Lots of work these past few weeks! We sent Ghana and Kitkat (now Kafka) out to their new home. Chiroru , now Leo, will be adopted by his foster family, and the 2 remaining siblings from this group are now being considered by a couple for adoption. We're a bit over the number of kittens that we still...

A lot has happened since I found Rose on Aug. 21st. My neighbor had agreed to keep her until I found a place to move. Two months later she decided that she did not care if I found a place to live or not she wanted to keep Rose for herself. I felt so upset, sad and betrayed by the foster. I had been paying...

A recent cold snap has gotten us in a hurry to begin winterizing the enclosures. Time to insulate the beds, set up heaters in the inside areas, and make sure that everyone has access to a warm nook! Special needs cats have moved inside completely, and of course the youngest of the kittens are staying...

Who's the Belle of the Ball? Who's everyone's favorite cinderella/princess/snow white? But who's the Fairest of them All, now? Shorty?

As it turned out, one of the new rescues was in fact an old TNR . It was Nozomi , who had apparently moved locations. Without ear-tipping, and given her common coloring, we actually had to take a new photo and compare it with an old photo to be sure. David was the first to guess, and even then, it took...

Merci that little mensch of a dog has come on over to the land of fun o'plenty! Yes, along with failed fosters: Parker, Zephyrella and longtime fam members Scratch & Topaz, & step sister, Teak, we're giving her the usual treatment. Work, work, work! Who's Sitting? Every Journey Begins...

Cold worse this week, so home from classes Wednesday. David came back from Tokyo Monday, after a successful trip! 7 kittens to homes, 4 in foster placements, 2 of which are being evaluated for adoption. Willy and Alice went to Paul and Kyoko who are pulling out all of the stops in providing these two...

Got new pictures of Buttercup and Blossom in their new home...It sure looks like they are happy kitties, and that makes me happy, too! David is getting ready to take the next bunch out to new homes this Sunday, which is fortunate, since we seem to be filling up again. 3 more young kittens from the new...

New rescue on Friday...I was on the way to the store, before heading to class. I saw a young black female cat sitting near the big road, on a wall at the corner of a parking lot. I could see that someone had put down a food dish previously, but there was no shelter nearby, and the cat was crying continuously...

Poppy has been a bit better, though still not moving around much. She's been able to at least stand up and walk to her litter box, and can reposition herself in her bed--2 things she couldn't do a couple of days ago. I got up through the nights on Saturday and Sunday, to check that she hadn't...

We got off to a good start this week, on the Shinjuku tnr project . We've been hearing regularly from the couple David met with. They were able to use the Revolution that we gave them to treat the cat with scabies, and the 2 rescued kittens seem to be hanging in there. We're trying to work out...

Tango went to his new home in Tokyo today, taking along his favorite blanket to knead for comfort! Yes, yes, they're all cute and they're all sweet, but honestly some are just a tiny bit more. He's a doll baby--loves to be held, loves to sit on your lap, and purrs like there's no tomorrow...

Gorgeous day today...sunny and breezy...some might say windy, but not me! I love a blustery day. Off from classes today, other than a Halloween party prep meeting. Decided the grass in the kitty grass baskets had gotten tall enough to hang the baskets near the perches, and the new idea was to hang them...

Got back from ARK on Monday ( pictures from our visit... ), just in time for my classes. Have been running ever since... Chobi came back from the clinic on Tuesday. She's doing much better, as she isn't as drippy, but she still has problems digesting her food. The vet said that there is no evidence...

A new stray showed up near my classroom building, so we trapped him on Wednesday and will have him neutered Sunday. Not a happy guest! He managed to get out of the first cage that we put him in by squeezing through the bars. Those cages are actually made for dogs, but we haven't had any problem with...
