Success!

Because I don't Adoption Counsel as much as others, I don't always get to hear back about the wonderful homes my kittens have found (yes, they are all mine!). But every so often a staff member or volunteer will pass along a heart-warming story like this one and it will filter back to me, which always makes me happy!

Audrey was a lovely black and white momma who came in with her four big babies from someone who rescued them but was unable to keep them. She was understandably scared her first days here, but fortunately her babies were all bundles of joy and seemed well socialized. They went out on the floor the day they came in and two were adopted to a wonderful loving family right before Christmas!

Wolfman aka "Gucci" and Husky aka "Louis"

Here is the story from the adopter in her own words:

Our kittens are bonding with us and a complete joy! Wolfman (black, tuxedo white bib and toes) has been renamed "Gucci".  Huskey (tabby with white face and feet) is now named "Louis" (like the fashion icons Louis Vuitton and ). The kittens sleep together and play together. They are developing distinctive personalities.

Gucci with his daddy.

Gucci purrs a lot and likes to cuddle on laps if anyone is sitting still. He loves to be stroked from head to tail and enjoys being carried around the house. He is very loving and sweet. He is also very smart and aggessively plays with toys... he'll pick up a fake mouse and run with it in his mouth to keep it away from his brother. He shows good kitty hunting techniques and will try to outsmart the laser pointer...hiding and springing out at it. Gucci usually instigates the wrestling and tag sessions with Louis. He appears to be the more dominate kitten.

Louis with his daddy.

Louis loves to be closer to your face if you are on the couch he wants to be on your chest or under your chin... purring. He loves the petting from head to tail and will put his head under your hand and push up, encouraging you to keep petting if you stop. Louis is more of the follower of Gucci... whatever Gucci does Louis will go along with it. If Gucci takes off exploring in the house, Louis will meow and call out to him and then sprint to where he is at. If he can't find Gucci he is content to be with one of us. Louis is not as sharp or quick when it comes to playing with toys. He'll watch Gucci and half-heartedly join in. If they start wrestling or playing tag.... then Louis and Gucci are more equals. 

Naps for all!

My twins are doing a good job of loving and caring for their kittens. Both of the kittens got "kitty-colds" so we brought them in last week and they got meds. My twins are both taking the responsibility seriously and the each administer the meds to their own kittens (eye-drops, syringe of liquid stuff and then the powder in the canned food). The boys have taken to what they call "kitty-time".... one on one play time or cuddle time with their kittens. I refer to them as "kitty daddys" because they brag about what newest trick or funny/cute thing their kittens have done with their friends. Everyone is shocked to hear that the only thing my boys wanted for Christmas were these kittens. Especially because they are 6'-3" and 6'-5", 17 year olds, who are big and tough, athletic type of boys who play high school Varsity football and basketball.

We are enjoying our new members of our family and we love them very much. I have attached a few photos for you to see and share with the Cat Adoption Team. I especially love the one that my twins insisted we take Christmas morning in front of the tree with their kittens!

Gucci and Louis' other two brothers are still here, but they are on a medical hold and are waiting to go home once they get healthy.

And now for the best part: Momma Audrey was adopted yesterday!

Happy Tails!
