Teddy moved

 He has moved into Will's enclosure because Will was adopted.

Teddy

Not only Will but Dawson as well.

But Dawson is still with us because he is boarding while his new owners organise their lives around his coming. They adopted him on Monday. On Sunday another couple came, saw him, liked him and took home the folder contents to see if he was the right cat for them. Today they noticed that he was no longer available on our web site. Rang and found that he had been adopted from under their noses.

And today, a man came and adopted Choc and Chip. I hope this one sticks. They walked into a large-ish cat carrier with a small bribe in it I had put their bed in it before and quickly covered it over with their blanket when the door was closed. Don't think we checked the microchips this time. But we know they are right from the last time they were adopted.

The young man who fostered Eli came for another visit. He showed me all the photos of Eli playing at home with him. Said he would forward them to Safe. He smears the wet treat all over the plastic pad and Eli spends half an hour licking it off. 

Eli

Moo Moo is happy that Humphrey has been adopted and she has a double condo all to herself.

Moo Moo

Such a stunning looking cat should have a better name.

Sue found a 2024 Safe calendar, cut it up and I stuck the pages on the wall by the front desk. The only cat still with us is Lola who is featured on the small grey picture at the top of the display. She looks better now than back then.

Light on staff

 As soon I arrived I was asked to tell vollies what to do about the rubbish tins. The last month or two has gone on very well without my interventions. But today, half a dozen of the regular vollies were off sick. Luckily, the remaining few did a splendid job and the Couzen bins are on the sidewalk.

Savannah's little adoptee, Sybie, is putting on weight. She guzzled down her extra feeds today. Her weight has gone up to 370gm! Savannah looks exhausted though and somebody is vomiting or doing very sloppy poos in her condo. (Talking of which, Aslan has just squirted a poo in the litterbox beside my desk. Excuse me for a minute. . or two.)

Be entertained by the kittens who were picked up from the street and brought in this afternoon. They have been farmed out to a bottle feeder. (Irene sent me a video but all I got was a jpeg.)

The guy who is fostering Eli came in. He and Eli are getting on famously. And the woman who adopted LeClerc dropped by to report how well he is getting on. He is entertaining the entire family.

And a woman rang to ask how she could meet our cats. She mentioned being interested in Aslan. We shall see.

Then the family returned who were interested in a ginger cat. . . . Griffin when last they came. But he has gone. So they settled on Max. Irene had spoken to their fosterer and been told that while Milo and Max are good mates, they are not necessarily bonded. So she OK'd them to take Max by himself.

Max

Not this Max but the ginger kitten. This Max is much happier not being next to the doorway. . . . even though he doesn't look that cheerful.

Now Milo has been moved to where Faith was and will probably be adopted over the weekend.

 And Rose may be put in a small stand alone on top of where Le Clerc was, but where Luna is now.

New faces in Welfare

 India and China were adopted this afternoon by a young woman who really wanted Spagetti but she had been chosen already. After talking to her sister she decided that they really needed a pair of kittens. They came, they fell in love, they adopted.

And the young man who came on Wednesday looking for a cat to foster, came back this afternoon to take Eli home. So now that whole side of Welfare has new occupants. (Not including the Cody annex).

On the far left is:

Rory upstairs. His eye is well healed.

Rory

Below him (where Pepper used to be) is Brennan.

Brennan

And next door to Rory is Rain. (From Incoming but not pregnant after all).

Rain

And below Rain where Frankie was is Heffer who used to be in a double with Ginger but they really were not bonded so have been separated. (Even after an hour since Heffer left the condo, Ginger was not going to come out of his carrier on the bottom level).

Heffer

Ollie was moved to where India and China were. He was not easy to move. We had to call on Tim! I think he will be happier to have an enclosed space to hide in. . . eventually.

Ollie

Below Ollie where Eli was is Zena, aka Xena who is called Goldie on all her paperwork so we are going to revert to that name because ?. . . . she has no gold. Except for the cloth carrier bag that she came in by cat taxi which is on top of Cody's condo.

Goldie = Zena = Xena

 

Sheridan to the rescue

 Sheridan is a devoted fosterer and deliverer of cats to vets. Today she wrangled Eli into a carry cage so he could go to the vet to have all his teeth removed. Perhaps he knew why he was being put into a carry cage. Perhaps he just doesn't trust people very well. After this vet visit, that mistrust will be fully justified! (But he will love the "soft food only" period).

Bindi is in Griffin's stand alone. She is a sweet cat who probably won't last long. 

Bindi

Griffin was going to be returned today because "he doesn't like being picked up". He was adopted last Wednesday and Sue did tell them that it might take a month of two for him to settle into a new environment. They didn't arrive. Perhaps they reread the adoption folder!

Raya and Ashley have gone to Goulburn to live with Rosanna and a couple of stratchy poles from the lobby.

Sunny and Hilda finished their ringworm meds and were promptly adopted by the folk who live in Mayfield somewhere in western NSW. They came on the weekend.

Puss Puss and Aziza when home over the weekend.  

Cordelia was adopted over the weekend so her stand alone was empty for the morning. Then Mochi and Cupcake were delivered by their fostermum to go into that stand alone. We had already had calls about adopting Mochi!

Cordelia's kittens have been desexed and will be ready to adopt soonish. An older woman came in this afternoon for a kitten and eventually settled on one of them but couldn't decide which one. But they are not available yet. I showed her how to check out Adoption page on our website.

Angelica was off her food today. Which reminded me of her story. It seems a woman picked her up from a hoarder's house and decided to take her home, by car, to Queensland. On the way she let the kitten out of the car to do a wee and thought "this is not a good idea". Somehow she got onto us and dropped off Angelica. The kitten wouldn't touch Mother and Baby cat soft food initially. She would only eat crunchies. Today she wouldn't touch M& BC of any texture but happily ate any other brand of food I gave her.
