Hello... Is anybody home???

 We're baaaack! Can you believe it? I apologize for the extreme SLACKING on my part. I know it's been a vacation and a half since I last posted >.< Forgive me?? LOTS has happened, but now I'm ready to get back int he swing of things!

 So let's catch up on things, shall we?

 I am sorry to say that the last five babies that were posted are dancing in kitty heaven with all the tuna and sparkle balls their hearts can desire. Kipper brought home Feline Luekemia and I took a hard hit from the news. This played a great part in the wind being taken out of my blogging sail.

 After a very short break, I have continued to foster(duh!). After all, this fostering business isn't just for the fun of playing with adorable babies. These little (and big) buggers need me!

 'Kitten season' is almost at a lull right now and I have not had too much going on here. BUT, let me remind you that the term 'too much' almost doesn't exist in my fostering vocabulary. So of course this means I only have a couple of fosters ;) One being a very stinkin' cute Netherland Dwarf rabbit of only 10 weeks! Wait til you see it! >.< Pics are coming soon (as my batteries charge) I promise! The other is a sweet older kitten of about 6 months. She was brought to the shelter and although there were a few interested people wanting to meet her, she wasn't having any part of that. After spending several days in the cattery, she was not getting any better. All she wanted to do was hide in her little box and protest anyone daring to come close. I, of course, took that as a challenge and brought her home. She surely would not find a home with that attitude.

 This little girl as been with me for a few days now and I'm slowly making her like me (whether she wats to or not!) =) Needless to say, she's coming around! Today was the first day I was able to get her to play with toys. Speaking of playing, she's running through the kitchen enjoying the quiet nighttime here while she can. I think she's going to be a normal loving kitty in no time. Oh and did I mention she's an adorable polydactal baby!?? ;)

Thanks for the tuna mom!
No name yet. T'will come soon! Promise.
Stay tuned!!

The Fab Five

 The babies went in with me to work yesterday for their weigh-ins (my scale said kaplooey ;( ) and I can't believe how much they've grown! Kipper is still the smallest by but golley he's only a coupla of ounces behind! It's funny how only 2 of them are 'true' siblings yet they've all found a way to catch up with each other and are now all within 4 ounces of each other! This will make it to where they can all be fixed and adopted out at the same time. WOOT!
Kipper has plumped up to a hefty 1pound 9 ounces! That's over a pound more than he was 2 weeks ago!! GO KIPPER GO! The others are a wee bit ahead from 1lb 11oz - 1lb 13oz. I'm such a proud momma! The fatty err..biggest is Lulu! She was only 15 ounces when she came to me! I'm happy to see them fat and happy, but of course this means they're almost ready to leave the nest. At 2lbs they will be big enough to be fixed and find homes. As always it's tough to let them go when it seems so soon, but as a foster parent , my job is to plump them for their forever families and let them fly. XOXOXOX
As for now, enjoy some more adorable kitteh pics!!     >^.,.^<







Until they all have homes...

The Ugly Duckling

 The first few days I had Kipper, everytime someone met him all they could comment on was how 'ugly' 'weird' or 'sick' he looked. I even joked about him being the ugliest kitten ever. He sure was a piece of work in the beginning. He was definately the ugly duckling of my batch... BUT, I knew someday he would be a beautiful swan ;)


And beautiful he is!


and he KNOWS it! =)


Not only does he look like a normal kitten, he has spunk like any other kitten too!


Go Kipper, Go!
