Posted by in cats I finally had a little time to get photos of the Halifax kittens. Wendy, as before when shooting with just my phone, is outrageously photogenic. She not only looks like a little angel, but so far she is one as well. Utter sweetheart who wants only to be on your lap cuddling. Luna is another…Read more »
Posted by in cats Posted by in cats Here, finally, are some photos of the kittens who came from a barn in Halifax, a town a bit north of us. They came in with a little bit of everything: ear mites, bacteria and yeast in ears, conjunctivitis in the eyes, a little upper respiratory stuff, and plenty of internal parasites. The poor things…Read more »
Posted by in cats It is a full week of pet sitting this week, so the universe decided it would be a good week to spend lots of time at the vet office as well. Monday was a scheduled appointment for Rebecca’s kittens, a general look at them by the vet, plus their first distempers and the test for…Read more »
Posted by in cats The kitties found in a barn in Halifax arrived that evening. They were pretty freaked out about the change in venue but they are doing much better today.

Their departure allowed me to do a very quick clean of the regular foster room, and move Rebecca and her kittens into the big foster room. The other room they’ve…Read more »
This last week has been sooooo busy. I’ve disliked summers for many reasons for lots of years, but one of the reasons has been that the pet sitting schedule is unrelenting in the summer and by fall I am one cranky camper. I had a very busy pet sitting week this past week, and I’m…Read more »
I am quiet for ages, and now y’all are having to see posts from me daily, but things are starting to quiet down a bit. First of all, Ace is a doll. Easiest foster we have ever had or could hope to have. House trained, good walker, goes to sleep in his open crate when…Read more »
Just a quick update on things…everything changes so quickly sometimes in foster land. I think Rebecca may have some mastitis, or at the very least, her teats are very raw and sore and she does not want to nurse the kittens. And feeding them by syringe isn’t going great either, so tonight I put the…Read more »
