Clarence talking. I think he was asking for a blanket so he didn't have to sit in his litter box to feel happy. Cats like to sit in boxes, its just one of their things.

Thanks for the update. So nice to hear that lots of the cats have gone to new homes. I'm not surprised that Pugsly has been adopted, he has such a sweet face.

I'm quite smitten with Clarence too. I hope he finds his new people soon.

gitabooks · Sep 9, 2016

Muffin, Woody, Skye, and Sybil have all been adopted! We also have three new kittens; Boston, Beatrix and Benjamin. They are up for adoption already (fixed yesterday and ready to go today) and seem to be doing well.

Bella, Narcissa, and Genny are ready to be spayed and go up for adoption as well. : )

That's great news. Wouldn't it be something to see these adopters join TSC and we get to see them grow. LOL

Great job.

Thanks. : )

That would be so cool if I could follow with their stories. Sometimes we get posts on our shelter's FaceBook page, but not often about cats (usually dogs). I always love to hear what type of person adopted, though. To know they went to someone who will love them and give them a chance to run around and play as well as snuggle.

Update pictures:::

Pearl is still getting over her cold in the back before she can go back out to the Cat Room for adoption. She is making progress, she was pretty bad in this picture but was started on medication and now has less drainage.

Mittens is up for adoption! Apparently he is a dude, which I didn't know since it didn't say on his sign. Oh well, I guess that works too. : )

Boston or Beatrix, one of three Brown Mackerel Tabby kittens up for adoption at the shelter. They came in and were fixed and went right up the next day. Their names are Boston, Beatrix and Benjamin.

Dee Dee came in with a microchip and attempts are being made to find her owners so she can be returned.

Tesla came back (what a big girl!!!) because her owners, who loved her very much, had allergies. They tried air purifiers and sweeping more and all this stuff and it didn't work. It just isn't healthy to live with constant allergies, so she had to come back. She is getting over an ear infection before being put up for adoption with her "foster brother" Trouble. Her coat is much less thick and the Broken Mackerel pattern is showing through more.

Ebony has the cutest ear tips ever! Hopefully he can finally have his chance to be adopted. It has been months since he came here and he keeps getting colds, the poor little guy.

Cade is one of the three cats that came in after their owner past away. Carreen and Stuart were placed with a friend of their owners, I'm not sure if Cade is being vaccinated or they don't want him or what, but she is still with us. He hisses when he sees people but adores being petted, so he is just fearful, not aggressive.

Ariana is getting over a cold (poor thing) in the back. Sybil has been adopted but Tazmania is still at Petsmart waiting her turn.

Mr. Peabody was put into quarantine after he began to not use one of his back legs. Hopefully he feels better soon and can go back up for adoption.

Oh, and we also have a horse staying temporarily at the shelter!! Her name is Roache and she is staying here while she gets over a cold she has. They didn't want her infecting others at the stable where she was being surrendered so she is basically having a "quarantine" here. She isn't afraid of the dogs at all and is eating and resting well. She doesn't even seem to care that there are any dogs near-by. Shows that she is a good horse, not easily spooked. : )

I'm sad to announce, I have a feeling that little Clarence passed away. I wasn't told this, but his name wasn't on the list anymore when I came in. He must have had an under-lying disease. If it wasn't that, perhaps his owners came in to claim him! Very rare with cats that aren't declawed, fixed, ear-tipped or microchipped. I'm glad he got to have a good ending if he truly did pass away.

Rags, Minion and Paws remain in a foster program at the local Reformatory Prison program. Echo and Skeeter are at Petsmart with Tazmania. Lyla, Nocturne, Twilight, Oziana, Mr. Cool, Moo, Banjo, Spoons and 2 new kittens are all in foster homes. Nutmeg, Rowan, Trouble and Ginseng are up for adoption in the Lobby.

Peggy and Kip are getting over health issues in the back with the others.

Domino, apparently, was a Foster Failure and adopted by the people who took care of him while he was sick! Moo is practically adopted, though it isn't official, and Mr. Cool is the same, his owners agreeing to keep an eye on him for a return in his health problem (sore paws) should he need vet care again.

I won't be going to the shelter again until they open again on Wednesday, but I'll try to update again then.

Twilights coloring is so pretty. It sort of looks like a fever coat, has it darkened at all, or is it still the same? Very usual, and adorable

Thanks.

She is still lighter than Oziana (who is now pure black) but she has darkened a lot. She has this brown, silver hue to her but would be described as black if you saw her.

By the way, after researching it, I'm pretty sure that Nocturne is Hydrocephalic, or has water on her brain. She is doing well, but the shaking, loss of coordination, running into things, slower development, large head size, over-excitement, bug-eyes, and longer hours of sleeping. I hope she continues to do well. I really love this girl. : )

gitabooks · Sep 27, 2016

I'll try to post new pictures soon. : )

Oh, you're going to keep Nocturne?

Fantastic news!

Oh yeah. I fell in love with her and the fact she is special-needs just makes it all the more meant to be. Also, she's the only one my dog doesn't seem to mind having sleep beside him (I'm going to take that as a sign).

gitabooks · Sep 28, 2016

Oziana getting some pettings. She is showing her sweet-side more and more (always the shy one of the family) and has a cute little locket on her chest. : )

Wow, Moo is a chunky kitty - my gal Chestnut is 20 pounds but I think she may have lost maybe 2 pounds since June.

@Norachan - Do you have a thread with your kitty and his diet, I would love to know what you're doing for him. thx

Sure, it's here.

[thread="320305"]Little Boys Diet Thread[/thread]

All I've done is reduced the amount of dry food he had and fed him extra wet. He's also going for walks whenever the weather is nice. He's just a smidgen under 8 kilos now.

Ginseng was adopted! After months of boarding and time spent waiting for someone to choose her, it is finally her turn! Not only that, but Narcissa was also adopted.
