BATTLE OF THE SEXES

I've been fostering my current batch of kittens for two months now. They received their vaccinations today (which went ideally, according to the vaccinator), but I just found out that who I thought was a girl kitten is not a girl (Ukulele) and who I thought was a boy kitten is not a boy (Piccolo). The vaccinator examined the kittens from head to toe to ensure that the kittens looked healthy enough to vaccinate, but mentioned that the genders were wrong on the kittens. 

When kittens first come into the care of VOKRA, they can be too young sometimes to determine (with absolute certainty) their gender. I never thought to check that their intake sheets were correct. I just assumed that they were.

So, now I have to re-train myself to refer to Ukulele as a boy and Piccolo as a girl.

Ukulele and Piccolo have already been adopted by VOKRA volunteers. We just have Bongo to get adopted now. I'm sure he'll be adopted in no time flat as there is a wait list for these kittens.
