Romeo adopted

 His new people fell in love with him on Saturday and took him home. Seemed like a match made in heaven to me. I hope he finds it so. On Sunday I brought Aslan home to have some R & R after I thoroughly vacuumed all Romeo's hair off the carpet. I don't think he has taken any notice of "other cat" smellls. He is just interested in finding the food. He can jump up onto the kitchen benches (unlike Romeo who kept all paws on the ground at all time). So never has my kitchen been so neat and clean.

As he is quite thin (4.2Kg) I will put him on normal rations to see if that diminishes the food drive. 

Today we are up to 41 adoptions for August. Including Mateo who was spotted at the Cat Show by an enthusiastic dad who came at 10am to adopt him. It would have been 43 if the computer had cooperated when I did the paperwork for Phoenix and Sydney. The new owner didn't want to pick them up until tomorrow or Friday when everything in their house will be ready for them anyway. Now the paperwork is mostly done and Sydney just needs his vaccination before he is set to go. So they have an "ADOPTED" sign on their condo. And Tim will sort out what I did to Shelter Buddy tomorrow.

Maple and Benny have moved into Loki and Mieka's condo. The young man kept on coming back.

I just heard a suspicious noise from the kitchen. Aslan was attempting to open the jars of fish food that I used to keep beside the fish tank. They are now in a drawer. I wonder how long it will take him to catch the tiny tetras! 

Aston is in Alladin and Jasmine's stand alone. Not happy.

And Brennan is where Doris was for a nanosecond. He is a typical ginger: noisy and demanding.

This afternoon the "pregnant mum" had one kitten. Black and white. May not be the last one. She was remarkably relaxed about it. Perhaps it is not her first litter. Which means that there may be many more by tomorrow morning.

Another Mateo

 Another Mateo was delivered to Incoming this afternoon. He doesn't look dissimilar to our first Mateo. But has two good eyes.

 I suspect that one of the three (used to be wild) kittens in Incoming is not the same family as the other two. He keeps getting pushed back. And today he looked as though he got half way through a poo and was kicked off the litter box. So I isolated the other two in the bed box and let him have time alone with the litter box. Success! One happy(er) Bartley.

We had a couple of brief visitors who promised to return but otherwise it was a quiet Friday afternoon.

Doris is unsettled in the stand alone. She hadn't eaten her breakfast by the end of the day. She has reserves.

Roxie has the "when will this stop" look of new mums.

Calli has settled down nicely from her move from Isolation to Better Row.

Ginger Megs is back boarding. He looks bored because he is stuck at the dead end of Better Row.
