Pasta Kitten Update

The Pasta Kittens were spayed yesterday. Can you believe all three of them were in heat?!? They are only about 3.5lbs and look so small. I was shocked when the vet told me. Anyway, they are recovering well and will be leaving on Saturday for their journey up to New Jersey. Sure will miss these girls!
Got this pic from Farrah's mom the other day. Look how much she and her brother love one another!!! I love it!
Sorry I've been M.I.A lately, got quite a bit going on..... I'm now the president of the TNR group, taking an online photoshop class, hitting the gym 5 days a week , fostering shelter kitties, hubby's mom was diagnosed with cancer (caught early!) and just trying to spend as much time as possible with family and the kitties. It's been a struggle trying to balance it all, but I'm trying.

Clean+Green Furniture Refresher

We recently purchased a new sectional sofa. We used to be able to keep Dixie Dog off the old, smaller sofa by putting the bar stools on top of it when we left for work. This new sofa is a monster and there is no keeping Dixie down.
We were given the opportunity to review Clean+Green Furniture Refresher and it's wonderful. We've been impressed with all of their other products and this one doesn't disappoint. It's great to spray on the sofa and Dixie's bed to freshen and get the doggy smell out. We've also had a few "hairball incidents" and it's worked great on those as well! The best part is it's safe for people and pets....... and it's green, so it's safe for the environment too!

We highly recommend picking up Clean+Green Furniture Refresher or any of their other wonderful products!

Giardia

Yep, the kittens have Giardiasis, which is an intestinal infection caused by a protozoan parasite called Giardia intestinalis. Seems to be quite common in the shelter kittens we've pulled lately. So the kittens will be on a course of metronidazole and will not be able to travel on the transport this weekend as planned. Their health is more important, so they will be staying a while longer to recover.

Spaghetti Cats

Meet Tortellini, Rigatoni and linguine! They are the Spaghetti Cats and they are my 3 new fosters. I've had them a week already, but they've had some pretty bad health issues. They are getting over URIs and the vet gave them clavamox that completely tore their bellies to shreds. For a few days, there were completely unable to control their bowels. It was a huge mess. The clavamox has been stopped and they are on Amforol for their tummies. It has worked for the most part, but two of them are still having some problems. Trust me, it's much better than it was!RigatoniLinguine

Tortellini

They will be traveling to their rescue in NJ on Saturday. They are going to the same rescue as Redford. By the way..... Redford was adopted the day after he arrived in NJ. This is what his new mom said:
"Hi. Thank u again for Redford. He's wonderful! I spent an hour with him and then left him alone to explore. I stopped by my house to check on him after he'd been alone a few hours and found him sleeping on my bed. He follows me from room to room and just wants to be wherever I am. It's cute that in my absence he sought my sent and camped out in my bed. I think he's accepted me as his mom :)"
