FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Oh, They Look Cute, But These Two Are Cranky, Cranky, Cranky! (#661-662)

Hey all,

We have received two new adorable black kittens in the shelter this week... And boy, are they nonplussed!

In other words, they are ornery, cranky, crotchety, cantankerous, and ill-tempered!

Who knew something this cute could be so grumpy?

That being said, they are in tip-top shape with no colds, worms, or fleas... It's a miracle!

So it is time for some top-of-the-line spoiling with treats, catnip mice, playing with string, red laser dot races, and then some more treats.

Here are a few more pictures I was able to take before they shot me the stink-eye and shooed me away (check out the one with the French tip manicure!!!!!)...

Updates to come!

KITTEN UPDATE! Watch Kittens Get Their First Fuzzy Blanket And LIKE IT! (VIDEO)

Hey everyone!

The two spicy kittens that came in last week with upper respiratory distress are on the mend and looking good!

We gave the little ones a fuzzy blanket just to see how they would react, and they didn't disappoint... Enjoy the show...

These two boys are well on their way to being socialized and finding their forever homes for sure!

FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! A Couple Of Goopy-Eyed Bad Boys! (#659-660)

Hey, ya’ll, 

It’s been a minute, but we’re back.

Today we have two sweet boys – both very feral – who have terrible cases of upper repertory infections as well as some goopy eyes.

These kittens were found in a group of 5, all abandoned in a local woman’s backyard.

These two were apparently the “bad boys” of the bunch, so we were selected to socialize them.

To be honest, they are fakers and are quickly becoming little cuddlers.

We are presently treating both of them while they enjoy a little quarantine time in the intake room before they can mix with gen-pop.

Here are some pictures we took in the morning before we gave them their medications, and they already look a thousand times better, so everything is headed in the right direction!

Updates to come.

FERAL INCOMING!!!! Another Frightened And Chilly Man Comes In From The Cold (#658)

This poor man came in last week for evaluation during the cold snap.

He cowered in the corner for days.

Sadly he was not a feral, just very, very scared.

We were able to discern this because he is fully grown, not emaciated, and unneutered.

If he were feral, he would be hissing and spitting and tearing the cage to bits wanting to get back outside.

Also, his coat would be dull and rough and he would have scars from fights and ragged ears from bites.

Yet, his fur is soft and his only wound is an abrasion on his nose from trying to get out of the trap.

And on the third day here this sweet boy let us pet him and did not protest in the slightest!

Those are the sad telltale signs of a cat who has been dumped.

He is scheduled to be neutered tomorrow, and then when he comes back and we're going to work non-stop on socializing him so he can find a forever home as quickly as possible.

This boy will not get dumped out in the cold ever again.

FERAL INCOMING!!!! A Sweet Little Man Who Had A Rough Time During The Cold Snap (#657)

We just got in a sweet little black cat that was so traumatized by the blast of freezing arctic air that hit us last week that I actually thought he was BLIND!

He did not move when I opened his cage.

He did not react when I put his food down.

He did not even notice when I took his picture.

From the looks of his eyes, I began to think he couldn't see us.

After about three days, he finally seemed to snap out of whatever state he was in – I think he was just overwhelmed to be out of the cold – and he began talking and actually demanding to be pet.

By the fourth day, we were picking him up and holding him, and he was wolfing down whole cans of food.

It turns out his eyes may have been the result of damage from the severe cold weather mixed with an eye infection.

So he's going to stay with us for a few more days to heal up and get his eyes back in working order and then be put up for adoption because he's a mush!

Here are a few extra pics of the sweet boy.

No more cold nights for this little man!
