Adoption Tails: Sweet Pea, Liam

Sweetpea aka Peapea

Sweatpea

2 days: All is going well. She has used the litter tray and enjoys her meals. She has been renamed Peapea.

 3 days: “We love her very much! She’s still having her lunch break now”

1.5 weeks: “She‘s so so active and affectionate”. Her owners are amazed at how fast she’s adapted to her new home. They’re also very surprised by her appetite, “this little kitten might have an adult one‘s stomach”

2 months: She’s growing so well. “I can see her little face that‘s getting fatter”

Liam

Liam

4 days: He has been eating, drinking, and using his litter. “He still runs under the bed as soon as he sees me but venturing out a little more.” He’s extremely active at night. His owners will be keeping his name.

1.5 weeks: "He’s doing really well. He is allowing me to pet him and is very playful. Our bond is getting better every day. I’m glad I stayed loyal and didn’t choose another cat. He is so cute”

5 weeks: “He’s totally at home”. He gets on his owner’s bed and they have great cuddles. He plays a lot and is eating well. They still can’t pick him up or bend down to pet him. “He’s a real chatty Catty. I think Liam is pretty happy”

Anticipating a busy, wet weekend

 Liam doesn't have a younger sibling or cousin any more. Amelia's kitten died overnight. But she still looks very plump around the tummy. Liam is trying to adapt to life in the Welfare area. It is a bit busy for him.

His downstairs neighbours took ages to get to the stage that Charlie is comfortable sitting on PC's blanketed chair while there is a person sitting at the front desk. (Champ is still hiding more often than not).

We moved Annabelle and Abigail from Incoming to next door to Liam. I don't know which one didn't want her photo taken.

Sparkle, on the other side is still confused about whether or not he likes people at face level.

But next door Isabelle loves everybody except those who want to put stuff into her left eye. Irene has her eye on the perfect adopters for Isabelle.

This afternoon while I was handing out ludicrously small pieces (in felines' opinions) of chicken I noticed that Tommy's colours are more like a tortie's than a tabbie's. There are male tories but they are invariably sterile. Tommy has been desexed. . . . hum!

Tommy/Tomasina

 

A new cat arrived in Incoming called Jamie. (That is a good name because is could be male or female)

Jamie didn't like the chicken

Consequences

 Because Jake and Josh got adopted their condo became available for Liam. 

Because Liam moved away from his "mother",  she promptly dropped another kitten in Incoming! I didn't get a photo. The kitten is too small and mum looks plump enough to have other kittens still to come.

Because Ryan and Luna got adopted (separately), Hansel and Derek moved into the front door stand alone and had a wonderful time in a space 6 times, at least, as big as their condo in Incoming.

Because Queen Victoria got adopted, Pickles was moved into her condo. He wasn't really pleased but I think he will enjoy watching other cats more than watching food.

So that means there are 3 empty condos on Better Row. Irene won't be able to resist that for long. She has 11 cats/kittens at her house.

And because a previous adopter dropped by few weeks ago to visit the cats and admire the hammocks I have two big bags of fabric scraps to make into hammocks. She was in the business of making face masks during Covid and has lots of left-overs.

And because an ex-vollie was collecting bedding for charity, she thought of us and rang to ask if we needed any fitted sheets. . . . no, thank you; blankets. . . . . no thank you; towels. . .. yes! please!

And, because we were busy I didn't get out my camera so here is an old photo of Dexter who made a dash for freedom during his condo cleaning. His cleaner was too wary of getting bitten to pick him up. But he is very good for me. . . . famous last words?

And a photo of my Cody who is a Safe adoption. Sharon picked up her Leo this afternoon. He was very pleased to see her after being abandoned with us for 5 WHOLE DAYS!
