catching up ...

Little Delilah is in a home .. a great home .. with my mother - her recovery was amazing

She is a very puppy like cat takes things in her mouth and runs around the house ..
Poor Mum has terrible allergies she's fighting with every thing all of us can think of but she adores Delilah so is really trying to make it work

We've had cats come and go
darling Rumour moved in with my dad .. it's going very well .. Julia is keeping her company for the moment but will come home when we get a chance to connect

Big O went to a fabulous home .. he's now known as Jasper
Lilo moved in - a little Orphan Kitten Syndrome cat he had some aggression issues - I'm not sure he is adoptable in the classic sense but he sure is cute and sweet

Grace went to a great home (she's now known as Magnolia and doing SUPER too)
Chelsea came to us though she leaves this week .. for a trial home - cross your fingers it works as she deserves life as a princess :)

we currently have two darling little tripod kittens - black and white and cute as STINK .. they are hilarious and so charming too .. they need names .. I'm thinking about Hope and Vision after a work thing .. or Equity.. or Capacity ... something will gel soon I'm sure

Nando is aging before my eyes - losing weight but charming and darling as ever ..can't believe he's gone a full year with an embolism sitting in his heart - talk about a ticking time bomb

Bobby's mom says she might be able to take him back - great if it works but he's very happy where he is now

oh my ...

Frankie and Lily are up at the store for adoption - so sad to leave my scared little Lily there - but I have been assured and assured that they will call if there is a problem and they can come home that very day ... we missed our kitty thunderstorms last night - as they race around the second floor when we get home

Coma Kitten continues to do well - he's now eating, a little, on his own ... he's still blind and tiny but he surely is a fighter

Kala is doing OK - she doesn't really like canned food - tough for a lady with no teeth but she seems to be starting to eat kibble a little - amazing!

Moved a lovely big polydactal out of the shelter, black and white - he's just a sweetie pie .. he'll be next for the store adoption spot when the siamesers are in a home

also took a mom cat and two little kittens to Shelly - cute and tiny, all three just make you grin

have a new cat coming our way too next week - lovely grey tabby - maybe 9 months old - with mild neurological impairment - probably the same cerebellar hyperplasia Flopsy Mo has - but much much more mild ... as of this moment his name is Arely (means brave)

the never ending cycle of rescue work ...

Nando is still hanging in - he sleeps really hard at times but is still engaged interested and social and able to get to the counter for meals without any help at all most of the time.

more nando news

Nando is feeling much better today but the news wasn't good. He had an embolism and there is a large blood clot sitting in his aorta waiting to break free and cause another "event". He is, and I quote the much loved Dr Au here, "is a ticking time bomb". Very scary though I'm glad he's feeling better. More sadness in the future it seems - and I don't need a crystal ball for that one.

dear dear Nando

Isis (Nando's's sister), Hank and Nando sitting on Tom's lap ...

collapsed last night - and is still wobbly wobbly

Cardiac ultrasound booked for tomorrow - and I hope we can help him and give him some real quality of life. He is a wonderful cat - social with everybody -easy going, sweet with other animals of all species.


Truly a character. He's 16-17 and an old man - he's seen a lot in his life I think - he carries wisdome with him and the younger animals all look up to him.





think good thoughts for another dear soul ....
