The boys

Here are the rest of the kids who were with us on the 14th.

Scotty was one of the new arrivals – very friendly young guy, but unfortunately he didn’t last the week, he got sneezy and congested and went back to see the vet.

These three were out and about and played together and nearly all of them also ended up sneezy and congested.  Snuggles, luckily, was adopted quickly and got out of our apparent germ factory.

From front to back: Tazz, Snuggles, and Tazz’s brother Smokey.  Tazz was busy busy busy.  Snuggles was quiet and cuddly.  Smokey was quiet also, and very friendly.  For quite awhile Smokey and Snuggles sat side by side doing nothing, which made me wonder if they were not feeling so well.

Not long thereafter, Snuggles went and crept into the pile of blankets in our cabinet and had a snooze.

Tazz stayed on the go.

Smokey was happy to have a lap, once his buddy in quietness went off to hide.

We also had two other friends with us, who didn’t come out, because they were marked as ready to be picked up.  They went back that afternoon.  This friendly girl was one of them.

Sometimes stuff is just going around, I guess.

Oreo

Oreo was with us for a short time.  We met him for the first time on the 14th, and he was adopted the next day.  He seemed to be a lively and good-natured fellow.  We dug into his folder to see if there were records of him having been previously owned, and found that in his former life his name was Panda.  Whatever his name, he seemed to be a good boy.  He spent a bit of time sitting beside the wastebasket watching the younger fellows having their exercise.

Leo

This guy came in last Saturday and while we didn’t have much time to spend with him, Emmy said he looked like a lion so we named him Leo.  He was adopted sometime during the week.  He seemed to have a very nice disposition in addition to a lot of floof.

Nora

We stopped by PetSmart yesterday to get the news, since we didn’t go there on Saturday.

George seemed to have developed a little cold, I will not be surprised to hear that he goes back to the vet this week.  Three guys we met last weekend, whom I have not even posted for you, went back already to see the vet.  These sneezles and wheezles are really spreading like wildfire.

There were a couple of super-pretty new faces that may or may not be there when we return.  For example, there is a long-haired white guy with blue eyes, about 5 months old, with flame points, and a fantastic disposition.  Handsome!  I’m sure I won’t have the chance to show him to you.

This young lady was one of the new ones who came to us last weekend and she was still there.  I got to see what a sweet cuddler she was, yesterday.  She loved to be held.

She was hard to photograph!  But at least you can see the lovely tail in that picture.

Oops, that didn’t work either.  Well, we’ll try again on Saturday if she’s still there…

George

While we were at PetSmart on Saturday, Last Chance came to deliver some more cats.   We had room for four.

This boy was one of the new arrivals.  I have to say, he stole my heart instantly.  I’m in love with George!

He’s a big boy – he must weigh at least fifteen pounds.  And he’s fifteen pounds of cuddly love.  After the LC driver left and we started greeting the new arrivals, I opened George’s door and he put his two paws on my shoulders and climbed into my arms.  He purred while I carried (or, should I say, lugged) him around paying my other visits, and never once hissed or growled at anyone.  Bring this handsome guy home while it’s cold outside, you’ll always be warm.

Clara

I wish I could report that all five New Year’s Eve cats found homes, but unfortunately not.  Both torties got sick and had to go see the vet.  Sadie apparently felt especially awful.  Ernie, Joey, and Maggie were all adopted fairly quickly and went home.

So, all new friends this past weekend.  This is Clara.  She was something of a prima donna.  She loved attention and was happy to have you come pet her, but what she really enjoyed was stalking around the cat room giving the others a piece of her mind.

She’s pretty, though, so we forgave her.

Baltimore kitty needs new home

I’ve been sent a picture of a 17 year old girl cat named Pumpkin, who needs a quiet home with someone who can pay her a lot of attention. Her long-time feline companion died recently and without him she has wanted more and more attention from her humans which I guess they aren’t in a position to give. She has lived with dogs and is very affectionate. Her owner has promised to contribute toward any medical expenses she incurs in the remainder of her life in a good new home. Please pass the word! Contact us via the comments if you want to help.

Wish we were doing this…

but we’re not…  However, we will be back at PetSmart on Saturday and I hope to be able to report that all the sweeties from two weeks ago have gone to good homes.

Sadie

We had another tortie girl with us on Saturday.  She was less interested in the goings-on in the room than Agatha was, and mostly slept.  When I stopped by to pay attention to her, though, she was happy.

She was short-haired and sleek and colorful.

I do love those torties…

We won’t be at PetSmart tomorrow but I will try to get some kind of status update on who’s been adopted.

Joey and Ernie

The youngest fellow with us last week was Joey.  He was probably five months old, very lively and also very friendly.

He found lots to do around the room, loved to jump for a feather wand, and mastered the art of ricocheting off the wall.

Because he was little and cute and friendly he became Emmy’s pet.

The oldest guy with us was a big orange fellow named Ernie.  Ernie was quiet.  He went to snooze in Maggie’s cage and she went to play in his.

Joey wanted to know what Ernie was doing.
