squirrel visit

the shelter where i work called asking if i could transport a baby squirrel to a wildlife rehabilitator. i had 'significant other' pick this little guy up from the shelter and we had him for the night. he was fed and kept warm before being delivered to the rehabilitator the next morning.

a short visit, but it counts as temporary fostering i guess.

sorry the photos aren't the best, but he didn't sit still for very long, i didn't have the best lighting. and, he was covered in fleas so i didn't want to spend loads of time trying to take his picture. heh.

oliver is still looking for a home. i've basically flooded the internet with his story, but no takers as of yet. he's really not happy being stuck in our spare room. he wants to be hanging out with everyone giving love all the time. poor oli.

tink was spayed at the OSPCA low cost spay/neuter clinic. the surgery went well and she's settled in nicely to her new permanent home. her new owners are smitten with their new kitten. yay! i can't thank them enough for taking her...

and tippy is growing like a weed. he's completely nuts and keeps us highly entertained. our cats are getting some serious exercise with him around.

fun times...

oliver

so...jury came back. tippy stays.

first time in thirteen years that i've kept a foster. not really my decision, but hey...he's cute. i told hubby i still want another persian (i'm slightly obsessed with the one we have now and would like to have a herd of persians) and he's okay with that. so all is right with the world.

now, meet oliver.

he's now occupying the spare room. same day tink left, he moved in.

he originally came from the oakville humane society where he spent a year in a cage. while in the shelter, he was diagnosed with feline leukemia. it's hard enough to find homes for healthy cats, and not having a proper quarantine area for cats with these types of viruses, he was marked for euthanasia. he was honestly the most friendly, affectionate cat i'd ever met, so i intervened, took oliver home and started the campaign to find him a home. (i would have kept him myself, but the virus is contagious to other cats)

after spending a short time in my spare room, a friend of mine saw the video i made of him (below), and decided she wanted to adopt him. she had oliver for about a year when her living circumstances changed and she was forced to return him to me. so, he's back in my spare room, and is again looking for his forever home.

here's a video of oliver that i made when he was still in the shelter.

you can see how friendly he is.

if you know anyone who might want to adopt him, or you would like to open your home to a super amazing kitty who truly deserves a good home, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

i'll get some more photos and some updated video of oliver soon. he's even more friendly now if that's possible.
