Gotcha Day

It's my Gotcha Day! I have a kitty brother named Cougar and a human sister named Erin. I am going to live a couple of streets down from my foster home. My friend Greta has looked after Cougar for several years when my humans have gone on holidays , so I will definately be staying in touch!

My name is Little Whitey.

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:)

Wordless Wednesday

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:)

We Wanna Wish You A Merry Christmas

from the bottom of our hearts!We had a nice day of feasts,snuggles and playing with the YEOWW! stinkie that Santa gave us.

We hope that you have a wonderful day too:)

Love from Fui, Suey, Ronny, Harry, the Weasleys and the humans.

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.

The Many Faces of Harry

Hello my friends. Hermione and I are still trying to find our Forever Homes. Hopefully Suey's Safehouse will get approved for the Pet Rescue site very soon, and then we can get a lot more publicity.Today we went to stay in a crate with our friend Rani (a little black kitten our foster mum introduced you to a few weeks ago) for a few hours while Mum was working. We will keep going with mum so that more people can meet us. Hermione and I are going in for our desexing surgeries in a week- on Christmas Eve! That's not a very fun gift, Santa Paws!

We are disappointed that our first home did not work out. The family had a cat since before their daughter was born, so I guess she developed an immunity early on. Their cat passed away a few months ago, so the intervening time must have been enough for her to lose her resistance and react badly to us. I know that we will find an even better home the second time around! If you know anyone in Sydney who is thinking of adding a kitten to their family, please let them know about us!

Manly smooches:)

Darn

Unfortunately, things didn't work out in Harry and Hermione's new home. One of the daughters proved to be highly allergic, and it was not possible for them to stay. They are now home with us, and we are now back on 'Find a Home' duty. Fingers crossed!

Ronny Licious, House Kitten

Hello! I have now been an out of the crate real for true house kitten for a whole day! My mum said it has gone more smoothly than she dared to imagine. I slept in the bedroom last night, just inside the door. Fui slept on the bed and Suey slept in her ham-mick. Everyone was relaxed, which is very cool. I haven't forgotten to use the litterbox, either! I have enjoyed being a house kitten. I spent time watching my mum help Fui and Suey write Christmas cards last night (which reminds me, if you would like a card from us, please email us at Fui_and_Suey AT hotmail DOT com).

I had a really big play with both this wand toy and the Cat Dancer. Suey even played with me for a little while, which was really cool! After all the fun and games, I had a really big sleep in my mousie tent. It's exhausting being a house kitten!:)

We would like to send the biggest purrs we can muster to our lovely friends Tama-Chan and #1 who are embarking on a really big adventure. We are very excited for you!:)

A Brand New Beginning

Today was Hermione and my big day. Here we are waiting in our carrier, in a cage at the vet. Next to us is the little baby Weasley twins. They go to work with mum because they need lots of feeds all the time. There were a lot of interesting sights and smells there! Our new family came to pick us up from the vet so that all the paperwork could be put in order. They had prepared a room especially for us, and got the food and litter our foster mum has been using so things are as smooth as possible for us.

But before the handover happened, we had a last big play with Ronny! (we will spare you the details of our bath and nail clipping. Needless to say, we looked rather pathetic). Hermione had lots of fun with the jellybean that came from the wonderful Casbah Kitten shop that Grrreta sent Fui and Suey.

Thundering herds of elephants is always a super fun activity.

The camera couldn't keep up we were having so much fun!

Ronny's mouse tent made an awesome hideout. It has windows in it that we could spy on each other through.

We were having such fun together! We were very happy to get to meet such lovely kitties and woofies during our time in our foster home. We know our little brother is in good hands with you all:) Our foster mum will get to catch up with us in one, two and three months from now for our vaccinations and desexing, and she will make certain to file a full report:)

Ciao for now!

Love Harry.
