Quinn and Huxley enjoyed some peanut butter after their visit today, they are always cute and even more so while snacking!
It’s the end of an era today, Pearl the golden doodle is moving and today was our last visit. I met her when she was 3 months old, and now she’s 6 and a half and wonderfully silly and playful. She gives great hugs, and we’ve been through rainy days and glorious sun and I will miss her dearly!
Miss Ebony Spitfire, also known as Mama Ebony, found her forever home today. She will be living as an only cat with two wonderful humans, and I got teary as we were preparing her for this new home. The first month or so in the colony she was nursing a litter of kittens and growing slowly braver, and then she decided that food on demand and copious petting were exactly what she wanted all for herself. She was injured in December and require some Vet care, and after that it was all pampering inside like the Queen she is. Enjoy some of my favorite moments with her since September, starting this week and looking back. We are so happy to see her big personality shine, and know she will be loved for it (not despite it)!
Grumpy and Happy are a pair of adorable kittens looking for their forever family, could it be you? These kitties are around one year old. They are very playful, love to cuddle with each other, and quite enjoy people and affection once they adjust to a new setting. They will climb in to your lap, eat snacks from your hand, and purr purr purr. https://www.petfinder.com/cat/grumpy-happy-74298076/mn/minneapolis/pet-haven-inc-of-minnesota-mn36/ @pethavenmn #adoptdontshop #adoptablecats #mncats #rescuecats #adoptablecats #mncats #catsofmn
Marshall was a playful boy today, he did not want me to keep his toys so I promised him he could win. Such a cute little ruby Cav!
Today was too cold for a full walk, but yesterday Chauncey had spirit and was glad to be exploring nearby parks. He has great energy!
Rhetta would love to be wrapped up and brought inside before the holidays! She has turned in to a confidant young lady who loves snacks and will climb in to my lap as I visit. She has shown the classic tortietude that those with her coloring often exhibit, nothing wrong with a kitty who knows her worth! She is used to living with other cats in the colony, and may also do well as a solo cat with an attentive human. Spayed and vaccinated thanks to @ppr_mpls , and well fed since August through many donations by the community.
Nova colony in Heights had a dramatic week, with highs and lows. The bad news is that Ebony suffered a throat injury on one of the very cold days this week, and I couldn’t tell how bad it was so I whisked her off to the U of MN Vet Urgent Care. It appears she was bitten by a dog or raccoon or an unknown cat seeking warmth where she sleeps. She was treated, and is now an emergency foster in my bathroom. Happy and Grumpy are still upstairs, hopefully posted and meeting adopters next week, and we made room in the Inn for Ebony to heal downstairs. She is doing great, wanting petting and churu and adjusting to life indoors. She is going to be a beloved companion to someone, I can tell already! Now we apply to rescues to onboard her, which was the plan in a week or two. I wish all of these kitties could find a safe home indoors, and none would go through this type of traumatic injury. Thank goodness she trusted us enough to go in a carrier, and allow wound care. The Vet staff said she was charming even with the open wound. It was a week of big emotions, I’ll say that! Enjoy Ebony wiggling around and showing she is ready for the good life. Other good news, Bib and Tuxie were accepted in to Kitty Revolution and have a foster caregiver, which is excellent! Only 7 cats left outdoors in this colony, there are hundreds around the City but I mostly focus on this crew with occasional assists to others trapping and feeding in nearby neighborhoods.
Smudge also wanted petting this week, Ebony can get jealous but I was able to pet Smudge for a bit before the other girls complained. All of these kitties are fixed and vaccinated, and ready for the good life indoors as a foster cat!
