Here Kitty...Kitty....Kitty....

With the seizure in Medicine Hat of over 115 cats last month, so many rescue organizations were asked to help place the cats so they wouldn't be put to sleep. We blogged about this last month when we announced that we offered to help with 7 of the cats. Being known as a dog rescue, we knew it might be hard to adopt out cats as most people come to our site for dogs.

We succeed though, in adopting out 4 of them in the first couple of weeks after they arrived. Holdin, Nikko, Sapphire and Tawny are all in new, loving homes.

Our poor little Mojo was adopted and very much loved by his foster mom, Sam, but we discovered he was very sick and the vets think he didn't even really have an immune system that could help him out. Little Mojo was peacfully put to sleep last week after his little body had just had enough. Deepest sympathies to Sam and her family.

That leaves two, two beautiful little adult cats that are still waiting for their new homes.

The first one we will talk about is Fiona. She is about 2 years old. She is a flame point Exotic Shorthaired cat. She has short white hair on her body, but cute orange ears. Her pushed in face is adorable and she always looks grumpy!

ADOPTED!!

She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. She is adjusting very well to her foster home. She shares the house with three dogs and two other cats and seems to get along with all of them.

The other beauty is Kali. She is also a flame point, but a Himalayan X. She is a petite little cat, about 5 kgs. She was about 11 months old when she came to us, so that would put her at just over a year old now. She is litter trained, spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and chipped.

Please share this post and these pictures with people that you know who might be interested in giving one of these adorable cats a home for the new year.

The Felines

Last week, I posted about the situation in Medicine Hat. To catch you all up, there was a cat hoarding situation that involved about 117 cats/kittens in a single home. Due to the amount of cats and the plea for help, PDCR agreed to help and we took in 7 beautiful cats last week.

Introducing:

Sapphire - Has been Adopted

She is a 3 year old Calico Himalayan. She is very sweet, puffy fur, but only 3 kgs. She is petite and so soft.

Tawny - Has Been Adopted

This cutie is an Exotic Short Hair. She has short hair and such a cute pushed in face. She is about the shyest of the bunch but coming around quicky in her foster home.

Nikko - NIKKO HAS BEEN ADOPTED

He is also an Exotic Short Hair, his face is pushed in. He is only 4 months old. His foster homes says he is wildy playful and super cuddly.

Kali

She is a beautiful Flame Point Himalayan X. She is about 11 months old. She too is somewhat shy, but already wandering around her foster home, meowing when she feels lonely. She likes to roll on the carpet to get attention.

Holdin - HOLDIN HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!

I've been telling my kids to 'stop holdin' the kitten'.....the kitten is now Holdin. He is an adorable 5-6 month old Blue Point Himalayan X Siamese. He is super cuddly, brave, and loves to snuggle on the bed.

and Fiona

Fiona is a very sweet Flame Point Exotic Short Hair. She is about 2 years old and also very sweet with a shy exterior. Her foster home reports that she too is getting more and more comfortable each day.


These cats were all kept in sheds according to age and breed. Their socialization with people was non-existant. They are all a bit shy when it comes to cuddles as they haven't ever recieved alot of physical attention before. But, being cats, they come with alot of curiosity and sometimes that does get the better of them! They find themselves wandering around their nice, warm foster homes and soon enough, they are urged to rub themselves on a pair of legs and allow the person to pet and cuddle them. They are all finding this strangly wonderful! Lets see these beautiful cats into new homes where they will adjust and fit right in.










**The cats were kept in very dirty conditions, they had alot of dust in their eyes and nasal passages. That is all clearing out now, but in some of the pictures, you may notice a bit of eye/nose gunk, the dust is what is causing that and isn't a 'condition' that will last forever or cause future problems. They have all been checked by our vet and cleared.**
