FERAL KITTEN UPDATE! Our Two Little Rambunctious Girls Are Ready For A Forever Home!

Getting some well deserved treats!!!!!

Well, it appears that plying these two beauties with pasta has done the trick.

They both have come so far so quickly.

When they arrived here there was no touching them, giving them treats, or even just looking at them directly in the eye!

They just wanted to be left alone.

But after three weeks of our talking to them, blinking sessions (yes, it's a thing), speaking softly to them, singing terribly to them, and eventually petting them, they broke through their apprehensions.

They are now a wonderful bonded pair who are ready to find someone to give them a home and lots of love.

We promise they will give it back... Just check out the video below for proof!

FERAL KITTEN BREAKTHROUGH! Kittens Tamed By Pasta... Really! (VIDEO)


We've made a breakthrough with these two little feral kittens and it didn't come about the way I predicted.

After dinner one night I was cleaning up the dishes and noticed we had a little angel hair pasta left.

We have one cat of our own that LOVES pasta so I figured why not see if I could get the girls interested in perhaps playing with it at the very least. 

So I took a clump of noodles and put them on the floor and lo and behold the kittehs started carbing up!

I was able to pet them, talk to them, film them, and ever since then they seem to have mellowed out a ton.

I couldn't tell you why, LOL!

Here is a quick highlight reel of the girls having fun with noodles!

FERAL KITTEN INCOMING!!!! Who Knew They Made Kittens This Ornery?!?! (#663-664)

Pearl and Boots... Lookit that BIG foot!

Hey Everyone,

We just got in two new kittens for socialization and they are a tough and spicy pair!

The problem we have here is that they appear to be a couple of weeks older than the previous babies we had and that means they could be more set in their ways.

They are completely healthy and not a flea on 'em... They are just VERY anti-social.

So, as it usually goes, we're going to keep them in the cage so they can be pet without having to chase them down which only freaks them out.

The other step is food, treats, and toys all the time!

Depending on how it plays out in the next few days we can let them out if they can be handled without too much drama.

Keep your fingers crossed, I fear these two are a tough pair!

Updates to come.

FERAL KITTEN UPDATE! These Two Cranky Little Kitties Are No Longer Cranky… They Are Love Muffins! ❤️ (VIDEO)

When these two babies came in, we really thought they were going to be a problem because they were put out and mean-mugging us all day long!

Much to our surprise and delight, they came around quickly and now love to be pet, belly rubbed, and they nuzzle into your neck and turn into purr machines the second you pick them up.

Here is a video of the two playing and being petted...

It is a beautiful thing to see happen when the switch flips, and they understand you are only there to help and love them.

They are totally ready for their furever homes and are presently residing at the North Fork Animal Welfare League if you are interested in adopting them... Thell them AFAR sent you ❤️

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!!!!!)...
