Elephants Upstairs

I haven't been here in a while. Shame on me. I have fostered some kittens, and some puppies since my last post, and it's been hectic to say the least. And I love it. :) These guys stayed here ...

Darby and Milo went to another foster that had a mama cat to see if she would take them, and she did. They were happy to have a mama and she was happy to have some relief. No rest for the weary,...

Mr. Bean and Cia I found out that the only one of the fab 5 that has not been adopted is Mr. Bean. The folks that adopted Boom and Joey initially wanted Bean, but Joey changed their minds wh...

So, the fab five left for a weekend event last weekend, and never looked back. I am not sure who was adopted from that event...I was out of town. I told the powers that be that I was available as...

The 5 little ones and mama are doing great. Had a little scare with a lethargic Twinks and some vomiting, but after their worm treatment, all is well. It is hard to get the little ones time to...

Another set of kittens have arrived. Mamma and 5 babies, all very healthy. Carlotta the mamma, came with the name Fluffy. Then we have Donk and Twinks, and Bean, Joe and Boom. Hopefully they w...

I had a mama and 2 babies dropped off with me Last week. One kitten was doing pretty well. One kitten was not. My foster friend Marnie showed me how to tube feed him since he wouldn't eat on his ...

Logan is growing up! I know, I know. I don't update enough. For example, the last time I updated, Logan/Hildy was tiny. Ears still folded, eyes barely open...and all alone. Things have chang...

I just got back from a great vacation in Rehoboth Beach DE on Sunday. Monday, we got another kitten! Initially they thought this little one was a boy, so they called him Logan. Turns out no...he ...

Two more kittens joined us recently, both boys, both black and white. I understand there were 5 in this litter, but they split them up to make it easier on the foster homes. I have to admit, it i...

Jimmy and Jammie The last post I told you about Twinkie. He was pretty sick when he came in. By the next day, it was obvious to me he was pretty far gone. I was syringe feeding him, but he w...

Jessica get's one more shoestring chew before she goes. On Tuesday Jessica went back to the shelter to prepare for her spay on Wednesday. As usual she was full of vim and vigor. They all got...

At the shelter, before heading home Jolie and Kanya went back to the shelter yesterday to be spayed today! My niece is still interested in adopting 2 kittens, but I am going to try to convin...

BISHOP HEADS FOR THE SINK WHILE JESSICA WATCHES It's been a while since I posted about the aliens. They are doing great. They are healthy and it totally sounds like the elephants are running...

The remaining Aliens are rolling along now. Seems whatever was causing all the gastric issues is on its way out, and all 3 are now over a pound each. Jessica is still smaller, but she is the kitt...

RIP Leela Always sad to post about a loss. On Thursday, Leela took a turn for the worst. Vomiting, liquid stool, dehydration. Never a good thing in any kitten, but one as small as Leela, and...

I am calling this litter of kittens the Aliens. Seems like every photo I have taken they look like little aliens. Seriously, look at these photos! Don't look into her eyes! Kanya will give yo...

So much for my "no kittens until Pancito is older" stance. I got the call yesterday, desperate for a foster, just for a week. I agreed, and now we have 3 little girls hanging out with us. We are ...

Pancito has been doing a fine job of making himself at home. He and Bentley play together well, and after a couple of "encounters" with Ripley, he pretty much ignores the cats. Speaking of cat...

It's been a few years since we had a baby Bentley in the house, so I had forgotten that they can be a lot more work than baby kittens! Bentley is so good, it's been a bit of a rude awakening. Wel...

We drove to Philly on Saturday morning. Our friend Evi volunteered to drive to LaGuardia on Saturday night (a two hour drive for her) to pick up Pancito from his escorts...4 vet students from Cor...

Here we are in March, and even with an extremely warm winter...no kittens yet. It's probably just as well. We have decided to adopt another dog. This one is from Mexico. I am the biggest sucker e...

We start out 2012 with no foster kittens. I took Twinkle, Georgina and Ziggy back to the shelter on Friday. For the last few days, we had been letting them out for hours at a time, to run the ho...

Holiday looks startled. Well, I don't KNOW if this will be the final four for the season, but it sounded good, so I am sticking with it! Ziggy flops in a lap for the Fleecy String. As yo...
