Kittens going (and coming)

 There have been lots of adoptions. Bruce and Ruby have moved out of the enclosure opposite Lina as they are the last of that litter. They have moved into the stand alone by the door. I hope somebody adopts them together. Bruce is very loving to Ruby.

Panther and co have moved from Incoming to their enclosure. They like it much better and are really friendly there. A family came this afternoon and are very keen on one of them who loved the attention. But those boys haven't been desexed yet so they will just have to wait.

And Lina is waiting to be picked up. She was adopted today by a mother and her two kids. They are going to take time to set everything up at home before picking her up on Saturday. It seems like a very good match. Their previous cat was blind at the end of her life. 

Kath and I figured out who is who of Zena and Tiger.  

Zena and Tiger

Tiger has the white stripe on his nose.

And Oreo likes to have his forehead scratched through the bars.

I tried to move Peanut to Welfare this afternoon but she wasn't having it. I really think we should change her name to Princess.

 

No Lunch

 I wasted spent a lot of time this afternoon updating the vollie's name tags. The wee box that they live in has become very tight and most of the names in it are of vollies who have "retired". So I asked Rosanna for an updated list of vollies names and went through the box pulling out the uncurrent names and writing the new current names. It is amazing what a difference that has made to the number of cards that are current. But, if you can't find your name in the alphabetical sorting, go through the stack of cards at the back of the box. You may well still be there!

One adoption today to the woman who confessed to having visited 10 times before deciding whom she wanted to take home with her. David did the deed. They all went home happy. . . . see multiple social media posts. 

Pippa adopted

 Another visitor couple were looking for a kitten even though they are older. He is mostly in a wheelchair and she is lively. They liked Phoebe (Valentina's last wobbly kitten). Unfortunately they have a scheduled "away" time until Wednesday. But the probability of Phoebe still being available when they return is 95%.

Irene anticipates that 5 kittens will be adopted tomorrow. (Not including Phoebe.)

Georgie, the female G, went to be desexed today but did not survive the anaesthetic.  . . . something congenital. Rather like Grayson's missing back leg. The rest of the family is getting more relaxed and friendlier by the day.

Gideon (tabby with white on face), Gaia (Black & White), Gruff (brown tabby)

Including Grayson who can be picked up and cuddled medicated. 

 While on G kittens: I tried to clean up Gary who gets drops put into his ear twice a day. Of course, he shakes them out onto his divine ginger coat. I gave that coat a good wipe with damp paper towel this afternoon. It didn't do much good.

 Late this afternoon (when I checked that everybody had enough water to drink overnight) Lilli came out of her bed box. She is such a pretty cat with GREEN eyes.

 And the new kittens who arrived on Wednesday are Caramel: tabby & white paws, Cheetah: tabby with white nose, Fluffy: DMH and, our named, Panther: black.

I have made two more hammocks to replace the ones that were thrown out from Nutmeg's enclosure.

 Bright enough?

 

No touch

 No sign of the lizard today. The junk room was piled with boxes which Sue wrestled open. They contained one cat carrier each. So much packing!

I was on condo sterilizing first thing this morning because it has been discovered that some of the Spice Girls have ring worm lesions. They have gone together in the up and down condo pair in Isolation and their mum is under Australis and co. Bugger. No more playing with kittens in Welfare.

And Rory is back on a special diet so no more giving him lots of treats in exchange for love. 

Rory

Peaches has settled down into her foster home very well, according to her new mum. And I moved Freya into her condo below Rory because Freya's condo in Incoming was needed for four kittens who arrived this afternoon. That condo was signposted for Mike who is gorgeous enough for folk to go to the end of the row to meet him. Freya is very pretty too so as soon as her collar is off she will be adopted. 

And the kittens who arrived are pretty tame and quite big enough to be desexed. They are Panther (the black one who we named) and Fluffy, Cheeta and ? 

Savannah's collar is off and the lump on her right cheek has gone. The whiskers on that side are growing back as well. 

Savannah

 One of Valentina's kitten was adopted. . . the boy. Her girl is desperate for attention/affection.

Another who also wants attention is Wolfgang. He still pongs a bit but has got his loving ways back.

 Thanks for the photos Joy.

Movement at last

 After an adoption drought (despite the rainy weather), there have been adoptions and movements of cats.

Dexter got adopted by a man who "has experience with difficult cats". It has been 4 days which is 3 days longer than the last time he was adopted. So fingers crossed. 

And Betty has gone to a foster home. And Hermionie has gone to Katie's to live. And two of Honey's kittens have been adopted naturally including the super friendly Socks. Left are Luna, Scarlett, Patches and Panther. Honey is posted as 10 months old. What a heroine!

Honey plus 4 this evening at dinnertime.

The Squee litter in Isolation has been moved out except for Pumpkin who is still there and being treated as infectious. Two have . . . ? been adopted. . .. disappeared. And two are in Dexter's condo. They are still dedicated to eating.

Spots and Marmalade

We have new cats on Better Row. Moet and Jerry were surrendered. I will try to find out why. They seem to be a lovely pair. Jerry is the ginger male who is friendly. Moet is the ginger and white girl who is wary. Or the other way around!

Jerry and Moet

And Calli is under Josie who is getting friendlier every day.

Calli

As are Theresa's big cats in the stand alone in Incoming. They are very food oriented. They loved it when they were getting 2 month old kitten rations.

Theresa's three

Trude and Prue would like to go back to those good old days. But with patience, Sue is getting them used to being touched.

Trude, Prue and Sue

And for entertainment we have: Meatball, PC and Derek. Meatball is a comedian, PC is an opportunist, Derek is a fanatic (aka a kitten).
