Adoption Tails: Felix: a foster fail and Ivan the intrepid

We only have a 1-month update of Felix who was adopted by his foster carers.

1-month: Felix has settled in. He is doing better with guests and the resident cat. Still keeping the two separate at night but there are a few good sniffs and interactions with them now.

 Ivan, one of Violet's kittens

1 Day: Ivan (now Oliver) has settled right in -- he purrs like crazy on his owner's lap as they try to work! He has eaten last night and this morning, and used kitty litter (my other's cat litter for a wee, his own for a poo!) Our existing cat is very put out, not fighting but hissing and growling. Fingers crossed things will settled down soon.

Day 1: Ivan

1 Week: Oliver is going well, he had his F3 booster this morning. He loves his food and also getting into cupboards! He and Bette are getting closer -- alternating sniffing and giving each other lots of space!

Day 1, Ivan the explorer

1 Month: Oliver has very much settled in! He loves playing in boxes and with Lego (not eating it!) He also likes exploring the courtyard. He's full of energy and loves his food! He and our cat are going okay... Also the owners can't believe it's been a month!

Persians in Paradise

 Yesterday after blogging I checked the Safe calendar to see if anything happened. And, lo and behold, Luigi and Bambi were adopted. A very nice family came. They were looking good. Their medical conditions were explained. The nice family can afford their care although they haven't ever owned Persians perhaps they don't quite realise the degree of daily care involved. But, Luigi and Bambi are used to devoted servants and will reward all attention with loving purrs.

Then, somebody else came and chose Nipper. He will be so happy to be out and about.

Talking of which, Tim has arrived a couple of mornings to find Diego sharing Nada's condo. There is a connecting flap that he has figured out how to navigate. They sit, on different levels, quietly waiting for their breakfast. (Goodness knows what they get up to overnight!)

To celebrate Tim's week off next week, it has been decided to make lots of cats and kittens available this weekend. I spent some time trying to get photos of the availables. Sootie did not cooperate. Many of the kittens were so squiggly they had to be held.

Some, of course, just sat and looked pretty.

Others tried to hide in the undergrowth.
