had his heart set on Aurora. She was a gift from the "Computers for Old Folks" group that he has run for years. He is a very experienced cat owner with a 3 bedroom flat full of cat trees and toys. 

The second party was a pair of young women who fancied Kiwi. Tim dealt with them while I did the oldies. And now Amelia has a stand alone all to herself.

Diego is on the to be adopted list. Somebody must have told him to look cool.

Diego

I don't know why Nipper isn't on the list. If I don't pat him when I go to his condo he reaches out for my hand in a gesture that could be mistaken for a swipe but he doesn't mean it that way.

Nipper

And last thing in the day, Tammy shows herself. I suspect she wants a smooch from Tim.
