Nathaniel and Mimi are doing good. Mimi still shows some "off-ness" at times where it causes concern. But, she is eating fairly good--much better than when she first arrived. Just from observing at this young age, it appears that both are moderate CH kittens, with Mimi having a bit better control. Both are sweet and love attention.
Big thanks to Peggy for taking care of our foster kittens. Unfortunately, we did lose one of the kittens. We now have names for them.
Bellissima--calico, 4 white paws, female
Kevin--brown tiger with white, male
Amelia--black tiger, no white, female
Schinn--light orange, no white, male
Hamilton--darker orange, no white, stripe down back, male
Sarge--dark orange, 4 white feet, male
The kittens in the back Thumper's Room are just such a sweet load of kittens. Mamas Chloe and Poppy are wonderful and so kind. There are a few kittens that we are worried about--have lost a few ounces. We have been syringe feeding some of them. It's always an extra worry about 5-6 weeks of age--their immunities that they have received from mama quickly drop at this age. We are keeping close tabs on them.
The Cove, The House that Jonah Built and the Playground all look nice. At any time cats can be seen running about and enjoying their great space. It's been a year now since we did the Playground and THTJB. It's been a wonderful addition for the Covies. So much safer!
Pippi, the white CH cat that MKmouse brought from New Jersey is now here and doing wonderful. We got her vaccines caught up while she adjusted to the Cat's Corner Room. She is a busy girl--loves to play and run. She made it clear she was ready to come out into the Main Area---sticking her paws under the door clear up to her armpits! Before the door was latched open, she was out and about! Her CH shows in her head bobs and "jittery" body muscle twitches. Her mobility is great. What a sweet girl. She absolutely loves to play!
We are thrilled beyond thrilled to have our new surgical monitor. The other one we had was great but unfortunately we could not get accurate readings on it. It will be used at a clinic where the bigger pets (dogs) can use it accurately. The new monitor is wonderful, easy to use and is a touch screen. I'm so thankful this was possible to have here at FFRC.
Our area called Bella's Place/dog kennel for Janie and Cammie is being well received by the cats that are allowed out there. It's safe, sunny and fun. There's been several times when there's 5 cats out there at a time!
