Kitten Sitting

I'm taking care of Aurora and her family, while her foster family is out of town. They are so much fun to watch, I thought I'd take a video to share.



Felix is the tabby and he has more energy than I've ever seen in a kitten. Tut is the white fluffy boy who loves to snuggle in your arms but also joins in the fun. Gracie Ella is the only girl, beautiful just like her mom. Jude is the black and white boy who attempted to play with two toys at once.

This family will be available for adoption the beginning of July. If you are interested in learning more about them please call 651-705-6264.

Kittens Catching Some Zzzzzs

Today's blog is brought to you today by the letter Z.

Lily and her family are headed to the vet today for their checkup.  The kittens will be 8 weeks this Sunday, one more month until they are ready to find their forever homes.  Her kittens are also very anxious to learn their names now that the Name That Litter fundraiser has ended.

Red Lake Rosie's Rescue

Feline Rescue supporters may be interested to learn more about Red Lake Rosie's Rescue since our foster and shelter programs are receiving and placing cats from that organization. Red Lake Rosie’s Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization located on the Red Lake Indian Reservation in northern Minnesota.

Red Lake Rosie's Rescue was created by Karen Good. She raised funds to build outdoor kennels on her reservation property and has arranged for spay/neuter/basic health care clinics several times a year. A metro support group has been formed in the Twin Cities and animals are transported from Red Lake to Twin Cities’ area rescue groups including Feline Rescue.

This video was created from photos taken at a clinic in March 2010 and includes an interview with Karen Good.

Xander!

Xander, fka Benjamin, was adopted a week ago. Since he'd been in foster care for a year after recovering from eye surgery and due to a special diet, we thought it might take some time to adjust to his new family.  But less then a week and he's already hanging with the other cats in the family and comfortable in his new home.

Xander's first steps in his home

We thought it was about time for another update! Xander has pretty much fully assimilated into our household already, as of several days ago. It only seemed to take him three or four days to get comfortable!

He and the other cats all get along quite well, there's been nary a hiss for several days. He's explored most of the house, and we've moved his food and litter box into the main kitty room.

We're in the process of transitioning all the kitties to the wet food, since we weren't really able to keep Xander away from the dry food. He's had one minor poop mishap, but not a big deal. We have him going in to the vet on Thursday to get caught up on shots and get his first checkup with us. That's about it, his transition was largely uneventful, which is for the best I'm sure.

Xander - laptime

So, that's all for now! I'm attaching some pictures Hillary took so you can see him in his new home.

We'll try to get one with all three cats in it - they hang out together sometimes, but won't cooperate with the camera.

Another Happy Ending, thank you Peter and Hillary!

Pierre (fka Little Man) and His New Family

Little Man, renamed Pierre to fit in seamlessly with his new family (Rousseau's Litter), moved to his new foster home today and he is already doing very well.

Pierre says "Hi" from his new foster home

From his foster mom:

He is doing great with the kittens and the mom cat is treating him like another one of her babies, I'm not sure if she even noticed he was new ;)

Top down: Berlios, Geniveve, Normandy, Antoinette, Pierre

For the first few hours he was following me constantly and if I left the room he would start crying now he is busy with his new brother and sisters and he isn't at all interested in my whereabouts! He has a great personality and beautiful markings (classic tabby swirls and he has spots on his tummy).

Thanks to two foster volunteers, one for nursing him back to good health and another for offering to let him join her foster cats!

More sweet photos of Pierre's new cat family.

The Cutest Kitten Ever!

And of course we say that about all of our kittens.

Little Man was found lost in some water that had filled a low lying area from all of the rain last week.  His rescuer looked around for quite awhile for more kittens or momma cat with no luck.  Little Man was transferred to a Feline Rescue foster home earlier this week to gain some weight and get healthy enough to join another litter of kittens in foster care.

Luna's New Family

Luna fka Crystal is doing very well in her new home with her new family and her canine and feline friends.

From her family:

We got our lovely cat Luna (formerly known as Crystal - beautiful white short hair) from Feline Rescue. she is doing wonderfully...She gets along really well with our other cat, Annie, but is best friends with our dog Daisy.

Luna's favorite place to be in the whole house is on the back of the couch next to the window. She is just as pretty as ever, and she knows it!

Many thanks!!!!

Autumn, Joe, Ella, and Fiona
Luna, Annie, and Daisy

And many thanks to Luna's family for giving her a wonderful home!
