Welcome to TCS!!! I'm Katie and like Susie, I'm from the Cleveland area

I've also adopted kittens from Eileen and they are absolutely fabulous kitties! Mickey and Monty are such special little boys are you keeping their names or are you renaming them??

Nice to meet you, Susie and Katie. I live in the Cincinnati area but am leaving for a 3 day conference in the Columbus area later today so will not have access to a computer during that time. So this is probably my last post until I return home Wednesday night. Didn't want you to think I was ignoring anyone if you don't see anything from me for awhile.

In answer to your questions, although Mickey and Monty are adorable names, I probably will be renaming them once I bring this home and get to know them better. I have a cat named Lady and I want names for the boys that end in different sounds than Lady as I want them to learn their names and don't want to confuse them. I will let you know their new names once me and my roommate choose them.

Better go and get ready for my trip, and I look forward to getting to know all of you.

I know what you mean about the different sounding names, my dog's name is Vino and one of my cats came with the name Nemo, I was going to change it but he really seemed to know it, but now when i call him, my dog thinks I'm calling HIM

Hope you have a nice trip!

Have a nice trip...
I will look forward to learning the boys new names.

to TCS! I hope you have a good trip, and am looking forward to the continued adventures of Monty and Mickey!

Welcome to TCS. This is a great place for advice, as well as support. Heres wishing you a smooth transition with your new additions to your family!

Welcome to TCS, Lady20! It's so good to hear that Eileen's two little rascals have a good furrever home, and to meet their new Meowmy. Have a good trip, we'll look forward to seeing you when you get back, and following the boys' entry into your family. I'm sure they'll help you name them, once you get to spend time together.

ohmy this is simply BRILLIANT!!! YAY!!!

welcome and CONGRATS on the adoption. Thankyou so much for joining TCS so that we can keep updated with their progress.

I've been back in touch with the neighborhood folks and there's been no further sightings of the mystery kitty. We suspect it was the young tortie who lives down the street that the neighbor mistook for another kitten. She was in the group that was fixed several week ago.

If I thought Mickey and Monty had another littermate out there, I would have been trying to trap her all along, but I'm pretty much convinced it was just the two boys. The neighbors will continue to keep an eye out in any case.

Meanwhile, I still one more of Little Ma's daughter's from several litters ago to trap. She's a tuxedo, completely feral, and has had at least one litter already herself. We'll work on trapping her after Thanksgiving. Please keep your fingers crossed. She's known to be as feisty as her mother. Thanks!

Eileen - good luck trapping the tuxedo kitty!

And Lady20 - Welcome to TCS! It's so wonderful to know that these special little kitties are going to such a loving home!

Just wanted to let everyone know the little guys are off to their new home! I'm going to miss them like crazy, but it makes me so happy to know that they're going to such a wonderful, loving home together and will have a great life. I'm sure their meowmy will posting an update soon with their new names (I know what they're most likely going to be) and how they're doing!

Now, I'm going to going to enjoy some time with my crew, before trapping again next weekend.

Thanks everbody!

You have made a difference Eileen.
Thank you.

Thanks for the update, Eileen! Glad the boys have such a good home to go to. Enjoy your little respite and the time with your own crew. Good luck with your trapping when it's time to get back to it.

Aww, wonderful news, and bet you are glad you have made a difference to their lives.

Hi Everyone,

This is Helene, Eileen's boy's new mother. They did great last night and I have decided on names for them. The gray one is Douglas and the orange one is Deacon. I will try to get some pictures of them soon. So far, Deacon has not come too near me but Douglas is not afraid of anything! They both will play with me in the room, which I am doing for long periods of time, so they get used to me. My partner, Renee, and I have the door rigged so that there is a small space that our 12 year old cat, Lady, can see through and the boys can see out but cannot get out yet. Lady and her brothers accidently met yesterday as Douglas and Deacon were walking past the small space of the open door and Lady was standing there looking in. Deacon jumped a mile in the air, hissing, and both he and his brother took off for the bed, under which is their hiding place. It didn't take them too long, however, to come back out. They did not have a clue up to this point that there was another cat in the house.

I will post more later, time to get to work now. (They both ate their soft food this morning, Eileen, and then went tearing around the room like crazy until they wore themselves out and are now sleeping.)

Helene
