Kisses Update!!

 Kisses' new mommy emailed me to let me know how she has done in in her new home. She is doing GREAT! She has settled in and run around the house like the confident kitty she always was. She met her new doggie friend and fellow kitties. Her family was hoping she would be buds with the doggie since he adores kitties and the others in the home aren't too interested in him. And of course, she didn't disappoint! She immediately ran up to him and played with his tail =) I knew she would make some family so happy. i am eager to hear more about how she does as she grows. You're such a dazzling little girl Kisses!! I love you!

Goodbye Kisses

Yes, it's that time.

 Kisses was adopted today!

 I am happy she has found a family but am so sad to see her go. As many of you know, she was a truly special little girl and I will miss her dearly. Today was exactly 12 weeks after the first day i met that adorable little girl. After many trips to and from work with me, many lap naps with her, several struggles and sleepless nights of bottle feeding and all, I can say I would do it all over again just to savor those precious moments again. But...she deserves her forever family and I have to think of her, not me.

 I am confident that this girl went to a wonderful family and I am hoping to get updates and pictures of her as she adjusts to a new home. She will have a doggie friend and 2 other kitties to live with. I think she will enjoy it all.

 I will be sure to share any updates that I get from her new family. Good luck Kisses. I hope you have a wonderful life baby girl!

Full House!

 I have been slacking on keeping you all posted on the kittehs here. This is NOT because there isn't much going on.

 Everyone knows Kisses right? ;) Well she got spayed and is waiting for her furrever family now. i will be keeping her until they come along. She is doing great and growing like crazy! She's still spunky as ever, as if nothing ever happened. No worries about this girl, she's a tank!

 As for the other little ones...


There's Lulu!

This little one came in by herself a couple of weeks ago. I quickly found her a friend...

It's Tolley!

He came in the same day as Lulu. They were both lonely sin gletons crying for attention. So I gave them each other, and brought them home ;)

Then...

TWO MORE!

Mackenzie and Cherry!

(tortie)        (orange)

These girls were irresistable. Just a wee bit bigger than the previous two. But barely! I had to bring them home too! Unfortunately, these guys were all a bit too small for me to leave at the shelter overnight, so I either had to find a foster for them immediately, or take them myself. And of course...I TOOK THEM! =)

What an adorable little family! look at Kisses playing Big Sis! =)

I'm a Big Girl Now!

Kisses is growing like a weed, whether I want her to or not. I can't believe it, but she is over 2lbs now! This means that she has reach the milestone...the top of the hill...the time to find a family of her own. I knew this time would come, but boy does it seem like it came too soon!

 Kisses has been one special kitten. I've fostered kittens from birth to adult cats for over 5 years now. I have fond memories of them all, but every once in a while you get one that just has something more. Kisses is definitely one of those.

Let's relive her journey...


Kisses came into the shelter at a mere 2 weeks old, by herself, no momma...no siblings. She was brought to me carried in a coworkers shirt. Of course everyone knows that I am the major sucker for these eensy ones. I saw her adorable little face, her bright eyes, and pudgy belly and was instantly smitten! I couldn't help but take her home. Unfortunately, the alternative would have been euthanasia.

I brought Kisses to and from work with me everyday for several weeks. She became a celebrity amongst the shelter employees. Everyone always asked about her, held her, kissed her and oogled over her cuteness. I fed her during my breaks an she had lunch with me everyday.

After having Kisses for a couple of weeks, Dog-A-Thon came along. We met the itty bitty kitties and spent some time answering phones at Laurie's..

Kisses was the teeniest kitten ever on the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee's Dog-A-Thon fundraiser set!

Even Laurie adored Kisses! And with her camera and amazing photography skills she captured the cutest pictures of my little one!

Kisses wasn't even a handful of kitty yet!

Kisses was off to a slow start, being orphaned so young, and it took her a bit to pack on the pounds...err...ounces. But after a few weeks she was developing into an adorably pot bellied little angel!

She quickly went from all head..

To all belly...

As she got bigger...

And bigger...

And BIGGER...

Now here we are, a whole 10 weeks after our first meeting, and little Kisses has grown into a sweet, spunky, independant little stink! And I love her to pieces! She deserves the most amazing family and I will have her until they come along. Wish her luck!

Kisses, I love you!

The Best Of Griffey

So handsome

Kisses has to show who's boss

i don't think Griffey is at all intimidated

I love this boy!

Kisses Cuddles With Camden

At first I thought, OMG how cute..Camden fell asleep on the couch and looked so precious. Then I realized Kisses was laying with him and about squeeled to death! Is this not the most precious thing ever! She figured this was the only oppurtunity to catch him holding still for a bit. =)

Life Can't get any cuter for me =)

Breakfast At Kisses'

 This morning I awoke to a screaming Kisses' demanding breakfast. I whipped up her normal A/D (high-calorie canned food) and KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement). She has been resistant to be anything but babied, so she's been bottle feeding. She usually sees that bottle and goes to town immediately. She will down half a bottle til' the bottle is collapsing from her not letting an ounce of air in. This morning she suckled for a bit and then insisted on chewing on the bottle. So I thought, Ok...you wanna be a big girl?

Try this...

But what's this momma? It smells familiar..hmm...

I'll give it a try!

My baby Kisses actually lapped up some 'porridge' this morning! I can't believe it! She only did it a few times and is still wanting to be a spoiled little baby with the bottle, but it's a step!!

GO KISSES GO!!

I'm a big girl now

Kisses is growing so fast now! She has steadily been gaining about an ounce a day. She is a (not so) heft 14.5 ounces now! She even used the litterbox for the very first time yesterday! I am so proud of her!

Now that she isn't wobbly anymore, she is quite fond of being let out of her crate to romp around. She has got quite the spunk! She will scratch on the scratching post, bat around toys and bite your fingers!

What will she think of next!?

Tater Tot Kisses



Yes, that's Kisses swallowed by Tater fluff

Now that Kisses is getting a bitsy bit bigger and doesn't wobble quite as much, she has met the resident pets. They all know she is here, but Tater Tot (my purebred Peka-poo-chi) has been DYING to smother err... I mean meet her.

These two were instant besties!

Who doesn't love some Kisses and Tater Tot!??
