Sheridan to the rescue

 Sheridan is a devoted fosterer and deliverer of cats to vets. Today she wrangled Eli into a carry cage so he could go to the vet to have all his teeth removed. Perhaps he knew why he was being put into a carry cage. Perhaps he just doesn't trust people very well. After this vet visit, that mistrust will be fully justified! (But he will love the "soft food only" period).

Bindi is in Griffin's stand alone. She is a sweet cat who probably won't last long.

Griffin was going to be returned today because "he doesn't like being picked up". He was adopted last Wednesday and Sue did tell them that it might take a month of two for him to settle into a new environment. They didn't arrive. Perhaps they reread the adoption folder!

Raya and Ashley have gone to Goulburn to live with Rosanna and a couple of stratchy poles from the lobby.

Sunny and Hilda finished their ringworm meds and were promptly adopted by the folk who live in Mayfield somewhere in western NSW. They came on the weekend.

Puss Puss and Aziza when home over the weekend.  

Cordelia was adopted over the weekend so her stand alone was empty for the morning. Then Mochi and Cupcake were delivered by their fostermum to go into that stand alone. We had already had calls about adopting Mochi!

Cordelia's kittens have been desexed and will be ready to adopt soonish. An older woman came in this afternoon for a kitten and eventually settled on one of them but couldn't decide which one. But they are not available yet. I showed her how to check out Adoption page on our website.

Angelica was off her food today. Which reminded me of her story. It seems a woman picked her up from a hoarder's house and decided to take her home, by car, to Queensland. On the way she let the kitten out of the car to do a wee and thought "this is not a good idea". Somehow she got onto us and dropped off Angelica. The kitten wouldn't touch Mother and Baby cat soft food initially. She would only eat crunchies. Today she wouldn't touch M& BC of any texture but happily ate any other brand of food I gave her.

Lost cat found

 Lola seems to have accepted her new, smaller stand alone. She does spend all of her time in Opies room except for a foray into her standalone if her breakfast is not delivered to her there. So her erstwhile larger stand alone is now occupied by Rubia and Ryan. Ryan has been desexed and is ready to go. Rubia needs a vet check etc. They only had one hammock and Ryan slept in it all day with Rubia on a hard shelf. I took pity on her and installed a second hammock. Which he promptly claimed.

I also changed Mia's narrow hammock for a wider one. I've never seen her using the narrow one. But soon after I installed the wider one. . . . . sorry about the silly camera which focuses on the foreground, but you get the idea.

There were scads of volunteers so the work got done early and every cat that wanted a cuddle got one. Yin and Yan actually ate their breakfast so I spent time with them and was rewarded with purrs and nudges for more. They are sweet cats.

Helen came to help this afternoon. She wanted Meatball to have time out. And he had a fabulous time chasing a ping pong ball. . . . and careening into bits of furniture. The expression on his face was just like that on the sticker cat on Tim's filing cabinet.

We let Cooper out for a wander early in the afternoon. He went around introducing himself gently to the other cats and settled on the odd person's lap. He spent lots of time on the shelf on the back wall of Welfare communing with Raya (or is it Raven). Everything went well. Until it came to feeding time and he wasn't in his stand alone (Charlie had been there earlier). After a search I found him on the poof under the front desk. Sensible cat.

Short visit

 I had to take the husband to the eye doc for another injection today. And the traffic was terrible so the regular staff/vollies arrived late. But we made it in time and he is having a lie down now.

Just like Trude and Prue after their early breakfast.

The R kittens/cats were moved to Incoming. They are not happy. But, at least I know who is whom now.

Raven

Raya

Rocky

I thought they were all girls. But Rocky is a boy.

And Maggie's kids much prefered their old digs in the play place to the Palace.

Astra, Zaria in foreground. Roman lurking on the top shelf (just a pair of ears)

Max and Ted have settled down. They are both in dire need of a good hair brushing.

Max

I have never seen a tail as flexible as Ted's. He carries it on his back.

Calvin and Vivienne are back

 The vollies will be pleased that their favourite cuddle kittens are back. But, they were adopted with Cordelia (the last C kitten) who is in boarding for a few days. And Cordelia has a round, bare spot on her left temple. Tim will apply the blue light this evening to see if it is ringworm. If it is, as Cordelia, Calvin and Vivienne were all playmates at home, it will put C & V out of bounds until they get the all ringworm clear.

Calvin and Vivienne

The folk who adopted C & V just found 3 kittens in the house too much. And the landlord wasn't that thrilled. 

Another C cat (? Chad) stayed overnight. His owner somehow told us that he was up a tree in Lindfield and had been there for a week. We called Geoff who decided that he couldn't climb the tree to get the cat so called in his Fire Rescue mates for help. They got the cat and he was delivered to Safe. He was desperate to get out of his condo this morning and was madly friendly. Mid morning, his owner arrived and was thrilled to see him. The cat was pretty pleased as well. But, I am sure he complained that he hadn't had enough food all the way home.

The grey kittens from Reception (aka junk room) have moved to the Palace. One was very interested to watch what I was doing. They are Raya, Raven and Rocky.

Or perhaps they were interested in what the Stones kittens were doing in the Play Place:

I finally got around to installing a hammock in Rajah and Genie's stand alone in Incoming. They were delighted but didn't recognise it as something relaxing. Maybe it was the elastic ties, or the shiny metal connectors. Or perhaps it was just SOMETHING NEW!
