Survivor Update

Two members of the Survivor family, Brigit and Phoenix, have found a new home. Phoenix ended up being even more special than we already knew he was when we determined that he is deaf. Once the kittens had fully recovered a call went out to the deaf community and immediately a family responded. Both husband and wife are hearing impaired and their new family has experience caring for other deaf cats so the kittens will be learning sign language. What a perfect match!

Following is an update received a few days ago from their new family:

Brigit and Phoenix are doing great and are reportedly very playful. They love being with their new mom either playing or sleeping with her when she watches TV.  Their new family also has a service dog, Pepper, who is currently separated from the kittens by a gate while they get to know each. Phoenix is very interested in Pepper and tries to get close to him.

Both kittens are eating well and love to sleep together on the love seat in the family room which is currently their own room as they adjust to their new home.  They also love to play in their water which their new family found out when they had some work done to their house recently.  The kittens were put in the bathroom with their food, water, litter, and toys for a couple hours to ensure that they would not accidentally get outside. The bathroom was quite the mess when the repair work was done and the kittens were moved back to the family room.  "Oh my gosh, kittens made a big mess in the bathroom."  They thoroughly enjoyed playing in the tub with the faucet dripping and loved the sink too.  Their mom commented that it was very lucky that the toilet seat was closed.  Now they want to go back to the bathroom to play so sometimes they get their wish when the gate is moved farther down the hallway to allow them access to the bathroom from the family room.

Their family says they are happy, cute, purring kittens. "We love them so much."

Momma cat, Tara, is still looking for her forever home.  She is more relaxed and playful with her kittens safe in their new home and she has also turned into the ultimate lap cat. Take a seat and Tara is on your lap purring away.
