Cheeks

Our dear sweet Cheeks has been adopted to a wonderful family. If this wasn't good enough news it is the same family who adopted, Baby (now Noel). We have been blessed!

Cleo


Although we have been busy with the Angels, I have also been overwhelmed with worry about my dear Cleo. He is my kitty and has been for about 13 years. He developed what the vets believe is asthma about a year ago and he had a very bad week last week. I really did not believe he would still be with us today but he is. He was experiencing breathing difficulties all last week but over the weekend he was extremely distressed and was rushed to the vet. They injected him with steriods and antibiotics (in case of any underlying infection) and prescribed and new asthma medication that I got filled at the pharmacy. He hates (and I do mean hates) taking any meds and fights it with everything he has. The vet cautioned any stress could put him over the edge so this was tricky. I was able to get the meds in and still am but it is not pleasant. Today he ate a tiny bit and is finally resting and purring on his heating pad. I had to sleep with him and pet him till he finally let himself sleep. It's been a very rough week.

Angel's surgeries

The Angels have all been spayed now including Mom, Abigail. They seemed to have weathered the surgery just fine and are back to their old selves. Playing and eating. It's been 4 days so safe to say "all is well".

Jasper...a new man cat!

I am happy to report that Jasper (aka Big Boy) is home and doing very well after his neuter!

We are so proud of you Jasper for "doing the right thing!". Lucy (aka Fluff) will be next but after the holidays. We will keep you updated.

Happy and safe Holidays to everyone and Peace and Kindness on Earth.

It's been a long time....

Sorry for the lack of updates but I have had a very busy and interesting few months. I know there is no excuse for not updating but as luck would have it, it has been a challenge since my computer crashed and I was told "Buy a new computer" by the Geek Squad because it would be too expensive to fix the old one. Easier said than done since computers aren't exactly small purchases. Next best thing...my sons old computer refurbished...somewhat. And as said before I am blessed with a new job that I absolutely love but not without some unfortunate glitches and setbacks. But still I feel blessed to be where I truly feel appreciated. With that all being said the kittens are growing into gorgeous cats and are outgrowing their "room" so I am hoping to put the adoption search into full gear. They recently went for their 2nd vet visit and Abigail is going in January for her spay. Doctor Andrew was so patient and thorough with all of them including Abigail and he is a true cat lover and I love him for that. He is just a genuinely nice guy. I will try to post some new pictures. Meanwhile check out the two below. :)

Hannah and Bunny....


Hannah is still fostering three of Abigail's Angels who need special loving homes. Big Girl who is a very quiet and beautiful cat. She has a unique wrinkle in one of her ears that gives her a distinct look. She is big and very shiny and elegant.

Cheeks who is very vocal and sweet as sugar. She has a cute and sassy personality!

Bunny who is very warm and calm. We think she just might have a home!

We are happy to say that Lucy (aka Fluff) and Jasper (aka Big Boy) are loving their new home together and are spoiled and pampered....

Baby (now NOEL) has found a very special home with a very beautiful kitty friend, Shiloh, who welcomed her and is her new Big Sister.

We can only hope the other Angels find as wonderful homes as their siblings.

Lucy (Fluff) and Jasper (Big Boy)

Just a quick update on our two lucky kitties who were adopted together by Meghan's family. They are doing great. They love their new home and have adapted wonderfully with the two family dogs. Their favorite spot is in the rocking chair next to the wood stove cuddling together and sleeping with Meghan (under the blankets!). They are very fortunate to have been adopted by this family. They are wonderful pet parents. I will have to get pictures up soon.

The lack of updates have been due to the new job and also helping Hannah with college applications. It has been an extraordinarily busy time in our house and I can't wait till we all have some down time to just enjoy each other :)

Great news!!!

I am so happy to announce that Fluff (now Lucy) and Big Boy (now Jasper) have been adopted by a wonderful family and the best part is that they are together and they have a terrific home! Hannah and I took the two this morning to their new abode and waiting for them was the exact kitty "boat" and the kitty play center they had here at their foster home. Their new family wanted to make the transition as smooth as possible and it went amazingly easy. When we arrived they got out of the crate and started sniffing around and Jasper was almost immediately comfortable. Lucy took a little more time but wasn't very long in following her brother in exploring every corner. We stayed about an hour and by the time we left they had curled up in the "boat" for a little nap. Last report was a few minutes ago that they are fine and are adjusting to their new surroundings.

I am so grateful to the new family for opening up their home and hearts to these adorable kitties! We will keep you posted.

Goodnight for now.

Great news!!!

Day of Transition

Today will be a big day in the foster home. Big Boy (now Jasper) will be going to his new home at Hannah's best friend, Meghan's house. It's not definite but we think they are considering adopting a second Angel. We are soooo excited that we almost can't believe how lucky we are because they are wonderful pet parents and we have no worries with them at all. Plus Hannah can visit and watch them become adult Angels. How could that have turned out any better?

Even with all this joy Hannah had a rough night last night. She and I spent a lot of time with the kittens last night and then I let her have some time with them alone. When she came to say goodnight, she was filled with tears. We knew this would be difficult. It is so hard to see them go but we know these (two?) will have the best of care and an amazing home.

It's going to be a good/sad day.

Bye for now.

Abigail's Angels

Well it is about the time to seriously be looking for furever homes for our little Angel's. They are eight weeks old and are growing and healthy and will soon be outgrowing "their room" as there are seven cats now living there. Momma and 6 growing kittens. Hannah and I have talked extensively about how hard it will be to say goodbye but we know this is why we are fostering.

We are happy to say that we are keeping Abigail (Momma). She had such a tough beginning in life and she has become a part of our family with her big heart and loving personality.

We have homes for both Bunny and Baby Boy and we are thrilled! So we so desperately need to find the perfect homes for Fluff, Baby, Big Girl and Cheeks.

Peace and Love,
Monica
