Posted by in cats I love it when the foster room looks like this: The laundry is all done and the extra stuff packed in the appropriate bin. The litter boxes and trays have been cleaned and extra cleaned with a product called Rescue which is used by shelters to kill anything that shouldn’t be present. The food and…Read more »
Posted by in cats I got phone camera photos – not very good ones – but photos anyway of the kittens I’ll be picking up Wednesday. They are around 6 weeks old, a very fun age. They’ve been cared for by a woman who takes in lots of kittens, many neonatal, and cares for them herself. Because she has…Read more »
Posted by in cats Just a cute picture today. The kittens all in their cones after completing their last step before heading home: spay and neuters! Everyone did great on Tuesday, and they will be out of those cones shortly and off to their forever homes this Sunday. At 4 1/2 months since Amelia arrived this is one of…Read more »
Posted by in Uncategorized Amelia and her kittens are nearing the end of their time with me. Amelia, after being a total pill about leaving her spay scar alone, finally got out of the cone after seven days. I’ve never had a cat need a cone that long, but she would not leave the incision be, so I had…Read more »

Posted by in cats The kittens are approaching ten weeks old (this Saturday) and they are a bunch of wild hooligans. Every evening, especially after 9 pm, when we are downstairs we hear the thunder feet racing everywhere up in their second floor foster room. We have successfully wiped out the Coccidia that they had, but the roundworms seem…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens are nine weeks old today and they are active little buggers. You can hear their races on the first floor as they romp around the foster room on the second floor. They are as cute as can be, but something seemed a little off this week. They weren’t eating as much as they…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens are 8 weeks old this Saturday, and looking more like cats all the time. The two boys are already well over two pounds, and Sweet Pea is just under 2 pounds, so doing very well weight wise. They’re active little buggers now, and we often hear thunder feet over our head when we’re…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kittens will be seven weeks on Saturday and they’re so much fun at this age. Into everything, active, curious, and eating real food! They are still nursing some as well, but I’m trying to encourage them to eat real food more often and let Amelia have a chance to dry out some. Her spay…Read more »
