Boarders

 For school holidays we are remarkably unfull of boarders this week. But a pair of cats who were "adopted from us 2-3 years ago" came in this afternoon. . . . Calli and Lexi. I can't remember them but they may have put on a little weight. And they are not happy, Jan.

Calli and Lexi

Over the weekend all the "desirable" kittens were adopted. We even had another call to adopt Souffle today!

And a man came to meet Valentina. She played "I want to be alone" as usual. So I introduced him to the other available cats who have been with us for a while. He really liked Darcy. He will be back on Friday morning when he has set up his apartment to adopt one, or the other.

And a nice teacher came in with her mother to adopt Astrid. She knew all about her dodgy patella and is fine with it. She will bring Astrid in next Thursday because her vaccination is due and there wasn't anybody around who is trained to give injections.

One of the vollies is doing Animal Heath at Tech and had to give a cat a "physical". Not so easy choosing a suitable cat for that! But we settled on Velvet who tolerated being prodded and handled. Vovo was a bit jealous of the attention that she got. It was definitely a two person examination!

Sue spent the afternoon giving Calli's four kittens a bath. . . separately. And thoroughly scrubbing their condo. They are probably ringworm free now. But don't look very happy about it.

They have names: Jasper (ginger), Lapis (black tabby), Coral (white tabby) and Jade (orange).

There are plenty of pretty kittens in Incoming: photographed by Joy.

And two from the stand alone:

Chicken makes purrs?

 Jellybean has the BEST purr even though he looks shy. Perhaps it was chicken induced.

The three Incoming kittens have names:

Loki is the ginger, Lexi has a black nose  and Amelia has a white nose. Lexi and Amelia are tuxedos.

When I went to Isolation to give afternoon teas, Cordelia was standing on one hammock while grooming India while China watched from above. (Those hammocks should be thrown away when the family has been cleared of ringworm.)

We had expected a rush on Monte Carlo, Mont Blanc and Souffle this afternoon. But they haven't been added to the available list because their incision lines (from desexing) look a bit grungy and swollen.  I hope there is not a chorus of complaint tomorrow for Terry to deal with.

LeClerc is enjoying his role as le door clerk.

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

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.
