Miss Bailey! This is her new favorite perch (which is why the blanket has a healthy amount of white fur.). We've had this wonderful little lady for over 11 years now. Time sure does fly!

Another favorite perch! She usually curls up right in front of the remote control receiver spot so sometimes we can't control the TV. But she's so cute, so we don't mind.

My beautiful little purrball. She's asking for lots of pets today... and I've been making sure she gets all the pets she wants!

Minerva asleep while Jonas is cuddling with her. Aren't they sweet? And they look so much alike, despite Jonas' white paws.

Hope you are all doing well and staying safe!

Don't you just love that little curled up paw under her chin?

These are our foster babies. Smudge nose is Finn. The grey and white is Munch. And the black kitty is Lexi. They're sweet but a little hissy still.

Edit: we have changed Munch to Ollie. Didn't feel like a good fit.

And they are doing wonderfully still! Already coming out and playing and they have good little appetites.

Editing to add: cruel remarks about this situation will not be tolerated. I deleted and banned somebody earlier today because they were utterly rude and menacing. If you don't like that we gave the cats back in their best interest, then you can leave this page. Thanks.

So... I had announced that we adopted 2 cats. It's been awhile since we had to give them back... they were miserable.

Well, today I got a text asking if we could take in some kittens to foster. I'm excited to meet these new babies later today. Something positive has come from something difficult...

I felt very sad giving those 2 boys back. I forever send happy vibes to not only their foster mom but the cats themselves.

Introducing... two new additions to the family!

These bonded boys are rescues and are still settling in. This was a picture that their foster provided me.

The little guy, who is about 3.5 months old, is Wendall the Purrminator. He is shy but we've only had the new cats in the house for about 11 hours! He has already let me pick him up and pet him.

The bigger guy, who is somewhere around a year old, is Winston Toothless the Fangtooth. He only has 4 teeth after he was found with stomatitis (a painful oral condition in cats that can cause weight loss among other things). Can you guess which 4 teeth are left? If you guessed his fangs, you'd be correct!

I will share more pictures of our new additions as they become more acquainted with us and maybe allow a good photo. Right now, they're hiding.

Ugh... mom, why did you wake us up?

Jonas on the left, Minerva on the right.

Pepsi kitty all the way! Are you a Pepsi kitty or Coca Cola kitty?

If I fits, I sits!

She likes to hide so I can't always get good shots of her. But Minerva was being extra cuddly today. Hoping you are all having wonderful days! Any plans for the weekend?

Sleepy, stretchy Minerva. What funny positions do your furbabies lay in?

Little cinnamon roll! It's so cute when she curls up like this. We hope you're having a fantastic Friday!

MARSHMALLOWS!!!

Astrid and the great big couch!

Astrid on the go!

Just a badly framed video of foster Astrid chasing my hand in circles. 😀

She was attacking her own tail and it was funny but this was all I could capture.

Five more minutes mom!

The dog spilled my jellybeans so the princess decided to play!

She weighs.... 6.8! Two people guessed this exactly. Shout out to Rachael Redlon and Karen Czlapinski! Minerva kisses and cuddles for you both! A note... I wanted to film at the vet but they took all the cats in the back and did exams there, even after I asked to film Minerva's exam. This is the only footage I really have of being at the vet.

Off to the vet! Don't forget to guess Minerva's weight! If you haven't guessed already in the previous post, you can guess on this post too and the closest person will get a shout out in the video posted after the vet visit.

How much is that kitty in the window there?

We had Chinese for lunch yesterday and Minerva was surely enjoying the leftovers!

Minerva; from shelter to home

I, Minerva’s mum, Elisabeth, have volunteered on and off at Pima Animal Care Center here in good old Tucson, Arizona. One Sunday, I came in early to find this tiny little ragamuffin kitten who was sniffling and had crud all over and around her deformed and glassy eyes. But I fell in love, even before knowing she’d probably be blind. She wasn’t even supposed to be on the adoption floor. But I put up a sign that she was adopted, perhaps abusing my volunteer privileges a little but with the blessing of all the other volunteers in the cat room. As soon as I held her, she was mine. This little ball of fluff settled right in like she was home when I first held her. I didn’t know I’d be taking her home that day. But I did. It became a foster-to-adopt situation. I was sent home with cans and cans of food, some kitten formula just in case she needed those nutrients still in her food mush, a littler box, scads of medicine for her upper respiratory infection and best of all, this tiny kitten who was now entrusted to me. I nursed her back to health over several weeks, giving her nebulizer treatments to loosen the crud in her lungs, giving her oral medications and just giving her love and socializing her. She was my baby right away. She got the name Minerva because I love Harry Potter and she needed a strong name. The professor in the series, Minerva McGonagall, is a strong and bad-ass witch. Thusly, we have christened Minerva Purrgonagall. Though my mom, Nana, was determined to call her Peanut because she was so small. Minerva has been with us now for over a year, officially adopted from Pima Animal Care Center, spayed, microchipped, sometimes forced to wear tacky collars for the enjoyment of her humans but she enjoys a very comfortable life, just as she deserves.
