Settling in

 Robin visited today. It was grand to see her. And she hopes that now that she is just 5 minutes away, we will see her more often. Australis was thrilled to meet her. Her tail almost touches her ears when she is particularly pleased.

The crew had the brilliant idea of moving the stand alones to sweep beneath them.


 And while stand alones were moving, Bree's was rotated by 90degrees so that she backs up to the end of Chalk and Percy's.

 She glowed at the prospect of being able to watch Lola and Pixie. (Or my too smart iPhone changed her colours to what it thought was appropriate!

Bree isn't this tortie!

Rascal is becoming more sociable in her new digs.

 Even, Oreo next door seems more relaxed.

On his other side is Clover, the Ume replacement. She is not a happy cat.

 But Gideon was when we took off his cone so that he could eat and try to walk. (The eating went well for soft food. But the walking is all over the place unless there is a lap to be had.)

Dory spoke

 He greeted his favourite Friday vollie with a kitten sized meow!

And, there is no dirty laundry at Safe Haven! We have finally caught up. (It has taken 5 years!)

Of course, the rubbish is another story with only one Willoughby bin still. But visitors took off several bags, as did I. So the balcony is not too bad. But anything but empty of bags is bad.

Bruce was blue today because his mum was at the vets. He stole Mickeys toy but still missed his mum/pillow.

 Peter, Patch and Phoenix have been moved to Welfare. It is nice to have some tiny tabbies there.

P's
Faith and Flora were desexed. They came back with plastic cones but I changed them to cloth ones which are more comfortable.  They don't seem to get on all that well. But it might just have been the post op!

Chloe who was moved to Welfare some days ago, seems to have developed a mucky eye. She will get the dreaded ointment which is a shame because she has become much friendlier since being moved.

Australis has been moved back to Incoming. Borealis left in Welfare all by herself is now enjoying visitors.

Borealis
In Isolation the four champagne, identical kittens suddenly have a champagne mum! She escaped while they were catching the family but has since been brought in. She seems a calm, sweet cat (who luckily remembered her kittens).

There is another kitten in Isolation called Bonnie. She was adopted from a breeder of British Short Hairs but developed ringworm and giardia. Both of these are infectious to people as well as to animals. So she was surrendered to us with a bag of food and meds and cash! I wasn't going close enough to get a good photo because both of those parasites infect people as well as felines. But she is cute enough to wait for.

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.

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