Adoption Tails: Star Wars kittens

 Leia

Leia

1 week: "She is just the best. We love her so much" She is such a delight and so gorgeous. Fits in so well with the family. 

Princess Leia

1 month: Leia has fit in so well. the family loves her so much, they've upgraded her name to Princess Leia. She has weed and pooed in her litter, eating and drinking well. She is so lovely, currently asleep next to mum on the couch. "We are very lucky, thanks so much to you guys!"

Luke, now Wilson

3 days: He's settling pretty well. Found the litter tray straightaway and has been eating all his food and drinking happily too. Have had no litter tray mishaps so far thankfully! The owners are planning to change his name to Wilson. He's been excellent overnight until just last night when he wanted to sleep in the owner's bedroom with them rather than in his own room. They eventually gave up and let him come cuddle and he was very happy with that. 

Luke now Wilson

1 week: Wilson's settling in wonderfully. The boys are now mostly getting along/tolerating - love chasing each other and then switching over, hanging out on the lounges and sniffing over each other endlessly. 

1 month: Wilson was winking a bit when he first came home with the owners but they did not think anything of it but now his eyes are quite bad. They will be visiting the vet again to find a solution.

5.5 weeks: Wilson had some anti-inflammatory drops that made a big difference so he is all good now. He's adorable and has massively improved the owners' resident cat's quality of life as he now has a companion.

Yoda, now Luna

1 day: She's settling in just fine, she used her litter tray which is amazing. The owners have changed her name to Luna. She didn't eat too much when she first came home but ate everything that was given this morning. 

1 week: She's going great, she's been using her litterbox everyday and eating everyday as well. She's getting along great with everyone and loves to explore the house.

Luna

 1 month: Luna has been great, she's really fit into the family and she seems to have a great time playing with everyone as well as by herself. She's grown a significant amount but she's still kept her kitten like personality.

Chewy now Maisie

2 days: She has been renamed Maisie. She is eating, drinking and using the litter tray with no problems. “She is very affectionate but also likes playing and exploring. Miss Maisie has settled in right at home. We are still separating her from our older male cat until the time is right for a staged introduction.”

Chewy now Maisie

1 week: “It’s going really well. Maisie met Diesel and the staged intro worked. The bond is starting to develop, and now eating together. Maisie loves her food and sleeps through which is great”

 

1.5 weeks: They reached a milestone today- both eating together. “Diesel feels like a giant against Maisie when you pick them up. He is a big scaredy cat with little Miss Maisie”

1 month: “Maisie is growing fast now and very much part of our family. Diesel has also bonded well and playing together. We love Maisie so much and now very much part of our family.”

 

 

Shortest stay at the Safe cattery

 I arrived around noon and Chewy, Joda, Leia and Luke just beat me. They came from a foster home. By 4pm Leia had been adopted! The lady who met her in her foster home decided that she was needed in her home.

They are next door to Lily and Patches who do not like to be able to see their neighbours. New or otherwise.

The kittens got a scratchy pole inserted into their condo when Geoff arrived. So we had to move them into the play place. Inserting a stratchy pole means that the whole enclosure needs to be moved, rescrewed, re curtained, and replaced. I imagine that the kittens will stay in the play place overnight. 

Martin had a turn there and was really happy running around and sitting with/on any visitors. He is a real sweety when out of the stand alone.

But the best news of the day is that Molly was adopted. A young woman came to meet our cats. We spent time saying hello to everybody. I thought that she was just doing a recee but after talking to Irene and getting Molly's background, she called her partner and said "I WANT HER". FIV, no teeth and all. Mind you, Molly behaved beautifully with her so it must have been a match made in heaven.

And late this afternoon Betty gave birth. When I left there were perhaps 5 wee slugs. There may be more by morning. I didn't like to disturb her so she missed out on afternoon tea but I imagine that Geoff gave her a good dinner.
