Amazing weekend

 8 adoptions over the weekend including the F kittens (Frankie and Floyd), Panda, Bubble and Squeek, Suzie and Sirocco.

And today Peaches and her son Biscuit were washed to exclude all traces of ring worm.They have moved to next to Maxi. And Lolli and Gracie were washed as well and moved to Panda's stand alone. There are now only two kittens in Isolation. Let's hope they will be the last there for months.

 Geoff came and cut holes in the single condos in the Transit Lounge. He installed the unscrewable doors so that two condos can be made into one for larger families of kittens. We currenly have one group of six tiny kittens below Rosy.


 

And Persephone has been moved to Lola's small stand alone (which was most recently occupied by the F kittens). Geoff investigated the latch that they (the F's) managed to open last week. His simple solution is to use one of the clips that came on toys given to us by Mariko several Christmases ago. I have used them for hammocks for enclosures as well. I took a photo of one in action with the Safe phone but couldn't send it to myself. My own phone was at home, of course and my camera has died). Perhaps Irene can upload it here or on Facebook. 

Prue and Trude were going to come back but their fosterers couldn't get them into cat carriers. They will try again. They have been gone for a long time. 

A mum and son came in to find a kitten to go with their young cat who is driving their old cat crazy. They loved Maxi. And will probably be back.

An elderly lady came in to get a cat because her dog is missing their previous cat so much. She may return. She rather fancied Phoenix.

 A family came in to find a friend for their big boy kitten. They liked almost everybody. But especially liked Maxi.

International Day of the Cat, 2026

 Mona Vale Vet hosted a celebration of the day and Irene organised a visitation by some of our cats.

She was going to take all three C kittens but a young man came at 10am to get a kitten as a surprise for his girlfriend and as a treat to go with their existing boy cat. He fell in love with Crystal. And took her home.The remaining 2 C girls went to the celebration and only one came back as the other was adopted. Only Caroline left now.

She also took Kiwi who has gone home on appro with the vet nurse.

Soon after they left for the celebration, an older lady came in to meet Enzo. Her most beloved cat died recently and she needs a cat. She loved Enzo on our website. But, Enzo was not impressed with her. So I introduced her to Nala who, most uncharacteristically, turned herself inside out to impress the person. She purred, flashed her fabulous whiskers, jumped up a level, etc, etc. The lady was entranced. 

Then I suggested that we meet Minke just to have met all the possibles. And the lady fell in love. Minke lapped it up. Match made in heaven. Minke will live happily ever after.

 Susie and Sirocco didn't go the the celebration so they are still with us. (And Susie has shed her collar since Joy took these photos on Wednesday. Thanks Joy.)
