Adoption Tails: Tofu, Archie, Jeremy, Walnut

 Tofu/Toto

the only photo I have of Tofu

  1 day: He has eaten and used his litter box.

1 week: He is interested in exploring. He has been renamed Toto

Jeremy

1 day: He is going great and is a very happy boy. He’s eating well and has been using his litter box. He is very settled, affectionate and playful.

Jeremy

1 week: “He is so beautiful and very active all around the unit. Very playful and cheeky but also so affectionate”

1 month: He is doing so well. He’s a very happy and cheeky boy. “We love him very much”

 

 Archie/Ernest

1.5 weeks: Archie has been renamed Ernest. He is doing so well. He follows his owner around especially when they’re working from home and has started exploring the living room. Yesterday, he started jumping up on the couch/bed to sit with his owner for the first time. He seems to be steadily getting more comfortable and confident.

Ernest

1 month: Ernest is super comfortable and is getting more confident. He sleeps on his owner’s bed with them every night and is very vocal around mealtimes.

 

Walnut

1 day: Walnut is doing well and seems quite settled. She has a good appetite and is eating well. She has used the litter too. “Her name suits her so she will be keeping her name”

Walnut, 2 days

1 week: She has full reign of the house now

Walnut, 1 week

1 month: She’s settled in really well and is a happy little cat. They registered her via email which was very smooth and had no fee.

Cleo adopted

 Cleo was adopted today by the nice grandmother who came with her granddaughter last week (or two?) She wanted to wait until after her weekend guests had visited to choose a cat so that she could spend quality time with the new cat. She certainly got all the tips and tricks that she could out of Lucy and Tim so I hope that she is prepared for Cleo's occasional lapses.

Tofu was adopted yesterday so the little stand alone is empty again.  It seems to be the good luck cage at the moment (probably because it usually has a kitten in it.) Everybody is charmed by Puss who is just inside the front door including a family of 3 women and 3 kids who came late this afternoon, looking for a young cat suitable for kids. The older boy was very confident with all the cats . . . Ginger George let this boy stroke his flank after he flopped on this side at their collected feet. But the younger ones were a bit wary (wise kids) and there is a 3year old at home. They will look at the blog for the kittens who are in foster homes that we know are acclimated to children. Libby asked not to be shown to children.

Jolene's back legs are improving. She walks on them now. She will be ready to run with Tabby and Phantom soon.

Marmalade and Duke are feeling much better.

Robyn spent some time in the play place with Ruby and company so that she could cool down after being in the kitchen. We need to set up a fan in there on hot days with lots of washing up.

We don't know who is whom and the fourth was

asleep in a hidey hole.

Frantic Friday

 One result is this:

The remaining three ABBA kittens were adopted today. Agnetha and Bjorn went to an enthusiastic teenager and her parents first. They were torn between them and Pumpkin and Midnight but Bjorn had called to the daughter over the www. 

Later a family came to find a kitten to replace their dark tortie who died not so long ago. Amber looked too much like their previous cat and they wanted somebody to go with their 8 year old boy cat. So they chose Freda who was looking very sorry for herself with her siblings gone.

Alongside these adoptions there was a superfluity of vollies and trainees, folk coming with donations of such generosity that they deserved a conducted tour around all the cats, folk coming to pick up their boarding cats who were more, or less, eager to go home. Tilly/ Daphne didn't really want to go but she will be back. Fosterers came in with kittens to be vaccinated including the fosterer of Sushi and her litter. Sushi is in the small stand alone. She is very sweet and a little shy.

Her remaining two kittens are in the stand alone beside the trolley.

Lots of cats got to wander around enjoying the visitors. Max got time in the play place (as all boarders who paid for time have had it.) He is happy to be carried there by Katie.

I didn't get to eat my lunch until 3 - 3:30. At which time I decided that it was too late to hand out the chicken. But Rosanna was so horrified at the idea that the cats would go without their Friday chicken that she offered to stay late to share it out. And Katie wanted some for the Incoming cats too. I got away just as Tim came back from the vets with Coco (check up), Cleo (desex) and somebody else. Opey was let out in the hope that Tim will get him back into his stand alone when he came back from the vets. As I left Opey's expression dared me to walk past him.

Opey is all bluff

 

From black to white

 Yesterday Terry adopted out Smoochie. Hurrah. She will be so much happier in a house. 

Smoochie

Her new owner looks happy too.

Smoochie and her new owner

Tofu was adopted from his foster home. A couple of folk were interested in him.

And today, Tommy and Mia's kittens Bonnie and Lemmy were adopted together.

And best of all, Willow was adopted. I hope her new people are very patient.
