Adoption Tails: Monica, Wanda, Oreo, Clover and Myrtle

Monica 5149 

1 day: Monica is settling in really well in the spare room. She's eaten, drunk & used the litter tray with no issues. Cuddled the blanket last night. Occasionally, she will get a little spooked with loud noises. She was let out to explore the rest of the home and has since returned to her own space. Monica was happy to cuddle with her owner. 

Monica

1 week: Monica is doing great, no concerns. 

1 month: Monica's doing really great, settled in really well. The whole family loves her.

Wanda 5096

1 day: Wanda is doing well but has tried to nip at her owner twice when she reached out to pat her. Other than that, no other incidents have occurred and Wanda is happily sleeping next to owner. 

1 week: Settling in well, Wanda has had a chance to explore her new home. Her new owner is happy so far and dealing with her grief from losing her previous cat.

1 month: Wanda is doing very very well in her new home. She jumps up for cuddles on laps. They are both very happy with each other. Her owner was able to stop Wanda from jumping into the high spots of the wardrobe and is now teaching her not to jump onto the kitchen counters. Wanda likes to wake her owner up at 5:30am to play.

Oreo 5124 (Ruby's kitten)

1 day: Oreo is doing well, she ate a little and drank quite a bit of water, she's also used the litter tray. The owner has got name ideas but still haven't decided on one yet.

1 week: Oreo's doing well, although the owner had to take her to the vet as she had an issue with her eye. They just gave an ointment to apply and it should be all good in a couple days. She's comfortable in the owner's room, but still a little hesitant to explore the rest of the house.

1 month: She's doing very well!

Violet's kittens

Clover 5076 (Violet's kitten)

1 day: Clover has had a little bit to eat last night but not today. She's used the litter tray once. The owner will keep the name. 

1 week: Clover is doing great, very cuddly and active.

1 month: Clover is great!

 

Myrtle

1 day: She has not used the litterbox. She has eaten and maybe drunk water. The owner is going to keep her name. She is currently hiding under a bed near the heating vent. She is okay and he thinks he heard her meow during the night.
1 week: She's still hiding. Her owner is leaving the door open at night because she seems to want to explore at night. He is giving her limited access and there are no potential exit points for her.

Myrtle

 1 month: Myrtle seems to come out at night when it's quiet. She eats, drinks and uses her scratching box. She has explored the whole house and seems to enjoy the upstairs rug as it is always in a muddle in the morning. She has retreated back into her safe room after he talked to her but she is making slow progress.

Short Friday

 I kept my visit short this afternoon to limit exposing vollies to my bug. And to distribute the expected chicken.

Monica was desexed last week and her wound looks a bit red and gappy. Dr Kim inspected it this morning, cleaned it up and said that it should be OK if she is allowed to lick it clean. Some cats don't react well to the glue that is used instead of stitches. But she seems happy enough.

The Ginge who was in the play pen is now below Hanna and sneezing mightily. His mum, Sabrina is very pretty and friendly.

Ulysses and his two rag doll house mates are back in the Palace (The coffee shop kittens have been moved to the D's stand alone because they have all be adopted). Ulysses had play time there. After his hour and a half, Violet and co moved in. He was not impressed.

Where Ruby and her three kittens were, are Bingo and Pickles. I have the feeling that they were in a foster home. They are super friendly and won't last long. Sorry, Terry, I didn't get around to putting more cat carriers together for you.

Visited by poo bag fairies

 I have a very sore throat (RAT negative) so I was delighted on this very cold morning to arrive at Safe to find the balcony empty of poo bags. Many thanks to the poo bag fairies who made my morning easier. Last week there were 26 bags to take down.

No adoptions today but a young woman arrived to check out our kittens. The family cat died a year and a half ago and the family feels ready to take on another. She was taken by Ebby (being our smallest kitten available) but has to share the decision with her mother and her sister. She will be back when they get home from holidays. Some folk take a long time to get over a cat.

On the other hand, an older woman rang to ask if we have any kittens. Her cat died of liver failure aged 17 two weeks ago and she is bereft without a cat in the apartment. She will come on the weekend when her "boys" can drive her. They can also show her our web site as she doesn't do computers.

The Supermodel litter (Cindy, Helena, etc) are getting a bit friendlier but do not like having stuff put in their eyes. Luckily only two need the uggy ointment. So the other two are getting more pats.

Kate, Naomi, Cindy and Helena

I made a couple of hammocks for the Cannin Condo. Star's kittens say that only one kitten fits at a time.

They are still sneezing although their ring worm lesions look better.

Wanda is off to be desexed tomorrow. (She is looking positively plump). Monica is off for the op as well.

Last night Tim had to rush Adelaide to the vets because he was very sick. Didn't hear what happened. Sydney looked lonely.
