Smaller Better Row

 Today we moved Julie and Bassuria to the Welfare section. That was because Sidney was moved to Holly's stand alone next to Sydney. Because Holly was adopted over the weekend as were Sidney's two condo mates (Audrey and Sylvie, together).

Bassuria was no problem to move. He walked into the carrier as soon as we put some of Sue's chicken in there. It took some time for Gulia (vollie) to entice Julie (cat) into the carrier which she usually scurries into as soon as you look at her. But the deed was done and they are now below Joni.

So that only leaves Ella, Hugo, Mia and Hana on Better Row. I might have to change the name to Short Row.

Hugo who won't last long

The woman who adopted one of Maggies kittens brought him/her back because she couldn't deal with the mess a kitten makes. So Maggie's lot is back in the play place overnight or they go nuts in the stand alone. After breakfast this morning they got a big spurt of energy and raced around the play place like demons. The R girls in the Palace were parallel playing with them, bouncing from one side of their condo to the other. The R girls gave up first.

Another cat, Puma was returned over the weekend because the family situation has changed. The vollie who was there when he was returned immediately adopted him. She loved him when we had him over a year ago. But her mum wasn't keen on having a cat. On Saturday morning, she had finally given in and said she could have a cat. And up turned Puma, the love of our vollie's life. She came in this afternoon to smooch with him. He was perfectly happy to get all the love.

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.

More Gingers

 Since last Wednesday, Gracie, Dumpling and Matteo have been adopted from Safe Haven and Suga and Hazelnut from foster. To counterbalance that outflow, we have new cats, currently parked in Boarding but soon to be elsewhere. Like Puma who is a young (6-12 month old) ginger whose fur reminds me of a Burmese's fur. But his face is all ginger DSH:

Puma

He is a loving armful and had a fine time in the play place.

Next door is Monika who most folk would call a boy because most gingers are boys.

But poor Zoe (not the old one but a new one) in Incoming went to the vet to be checked and came back a Zack and without any teeth. He is on soft food only at the moment. The old Zoe has gone to foster along with Archie and Beckie. I had a frantic phone call at 8:30am from her fosterer to say, on a very bad line, that she had found a paw in her carrier. I called back and learned that it was a claw not a paw so explained that cats shed their claw sheaths regularly. Peach also went to the vet and came back without any teeth. She has retired to her bed box.

Back to the new kids in Boarding. There is Yoko and Linda. Don't know who named them. Or who is who.

And there are two new mums with kittens that Joy didn't get a photo of. Next time.

In the meantime, Cheena and Bubbles are settling down with us.

And Wanda's kids are ready to move to the Cat Room and get adopted. . . . but only if those blinky eyes are not flu. . . . ..

Quentin, Bingo, Pickles, Squiggle

(Can we please change Squiggle's name to Squire. Imagine how undignified the cat will be as an adult being called Squiggle!)
