What a lovely black cat appreciation day!

If you have been swayed to consider adopting a black cat or kitten, please do it. We have Tas and Huon, both are black cats waiting for their new homes. Huon is more independent from us than Tas. Tas was hand raised and bottle fed, so he thinks he is a human baby.

Huon adores other cats and our dog Lacey, he prefers their company and has been adventuring outdoors via our cat run. Tas has only just learnt about the cat run and he has been known to block the opening into the cat run to have a nap. He is not so brave yet.

I adore them both, they are easy to handle and will come when called. They are my shadow if I leave the main living area and like to see what fun they can have. Adorable, cute and most of all snuggly!

We are celebrating 🥳National Black Cat Day! Yes, it is an American tradition by why not show our ❤ for black 🐈.

As we look through our data of kitten adoptions, we do see that the black kitty is usually the last to be adopted from a litter e.g. Bear and Wednesday

I am not sure why black kittens find it harder to be adopted but let's look at a few myths. Please share your black cats with us too!

Myth 1: Black cats are bad luck - well I can say with now 4 black cats and many black and white cats coming through Tiny Kits Rescue we have not had any bad luck. I have yet to ask Huon and Tas for any gambling tips, or to complete my financial planning or to predict the future. All our black kittens have bought us love and joy!

Myth 2: Black cats are hard to photograph - I think many kittens can be difficult to photograph but it is all about planning. The myth comes more into our current times as people use their social media and cats are taking over the internet. If you are getting photos of black voids with eyes, take advantage of all the tips and tricks on the internet to increase your skills. The right time, right light and right background you will be creating beautiful art.

Myth 3: Black cats are associated with witches - I have yet to cast any spells with my familiars Huon and Tas, but I feel witches were just empathetic women who refused to conform to societies norms. Using plants, understanding the elements of the earth and some mystical rain drops these women were probably quiet, calm and friends to many animals. As much as I feel like I am a cat, I have not been able to transform into my kittens and move about in their world (I try though).

Let us celebrate their beauty, their ability to camouflage, sleek coats, big cat movements and playfulness. Share your love of black kits with us ❤🐈🐈❤

Both Rose and Saffi have now been in Tiny Kit Care for over 250 days 😢, I want to share their journey to adoptions and how you can help Rose and Saffi.

Both Rose, Saffi, Freya (previously Violet) and Daisy were found in a park. It had been raining, their mother was not around and the person who found them took them to a pound. One of the amazing rangers took the girls on, not many pounds have the ability to give the 24 hour care of these vulnerable kittens. It took time to warm them up and get them ready to take to a bottle. This is not easy and with how cold they had been the kittens needed to fight to survive.

I asked the pound if they had any orphaned neonatal kittens that needed care and I took over the work of the wonderful ranger. A week or so in, our darling Daisy didn't make it she went downhill quickly and based on veterinary advice she was put to sleep. Tiny Kits adopted Daisy and her ashes are scattered in our memorial garden.

As the kittens grew, we could see their personalities developing, we gave them nicknames Violet was Monkey (she climbed everything with skill), Saffron became Saffi and Rose was Rosie. Nearly a month after desexing and microchipping Violet became Freya and found a new home. She has a brother, a ginger fluff who keeps her company and to play with.

Saffi and Rose stayed with us, they have been in a foster home and are now back with the rest of the Tiny Kits. We have learnt a lot about each of them. Saffi likes food, she likes to have extra snacks, chase paper balls, create her own fun and follow her human around. She is sweet, gentle and sometimes nervous in new situations. Saffi does like to lean on her sister Rose during these times, but settles well and loves to have a cuddle on the couch. Saffi has been using her foster carer's outdoor cat run.

Rose is adventurous, active and needs someone who can keep her busy. She has been more confident in adjusting back to Tiny Kits, loves a pat and some kisses in the morning. She seeks out bugs to chase, twitches (watches birds) and has a parkour way of moving around. She jumps, climbs, breaks opens puzzle toys, rarely rests, always says hi, eats less than her sister and searches for fun. Rose only wants to look at the outdoors, she has not been adventuring in the cat run.

We do not want the girls to have to stay in our care for another 250 days, we would like to find the family or individual(s) that will chat with us about their home. The girls need a home where they can have their needs met and live with understanding people. We have hope 🙏 our Tiny 🐈, Big ❤community can help us find Rose and Saffi a new home. Share, like/love the post and print their PetRescue profiles.

Kisses for brave Morti. We had a check with Dr Paul today, everything looks good and her patella is in place. A pentosan injection and off we went. I will give Morti a bigger crate, still no running etc.
She has another appointment in 4 weeks and hopefully then another 4 weeks before she can have freedom ( of some sort).

We have been discussing her long term plans, getting ready for adoption and dealing with reducing any early onset arthritis.

Thank you to all the kind ❤️s out there who love Morti as much as we do.

My work desk friend, Tas is following the sunshine 🌞

Not the best picture...but it has been a busy few days. Last night I collected Rose and Saffi as we have space back at Tiny Kits. Their carer also needs to do some painting, which we know these girls would be too helpful with.

Huon has shown Tas how to get into the cat run and through the cat flap. So there is a lot of exploring.

Tomorrow Morti is off to the vets for a check, hopefully 2 more weeks of crate rest and then freedom.

As it warms up, the tiny kits are being born...it is too early but I sure they will be back soon. That puts a bit of pressure on us, to find our current kits homes. I have also said that for my husband, Simon's birthday I will try and grant his wish of some kitty free time. So look out for and share our next adoption push. It would be nice for all the kittens to be in their new homes...soon.

Happy International Cat Day 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ ❤️
Share updates of those adopted from us, those cats we love in our homes and the ones we spot around our homes.

Update on Morti ❤️. Morti has been recovering in her smaller crate for over 2 weeks. She has had enough of the confinement, which we understand. This week she gets a few minutes out of the crate to keep building strength and so we can check how she is going.

So far...so good 👍. Next week she gets a check up at the clinic and hopefully more time out of her crate. As you can see by her crazy eyes...she also ❤️ chase her own harness lead.

06/08/2024

I have been away from home for work, for nearly 3 weeks, I drop in each day for about 2hrs to feed kittens, tend to Morti and do those litter trays. I am missing my kittens & cats on my lap and Tas is just my shadow. When I get home he hangs off me, follows me, jumps on me and sits on my lap of I sit down. He has been hoping in my bags too. I gave him a treat mate from Shinay Greenwood today, he loved it and found all the treats.

I hope he finds his home soon and find his new family...after a big cuddle and head kiss when I get back.

Rose what a smoocher, she enjoys a cuddle and pat in the morning. She looks for comfort from her human and wants to be your shadow. Along with her sister, she prefers being indoors and close by the action.
