home...

tink went to her new (hopefully permanent) home this morning.

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works out...especially since another foster is coming here later today to take over the room she was in.

i'll be picking tink up from her new home in a couple of weeks to take her for her spay, so i'll get to visit with her a bit, which is nice.

pretty mama

tippy has the run of the house now, and is pretty happy about it. he's a nutty one. fun to watch him booting around and playing with the other cats. i was going to start looking for a home for him, but my significant other has expressed an interest in keeping him. hehe.

that's not a bad thing, but it wasn't the plan when we brought these guys home.

the jury is out on it at this point....

though he is super extra cute....

waiting...

there has been a bit of interest from possible adopters for both mama and kitten, but nothing solid. i don't mind keeping them here, but i'm anxious to know if they have homes to go to.

and if those possible homes don't pan out, i need to start harrasing everyone i know. hehe.

i think tink is probably tired of being cooped up in one room. poor girl.

unfortunately, tink's spay appointment was canceled by the clinic (equipment problems apparently) and has been rescheduled for next month.

tippy is doing well and seems to have almost entirely gotten over his wobbles. he gets to spend some time out of the spare room and he has been introduced him to my cats and dogs. he handled it very well. it's fun to watch him explore all the new surroundings in the house.

please read this blog. it's the same shelter these guys came from. i'm doing my little part by fostering from there, but this woman is going above and beyond to save otherwise doomed animals. many kudos to her.

more video...

the cuteness continues...

we've decided kitten's name is going to be "tippy." because he is, and because that was the name of my grandparent's dog when i was growing up and i've always liked that name. it seems to suit him.

pretty sure tippy does have CH, but it seems fairly mild, which is good.

he's got the 'crazy kitten' thing going on now...it's hilarious.

video of his little spaz outs coming soon.

getting bigger...

kitten is doing well. but i have a sneaking suspicion that he may have a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. i'm probably wrong and it's too early to be worrying about it, but you can see in the video that he's a bit wobbly.

only time will tell, and it's really not the worst affliction in the world. i had a cat with CH and she was just fine other than tipping over every once in a while.

here's a video of a cat named charlie with the condition.

thankfully, mom's swollen face got better the next day.

she's got an appointment to be spayed at the end of this month at the ontario spca spay/neuter clinic. check it out. it's super cheap. once she's spayed, she'll need a new home. if you know anyone who might be interested in a sweet kitty, please let me know.

until next time...
