Adoption Tails: Adele and her litter

 

Adele aka Brandy

Adele

 

1 day: She has been renamed Brandy and she is doing very well. “After coming home she sat on my lap after half an hour”. She is eating well and has used the litter box so it's a successful rehoming. She is not shy at all.

1 week: Brandy has explored the whole house now, as well as the safe veranda outside. She is always supervised on the veranda and follows her owner all day. She is eating well and uses the litterbox. She sneezes sometimes. She is very independent but comes when her owner calls her.

1 month: Brandy is getting a bit friendlier. She really doesn’t like to be touched or picked up but her owner can live with that. Her owner is sure it will take her a bit more time. She is asking for food all day but she currently gets food at 6 am, noon and 6 pm, before taking herself to bed.

1 day: Billie is loving the place! She’s very curious and is such a people person! She particularly loves the wet food and the owners have made her comfortable around the litter tray and water.

1 week: She's doing amazing! Much more comfortable around the entire house and is sleeping, feeding and going to the bathroom well! She's gotten more comfortable around the resident cat too.

1 month: Billie is doing great and the resident cat is much more comfortable around her now.

Britney aka Lia

Britney

 1 day: She is adapting, ate a little yesterday and today but she still hasn't drunk much water or used the litter. She just stays under the bed but little by little, she is letting the owners pet her. They still haven't decided on her name, they're seeing which one she likes the most (between Kya and Lisa).

1 week: She is already well adapted, super affectionate and playful. The only thing is that sometimes she meows very softly and other times, the meow comes out hoarse. The owner has tried to film it but every time she picks up the phone, the meowing stops. The owners have decided to name her Lia.

1 month: Lia has improved a lot, she is more affectionate and playful every day. She is very spoiled too. "Adopting her was the best thing we did, she is making us very happy."

Short time

 I was supposed to drive my husband to his eye doc this morning so only went to Safe to give everybody their breakfast. His doc called in sick and he didn't go after all but will go next week (perhaps).

Several adoptions over the weekend. Opie went home with Ark and his stand alone is occupied by Holly who used to be in Incoming above Tiger who she came in with. She settled down in Incoming very well and sought pats after a couple of weeks. But she doesn't like change and is hiding in a box on the floor of the stand alone behind a sheet.

Donatella and McQueen were adopted! He looks like he had some inkling in this photo that I took on Friday. Donatella will hide for a month! Billy is in their stand alone by the front door.

Maggie's kittens were STARVING, of course. Five minutes after bolting their breakfast they started to bounce off the walls of the play place. The R kittens in the Palace were mesmerized. I was still handing out breakfasts at the time and by the time I found my camera they had all settled down.

Britney was adopted and Billy is all by herself.

 Robyn reported later today the Billy was adopted this afternoon as well!

And in Incoming, Roger is looking much better but is still a messy kitten. (Thanks for the photos Joy)

 Despite there having been no adoptions listed on the website over the weekend, in fact adoptions happened. We had run out of space on the www/cloud/wherever so the website hadn't been updated.

First news:

Rosie and Callie were adopted, together of course. That was a huge shock to Jagger who, when let out for his afternoon run, tried to run into their condo but couldn't because it was being cleaned. He settled on Lyra's condo above Rosie and Callie's. Lyra wasn't too thrilled.

I eventually enticed him out with some treats and got him back (via the top of the condos) to his own place.

Adele is between Lyra and Jagger because the two fluffy tailed kittens who were adopted before they got listed by a vollie have gone home. She wasn't happy in the morning. She wouldn't get out of the carry cage that transported her there to eat her breakfast. So I put a modesty cloth over the big window. Some time later she got up on her shelf to see what was going on. So I took the modesty cloth and the carry cage away.

Her kittens, Billy and Britney, are in the stand alone that loiters beside the filing cabinet.

That means that the only cats in Isolation are Maggie's kittens. Maggie, who is the only one with ringworm traces left, has been moved into Incoming near the wormy cats there. Her kittens went to Olympic Park for the Cat Show over the weekend. They had such a lovely time meeting and greeting the crowds that they no longer want to run out of their enclosure but just want to play and be freindly/fed.

Copper and Citrine were picked up this afternoon by a young couple who looked very happy.

 As was Deleon (deaf Leon) who when home with a mother and her adult son who have an outdoor enclosure prepared for him. I was so thrilled to expedite their adoption that I forgot to print the contract. Katie will email it to them for them to sign. There is no way he will come back as they are bespotted already.

Best news last: Opie has been adopted. He will be picked up on Sunday. By our Ark! And will be best friends with Pearl.

Opie . . . he is winking!
