Adoption Tails: Pete, Maeve, Samson, Delilah, Poppy

  Pete (aka Alfie)

2 weeks: “He is the most wonderful cat. He is confident and is happy to move around the house at his leisure.” He has been renamed Alfie. “He is loved and cared for.”

1 month: “He is the best cat in the world”.

 

Maeve

1 day: She is doing great! She has used her litter tray and she is eating and drinking. She was hiding at first but is exploring a lot now. They will be renaming her but haven’t settled on a name yet. “We are very much besotted with her”

Maeve, 1 week

1 week: She is doing great! She has explored the house a bit and has been playing with her owners too and loving cuddles! She is still mostly staying near her hiding hole and venturing out at night but definitely getting more confident. Her new name is Luna!

1 month: “She’s doing amazing! And she’s managed to win over our other cat too!”

Maeve, aka Luna, 1 month

Samson, now Jeremy

1 day: He seems fine. Very shy and quiet at the moment but all looks normal. He has toileted and eaten but then vomited (which the owner suspects is part of settling in). Now called Jeremy.

1 week: Everything seems OK. However, Jeremy is pooping everywhere but the litter tray and seems to like the sink and shower.

1 month: Jeremy is well settled in and using his litter box!

Delilah, now Cassie

1 day: She's doing great! Settling in well and she loves cuddles and pats. No problems at all with eating/drinking or using the litterbox. The family has renamed her Cassie.

Delilah = Cassie

 1 week: Cassie's great! She's exploring the house this morning. Very curious kitty.

 1 month: Cassie's great! She's well adjusted and loves to play! She's very cheeky and funny, loves to run around, sleep on the bed of the owners' desk chairs.

Poppy, now Coco

1 day: Poppy was picked up from foster and has been staying in the spare bedroom. The owner bought her a donut bed but she is hiding under the vanity. Eating very well and is gradually getting used to the owner but still quite timid. In the afternoon, Poppy has popped her head out to have a good look around.

1 week: Poppy is coming out of her shell. She is eating well and the owner has been about to pick her up and cuddle her as of yesterday. Previously, Poppy was only allowing pats with lots of purring.

1 month: Poppy is now renamed to Coco, the owner's previous cat was called Poppy. Coco is doing really well.

 

New bins

 Tim has organised a new rubbish collection for a twice weekly pick up of the garbage: 2 bins for this. And one bin for cardboard waste. Hurrah. Except that the bins didn't arrive as promised yesterday, or today. Perhaps tomorrow!

We comforted ourselves by adopting cats.

A couple arrived at 5 to 11 to adopt Delilah who was in a foster home in Hornsby. She arrived at 5 past 11. 

Then a lady arrived to look for a cat to replace her older cat who recently died. She had picked out Libby, Ginger George and Max from the web page. She met them all but didn't click until she met Maeve who was delighted to meet somebody who was prepared to give her all the attention that she wants.

At that stage another couple (mother and daughter) arrived looking for a pair of cats. I showed them the usual suspects and they fell under the spell of Tibby and Tabby. The mum said that her daughter really needed somebody to love. Perfect! And the mum is a doctor. Perfecter! And they live in a small apartment with no stairs. Perfectest! Done deal.

Then my friend Liz arrived to get a pair of cats. She wanted somebody that she could pick up.

Ginger George likes to be picked up

But who to pair him with? After introducing her to Vivienne and Calvin, the job was done. Her grandson will be delighted. As will her husband. (Thanks for the photos Robyn).

Calvin and Vivienne

Calvin and Vivienne's stand alone was cleaned for Hank and Princess. The sign says that you can get to the litter tray through the door on the side of the stand alone. Princess just came back from the vet.

 And Chia and kittens moved into Tibby and Tabby's condo.

Meanwhile the lady who loved Maeve, moved on to Maisy and fell deeper in love with her. She will be back on Saturday to adopt her. So much for wanting an older cat! It was mutual and irresistible.

Maisy

Meanwhile, in Incoming, I asked if the stand alone by the door had been cleaned this morning. Katie and Tim assured me that it was and that one of the torties there loves to play with water and flip the wet litter all over the place. What a grub. Her sisters are not impressed.
