too cute ....

Sampson was pretty worried about cats when he first arrived
Cotton was VERY worried about dogs when he first arrived

Apparently they are over that ;)

changes a foot ...

a little catch up seems to be in order ...

Rumor lives with my dad

Delilah lives with my very allergic mum

we have Bobby who is supposed to be going home this month but after a year in foster care you'll forgive me for my doubts ...

we are living with 2 tripod kittens (Peanut and Cotton) just darling little souls who aren't at all limited by their handicaps

kala the toothless himi princess is still ruling the kitchen island - she won't eat wet food and she rarely eats kibble when there is an audience - it's hard to figure out how she is still with us

and of course Julia and Nando belong here :)

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

more sad news for the kitty who couldn't walk ..

she can't stand either

she has a broken pelvis too - so even post surgery she'll need longer crate rest than would be the norm for this surgery :(

poor honey ...

donations aren't exactly pouring in either - but enough people are giving to restore my faith in humanity ....

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.

rumour ...

is just delightful ...
she gives me hickeys regularly
she chases the dogs
she has both black and white hair to shed on us

but she is simply a charming sweet soul


Arley is an angel
handsome, affectionate, great with the dogs and cats

between them they are bring a great deal of happiness into the house

Cats Galore

and finally named the newest infant a week into her arrival

Rumour .. tiny feisty black and white - maybe medium haired kitten .. just hilarious
she has a heart murmur - which we hope she outgrows but there is a rumour she might not... which may mean we have a kitten (a TINY kitten). The last kitten we had from tiny that lives with us is Flopsy - funnily enough another black and white cat! Flopsy is at leats 12 now - and spent much of her formative time in the nursery with her mom. She wasn't very mobile as a kitten so it's a bit of an eye opener having Rumour tearing around, up and over whatever she wants!

Arley looks like he's staying too ... we've never had a grey tabby, a HUGE kittenish, love bug of a cat - he is adorable - nice with the dogs, the kitten, Nando and the witchy cats who try to scare him. He has a strong prey instinct though ... scares me with the bunnies and birds a bit...
