Lots of adoptioins this month

 We are up to 34 so far this month already.

New faces in Welfare. Sunflower and Rain have been moved from Incoming.

Sunflower

Frankie is still there. Don't know why he doesn't get chosen. He is so handsome.

And this afternoon we let out LeClerc to play with a ping pong ball. The team was so efficient that all the work was done by noon. Plus there are very few mums and bubs to feed repeatedly. And no adopters came out in the rain today. It was an easy day.

Some of the little kittens don't like Mother and Baby Cat. Ollie and Daisey on Better Row hardly ate anything until I gave them some Kitten Boost and adult soft food.Ollie is 4-6 months and is shy. Daisey is 2-4 months and friendly. Perhaps their mothers were sisters. Ollie hides in the upper sleeping box. Daisey needs a stratchy pole positioned next to it to be able to climb up there.

 Since Darley was separated from the two kittens that he came in with, he has become much more friendly and calmer. (As have his erstwhile condo mates). And he didn't eat much Mum and Baby cat food today either. (They scarfed theirs). He loved the alternatives. And he enjoyed being combed. His fur is very lumpy in parts and he has a bare strip around his neck. It is a pity he can't tell us his story.

 Thanks for the photos Joy.

 

Bent Lily

I refer to the Gymea lily growing in front of Block 1. It has bent over to face level in an attempt to get more sunlight. So, next time you come to save, walk past the mail boxes to get a close up view of a lily that is usually 3meters up in the sky. 

Another spectacular thing is that we have adopted out 2 dozen cats/kittens so far this month. But we only have 71 cats in residence at Safe Haven because we are expecting a deluge of kittens shortly. September is traditionally the beginning of the kitten season. But we have had a steady trickle of kittens all year.

Cats who got adopted since last week include Mickey who has been on our books for ?3 years.

And Pixie a kitten who's sister Ecco, the last of that litter, was chosen by a woman today. She has to convince her husband that their Siamese cat needs a friend.

The man who came in last week came again and will return tomorrow to adopt Meika and Loki!

I did one adoption today of Garfield to a couple who picked him up from the foster home.

And the man who surrendered two of his family's 17 cats (!) was in tears this afternoon after visiting them. The cats, Heffer and Ginger, weren't happy either.

Ginger

A busy day. Cherish got a bath and has moved to Darcy's condo. Darcy in next to Bass and Julie in an enclosure. I tried to take her photo but she is one wiggly cat! Ishi and Apricot got baths too. Sue and I got scratched. They are still in Isolation, waiting for a suitable condo in Welfare.

We have two new cats in Incoming. Sunflower and Rain. Neither of them ate much last night or today. I wonder if they came from the same place.

Not like Lola whom I caught snacking on the kitten's MBC food this afternoon.
