Streach
may 24th
Streach is a long sleak shor haired torti, she is pregnant and is in forster care for 10-12 weeks depending on when she has her babies. Streach is a shy/timid girls, she gets on ok with the other cats but is a little timid right now. She is being sociolized and is less fearful then when she arrived and starting to become more affectionate, being pregnant in a new home can be scarry for a shy girl sometimes. Streach has almost an oriential short hair look to her and is chatty however at this time we believe she is just a long legged DSH.
Tori Tora
May 24th Tori's kittens have all returned and been adopted, Tori is waiting to be dry enough so that she can be spay before going up for adoption but is looking for a home of her own. She is a very friendly, social and outgoing kitty, she gets along with cat savy small dogs and other cats, although prefers my mothers older neutered male best (he is a more mellow personalty then her younger spay female)
April 12thTori and her little babies, there they are just 1 day old! All her "kids" are little boys, so far they have yet to be named. They are now about 3 weeks and have thier eyes and ears open, they are all starting to get out of the box and walk around a little. The babeis are very fat! Mommy Tori has lots of milk for them and is a very good mom. When the kittens are asleep she loves to get out and play. Tori has gained some wieght since she had her babies. They'll be starting to try a little canned kitten food soon and I am sure that Tori will be happy about that!!
I will have new photos of the kittens at 16 days old soon.
March 24th Tori had 5 little kittens last Saturday! She had 2 orange tabbies, grey tabby, grey/white (tabby?) and a dark kitten likely black and white. So far all babies are doing well and are growing in leaps and bounds! We'll update when we know more. Tori is a very proud mom! She is acitve and when the kittens are asleep between feedings she likes to get out and play some herself, she is still young too!
March 13 Each day Tori gets bigger and bigger, she has started to show some nesting behaviour (fixing blankets in her box) so it should be very soon.. updates when they arrive!)
March 9 Well Tori is very pregnant and due any time now, she now had her nursing box set up and is staying in her room at night just incase, she is also a little moody which happens closer to the end of the of term. I will update when I have any new news!
March 4 Tora was very sick with URI for some time but is now feeling much better. She needed lots of extra attention and even some force feeding to get her well. Tora was on medication for her URI and now only sneezes once or twice a day. She is a very affectionate, follow you around, "pick me up and cuddle me" type of cat. Tora loves to be pet and have chin scratches and purrs all the time. She also seems to be ok with small dogs, it seems as if she might have lived with a dog in her past? However she has become very "pot bellied"!! My mother sent in a fecal and that was negative, but when I went to visit her tonight I took a look at Tora and she is very PREGNANT!!
Tora is going in for a vet check to confirm tomorow and will be returning to foster care till she has her kittens and they are 8 weeks old and can go up for adoptions.
Feb 26 Tora is a 2 year old DSH torti, she has URI and is on medication and lots of care right now but is getting better each day and more active now that she is feeling better.
Penny Lane
March 13th Penny has been making process, she is less timid of people, cars and going outside, she is very active and has learned to not growl and give up her toys. She knows how to sit and lay down on comman and she loves to play fetch. She is getting better about her housetraining and is almost perfect. She loves to be with the cats, is learning to play with smaller dogs and is comfortable with some bigger dogs we know as well. She is ok with kids, but shouldn't be in a home with kids.
Penny is a little bit of a fussy eater, currently she is on boiled hamberger and rice with eukanuba dry (small bites) dog food.
March 9th Penny Lane is a very small "teacup" poodle. She was given up by her owner because she was not housetrained. She is apricote and about 1.8yrs old spay female. When she arrived she was very shy and timid, was not very well trained and needed some work. She also had diarrhea which is much better. She is still not 100% about the housetraning but it's coming! Penny Lane gets lots of long walks outside and loves to run around chasing her little fish toy (seen above with her friend Tora). She loves cats as well and get along with both Cupcake and Ragu as well as the foster cat Tora. Penny might be adopted by my parents but at this time they are still unsure.
