Prim's and her litter - updated

Great news! Thus far, three kittens from Primrose's litter have been adopted: Agent 5 (now Dinah), Spitfire, and Drake!

Primrose has been spayed and is up-to-date on shots, and is now available for adoption! She gets along fantastically with my resident cats, so I truly believe she will prosper in a home with other cats. Her disposition is nothing short of lovely, endearing, generous, affectionate and overall she's just a wonderful little girl. Prim's about 8 months old and has been deemed healthy as per our veterinarian!

Spike's a hoot and a half :) He's a curious explorer, very energetic and spunky. He too, like his mama, is affectionate and loving. Spike's getting along wonderfully with the others - fosters and my resident cats - and is healthy and happy. With his energy level, being around any positive stimulus and companionship will be, I believe, a good thing for him - including other cats, children, and I believe he'd do wonderfully in a home with well-trained dogs.

Ronna is a sweet and fluffy little cuddlebug! She has always been the explorer in the group, and her buddy (I often call them twins) Spike is her favorite to be around. She also absolutely adores her mom, Prim. I do believe however that Ronna would prosper just as well in a home with or without her brother or mom. She's adjusted fantastically to the changes in her environment (I integrated her and her family with my resident cats) and is getting along with everyone in my home. She stands up for herself, wrestling with her brother or my cat Tiny, chasing/being chased, etc. Ronna has NO problem putting a kitty in his or her place - she hisses when she's being bullied or to get out of a scuffle. I really like that in a girl kitty :)

All of their pictures can be found here, and I'd like to get more updated shots up soon.

In the meantime, again I have provided the veterinary care for these animals happily and only as for loving, forever homes - free adoptions! Feel free to contact me via e-mail if interested, of if you know of anyone who'd like a wonderful, beautiful, healthy and happy kitty!

Available kitties for adoption!

What a great experience with our second round of fosters! Just like the first, we had six overall - the first was Lil' Bro and his sister Rue, and Sammy and her three babies Fatty, Patch, and Stripes. We were a bit surprised when Sammy gave birth, but joy took over when the three beautiful, healthy kittens came into the world, and ultimately found Forever Homes. Every one of them were adopted, as well as Rue and Bro. Sadly, Sammy got very, very sick, and though her spirit is with us always, losing her is, too. That one was so hard. But, we learn, we grow, and we give that love to those who come to our doorsteps, when a friend calls and asks us to take in another foster, and so forth.  I'm still working on Sammy's Will, and actually I'll be at The Best Kept Secrets Craft Fair hosted by Chloe's Paw, selling jewelry and possibly some t-shirts to raise funds and continue to provide food, litter, and veterinary care for my fosters.

Presently I have four kitties available for adoption: Prim (mamma cat, about 7 months old), Spike, Agent 5, and Ronna. Spitfire was delivered to her Forever Home on Halloween, and Drake's joining his new family next week.


Spike is 9 weeks old as of this updated post (November 8th, 2011), and is vivacious, exploring, social, affectionate, litterbox trained, and on solid food (and a great eater)! He's full of life and energy, gets along extraordinarily well with others, and I've let him hang out with my resident kitties at home and he reacted very well. He's an awesome boy, and very well-adjusted.

Ronna 

Agent 5, Spike and Ronna are available NOW! They have received veterinary care and have a clean bill of health, are litterbox trained, socialized, and come to my adopters free of cost. My primary concern is finding loving, caring, Forever Homes for these little tykes!

Now, onto Primrose!

I shot video of Prim on the day she delivered - this was several hours before she went into labor :)  You can see the babies moving inside of her!

Clearly, Prim came to me VERY pregnant, and very thin. In the 8 weeks I've had her, she's made remarkable progress physically, is eating well, digesting MUCH better (she had some wicked gas and loose stool when we took her in), and is finally jumping up on the desk by the window - it took her about 6-7 weeks to get to that point! Her joints are healthy, and our veterinarian gave us a thumbs-up on her check-up! I'm very pleased to say that she weighed in the healthy weight range, which is SUCH a relief!

As Prim is still a bit swollen from nursing her litter and I still want to see her put on more weight, I'm giving her body time to recuperate from the trauma its been through, and waiting about another month before she's spayed. With that being said, she'll be available for adoption in roughly five weeks or so.

Here are some pictures of the lovely Primrose!

Prim is an amazingly sweet little girl! She's the kind of kitty that is so overjoyed when people show up - she runs right to the door when we go in, and loves getting pet and loved on! She's very affectionate, with her young and with adults alike, and will tolerate me holding her for a bit. I'm thinking once her nipples return to normal, she'll tolerate being held even longer.

Primrose and her litter

I took in our newest foster, Primrose, on Friday, September 2nd, and she gave birth to five healthy, beautiful babies the following day!

Everyone's doing wonderfully and Prim's getting lots of love, attention, affection and nutrition. My good friend Julie gave me the heads-up about this girl and it's been a pleasure fostering her. Prim is a gorgeous Calico and very affectionate. She's already adjusting wonderfully, doesn't pine to get out of her room, takes fantastic care of her babies, and is eating like a horse! She's already putting on weight (she was underweight when we took her in) and behaving herself.

Here are some shots of Prim and her litter!

As always when I foster, I do not charge for the adoptions, and I'm happy to answer any questions!

I take feral cats in because it feels like the right thing to do, and I'd rather they come to me, receive care, veterinary check-ups, and a safe environment as opposed to risking life in the wild, or end up in a shelter. Not to discount shelters - they are wonderful organizations and I've done a good deal of volunteering with them - but I'm yet another grassroots organization that pops up when furries in need come to me. I can handle a few from time to time, and luck smiled on us when the space in our home and hearts for this mother and her babies.

Any help spreading the word about these lovelies is appreciated!
