Mom brought home a new little family and they will be visiting for a little while. So, she took some pictures to share.

This is the largest kitten, Sheridan.



This is the only girl kitten, Molly.



Then there are two grey brother kittens, Liam

Mom got this today...

Mom got an e-mail from one of our previous fosters today...

Hi, you might remember me as "Mike," they call me Neo now and I used to room with another kitty friend of mine named "Justin." We left New York for CT in mid April and I now live in Norfolk, CT with two older female cats (who sometimes think I'm OK), and two human types who seem to take pretty good care of me as the food seems to be good and I might have gained about a half of a pound. My biggest compliant though is that I am not allowed outside, unless I am wearing a humiliating harness that isn't very dignified for such a young man such as myself who is used to just running around at will!! I do enjoy looking out the windows, and if a bug happens to get near me look out, as I'll eat him! Otherwise, you can see from these pictures that I'm doing fine and I appreciate your combined efforts to get me to where I am today, which hopefully will be for the balance of my 8 lives, as I know I used one of them up when I was wondering the scary streets of the Bronx last December. Hugs and kisses, Neo

SPOTS!

Mom may not be partial to color, but she does love SPOTS! This is Sam, he has been with us for a few weeks now (Mom wouldnt get off the computer for me to post about him) and he is now visiting us upstairs during the day. Sam is a nice guy, and boy, does he love to play! He plays so much, that Mom has to put him downstairs when she goes to sleep, just so she can sleep.
Sam is a well rounded boy, he can cuddle, be lovey, gets along with us cats and humans, and as I said...play, all in one day. Mom likes having Sam here, she will miss him when he goes off to his new home. But we always get more furr-einds to visit.

Hercules

This gorgeous guy is Hercules. For the most part Mom is not partial to colors, but these orange guys have a special place in her heart. Hercules is a great name for this guy, he has gone through a couple lives so far but he has alot to look forward to from now on. He is so friendly. Mom would open his cage and spend a good while just brushing and giving scritches.

He got trapped under a fence and really hurt his back. You can kinda tell from some of the pictures, that his hair has yet to grow back all the way on his back. Hercules was only visiting for a few days, he is now at another foster-home. He was a nice guy though, and we will miss him.

What Mom found under the Stove

Mom was looking for Dex's new collar, that he was able to get off during the day...this is what she found under the stove instead...



There are 14 mice in that little pile. Mom gave one to Tammy and put the rest away for another day. Mom did find the collar...under the dinning room table.

Tammi Revisited

Poor Tammi, Mom thought for sure that Tammi had found her true home. Tammi had been in her home for almost 3 months, when the lady called to tell the shelter lady that Tammi wasnt fitting in. So the shelter lady got Tammi and brought her back to visit with us for a few days. Tammi remembered us and fit in so well. She will only be here for a couple days, before she goes to another foster, as Mom has too many of us under foot. It was nice to see Tammi again, she is growing up to be a nice cat

Mom has two sick kitties downstairs, so she isnt letting me or the other cats downstairs...well, ok, I have to admit, she isnt letting anyone downstairs because I have figured out how to escape past the humans to the outside when they are not looking. Mom says that I cant go downstairs for a while...at least as long as the sick kitties are down there.

New Arrivals

This past weekend, Mom took all the stuff and "foster cats" to an Adoption Fair thing this past weekend. She took Dex, Oreo, Nikki, Layla and Missy. Missy was going to her new home. Mom said that Layla was going to another foster home, and she brought home Willy instead. Mom said that Willy has been adopted, he just needs to visit for a little while till his Furr-ever home people are able to take him home.

Layla


Willy



Mom had a bunch of cats come yesterday. Most went to other places, thank goodness, but three stayed. Mom says that 2 of them will have a home soon. So we now have

Garfield

Garfield is a part Maine Coon, and he is very skinny. Mom says that he should be as big as Blackie, but when she weighted Garfield on the scale thing, it said that Garfield was only 9 pounds! Blackie is 17 pounds. Garfield already has a furr-ever home, and Mom says that he will be here only a few days.

Justin

Mom says Justin is a special kind of spotted cat called an Ocicat. I dont know though, Nikki has the same kinds of spots but she isnt "special". Maybe once I get to see him a little better I will see his special spots. Justin is a friendly guy. Mom let him come upstairs for his pictures. He loves attention, Mom got some good pictures.

Mike

Mike wasnt so happy when Mom was taking pictures, so she had to take his pictures when he was in his cage. Mom says that Mike had a difficult day and reminds us cats that we need to be nice the first couple days, no matter what the new cats have to say to us. Mike is a nice boy, just a little scared. He has wonderful swirly markings and a white tip to his tail. Mom hopes that he finds his home soon.

Baby, Kabuki and the cold

Tonight, Mom brought Baby to his new home. She is so very happy that he has gone to his furr-ever home. The couple that adopted him are really nice and she is sure that he is where he will be loved for ever.


On not so great news...Kabuki is back with with us. She is having problems adjusting to life in a home...with litterboxes. Hopefully Mom, the shelter lady and the vet people will figure out what it is that is keeping her from using her box the way she should.


Other than that, Mom says that tonight is the coldest night of the winter, and I believe her. All of us cats are sleeping in the nice warm rooms upstairs or close to the pellet stove thing. Mom has put Nikki's favorite blanket on the couch and a nice fluffy pillow thing on the floor for Duke. I will be going back to my perch on the top of the cat tree as soon as I finish this note.

ZuZu

Mom says that she is doing good work. I know that she is really nice. Mom takes in kitties that need new homes and tries to love them till they find new homes. I know that Mom is great, she gives us everything we could ever want (though more catnip would be nice) and she shares that with other kitties. Mom had a little girl kitty named ZuZu this week.ZuZu was almost all white with tan ears and a ringed tail like a tabby. She was nice, but a little scared when I first met her, as Mom had just given her a bath, but later she was just sitting on the couch and I got to say hello. ZuZu didnt stay long, as she was going to her forever home that day. Mom says that we are special cats, but she says that it is amazing the most wonderful cats come out of horrible situations.

Mom brought home Tammi today, from the vet. Mom says that it is picture day tomorrow for Tammi, so I will have pictures for everyone to see soon.
