Rough start, but we're okay now!

Everyone was adopted!

All went to wonderful new homes, mine included (cough, cough). My husband adopted Ethel, the tortoise shell kitten, as she was NOT happy being in a cage at PetSmart, so he came and "rescued" her Sunday morning from the PetSmart adoption center, where she is now thrilled to be back at home with us, our 3 other cats, and 2 dogs (she doesn't necessarily like the dogs, but tolerates them). She just wants to be in the same room with her humans, and if it's where the dogs are, she'll take them too.

Fred was adopted by my vet, and seems to go to work with him often.

Lucy went to a nice lady, who fell in love with her sweet face.

Ricki, who was also unruly at the adoption (both she and Ethel hissed, growled, spit at, and scratched their potential adoptors), was adopted by a lovely woman, along with a male kitten named Hoagie. She completely understood that Ricki only acted horribly because, like Ethel, she hated being at PetSmart, where it's noisy and unfamiliar.

I am now fostering 3 ringworm kitties, who are quarantined in my "kitty room". There are lots of toys in there, and all signs of ringworm are slowly subsiding. They are sweet, and will be ready for adoption in the next month or so.

Forever homes still needed!

We are happy to report that at the Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions event this weekend, 7 kittens went to new homes, however we are still available. Many people looked at us, but we think that because we weren't active like the other kittens, we may have been passed over. Unfortunately, we are not thrilled with being in a kennel (we are so used to having use of our foster familys' entire house to run and play in), so we aren't terribly happy and playful like the others who are used to the adoption events.

We will be at Petsmart (see prior diary postings for address) every weekend, and will go home with our foster family during the week (our mom will volunteer at the adoption events until we are adopted).

Available 7/5/08!!!

We are available for adoption at PetSmart through Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions, here in Las Vegas (check website, or past diary entries for the address).

The good news is that our brother, Fred, was adopted Wednesday, by the vet who performed his neuter surgery!!! Yea!

Our silly sister, Ethel, pulled her spay stitches out this afternoon, and had to be rushed back to the vet. What a dummy! She'll be on antibiotics for a few days, and MAY be with us on Saturday (her foster mom is worried about her getting the proper care, so she may stay home).

And, it turns out that "Ricky", is actually "Ricki"...oops...yep, a female, not a male (our foster mom isn't terribly good at sexing an animal, obviously).

We hope to find a new family Saturday or Sunday!!!
