BATCH #23 - GIVE THEM SOME SPACE

While I was out and about, riding my new e-bike with hubby, I received a call from my foster coordinator that a mom and her 2-week old kittens (5 of them) were at Operations Centre and if I could go and pick them up today as VOKRA doesn't like to have unvaccinated kittens at Ops. 

I was told that Mom was a bit scared and hissy. No problems for me as I've dealt with my fair share of scared and hissy Mom cats and kittens. Give them a week or two and they'll be loving all the cuddles and kisses that I'm sure to be planting on them every minute of every hour of every day of the week/months that they will be with me.

Looks like these kittens will be long-haired majestic beauties!

Can see the fear in her eyes?


Let's see how long it takes to turn her into a cuddle bug.

BATCH #22 - ABSENT MINDED

I can't believe I've fostered a whole batch of kittens and TOTALLY forgot to post about them here. I'm a prolific vlogger on Instagram, but obviously totally absent minded when it comes to my blog. My apologies.

Batch #22 arrived on Sept. 25, 2020. A mom with her 5 kittens (all boys). At the suggestion of my sister, I named the kittens after the Backstreet Boys. I tried my best to get the kittens to match their namesakes.

What do you think? Did I do a good enough job?

Howie


Kevin


Nick

These kittens were all really sweet (but aren't all kittens?!?). The two in the 'Pink Nose Club' received a lot of comments about how truly pink their little noses were. So boopable!

I thought it was adorable when my little nephew asked me why AJ was so 'angry'. I had to explain that AJ wasn't angry ... that's just how his face looks. 

RBF - Cat Version

I had this batch longer than normal as they were going through diarrhea issues.  So, instead of them being adopted out at 10 - 11 weeks, they were with me for an additional 2 weeks. 



Nick, Brian and Kevin were adopted out as single kittens to families that already had cats at home, while Howie and AJ were adopted out together to a family with two small children. From the updates, these kittens are very much loved by their new families.
