Things are very busy here with Mama-C and her five offspring finally vetted and ready for adoption. Calls have been coming in and it looks good for at least half of the kitties. One person even begged to adopt little Andie! Popular girl! Hopefully, by Monday, I'll be down to four, then perhaps another one or two will be adopted during the week.
I've been working on making arrangements to take in another critical rescue. Yes, the eight kittens, shown in the post below...not sure I have the guts for this, but if no one else steps up, I will find a way to give them a foster home.
Speaking of rescues, TOMORROW, "Huggy" Mama & her two kittens, as well as "Last Chance" Mama & her two kittens will be arriving via transport around 1pm. There's much to do to get their temporary space ready to go. I had to cut a deal with my Director. She's going to take the CallaLily litter and I have to keep Huggy in quarantine-which includes having to use "step pans" filled with a bleach mixture that I'll have to step in and out of every time I exit the foster room Huggy is staying in. This is to prevent the unlikely spread of disease until Tuesday, when Cali goes and I can move Huggy out of the bathroom and into the main foster room.
Will be a royal pain in the ass to keep things disinfected and separated, but I that's the deal and I might as well learn how to keep a quarantine area in case, God forbid, I need to do this again.
Mama-C is wiped out from her spay. She slept in my lap for awhile. The kittens bounced back from their surgery quickly, but no one feels like eating! I have four kinds of food out. Nothing. Ugh. I am going through a tough time with ALL the cats. No one likes anything I offer them. It's really annoying and a waste of food.
Mama-C is also done with her Motherly duties. She is very thin and weak. I feel so badly to be the one to "cut the cord" between her and her offspring, but the day draws near where they will be separated from each other and all go off to their new homes alone. I really hate this, but fortunately the kittens are resilient and make new friends quickly and hopefully Mama will find a good home, too...I worry if she does not. It means going back to where she came from. Her previous owner cannot afford to pay her electric bill. How will she care for Cali? We gotta find a home for her. I'll start trying on Monday.
So basically, that's what's going on. I gotta run to Tar-jay Boutique (Target) to get stuff for Huggy Mama. Oh, I'll need names for her kittens, too. Start thinking, guys!

Immersing your feet in bleach
Immersing your feet in bleach solution? You are my kitty rescue hero. I am taking on my 5th because he walked into our lives about 2 weeks ago. And yesterday I spent a good week's salary on emergency care for one of the girls, but you have me so beat with the feet dipping thing! Best of luck finding homes for all the dears.
Names
How about Huggy, Snuggle and Cosset? actually, (Cozy is better!)
;-)
Bleach! Fun :-(
Love the names! I was going to do something with diaper names! Huggy, Pampers & Depends! LOL!!!!!
Kick butt, Acninee! thank you for taking on a new kitty! You're awesome!
Do you know about Care Credit?? AND do you know about IMOM??? One is credit for health emergencies over $500...really helps a lot to have it. You can get it immediately and then you can opt to pay it off in 3 months for NO interest. IMOM.org gives out money to help folks with heavy vet bills who don't have the income to care for big ticket care. You have to qualify based on your income, but it's worth checking out if that would help.
You can follow IMOM on Twitter, too! http://twitter.com/IMOM_org
