Updates (really)

 We got a few updated pictures recently....

The kittens formerly known as Selkie and Gargolye from the Mythical Kittens (now Jovie and Buddy). As you can see they are very helpful.

We also got an update on Langford from the Spartan Kittens now known as Quintin. He is doing well and his mom and dad are actually looking for a new companion for him. Nobody from here as they want someone closer to his age and size.

Our last update is from kittens we had back in 2014. We get an update once a year or so from their mom. They were the orange kittens here and now Ike and Izzie. Ike was diagnosed with HCM which is a heart disease. He has an electrocardiogram each year and this year they got the news that he is getting worse and they increased his meds. He could go down hill quickly or they may have more time with him - there just isn't a good way to know how he is going to do moving forward. So please spare his mom and fuzzy sister some purrs. 

We love updates...

Do those faces look familiar? Top picture is Jovie (formerly Gargoyle) and then Buddy (formerly Selkie).

Mom got a text from their mom asking if the rescue could use towels. It seems a certain cat dad turned all the good towels like green when he washed them with a beach towel. MOL

The kittens are doing well. Jovie is smart and curious. Buddy seems to be a few fries short but is super sweet. His favorite game is bopping his older sister Zeta to make her growl. She doesn't do anything else, so we are pretty sure he now just does it for fun.

Zeta did decide the kittens were hogging all,the lap space however, so she just sat on Benny when he wouldn't move. Good job girl!!

Stuff

Mom got an update from the family that adopted Sparta now Elliott. As a reminder, he was a birthday gift for their daughter. She is 9 years old now and Elliott is her buddy. They sleep together every night. He waits for her bus to get her home after school. And this past Saturday she was making a movie that required him to wear some business attire.

Mom also ran into Dragon's new mom last week. She is doing well....and discovered their piano. She isn't very good and won't be getting much practice since they are remembering to leave the top down now. She discovered it about 11:30pm one night and danced around on the keyboard.

No kittens yet. Could be a while....but stay tuned.

Still here

They were spayed/neutered the beginning of the month. Mom went on a quick vacation, so the plan was they would go back this week. There was an adoption event on Saturday so mom kept them around for that. Dragon seems to have stopped sneezing (yay) but Wyvern has some....digestive issues. Since mom doesn't want him here alone, they will be here for a few more days. They are available and on the website though.

While mom was gone, Wyvern discovered the webcams. He grabbed one and pulled it down to face the wall. So helpful that boy.

Really lady?

Dragon and Wyvern should be ready to go probably after the first of the year.

Dragon is a little sneezy sometimes but not bad.

Wyvern seems to have developed a fur issues. We have the rescue checking on it and started treating him for suspected mites just in case.

Mom found this shirt (ok...made for a ferret) and put it on him. He was fine with it for the most part though it bunched up at his belly. He doesn't need to wear it and mom took it off after a few minutes, but he was pretty cute.

Random Fridays

Yep - all the toys in the world and they play with the box the food came in from the store.

Santa hat

Mom found a Santa hat....

Wyvern and Dragon were unamused

adoption news

If you didn't see it on social media, Gargoyle and Selkie went home TOGETHER on Friday. Another volunteer shared a picture of Gargoyle with a friend who showed another friend who was interested. They have a 16 year old calico girl cat at their house so there was a conversation about single kittens and Gargoyle being a bit of a big personality.

They decided to take both kittens and we know it will go great. They went home Friday night and we got an update on Saturday already. They had decided to let the kittens out into the house. Zeta (the resident old lady cat) was a little growly but nothing serious. Gargoyle was out and about and curious. Selkie was a little more reserved but we have no doubt he will come around in a couple of days.

Santa pictures

Mom took Chanel and Gargoyle on Saturday to have our favorite photographer take Christmas pictures.

Chanel isn't a fan of being held so mom needs to watch that for next time, but she cooperated.

Gargoyle wasn't too sure about that Santa, but was cute for the pictures.

Miss G was spayed on Monday and is doing well. She is all ready to pack her bags for her next adventure!! (Stay tuned....)

Weekend report

Selkie went back to the rescue on Saturday. He wasn't happy about his new roommates but seemed to adjust fairly quickly.

Gargoyle will be going today to be spayed.

Mom met with a nice couple on Sunday to introduce them to Gargoyle. They had expressed some interest after seeing a picture from a friend of a friend. They have a very senior girl cat and mom expressed some concerns about sending home a single kitten with an older cat. After talking to them, they had been discussed taking a pair as well. Mom suggested Selkie since he had been with Gargoyle already here with us. Mom kitten-napped Selkie back from the rescue on Sunday to meet his potential new family.

Gargoyle and Chanel had an adventure on Saturday and went to meet Santa and have pictures taken. Since it was easier for mom, they went in the same carrier. They were fine on the way TO Santa but decided to curse each other on the way home. We will share pictures as soon as we have them.

In other news, ROOMBA GOT ADOPTED.

Mom wasn't there for the whole thing, but she got to see Roo on Wednesday and Friday which was great for mom. Despite what seemed like forever in our medical department for URI and ringworm, she came back to the adoption center her friendly and outgoing self.

Kitten report

 

Wyvern

 

Selkie

 

Gargoyle

 

Dragon

 

We would love to give you better (less blurry) kitten pictures, but they won't hold still. Gargoyle and Selkie are ready to go and just need to get on the surgery schedule. Wyvern and Dragon just need to gain a little more weight.

Selkie has become very sweet. He still takes a couple of minutes to warm up, but once he is ready, he is very lovey.

Wyvern is also very people oriented and wants to be right in your face.

Dragon is lovey, but after being medicated by mom for a while, she is a little hand shy.

Gargoyle is.....a character. Mom knows that using "negative" words is bad for adoptions. But let's be honest - that kitten is just ornery. She is cute but it is her way or the highway.

Holiday travels

Mom went to visit her family for Thanksgiving. Since Dragon and Wyvern are much smaller and the pet sitter was scheduled for once a day, mom decided to take them along with her. She took the Sturdi crate and set it up in the back seat for the kittens. Plus she figured it would be a safe way to keep them contained in her parents' house.

See? Custom baby jail. Though if you look closely, the one door is rolled up. After a couple of hours mom decided to let them out to run around a little bit. The crate is nice but not enough space for active kittens to run off some energy.

They quickly discovered they could climb the crate, walk across the night stand and sleep on the bed. Mom was going to leave them out all night but Wyvern wouldn't leave her alone, so they slept in the crate.

Friday night mom went over and spent the night with the kid (her niece). The kittens - especially Wyvern - loved all over her.

Grandma and Grandpa's dog decided to help with the decorating for Christmas.

Random Fridays

 Guess what?? Our boy Cipher was adopted on Wednesday. His new dad saw his picture and description online and put in his application. He was approved and met Cipher for the first time on Wednesday. After some time in our medical department, Cipher has become quite the chunky monkey. Mom handed him over and Cipher was immediately was rubbing on Z and gave him a kiss. It was love at first sight.

Selkie is becoming quite the friendly playful boy. He loves to play with Gargoyle though she is definitely still the boss.

Dragon is still a little snotty and felt the need to share with Wyvern.

Selkie and Gargoyle are be enough to be almost ready to go. The other two need to gain some weight so they will be here a little bit.

kitten report

The kittens are doing well. Mom needs to get weights, but Selkie is probably well over 2 pounds. Gargoyle is probably very close if not over. The other two are not close yet. However with Thanksgiving coming up we doubt there will be surgery spots open soon so they will be with us for a little bit longer.

 

Gargoyle

not sure if she is going to hide the clippers

or is going to try internet dating

 

Selkie

he has gotten to the long and leggy stage

he is a little shy but once mom grabs him and loves

on him a little bit, he is ready for lots of attention

 

Wyvern

a little reserved but very very sweet

mom was a little worried about him this week but he is eating

a lot more this weekend so hopefully it was something minor

 

Dragon

she is still a little snotty but SO much better

she is playing with the other kittens and demanding

2nd, 3rd and 4th breakfasts and dinners

Mom is going to have to do some work on a write up for Gargoyle. She definitely needs a home with no very little kids and an older kitten willing to kick her butt. She is sweet but she is very sure she is the center of the universe and is a bit of a dictator. Mom now has multiple scratches on her hands from a certain tuxedo kitten.
