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.

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!


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.
