Autumn - decided she would go outside.

My name is Autumn and I'm very friendly
 but I am a torti so I can be moody!
Are those clippers for me?  


Autumn - after a stay at Petsmart and then at Cindy's.  Cindy decided she wasn't going to be adoptable.  Too much work so she is now adjusting to a feral colony and the cats there.   I should find out how she is doing for the colony caregiver.  It's very nice that she had another option.

Autumn is a sweet long haired tortoiseshell stray that was rescued by Arden.  She's adjusting to a different life.  She likes heights.  She is enjoying the rafters in my garage.  She is definitely a torti with a torti temperament and will be best in a house with no other cats or dogs.  She doesn't have dog experience so maybe she'll adjust.  She tells other cats off and if she doesn't get her food fast enough she'll hiss and tell you she disapproves of your slowness.  She is full of life and play at 1 yr old.  She can jump really high after her favorite toy.  Exercising her with play helps a lot cause when she gets wound up she's apt to be more temperamental.  

I definitely like to watch everything that goes
on.  I've got a great view from up here.

I love heights.  I've enjoyed being in the rafters

Do you want me to come down now?
if you feed me I'll be very happy to come down.


Sasha and Charlie - adopt us now

Charlie - yep  talking
Sasha and Charlie were trapped as ferals but they definitely aren't feral.  They will be put up for adoption but they can go back - but be outside where they were.  The owner has an elderly diabetic cat so these 2 can't go back in.    I thought they were mother and son then mother and daughter.  Sasha and Charlie are Charlie and Sasha.  Confused?  So was I.

Another female is Sweet Pea is not feral either and has been spayed and will be available soon.  I can't tell the difference between the Charlie and Sasha except for size.  Actually the M on Charlie is more pronounced.

Sasha is a major conversationalist and wants attention.  Charlie is now more laid back and enjoying HIS nice warm bed.  Sweet Pea I haven't seen yet but is a silver tabby.  I'll be updating this blog as soon as I get some pics uploaded.  Sasha has been hard to photograph because she is constant motion.

Charlie's tabby M on his forehead is a little better defined that his mom Sasha.  Sasha is a talker very friendly and a live wire.  Reminds me a little of Elmo although Elmo is more in your face.

  Sasha
Sasha cooperated very well with Cindy investigating her privates.  We were told she was a boy but the person who trapped her didn't investigate her privates.  I suspected girl because 1) her pee isn't pungent as boys are 2) she's not got the muscular physique that a 9 month old unaltered male would have 3) where are her male parts.  Her butt coloring made it hard to find if she was a he they are way to small for his age.



Moses -adopted

Moses is a black and white - almost a tuxedo.  He's declawed 11 years old and a very sweet cat.  His owner had a stroke and decided he and brother Odie (7 yrs old) were just too much to take care of?  They kept one cat - their favorite.  How much care do cats really take?  I wonder if it was just an excuse.  His age might make it more difficult to adopt.  He met Pepper and asserted himself sending Pepper jumping up on the cat tree out of reach.  A little of the old turn head and growl and each other.  He didn't like me spraying him and growled at me but he has recovered.  I guess he thinks a good defense is a strong offense.  Pepper has recovered from the introduction too.

2/1/2015 - He definitely has issues with other cats and keeps trying to go after Pepper.  Moses stresses himself out and Pepper isn't doing anything to instigate a conflict.  Pepper kinda looks at him from a distance as if to say - what is your problem.  Pepper knows I won't let Moses do anything to him.  I don't think either one knows that Moses is declawed.  Moses is trying very hard to use the scratching pad.

2/12. He has made himself right at home and has taken over the bed.
