Roisin adopted again

 Let's hope it is for good this time. Because her stand alone was emptied, a pair of foster cats came in. They are Alladin and Jasmin. They are VERY shy. Their fosterer came in today to give them their favourite bed but they still look terrified. I decided that being inside the front door opposite the desk where the phone rings and folk talk all day is perhaps not the best place for them. So I swapped them for Le Clerc (ie I moved the stand alones around).

LeClerc is now the meeter and greeter cat and likes it.

Mylo has gone too. And Jimmy will be picked up on Sunday. 

Coco Cranfield is visiting again. She was very chatty today.

There are new kittens in Incoming including Griffon and 3 in C20

Amelia, Lexie, Loki (ginger)

Griffon

Souffle and co had several inquiry phone calls today. They might be ready on Friday. If so, there might be a "I got here first" fight for Souffle.

Mateo has gone home

 His person is absolutely bespotted by him. He has the biggest cat carrier. We formed a farewell queue to see him out. He will be back.

I made it to Safe before the Willoughby trucks did. So there are no bags on the balcony and room in one of the Cousins bins. Because I was so early I got to see the full moon setting on my way to Safe. And I saw it again rising on my way home. How often does that happen on a Wednesday?

We had visitors this afternoon. The sons of the family who brought back Teddy visited to say goodbye properly. Their explanations about why he was returned were more along the lines of "realized that we need to travel, not a good time, etc, etc". 

But this afternoon he was adopted to a woman who visited yesterday and left her T-shirt in his hammock for him to get used to her smell. (I didn't know about that and had chucked it out by the time she arrived because I thought one of the sons had left it). Never mind. He has gone to a better home.

A couple rang to say they wanted to meet Pirate Pete and came in about 3pm. P Pete wasn't very friendly. Charlie dropped off her foster kitten Mylo this morning and said that he was super cuddley. He didn't want anything to do with this older couple.

So I introduced them to Emma. I had to drag her from her upper shelf. But she soon settled into my arms and when I handed her over to the woman, she started to purr. They have gone away to think about it and may be back tomorrow (at 10am).

Then another couple (mother and daughter) came in. They had phoned after looking at our website and wanted to meet Pikachu. They spent quite a bit of time with her. And she liked them. They are both dark skinned, dark haired women so perhaps she can see them more clearly. They will be back tomorrow to adopt her.

And another woman came in to adopt Alfie, a kitten from foster.

Recently Lola has taken up residence on Tim's chair or on his desk. Not exactly convenient for Tim. But good for Lola to stroll over to the feeding station. Today one of the vollies suggested giving her a box. There was a black box that looked conveniently small. I put it behind Tim's screen. And she climbed in, curled herself into a tight ball and went to sleep.

Still staffless

Good thing they didn't come. They would have been disappointed. Chanel 7 rang up early to ask if they could do a follow up on the Big Ginge. It was OK with Julie who is going to adopt him. It was OK with me but I said they should talk to Tim first. They didn't come with their cameras and microphones. Which is a big pity because The Big Ginge will soon be known as The Big Mouth Ginge. Either he is a very chatty cat or a very hungry cat. He is still on wet food only and can never get enough.

There has been movement out since last Friday: Mylo the glorious. As opposed to Milo at Bron's in Avalon who has been badly tick bit and is now at the Emergency Vets. Willow has found a home. Morty has been adopted. Jacob as been moved to his condo. Edward has their old condo all to himself. I think Jacob has more brains that Edward. I put a kong with crunchies in both of their condos and showed them how it worked. Edward just kept screaming for food but Jacob hit it repeatedly until it was empty.

Tim Tam and Cookie got adopted twice since Friday! Let us hope that this will be third time lucky. The new owner took some of their fancier toys and their new bed which is a good sign. Missy was adopted. . . no surprise there as she was our smallest. And Lennox. Not only that but somebody is after Layla. As soon as Lucia and her two terrors are off our hands the Liverpool colony will be done. The new mum in the corner of boarding is doing well. Her kittens are always in a neat pile, she is in her carry cage and her food bowl is empty. . . no matter how often you fill it.

Angel has been renamed Angelique because Angel was tempting fate. She feels much better and had multiple small, warm meals. . . . sort of like tapas except it was always the same thing. She snoozes between teaspoonfuls on her hottie.

On Sunday, the colony cat Windsor disappeared. (He was from a colony near the suburb Windsor hence the name). Terry found him in a hidey and carried the whole thing to his condo with him inside. Better Terry than me!

Lola is settling down in her new home. She got a new pillow today.
