Coneless and happy

 Not only was the Big Kahuna's cone off this afternoon. But the strap around his chest was gone too. He is out of the cone at last. And he is glad. I do wonder how long it will take his whiskers to loose their extra curl.

At the other end of the spectrum of good looks we have PC who desperately needs to go to a foster home.

And Finn, who has boarded with us before. His owner has taken up shaving him. And he is not happy.

Whereas, Robbie is getting happy after the indignity of being moved. (It has taken 3 weeks this move).

Maggie, across the way seems happier too.

And her neighbour Darcy is a delight. What about those whiskers!

Boarders are pouring in. We will overflow to Dr Kim's again this Christmas. And boarders owners are dropping off Xmas gifts along with their cats!

Tabby Adoption Tails: Mia, Finn, Coffee, JJ

 Mia

1 day: Mia is doing quite okay. She settled in after a couple of hours pretty easily. She is doing fine and will be keeping her name. She was exploring her room in a matter of hours, sometimes meowing and requesting attention and pats.

Mia
1 week: The owners have brought into Mia's room a few soft items but she does not seem very interested. They were wondering if they should leave her a light on at night so it is not pitch black and if she gets bored/lonely at night. Mia has not done anything mischievous at night so they think she is probably ok. She has started to explore one other room right next to her safe room and likes to sleep on the couch. Sometimes Mia will run back while exploring outside her room. The owners have noticed that whenever she meows, Mia usually wants treats or to sit on somebody's lap.1 month: Mia has been very sweet. She makes great company and is a huge lap cat.
Mia = lap cat
 

Finn

1 day: Finn is doing amazing, the owner has him in just one room for now. After a few days, she has started to slowly introduce her other cats to Finn and they are actually all doing quite well. Finn is so friendly and kind.

Finn

1 week: Finn is doing very well, currently sitting on the owner's friend's lap. The resident cats have adjusted to Finn's presence where Jiji (the oldest) is beginning to see Finn as a little brother. Jiji is fine with Finn, even playing together if Finn's initiation to play is accepted. Jiji does not hiss nor try to swat him. Anubis (other resident cat) only hisses occasionally now and is adjusting to Finn and being around each other without complaining. Finn is doing well and loves to steal food off the owner's plate so that he can play with it. "He is such a beautiful, loving and amazing cat."

 1 month: no response

Coffee

1 day: Coffee is doing quite well at adapting to a new environment. He is eating and drinking well. Earlier in the morning, he was happy to cuddle with James (the son) and eager to step out of the room. He is quite curious about what goes on downstairs but will take more time before taking his first steps down. Currently, Coffee is only on short exploration visits to outside his room. The parents would prefer to keep Coffee's name while James may have his own idea.

Coffee curious
5 days: Coffee still has a bit of a stuffy nose these days and the owners can hear him snoring with some funny sounds. That aside, he eats well and plays well with the occasional sneeze. He runs around like a pony and always tries to climb up to their shoulders, the owners are adjusting to this new bonding fashion. He purrs a lot and sometimes has to be kicked out of the bedroom because it is so loud that they can't sleep.1 week: Coffee has been to every corner of the house and has thoroughly inspected every inch he could get to. He has been sleeping on every bed but his favourite spot is on the sofa for a nap or sleeping through the whole night. His congestion has been mostly fine other than 2 times when he sneezed and a bit of brown nasal discharge came out. Overall, he is such a lovely boy and is always keen to follow and watch whatever the owners are doing. He is not even shy to strangers when they had visitors over, even with young naughty boys running and yelling! He even runs to the door bell when they have visitors, acting just like a dog!
Coffee comfy
1 month: Coffee has been such a playful, curious and affectionate kitten like always. He is lovely, loves being accompanied and has never been naughty. He is now 3.2kg and in good health despite the occasional sneeze with a bit of mucus.

JJ, now Cleo

1 day: Little JJ is fine, except that she has pooped everywhere. She is currently in a crate with big sheet covering it with just one side open and is eating and drinking just fine.1 week: JJ is now called Cleo and she is doing really well! She has not pooped everywhere but the owners have found a couple outside the litterbox so they think Cleo must've flung them out on her way out of the litterbox. She is now spending more time wandering around the room than just in the crate she was initially set up with though she still sleeps in it overnight. The family will keep her inside the room for about another week or so before introducing her to the rest of the house as well as planning on how to introduce Cleo to their dog. The family loves her so much already!

JJ/Cleo cuddle
1 month: Cleo is just beautiful and the whole family ADORE her so much! She has made friends with Lexi (the dog) who will even show Cleo her tummy. Lexi was initially terrified and the family had to work on the two meeting and playing really slowly. Cleo was never bothered - she's brave! Now Lexi has got her head around Cleo's way of playing and their relationship is much better. Cleo often tries to snuggle up but Lexi can get unnerved and run away. Cleo is really happy and the family feel like their lives are whole again. They love cats and Cleo is perfect!

John made us laugh

 He came in from Dr Kim's next door and demanded who was parked in his car space in the basement. He said "Who owns a BMW?" . . . . . None of us!

Honey had a lovely time in the Top Cat while Guilia sat beside it and played with her. When Guilia left, she started to look for the escape holes. She would run a ping pong ball at all the cracks to test them.

Honey

I put Mogu and Kishu in the play place and she was interested in them (mostly him because he was running around). Not in an undesexed way . . . . just in the "I would like somebody to play with" way. One of the Supermodels was watching her. I really must learn who is who.
Supermodel

But I couldn't rely on a supermodel to tell me if Honey found a gap wide enough to escape through so I put her back into her condo and took down the Top Cat.

Later I put Opey in the Play Place. He was so happy looking out the window. His stand alone is in there with him so if his dinner is put in there he will hop back in to be wheeled out again to his corner. By the way, the paper rolls have arrived. Unfortunately they are super large toilet paper rolls ordered by mistake. We stashed them behind Opey's stand alone in the bookshelf there.

Opie

Cleo's kittens are growing like weeds. There are more kittens in Incoming. They arrived with a possibly tick bitten mother who didn't survive. And one of the litter didn't either. They are quite small, especially compared to Cleo's chubby foursome.

Cleo + 4

And Sara a vollie came with her parents to adopt Finn, the largest of Mia's kittens. He is already bigger and heavier than she is. He will share his new owners with two other cats. They might have to watch out that he doesn't steal all their food!

Adoption Tails: Just adopted

Figgie at play

We had a busy weekend with adoptions last weekend. Figgie and Darcy when home together and did not take long to settle in. (Notice his paw stretched out to touch the boy's arm)

We heard about Finn, 789 who was adopted  on Dec 12
Day 6: Finn is acting like he has been with his new family for years. He is so loved and makes them happy every day.
1 month: They are having trouble registering him as their council is closed due to covid. Her new owner has told her friends about SAFE & says she will drop by to donate food or something. Sue pointed out that for us it is best for us and easiest for her to donate money so we could buy the type of food we need. She sent photos:
 

Finn

 Today I took the paperwork across the bay to Laurie/Lasagne's foster home so that they could claim him forever. Remember when he was surrendered to us how unhappy he was with this inflamed GI tract? Now, after expensive treatment, he is calm, friendly, playful, inquisitive, loving. I think he was pleased to see me.

Laurie/Lasagne
I picked him up and gave him a big hug from all of us.
