New Year's Baby (and lots of them!)

Our friend Fin and her mum are sharing a birthday today, and are hosting a New Years Baby day.
We have had a few babies visit us in the last year. The first newborns came with supermum Stella. She was the sweetest little cat, with such a wonderful soul. This photo shows her with her foster baby Calvin Bunny, a very weak little kitten that she saved with her motherly love. She came to our home with five babies. Unfortunately, one passed away at one day old. We named him Elijah. Our dear friends Siena and Chilli sent us this beautiful photo of a violet in their garden to remember him by.
This photo shows the other four babies; two boys and two girls. We can't tell who is who here, but it shows Ellie, Angus, Pablo and Daisy when they were a day old.This is little Pabs at four weeks, shortly before he passed away. He had such lovely markings, and was a sweet little boy.This is Daisy at four weeks, just before she passed away. She was a tiny girl right from the start, but we tried our best for her and her brother.This is the beautiful Miss Ellie at approximately 8 weeks old. She and Angus went on a big adventure!
This is Angus at 8 weeks.When he and Ellie were ready to find their Forever Home, there were a lot of kittens looking for homes in Townsville. Due to the tropical weather, there doesn't tend to be a kitten season so much as a permanent influx. Meanwhile in Adelaide where they have proper seasons, they had more people wanting kittens than there were kittens to be wanted. So Ellie and Angus formed part of a contingent that flew cross country to find their new homes! Both are now in their Forever Homes.The Hogwarts Kittens were our first Sydney fosters. Harry arrived first, then Hermione the next morning and Ron the next afternoon. Hermione is now in her Forever Home, and is known as Lella. She was named after a kitty that her parents met while holidaying in Bali. Lella and her brother Gomez are learning to get along, and her new mum said she is doing very well.
Harry is looking for his home.Ronny Licious became a permanent member of the household. Fred and Georgie came along nine weeks after the Hogwarts kittens.
Luna was not a newly born kitten when she came to us, but she just had to be included here with the kittens who are almost certainly her siblings. She was approximately four weeks old when she got here.
This is Freddie at five weeks.Georgie still has a pink spot on her head that we put on to tell her apart from Freddie!Luna has been growing really well since we got her flea free and full bellied inside.
We have already received enquiries about Luna and Georgie through our PetRescue listings, which is exciting.
We hope you liked re-visiting some of our baby pictures:)

Happy New Year!

In 2010 we wish you love We wish you health
We wish you happiness And we wish you hope.
Happy New Year from us all!!

Boys Weekend

After all the fun of Christmas, we are spending the weekend sleeping it off. We didn't know it was possible to eat so much Fancy Feast. We hope you're getting a chance to chillax, too:)

Santa Can Stop By Anytime

Santa was very generous to us this year. He left us our favourite noms in our stocking. Virgin Flaked Tuna Fancy Feast and Beef Greenies! We usually refuse to eat any other flavours of both foods, so he did well. He gave us a reindeer woofie toy too. Fui thinks he is a puppy, so I think maybe Santa got a bit confused. The best of the best was the YEOWW! fishie. I don't react to nip very often, but the YEOWW! stuff drives me crazy!

My Uncle Andy sent this super fun stocking full of toys for me, Fui and Ronny, all the way from Wellington in New Zealand. We are letting Harry play with it too, in the spirit of Christmas.

The best thing is that we had warm bodies and full bellies for Christmas. We are happy that the Hogwarts and Weasley kittens are safe, healthy and growing well, and we are thankful for our new brother Ronny. We were terribly excited for little Hermione in her new home.

Merry Christmas:)

I'm Off!

Thankyou for your purrs. They worked! Harry and I came through our surgeries smoothly, and are recovering really well. My surgical site is on my flank, which is something my foster mum has not seen before. Usually, they are on the belly.The incision is tiny, too.

Guess what else? I have a new family, and they are absolutely lovely!!!!!! They spent well over an hour talking with my foster mum and dad and getting to know me. They were keen to learn a lot about me and my personality, and my foster mum thought that was excellent. They had been to meet a few different kittens at some of the shelters, and were looking for the right kitten rather than a cute kitten. That was very important to my foster parents.

As well as my mum and dad, I am getting a new big brother. His name is Gomez. He is five, ginger, and he is from Canada! My dad (who is Canadian) and my mum met him when they were living on Vancouver Island. When they moved back to Australia, Gomez came with them. And guess what else! The place where I have been living with my foster parents is next door to a suburb named Canada Bay!!!! I think that's more than a coincidence!

Gomez and I will be inside kitties. I will live next door to a national park, with big windows to watch all the birds. That is one of my favourite hobbies, so I am very happy to have some quality vantage points. My dad is a firm believer in the magic of the box, so I will have an endless supply!

Fui sealed the deal for me. It was very important for my mum and dad that they brought a kitten into their home who had some experience with other cats, and seeing how well Fui had prepared me got me some major points. My mum said that Gomez loves everybody and believes everybody loves him, so we are all hoping that this will help make our introduction smooth.

My foster mum said that if she had heard much more from my mum and dad, she would have asked if she could go home with them too! They promised to stay in touch, so my foster mum will be able to let you know my real name and see how pretty I grow up to be!:)

Thankyou for being my friends:)
Love from the Kitten Formerly Known as Hermione.

Big Days!

Tomorrow is a really big day for me. I am having my ladygardenectomy, and I have a family that sounds absolutely lovely coming to meet me. My foster mum put our ads up on PetRescue.com.au, and within 5 minutes, she called about me! So my foster mum is in a little bit of shock that it all happened so quickly!

I would really appreciate it if you could send a purr the way of my brother and myself tomorrow. I would love a home for Christmas.

Purrs,
Hermione.

Playdate!

Hi everybody! Today my brother Fui and I had our first for real rumble! It started innocently enough. He was peeking at me from the top of the cat tree and I bopped him on the nose.
He tried to bop me back, but I was in too good a position.Until the big brother moster came down a level! I was still game though!We had a super fun bitey boppy wrestle up on the tree!Fui got a bit of a surprise when he realised what a good wrestler I am. I ended up wearing him out, and patiently watched as he rested.
Getting ready for our next wrestle!
I was the only kitty who went to see Santa yesterday. I was very brave and smooched him on the nose, so I foresee a few Temptayshuns coming my way. We have to pick up the photos on Wednesday, and then I can show you how cute I look with him!:)

Georgie Says...

Welcome to my weekend round up. Literally. Guess what came into mum's work this morning. This little lamb chop, closest to the bottom of the picture. Call me crazy, but I think she could be one of us. A lady found her in her garden (sound familiar?!). She is the same size as us, and seems to be at the same developmental stage. My foster mum is intrigued. We are calling her Luna. She was covered in fleas, which are now all gone. When my foster mum started washing the dirt off her, she had to do a double take thinking she was hurt- there was so much flea dirt dissolving that it looked like blood. We are glad she is now more comfortable.
In other news, Ronny is going to have his photo taken with Santa Claws tomorrow. Part of the proceeds go to help the animals at the RSPCA. He also has another nickname. Meet:
Lishy Lu!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! And here is a funny photo of Suey relaxing in a really weird position. She is still very pretty though. I hope you have a happy weekend.
Love Georgie.

P.S. I hope you wont count me being covered in formula in the photos against me!

Our Plans

This weekend, we are planning on relaxing. Snuggles and cuddles and snoozes sound just right to us.
We're not getting caught up in the craziness of the shopping centres, that's for sure! We'll also be on our best behaviour. Santa Paws is watching closely, you know!
Love Fui, Suey and Ronny.
