Some days ...

Are good days ... today I was busy at work in the am and busy with animals in the late afternoon/evening. Pulled 4 mice, a hamster, 3 kittens in one group, 2 kittens in another group and a lovely adult Siamese from the shelter this week. The hamster and mice are in homes. Seems quite sure the Siamese (and Delilah) as well as at least 3 of the kittens will be in homes by the end of tomorrow. An amazing day's work. (Add a Spaniel puppy leaving Monday, and a long haired chihuahua leaving tomorrow (cross your fingers) and it's been an incredible week already. I would be hard pressed to tell you the last time Project Jessie had more than 10 adoptions in one week let alone the last time I facilitated many of them. (Though I suspect it would be the All About Pets Show in March of 2007 or 2008) This is our newest Simple Soul. A flame point Balinese he is about 3 months old and just as cute as can be. He is impaired but it's a pretty mild impairment so I'm hoping he will grow into himself and be able to find a home. He is very friendly.

He has a sibling. She is healthy, happy and full of joy. I suspect she'll have a home by tomorrow.

Two of the baby rabbits we did a Year of The Rabbit photo shoot for. Darling and so well behaved!

Another freebie shot of a gorgeous kitten. On a sad note we pulled a LOVELY sweet Persian from a high kill shelter today. She was riddled with cancer and sores and had to be PTS this afternoon. Poor lady. I'm so glad her last hours were spent in a loving home having her mats groomed and getting scratches and love. My heart aches for Shelly and the cat having to go through that.

Today's beautiful pictures brought to you by the talented Judy Au.

Delilah

Delilah needs help. A kind stranger caught her, brought her to a vet clinic who called us. She is skinny, dehydrated and had an obvious hind leg injury.
She has a break consistent with with a bite. The break is bad enough it will require EXPENSIVE orthopedic surgery, then a long period of recovery. She's a young cat under a year old and sweet as can be. I hope we can help her.
She's safe and warm at the clinic while we rally forces to help her.

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.

cats settling in

the fosterlings are settling in well- really well .. TOO WELL - we don't need cats - especially young happy adoptable purebred cats - but nobody is knocking down the door looking for them either ... I hope you can see how blue Lily and Frankie's eyes are ... Coco let me spend quite awhile (in Coco terms anyhow) grooming her today - was a nice bonding moment.



Coco has taken over a new cushion on a new chair. She lives for Temptations Hairball treats - LIVES for them . very funny to watch her make nice just in the hopes you might shake her out a treat!




boy the camera phone is great - it's quick; it's easy and even on dial up I can get the pictures to the blog but I wish they were better pictures.. however - here are Lil (Lily) and Frankie - both have brilliant blue eyes..
