Lola looses lockup

Her stand alone is now occupied by Mystic (who is a girl. No wonder her name was changed from Grey Guy!) Lola now is officially the occupier of Opie's room, now renamed Lola's room. And Charley did a fabulous tidy up of it today. Let's try to keep it that way. . . . . for Lola's sake. She may have potential adopters visiting her there.

Mystic

Little One has moved from Incoming to below Mickey and has had a reversal of personality. I thought she was a girl. Turns out he is a boy. And a really soppy, smoochy boy to boot! Joy discovered his change in personality when she took photos of him.

Little One

The only visitors we had today were repeats from Sunday. They are looking to replace a cat who lived with them for a while and who had a special love (mutual) for the small daughter. They rather liked Cuddlepie (her) and her neighbour Dylan (her dad). But today, Little One may have won them both over. They will return.

Jenni, Domino and Harry have moved between Prue and Trude and Mia. They don't seem to be very happy with the change.

And Ollie and Billy are getting used to being with us.

Adoption Tails: Domino

 

1 day: So far, Domino seems happy in the owners' room, played after an hour he arrived home then ate and had water. He did not use the litter yet but weed on a towel so they put the towel near the litter for now. They decided to keep his name as he is called by that name already and because they already found his nicknames, "Mino" and "Mimi". Domino is loving his bed because it is nice and dark but he moved during the night to come near the owners to sleep in their bed! He proceeded to play with their feet from 5am this morning. The owners are really happy to see him settling in so fast. They bought a tower and some toys for playful Domino. He loves scratching his tower. So far Domino seems really happy and settled.

1 week: Domino is doing really well. He is now exploring the house with confidence. He's had no more toileting incidents other than one time on his first day. Since then, he is using the litter well. The owner feels like Domino has been home forever!

 1 month: Domino had grown and he is really happy and a crazy playful kitten! He gallops and jumps everywhere. The owners find it very nice to see him enjoying his new life with them. The house is now his and he is their little baby. Mino still sleeps with them because he wants to (and the owners enjoy it too).

Foster Fail again

 Three kittens and their mother were put up for adoption this week. When an adopter came to the foster home to choose one, the fosterer was in tears about loosing one of her three babies. Then they couldn't decide which kitten to keep so decided to keep both. . .  plus the mum. It cost her almost a thousand dollars! But she was very happy to be able to keep her family together.

Luckily Tim was there to help me through the new adoption system. . . . I will get it, eventually. In the meantime, somebody might come in to adopt Shelly on Sunday. And there is a new black boy in Incoming from Helen's work colony.

Deigo and Dora/Delores enjoyed a run around in the play place after it was thoroughly cleaned after the coffee shop kittens were there for 2 nights and 1 day.

Vollie Leon was worried that Domino had a sore throat. But I think he just has a deep, sexy purr.

Skeley has been moved to the condo next to Domino. Her eyes are very round and black. I hope Domino's purrs will calm her down as well as the cool vibes coming from Princess and Precious.

Sammy and Cyber have had a couple of nights out, again. The food bags have been attacked, again. Tim thinks that they rattle the door hard enough so that the bolt comes loose and they can squeeze through. Geoff is working on the problem. In the meantime, I put them and Thumbelina and Bambi in the play place together overnight. It might keep them slim.

I hope Abby gets adopted this weekend.

[Thanks Joy for the extra photos. I didn't think to get my camera out this afternoon.]

No Danger in Dan

 This morning when I arrived Cypher was on top of the main room row of condos. He waited patiently for me to pick him up and put him back into his condo where Sammy sat. I had to remove the litter bin that had been propped against their door to open it. The litter bin was there because on Sunday night they both got out and had a poop party. They tore up multiple bags of crunchies that we had hoped to sell to new owners. Hence the litter bin to keep them in. But it didn't work on Cypher. Somehow???*

Because they have too much energy, I decided that they should go into to the play place to use some of it up. Easy enough. They were both in their doorless carry cage. And I added Thumbelina and Bambi because they are from the same litter and same foster home. Within no time,  Thumbelina was in with the boys.

Soon Cypher was out of the carry cage looking for some fun.

 Sammy happily stayed there to "protect" his sister.

Bambi hid in full view away from everybody else.

I took the opportunity to match their microchip numbers with their photos.

 There is a new ginger boy from a well tamed colony called Danger who is in the condo below Mia in Boarding. Mia has been with us for a week but is still in full savage, unhappy cat mode. Compared to her, "Danger" is a pussy cat. So I suggest that we rub out the -ger and call him Dan.

Dan(ger)

He is next to Cheena (of the middle ear infection) and Bubbles (the shy one). This afternoon they were "sharing" (ie maneuvering for more space each) a small bed.

So Sandy and I decided to give them a bigger bed.

We have a new kitten, Domino from the fosterer who raised Trixie. He also came in a pullover which I promptly pulled off. . . . . kittens need to learn to look after their own fur. He is a purr machine and anybody's best friend, forever.

*There was also an "escape proof device" leaning against Max and Gus' door. It worked to keep them in overnight. But during the afternoon, when the front door and the balcony doors were open, I saw a Gus shaped slink moving from the main room to Naughty row. Gus puts his paw through a hole in the mesh and pushes down the door stop. I must fill in the mesh. Luckily, he is happy enough to go back to Max who doesn't put a paw out of place.
