Sunday Celebration

We have some wonderful news to share with you! All four of the Ginger Ninjas that our friend Greta was fostering have been adopted.We also have some great news about the Darcy family.Little Lottie has been adopted! Hansome Henry has been adopted! Adorable Alice has been adopted!

We are thrilled for the lovely little fluffballs, and wish them all the love and happiness they can handle in their Forever Homes. Hooray! :)

The Newbie

This is the new little kitten who is staying with us. He doesn't have a name yet, because we are still debating whether he is a boy or a girl. Mum think he is a boy, but as she is notoriously bad at sexing a kitten, that doesn't mean much! The little one has had a very quiet weekend. He is eating ok, but mostly likes to just curl up and rest on something warm. Mum is under the blanket in these pictures. He will go for a little wander around the living room, but is not interested in playing or running about. We think he is just conserving as much energy as he can in order to gain some weight. He did make it up onto the couch on his own for the first time today, which was a bit exciting. He will go into the super vet who gave Lishy a good bill of health this week, to see what she says. The pictures are a bit deceptive, as his coat is so thick. He is terribly thin.

We do have some great news about the Ginger Ninjas. Greta has been able to get them into the adoption program at the super vet, where they will be desexed, vaccinated and microchipped before looking for their new homes. This is awesome on two counts- they will be well looked after and get everything they need, and it will not require the resources of the shelter. Hooray! :)

Have a good week, everybuddy :)

Happy Birthday Dad!

We have news on the Ginger Ninjas! All four are doing well. Mum's initial attempt at sexing was incorrect (now where have we heard that before...) and there are really three girls and a boy in the litter.

This is Noo-Noo and two of his sisters warming up infront of the heater after a bath. He got his name from the vacuum cleaner on the Teletubbies, because he is a little piglet kitten! He is the biggest in the litter. This is the third sister.

The best news of all is that after the first night, the little ginger (below right) who had a slightly runny eye cleared up completely. In the last two weeks there have been no signs at all of the flu- no sneezes, no runny eyes and no runny noses. That makes us very happy.

Today is our Dad's birthday! He got two cakes, because the first one didn't taste all that good! This was the first one, a sponge cake that we tried to make look like a tractor bringing in his jellybean harvest. The sponge was a bit overdone and there was a bit too much icing!

This is the one we made him today. It is his favourite, a black forest cherry cake with milk chocolate ganache. That should keep mum quiet for a while... MOL!

My Favourite Spot

Hi everybuddy!
Fui asked me to say a very big thankyou for all the kind Gotcha Day messages. He had a lovely day and we gave him lots of extra snuggles.I would like to say thankyou to those who gave my a vote in Kitty Fight Club, and send a very big concatulations to Snafu. Good luck in your next round :)
I have been spending lots of time relaxing in the ham-mick. In the photo below, you can see how much I have grown since I first started hanging out in it!
I have more good news on the Ginger Ninjas. They have names now! Tinky-Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po. They have been with Greta for a week now and are doing fabulously. There have been no sneezes or runny noses, and the little ginger boy's eyes have cleared up. We are very glad that they are with someone who is taking such great care of them.

Have a really fun week:)
Love Lishy.

Suey Sunshine's Halfway House

Back in action! Yesterday, a couple brought two little girl kittens that their woofie had found in their garden into the clinic mum and our friend Greta work in. It is comparatively rare for a ginger kitten to be a girl, so these two are a bit special. Mum brought the girls home after her shift to get them cleaned up, wormed, and flea free, before they went to Greta's house where they will stay in foster care.

About an hour after mum got home, Greta phoned her to say a lady had dropped off another pair! These two were boys, and were the twins of the girls. They were found in the same laneway, so are clearly related. The little ginger boy had slightly runny eyes, so the boys and the girls are being kept seperate for the moment, while they are pumped full of immune boosters. In the 24 hour period there has been no sneezing or nasal discharge, and no crusties formed on his eyes so we're hoping something just irritated his eyes. This is a picture of the boys having a snuggle with Greta after they were cleaned up. We think half the fleas in Sydney were living on this family! Greta reports that all four are eating well, and seem very happy to be itch-free and warm. There was lots of rain last night and most of today, so we are glad they are safe and warm inside. We're hoping they will be able to go to the Cat Protection Society when they are old enough to be desexed, but if the little boy has a kitty flu we will do it privately to make sure it's not passed to the other kitties there.
