Cat Pictures
I'm working on getting the next batch of bios ready for the website, so I took pictures today. Seymour and Mr. Fudge are spending their first night at PetSmart. Hopefully they'll get adopted quickly, both are such sweethearts and get along with both cats and dogs. The new batch are going to be a little bit tougher!
The first one is Sinatra. He goes in for a dental cleaning tomorrow and he's an absolute doll of a cat. Just loves to be cuddled and purrs loudly with a bit of drool thrown in for good measure! Hopefully his dental cleaning will help with that. Cross your fingers, I may have a home lined up for him. He was at the City of St. Charles animal control for over a month and his time was almost up. The staff begged me to take him because they couldn't think of putting him down. I have to decide between the darker picture where I like the look on his face or the lighter picture that really shows off how white he is.
Our next model is Gracie, who is getting spayed tomorrow. Two of my friends found her along side the road and stopped to see if she was friendly. She was and they surprised me with a new foster. Don't you wish you had friends like that? Once again, I'm trying to decide between the two poses. She's gorgeous and friendly, but doesn't like other animals.
The last one is of Peter, who got returned over the winter when his owner died and the husband didn't want to deal with his loose stool issues. Peter has a diagnosis of inflamatory bowel disease, which can be managed through diet and steroids, we just haven't found a diet that works for him yet. He is much better than when he got here, but still isn't anywhere near having "tootsie rolls" as we call them. I know, too much information. He's so sweet. I sure wish that someone would take him on as their special challenge!
I also took in a new cat tonight - she was supposed to go to another foster mom. She was supposed to get dropped off at our vet and I wasn't ever going to see her. Her name is Sasha and she was found at an apartment complex and a nice lady was feeding her. All the kids knew her and carried her around, but today her belly was so big that she barely fit through the door of the carrier! She looked at me with those sad eyes and I was hooked! I called the other foster mom and told her she was off the hook, I'd keep her! We laughed at what a sucker I was and that I stole the mama cat, but not 20 minutes later, one of our repeat adoptors and cat finders called to see if we could take a pregnant female that showed up at their house. So now we don't feel sorry for the other foster mom anymore, she got a mama cat of her own!
I don't know what posessed me to take in a pregnant cat, but hopefully it'll all go well and I'll have cute kittens in a day or two. I don't think she'll hold out much longer!
