Warning Danger!

Now a word of warning.... do not stand next to the Cat Coordinator when a poor mother cat comes in overloaded with kittens. This poor girl had about nine kittens with her. Two of them were smaller then the rest. Most were dark in color but one of the smaller ones was a cream color. Hmmm. Most likely those two were from another litter and added to this poor surrogate mother. So they get handed to me to hold... well hold and take home to care for. And in move little Steffie and her brother Bennie. Since they were able to play I am guessing they were four weeks old when they moved in.

Then upon the lands walked a kitten that had an early knowledge of how to rule the world. Her part of the world anyway. I call her Princess BG (Bossy Girl) Supposedly her five brothers were pushing her away from the food bowl and she came to me so I could make sure she was getting enough to eat. Her favorite activity is sitting at the top of the stairs meowing her squeaky meow until I open the door and let her in. Then she raids everyone else's food bowl. Hey, it works for her... and it works well.

Yet another little girl with an URI in need of some tender loving care. Just as she was feeling better and playing she ended up getting a blockage somehow and in spite of my and the vet's best efforts, we lost her. Some people have asked me how hard it is to give these precious babies up for adoption.... that's not the hard part... losing them is the hard part.

Remember the warning above? The same warning applies while the Cat Coordinator is at Animal Services rescuing cats and kittens. These two brothers were under weight for adoption and would have been put down unless rescued. Well, they are far too cute for that! So here they are enjoying their afternoon.


Apparently it's not the end of kitten season just yet. Here's four more new arrivals, trying to recover from their colds and get just a bit better so they can be ready to find their own home.



Now as the last of these kids got adopted, for a brief moment I was fosterless.
