Clifford

Oct 1, 2013


I dont remember the details of how I got Clifford.  A very sweet cat (2016)  When I put his food and water into cage he hid in his carrier. Came out quickly after and is sitting on top of carrier.  Wish I had left him there.   they could have done him today and I could have picked him up today.  He is fascinated by eve and viceversa .  I think he'll be fine with other cats.  Once tested if I don't put him up right away i'll get to know him a little better.   I'll call the gal who surrendered him and get more details. 

Bella - - adopted

 She's thinking about chasing after Eve.  Stalking mode...

The scratching board has become a nice little bed.

Eve - adopted

Eve looks like an adult version of Sparkles

Eve loves her box of newspapers

 March 2014 - Eve was foster by a loving home for 2 weeks and they adopted her.  yippee!!

Eve is a tortoiseshell.  She is a little shy but loves attention and to be brushed.  She takes a little time to warm up to people but once she has she's a little love bug.  

Eve loves the box she claimed that stores the newspapers for the cages.  She is such a sweet girl

 I took her pic just as she yawned.  She is such a cutey pie and a sweet cat.  As a torti she does get temperamental but she'd be a great addition to your home.

Sept 15, 2013  - Eve is  Mary's foster and I get to take care of her.  She ran out of her time at Petsmart.

She is in her cage and her reaction was to hiss when put her in there and then when Bella was out and about - she hissed at Bella.  Bella just looked at her with no reaction.

Eve and Bella - adopted

 Here are Bella - the calico and Eve - the Torti.  Eve is more shy when it comes to other cats and Bella can be somewhat bossy but I think they are getting along pretty well for cats that don't particularly care for other cats. 

Bella is very fascinated with Eve who is just ignoring Bella. 

Bella sees Eve and is thinking about taking off 

after her

Bella is now looking for Eve who is kind of trapped near the freezer. 

 Eve's response to Bella was to hiss once and then run across the room.  Bella didn't respond in kind and just ignored her

 Eve claimed the box where I store the newspapers for cages.  This is the first pic I was able to get with both of them looking up at me.

Horse - Adopted

Sept 28, 2013 - Horse got adopted!!!!  

Horse - I love this little basket

Horse

Horse - isn't he cute.  His eye is still recovering

Horse was in a litter of 5.  He had an eye injury which was treated.  These photos are when he was still recovering.

Star - adopted!

Sept 29 - Star was adopted!

Doesn't Star look so cute with her pink collar?  She's a little cutie runt.  Is this a giant litterbox behind her?

See a previous post is on these Star and her 4 siblings.

Star, princess, flower, flamingo and horse

Horse (bob tail)

Star (runt)

Five Kittens that came from the shelter - orphans nursed by adoptive mother and then fostered about 3 weeks before I got them.

Princess (F)- adopted 9/14 at the Petsmart Adoptathon - silver tabby with a regular tail
Flower (F) - adopted 9/14 at the Petsmart Adoptathon - silver with a bob tail
Flamingo (M) - solid grey - adopted to family with 2 big dogs.  I think he'll be fine.  He didn't react adversely when nose to nose with a small dog in the Petsmart parking lot full of dogs.  A golden retriever - leader dog put her nose right up to the cage and the cat didn't react at all to her.


Star - (F) - the runt of the litter - a brown tabby full of energy very vocal and hungry.  She got special treatment cause she's so tiny.

Horse (M) - grey tabby with a bob tail - has an infected eye from a wound and is still having eye drops - no I didn't name him

They were named by a young child where they were staying.

9/14 - Star and Horse went to a new foster.  I'll miss them but they'll get lots of love and attention.
9/14/2013 - Princess, Flower and Flamingo got adopted!

We have estimated their birthday 7/27/2013.  

Snow White - adopted

Snow White has been Cindy's foster but I had the privilege of taking care of her so I guess she was partly my foster too.  A sweet sweet gal.  Rescued as a stray with 3 kittens.  She's about a year old and is great with people.  She can be wierd with other cats - perhaps a legacy of having lived outside and having to compete for resources?  who knows.  She does great with people and with kids and she'll be a great companion.  She's a little skittish when she doesn't know you but warms up very quickly to strangers.    She loves attention!  She had fun playing with a litter of kittens that I had.  I didn't let her out for several days with them until I had an idea of how she'd be with them.  She kept trying to pat them and play with them when they got close to her cage.  Eventually I let her out with them.  One really liked her and chased her around the garage and she'd then chase him.  It was fun to watch.  Three of the kittens were adopted at Petsmart yesterday 9/14/2013.  She went to the adoptathon also but wasn't adopted.

She is a jack russell cat I think if such a thing!!  jumpy energetic and playful and a moody female.  

9/27 - She was adopted by an enthusiastic family and will be the 3rd.  The other 2 cats are 1 1/2 female and a 4 month old female scheduled for spay surgery on 10/13.  I love enthusiastic adopters.  She had been waiting for me for an hour to do the adoption. 
 

Bella - available NOW!

Bella is actually Mary's foster but I'm taking care of her.

She is sweet, friendly but has a calico personality which can be moody and temperamental but full of character.

She seems to not like other cats much and takes a little time to adjust.  Hissed even at me initially but I think that was because of the other cat and kittens.  Having time out to run around, she has warmed up considerably.   She also had 24 hrs to herself which she has enjoyed.  She has warmed up to the kids next door and comes when I call her.   She loves to be brushed - on her terms - and will sometimes want to play with the brush too.   She loves heights as you can tell from the pics.

She chases the laser pointer but tires easily because she is carrying extra weight which I'm working to get off her.  When she was up at Petsmart she over ate from boredom.  She'd be a great addition to someone's family.

Mark - available now - at Petsmart NN

Sept 8, 2013 - Mark is just about 5 months.

Mark is actually Cindy's foster but I've enjoyed having him.  I had the fun of taking care of him while Cindy was on vacation.  He's the sweetest boy.  Was really shy but has really gained confidence in the last couple of weeks that I've had him.  Like his little beard?

The flash of the camera shocks him but he's the cutest sweetest playful kitten.  He ran into Julius's cage while Julius was eating and proceeded to put his head in the bowl.  Julius let him and didn't object or tell him off.  Mark had seen Julius was with the other kittens - Sparkles, Athena and Angel so I guess he decided he could trust Julius.

Hey mom what is this whipper snapper doing in my cage.
Eating MY food.  hmmm....

Sparkles aka Sparky - adopted

Sparkles was a feral kitty trapped on Great Springs Rd near Smithfield.  She was scared initially as you can see in the pic below which was taken day one. She warmed up quickly and in about a week was begging for attention.  She was one of the three siblings.  The other two are Athena (black with a little white) and Angel (a grey tabby).

One of the first kittens I've had that was decent in retrieving - whether a little mouse or a ball.

Her adopters could not be happier with her and I'm so glad.  She definitely looks content in this picture.

This is when I first got her.  Look at the fear in her eyes.  She has come a long way!  Angel is in the cage next to her.  

The 4 P kitties - unavailable

Patches, Pirate, Peaches, and Pepsi.

Sad news.  the kittens I have had for several weeks were tested today and found to be positive.  One had already died - Patches.  The other 3 tested 9/5 were positive for FIV.  Their Dad was positive for Feline Leukemia so we knew the possibility existed of them being positive for FLV or FIV was great.

If the parents had only been TNR'ed they would never have been born.  They were all loved immensely in the time that I had them.  It is near impossible to find homes for FIV+ cats and waiting until they were 4 months old to retest was really not an option.

MR Kittens June 2013 - adopted

Sparkles, Angel and Athena.  friendly as can be ready for forever homes.

Sparkles - is the attention hound -
a torti with quite a personality.
Very vocal

Athena - you taste very good.... Angel.
Sparkles is just watching

All three are adopted to great homes.

July 26 - Sparkles was spayed.  Athena and Angel are at Petsmart.  Angel adoption will be finalized tomorrow.   Athena has a good potential.  Either Athena or an adult is my thought.  Young child who has experience with puppy, rat and hamsters and really wanted Angel - a grey tabby but Athena was so much more outgoing and friendly climbing all over everyone and into everyone's laps.  Being black she'll be harder to adopt but she is also the perfect kitten for them.   I know I'm one of the few fosters who will adopt to families with small children but I felt pretty good about this one.  I like to give families with childrens the opportunity to adopt if the children are well behaved.  I still haven't figured out my sister was when we adopted our first Ginger.  I was 4 when we got Jaguar (black lab puppy) so Linda was only 2.

June 2 - Two feral kitties trapped June 2.   June 9, third sibling trapped.  Sparkles (torty) , Angel(tabby) and then Athena (solid black).

Sparkles and Angel (named by Danielle)

Athena - day one.  wounds from fight with cage

Sparkles on the left and Angel on the right on June 2, 2013.  Now Sparkles is the one out of the litterbox and Angel is the one who likes to stay in it.  Athena to the right was trapped June 9, 2013 and this is her first candid shot.  He's pretty relaxed but is probably exhausted from fighting the cage.

what was that flash?  I startled them all.

Here they are playing

Time to play
