I've been thinking about the past year's accomplishments. I think we fostered more critters than we ever have before in one year. I know we definitely worked harder at fostering than we did ever before, hand raising seven kittens from when they were a week old is something I'll likely never have time to do [...]
This weekend we visited Leslie’s parents, who adopted Orlando. He’s five months old now and such a big boy!
He was a bit surprised to see Annie at first, but soon remembered her.
Of course, because he’s a teenager, he’s testing the boundaries and the rules all the time. Apparently he likes coffee. [...]
Oreo has been adopted! Yay, all of the “O” litter have found forever homes!
The “P” litter should, in theory, be ready for adoption this week… but they’re still too small to be fixed! Their mom was pretty skinny, so they had a lot of catching up to do in the growing department. [...]
Penny had been sneezing, and so really it was only a matter of time before the kittens came down with something. It’s a sad fact of life that the shelter is like a daycare… one cat gets a cold and it spreads like wildfire. The shelter is gradually converting to new cat enclosures [...]
Well, we went through about ten different types of canned food, and none of them appealed to Penny. She did like the one Meow Mix dinner, but seemed more interested in licking up the juice than in the actual food. So we thought, why not mix some of our regular soft kitten food [...]
Oreo is doing well, she’s pretty much over her cold. The shelter is quite full right now so we’ll keep her for a little longer. Pretty soon Penny and babies are going to need the big room though! Oreo definitely has her own personality. When we first come into the room [...]
Good news first, Ophelia has been adopted!
Our poor Oreo has caught a little cold though. We offered to take her back home to get well, and found out that the shelter had a sudden influx of mother cats and babies. After some thought we decided we could probably fit another little family in [...]
We went to visit Oreo and Ophelia at PetSmart today at Preston Crossing in Saskatoon. Oliver was adopted, yay! Oreo and Ophelia definitely remembered us. We tried to “sell” them to a couple who was looking for a kitten, hopefully it worked.
This weekend we also said goodbye to the [...]

UPDATE July 24: Othello has been adopted! Oreo, Oliver and Ophelia are still looking for homes!
UPDATE July 21: Orion has been adopted! Othello, Oreo, Oliver and Ophelia are still available, and are at Preston Crossing Petsmart!
Adoption rates through [...]
The kittens are full of play and spend their waking time bouncing around the bedroom! They occasionally stop long enough to purr and snuggle with us, but soon they’re off again. So much energy!
Here is Oliver, taking a break on our patient dog Annie.
Oliver and Orlando try to decide who gets to chew [...]
