Adoption Tails: Yumi, Cleo and Kat

Yumi

4 days: She’s very good and is slowly coming out of her shell. She has used the litter tray (but only goes when no one is looking. Such a lady), eats all of her food and is drinking water. She is no longer in her safe room and has moved herself into the living room comfortably. All by her own initiative. They are trialing the name Maeby (Mae for short) to see if she responds.

 10 days: Mae is doing great. “She's a bit of a stairs goblin. She likes playing on the stairs with all her toys. She's comfortable in every room of the house now. Her personality is showing a lot more, just not enough to be cuddly yet! She will on her own time.” She’s eating, drinking and using her litter box well. She’s never had any litter issues and knows where her bathroom is.

 1 month: “She is great! Still a little nervous but very at home! Eating well. Using the bathroom well. She isn't very cuddly, but hopefully will feel more comfortable with touch in the winter. It's been very hot lately so I don't blame her.”

 Cleo

1 day: She has settled in really well so far. She is eating, and drinking, and has used the litter tray a few times. She has found a safe haven under one of their small lounges and she likes it there. She comes out when they talk to her and explores her room. Her owner has picked her up several times today and she is loving it. She is also purring. “She is a beautiful healthy baby girl”. Thank you for allowing her to become our precious beautiful girl. “We just love her so much”. They will keep her name although they sometimes call her Chloe. She may end up as CC. All she wants to do is play with her new toys when it’s bedtime.

1 week: She wants to get past the screen door but her owner is a bit scared to let her roam the rest of the house. She is sitting at the back door, looking out the window. She has a couple of favourite spots. She plays with her toys, eats more, uses her litter and lets her owner pick her up. “She is going really well”. She comes to her owner when they call her.

 1 month: “Cleo is just so precious. She has fitted in so well. We just love her with so so much.”

 Kat

5 days: Kat has been renamed Cleo. She settled in quickly. She’s confident and is always asking for pats. “She has claimed one of the chairs in my lounge room which is perfect!” She is great with her litter tray and is always asking for more food. They have an appointment with her vet in a week to touch base and get some more of her medication.

2 weeks: “Cleo seems to be getting more and more comfortable each day”. She met her new vet and got more of her medication.

1 month: Cleo is settling in so well. Her owner’s housemate is also loving having Cleo in their home. “She is an absolutely beautiful girl, and we are seeing more and more of her personality each day”

Bins away

The Willoughby garbage truck managed to smash one of our council bins today. There was sawdust and blue gloves all over the sidewalk. They will deliver another but it will probably take weeks. And I managed to loose the Cousins bin key. I must have chucked it in the cardboard bin with all the emptied food boxes that had littered Opies room before I flattened them. Luckily, we have spare keys. 

Yumi was adopted today. An excited voice rang in the morning to check that she was really still with us and available. She was in her stand alone so I said "come get her". Her new owner is a lovely, patient woman who sat smiling while Sue struggled to get the computer to do what it was supposed to do and to then find a way around what it wouldn't do. I only had to get Yumi into the cloth carry bag. . . . not so easy. She was very suspicious and wasn't even tempted by Greenies. But she is such a nice cat, I was allowed to pick her up and shove her in.

Joy took photos. 

Pippa is in Welfare and is ready to go. She chirrups at everyone who walks by so won't last long when we get visitors.

Jack and Luna really enjoy having time out of their condo to play. All they need is a vollie to wiggle a wand toy at them

PC has moved into Kenzie's condo. He will happily entertain visitors there. No appointment required. Just come to adore him.

But poor Chad is still stuck in Incoming. He needs some of this loving.

 At one stage, I was the kitten holder for photos of Gracie's kittens. They don't like being held much and definitely don't like being pointed at by mobile phones or laptop computers. We had to microchip them to find the right ones to photograph via their microchip numbers. They all have G names and are mostly grey tabbies or grey and whites. The photos will appear on FB or similar.

Their downstairs neighbour, Cindy has had her kittens, 5 wiggly worms at this stage.
