Cattitude Adjustment

10/22/2024

Several months ago we took in several month old kittens who were very very sick - after a few hospital visits it was determined that they had coccidia and URIs. A few months of relatively extreme treatment later (cleaning their holding area with ammonia, new litterboxes daily, wearing PPE while in the room with them, 2-3x daily meds and supportive care, etc) we have amazing, happy and healthy 4 month old kittens who need adoption! Elvi and Tubs are rambunctious boys who LOVE to play and are highly food motivated. 🙂 They are FIV/FEV negative, have had both rounds of FVRCP shots and will need to be neutered and have rabies shots after 6 months of age. We love them SO MUCH but as we have 11 cats of our own, we are looking for an understanding, caring and supportive home for these amazing boys. They love other cats, playing, Churu treats and pats. Please comment or dm me if you're interested in meeting them! (photos at the end of how they arrived to us). Please share if you can!

The first part of a series on pet loss and grief is out now on my cat behavior podcast, Hiss and Tell Podcast. While not a cheerful topic by any means, it’s unfortunately something I know a lot about and so do my guests, Joelle Andrés and Morgan Krug. So many of Steve’s followers requested an episode about grief, and in this one we discuss our personal stories and strategies for dealing with loss. Next time I’ll be speaking with a pet loss counselor. Feel free to share this with anyone you know going through this difficult, and often disenfranchised experience. 💛

Joelle Andres, human extraordinaire, is a school administrator by day, dog mom by night. Armed with dual masters in special education and cognitive neuroscience (and an advanced degree in school leadership), she fearlessly goes where Bastian tells her to go. Morgan Krug, dog behavior consulta

I've posted about these amazing female kittens that we have up for adoption a few times, and the situation is becoming urgent as some of our cats have started bullying them pretty seriously. We need to find them a great home where they won't constantly be chased and harassed by jealous women, lol! Banana and Blueberry are super healthy, FIV/FEV negative, spayed and have all their shots. They came to us feral but after a few months of socialization they having really come around will make wonderful friends to someone who is willing to be just a little more patient than usual with them. Blueberry loves to snuggle in laps and Banana is always running up for a pat and a head butt! We love them SO much, but with 10 cats of our own and a near constant influx of unfixed, feral cats on our property that we are spay/neutering and trying to place, we just can't keep them. Please let me know if you'd like to come meet them and give them the wonderful home that they so deserve. We are open to bringing them anywhere in the CT/NYC/NJ area. Please share this post if you can and thank you!
