Hambone---the kitties and cats received their Thanksgiving hambone. It was quite "meaty" but within 18 hours, it was stripped to the bone. They love to chew on these bones! Even the babies and Giovanna got into the fun of it!
We have names for Monique's 2 babies. Monique is doing great. She and her two babies have been moved to the top two pens in the back Thumper's Room. She is a great mama. Both babies doubled their birth weight in 1 week.
Cornelio--silver/grey tiger & white/ASH, wh tip tail, male
Rocky--black tiger & white/ASH
The Persian babies are also doing good. They are finally all eating from a plate--that helps Singita a lot. Some of the babies have had their families visit them and so has Singita. All are on hold. We are already getting them use to being groomed. They are so fun to watch--they run now and so loved to be held! They are "pokier" in gaining weight and so will be with us for a while yet. They are down on the floor now full time. Bruno is there with them--he loves them and they love him. He's their Grandpa!
We also took in another 4 kittens. These kittens were found up a tree, on a flat limb base, 10 feet above the ground. Three kittens were there, the fourth had fallen all the way down before the family was able to retrieve them. They had seen someone driving past slowly and then they saw the kittens in the tree immediately afterwards. Their names came from the Name a Cat list. They are 4 weeks old with a birthday of 10/26/18. All are sweet and very talkative.
Ponce de leon (Ponce for short!)--black tiger/white, ASH, male
Pendy--brown tiger, ASH, male
Piperjo--black/white, wide white nose crest, female
Pickles--black, female
The two kittens that Auntie Peggy is fostering are doing great. They came yesterday to get caught up on treatments. Agnes, the grey tiger/ASH, is now 2.01 lbs. And Jacob, the black/white, is 1.08 lbs. Both are sweet, ornery and growing! Won't be long until they come back to stay.
We do have BOXES here that are unopened. With Thanksgiving, we have gotten behind. We are going to try for Monday but not sure of time as Monday is a busy day. I'm sooooooo excited to get these opened!!

We've had adoptions! Let's get caught up!
11/17--Teg was adopted! He went to a great home. I've already seen pictures and he looks so very happy!
11/17--Binx was adopted. We found an outside home for him where he will be very happy. They have many barns and a warm room for all their cats. They can come in and go as they please. I've checked already and he's staying close.
11/20--Lamani was adopted. This family has waited about 3 weeks to be able to adopt him since they were moving. He's going to be well loved.
11/21--Becky and Bronco were adopted together! They had picked out Becky and then couldn't resist Bronco. I'm thrilled they got to go together.
11/24--Kerfuzzy was adopted this morning. She is going to Illinois. Her mama has lots of time to devote to her. Kerfuzzy will have a cat friend in her new home.
11/24--Peppi and Clara were adopted together. I'm especially happy about this. Clara is our 3 legged tiger who is very very shy. But that is ok with her new family--she gets to be the cat that she is. And Peppi, our CH dark orange female, also went! We took a while to place Peppi as I always want to make sure any CH cats that are adopted use the litterbox 100%. And she does! Peppi will blossom in this home--she's awesome but will do even better without all the kittens around her.
Tomorrow starts our November Fun-Raiser! We are very excited about this Fun-Raiser. It ends at 9 am on Wednesday. We will have BOXES at 3:00 with the Drawing immediately following. We also have consolation prizes!
Have a super weekend!
