1. Several kittens went home in the last two weeks: Hudson went to a home that had an adult cat, and Ajani and Tibalt went to a home together with an amazing couple.
2. Speaking of Ajani and Tibalt, Lily's kittens had their retesting done last week...and all four came back negative! My beautiful, brave, strong Liliana managed to give birth to six perfect babies with NO FIV! Just Chandra and Jace are looking for their forever homes now.
3. Jezebel, the skinny little stray, went to the vet yesterday and tested negative. She's been vaccinated and ready for a new home. She isn't quite ready to be spayed yet though, the vet wants her to gain some more weight for about a month before spaying.
4. RIP Cody. He also went to the vet yesterday for evaluation and testing. It was ultimately decided by the vet that he was too old to be socialized, and was taken away from his mother too young to have the survival skills to be put back outside. They decided it was most humane to euthanize him. I feel very responsible for this little life having been lost, since I should have started socializing him sooner but just didn't have the proper environment to do so. I had just gotten him a nice cage and was ready to start, but the timing just ended up not working in my favor. I don't think I could agree to this decision again if it comes up, but what's done is done in this case. I'm so sorry, little guy.
5. When I went to an adoption last week with 6 kittens, I came home with 7. The AC&C van had dropped off a bunch of kittens that the group pulled from the kill list and the director asked who wanted kittens. We agreed to take a solo kitten who had been thrown out of a car window and onlookers brought him to the shelter. His name is Prize, though we call him Sir Prize. He is about 8 weeks old now. Both he and Hermie have people interested in them!
