Flashback to June, with Tompkin and Otter discovering the joys of water dripping from a straw. I don’t recommend teaching your kittens about this with a glass and straw however - every glass with a straw they see becomes a possible play toy! They sure did have fun though and loved stealing my straws to play with! We did this for a long time! #kittenkonnection #mykittengarden #catsfillyourheartwithlove #petsarefamily #adoptforlife
We traveled for Christmas and have to travel again soon in January, so we don’t have any additional kitties here in our Kitten Garden. Just our four adults, who are enjoying playing with new toys from holiday celebrations during the cold snowy weather. Here’s Stanley, who is just under 6 years old, checking out a new scratcher house! #kittenkonnection #petsarefamily #adoptforlife #catsfillyourheartwithlove #mykittengarden
Marshall is getting bigger and stronger, but after a few hours of play, with some snuggles from foster kahu mama, his inner baby shows. He still likes to rub his face in the warm furry blanket, and even suckle it a bit. He misses his feline playmates, so I try to provide a little pre-nap hand wrestling like he would have done with Darla. Marshall is adopted and will go to his new home on 12/19.
Darla was fascinated watching the arrow move as I maneuvered on the screen so I pulled up some demo video games for cats for cats. She was so adorable watching. She pounced on it several times before I started recording - let that be a lesson to me to always record! ❤️

Some of you will remember Sadie and her 3 babies, who stayed here in the garden while their regular foster was on vacation. They are actually all ready for adoption already! I took this video when they were here but hadn’t posted it yet. You can’t get much sweeter than a mama loving and caring for her kitten while the kitten resists the bath❣️#kittenkonnectionechs #tractorsupplypawpaw 11/24/24 #petsuppliesplusBattleCreekFRI #adopttoday #adoptforlife #petsarefamily #untileverycathasahome #companioncats
After a good solid 24 hours of full belly, warm security and tender snuggles - not to mention a warm sudsy bath - Marshall was feeling playful and a bit ferocious❣️
Tommy, Darcy and Darla came home to the Kitten Garden On Saturday afternoon, and they got to be in the big downstairs walkout room with lots of room to play. Sometimes that’s a little overwhelming at first, especially if their space at a previous foster was more restricted. The three were running around at first exploring, but I left them alone for a bit, and when I went back, I could not find Tommy anywhere! I pride myself on knowing all the possible hiding spots, but Tommy taught me a new one. After a couple hours of looking intermittently, I found him. Behind the pool cue rack next to the fireplace, sleeping below the solid wood piece. He demonstrated the primo private spot for me today!
Sally loves to play, run and jump! I played circle ball with her for a bit, then scooped her up for a quick smooch and snuggle. She’s letting me hold her a little more each day. Someone who is patient with her is going to have a super affectionate fun baby.
Bathtub ping pong! Antonetti picked up on it immediately. Sally was a little unsure about getting into the bathtub and her entrance was a little unsteady 🤣 but she finally decided it was fun. Meet them Saturday 11/9 at Tractor Supply in Paw Paw noon to 3:30.
While everyone else was napping, Sally and I enjoyed basking in the sun and getting to know each other more. She’s got a lot of love in her and she wants cuddles. Even when she gets a little nervous she purrs like crazy to be loved. Adidi, Antonetti and Sally will be available to adopt soon! Pick a pair or three and fill your world with love, snuggles and purrs! #kittenkonnectionechs #eatoncountyhumanesociety #adopttoday #adoptforlife #PetsAreFamily #BringHomeLove #mykittengarden
Sally Sue has the biggest purr and such a sweet little voice. She’s learned that pets and scritches from people are great, but she still skitters away when I reach for her while she’s playing. She’s making great progress socializing and is a very happy confident girl. Soon she’ll be available for adoption! #kittenkonnectionechs #eatoncountyhumanesociety #adoptforlife #adopttoday #PetsAreFamily #mykittengarden
On Friday, her first full day in the garden, Sally had some free play in the kitten room without Netti and Adidi. She was running and jumping and clearly happy, but a bit leery of me reaching for her. Later that day, she got to meet and have playtime with Adidi and Netti. Netti was sweet and welcoming, but Adidi was quite aloof and a bit hissy. He clearly saw no need to meet some strange cat that was actually a little bigger than him.
Growing and nurturing foster kittens until they’re ready for adoption to their purrmanent homes.
