Nickel City Cats

Sleepy Aang. Sadly I suspect he may have FIP. Antibiotics didn’t seem to help him all too well with the low grade fevers. On the bright side he isn’t losing his hair anymore and he is gaining weight… just not a lot. Mind you this may not be FIP. I hate this limbo of having sick kittens. Zuko has thrived with antibiotics and now back to eating his favourite food. They’re both the same small size. Neither have FIP belly. But both are a wee warm, more snuggly/tired, and less zoomy than Azula. I just, UGH. That said, very sadly, Katara passed away quickly and asymptomatically at her new home with Toph. The family is gutted and so Azula is going over there so soothe the souls. Toph is doing VERY well. Sokka and Suki are also doing extremely well in their new home.

At Ren’s today! We have Meg, and Lita and Ami 🥰. These 3 girls are super excited to find their new homes. Meg needs a home as a single pet or with a very submissive pet; she is a bully to animals but a love BOMB to humans. Ami and Lita are a package deal, these sisters are yin and yang and while it may not seem they’re bonded… just try taking away one and you’ll soon regret it.

It’s a quiet Christmastide Saturday at Ren’s. We have Poet and Kiki in the house!

Whenever you pop by HQ, take notice of the window at the ground. There should always be curious kitties looking at you.

Tomorrow and Sunday! We are BACK at Ren's for another adoption and fundraising event. We only have 6 adoptable kitties at the moment. Meg, Ami and Lita, Cordelia, Kiki, and Poet are still looking for their homes. Azula has a pending home, Aang and Zuko are battling a little infection and will be available once they're healthy. Layla... *sighs* her poops makes it hard but she is starting to show progress in her socialization.

This is another opportunity to pick up a toque or cat toy!

Our little family more or less celebrates Christmas on Christmas Eve so that they can spend Christmas Day together and with their partners’ families. The kitties are soaking up the silence before we are 6 adults and 1 toddler in a flurry of food and wrapping paper. Enjoy the season everyone!

Made my first cricut project! Unfortunately I made the image a LOT bigger than intended but it works. Because the image was so large, the tail got a little buggered. No big deal though. It’s one of those $2 dollar tree shirts that I may never wear 🫤. I’m loving the brand idea though so keep an eye out for “eccentric” merch in the new year.

Poor little man. He started to not eat much yesterday morning and grew slightly feverish as the day progressed but was still playful. Today, he wants to do nothing more than snuggle 🥺. But his fever broke and he is currently devouring my monte christo. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did you know that we've adopted out over 35 cats in 2024?

True story!

This could not have been done without all of your help and support. There have been many times throughout this year, our first year, that I've asked myself "what the heck am I doing?!"

Nickel City Cats is essentially a one woman show so far, believe it or not. While I have enough gumption and passion to do this however the positive feedback, the adoptions, the donations are the wind beneath my wings (cheesy, I know 😝). Those who are behind the scenes, the Amazon fairy godparents, my patient husband, the financial donors... you all deserve many many thanks. Without you all, this would be significantly more difficult than it already is.

One of our Amazing Amazon Aunties sent us a cat tree amongst other things and it came in this big box! What should I do with the box? Daniel, Azula, and Poet for scale.

Happy Mews! Remember Mama Jess? The mama to Benny, Billie, Casy, Becky, who also adopted Katya and Kali… she’s gone into foster-to-adopt! She’s up to date on her shots and microchipped but not yet spayed. I’m not a fan of letting mamas go unspayed however it is the off season and her fosters know how to handle a kitty in heat if it were to happen. So far Jessie is loving life with an older floofy and cranky lady cat.
