Cat n Kitten Adventures!

Cats. Love them or hate them, well you aren't allowed to hate them. They are just too awesome. At least I think so.

This is just the beginning of this blog and it will detail the love I have for cats and kittens - my rescues, adoptions, and many things I've learned and continue to learn along the way. Also my life as a new wife, and hopeful mother - my housekeeping or lack thereof, crafting projects, magical meal inspirations and disasters in the kitchen and more.

Today I just got back from the Kitten Rescue fosterer orientation. I've decided that what I'm doing is bigger than me and its pretty awesome to have such a cool organization to help and to have help me!

Cats in residence currently: 5
Cats that are mine? 4
New cats that are mine and were supposed to just be fostered? 1
How many am I ACTUALLY going to let go? 1 - though I don't know how. Lol

Hazel - 2 and a half year old medium hair domestic with gorgeously soft fur of white, brown tones, and black. She has stunning Hazel eyes that are mostly green and she is infatuated and attached to my husband despite all of the cosseting I gave her as a kitten. Go figure. 

 

Charlie - A rescue from a woman in Los Angeles who was going to dump him. I came to get him and just never managed to let go of him. He's the most athletic cat I've EVER seen and I've watched cat agility contests. I think he could compete. He can flip in mid air to catch a mouse. His jumps are amazing. He's faster than a bolt of lightning. He's an all black cat so he's great at lurking in the shadows and attacking unannounced. And he's also infatuated with my husband - but willing to let me pet him once in awhile. 

Alaska - My first shelter rescue, approaching a year old. He was set to be put down and was very sick with a URI. He's a beautiful seal point Snowshoe Siamese with gorgeous blue eyes. He is my baby through and through and the gentlest and most TOLERANT cat I've ever seen. Of course he's talkative and once in awhile meows at things I cannot see. I think he communicates to ghosts. Lol.

Xerox: Our runaway baby. We had her two wonderful years and we’ll never forget her. Missing since December  1, 2010.

Bottle Babies Hansel and Gretel - two just born kittens I found outside in a busy parking lot on the hottest day of the summer. They made it three weeks and died the same day twelve hours apart after being hospitalized. They just didn't have the immunity and strength to live. But they have inspired me to take on bottle babies and fosters and rescues so I owe them so much. 

Grinch - My Christmas baby. We had him from probably his second day alive and managed to bottle feed him for six weeks before getting him onto wet food. He was such a funny little thing. We had him a total of 12 weeks before placing him with a new owner. It was heartbreaking to see him go. I'll always remember him. 

PAST FOSTER CAT: CHANCHINA

A beautiful 2 year old Siamese girl. She got new owners within a week - an elderly couple who would go on to spoil her rotten and make her their princess. 

CURRENT FOSTER CATS:

 Tigger's older brother Big Boy - A 5 year old Flame Point purebred Himalayan with stunning blue eyes. He has the most luxuriant coat I've EVER seen and he's an absolute prince of a fellow. Currently looking to find him a home. I have a few good prospects. 

Tigger: A 3 and a half year old Persian. He's gorgeous, he's friendly and I love him. I can't help it. I'm adopting him.
