A Farrah Update!

From Farrah's new mom, Stacy on Monday......

We are doing great - we all adore her!! She waltzed in like she owned the joint. She's happy, running around, eating just fine - and doesn't seem stressed out at all - which really surprised me - I thought she would be a little frightened - but no. Ben (dog) adjusted just fine - like I thought - she ran right up to him - touched noses - batted at his face a little and ran off to see what else is fun. Our other cat is taking a little more time - he hissed and ran away - but now he's already started to creep up to watch her - so he's warming up - he watches her play and he's gonna want to join in - so I'm not worried. She's really a little love. I kept her in my mother's room last night with food/water/litter box - and she slept fine then in the morning cuddled up with my mother. It was very hard to go to work today - I think it may be a short day today...

Happy Monday!

Before Farrah left on Saturday, we let her have a quick visit with the other kitties. She fit in so well. She is already in her new forever home and we will post an update as soon as we get one.

Farrah Leaves Tomorrow :(

Farrah leaves for her new home in New Jersey tomorrow morning. Please pray for the transporters and everyone involved in getting Farrah and 3 other kitties safely to NJ. Wow, we are gonna miss that little girl, but I'll post updates when I get them.

Glamourpuss Farrah

I've created some cute "Glamourpuss Farrah" note cards in my etsy shop. 10% of my etsy sales go to the TNR group I work with and the rest goes to help with out-of-pocket fostering costs.

Gretchen Plays

On Thursday of last week, Gretchen played for the first time since being in the house. It was the first time I was able to interact with her, other than scritches and rubs. I've also been able to trim her front nails over the course of about three days. It's not easy. I'm having to snip them as they get snagged on the string toy or a pillow. She was like velcro and couldn't hardly walk across the bed without sticking and snagging. Most likely, she's never had a nail trim.
She's such a happy girl!!

Hey Pretty Girl!

Gretchen sure is coming along! She is always laying on the bed and we've even been able to snuggle and nap with her. We are so happy with her progress. We'll soon take her to the vet for FIV/FeLV testing and start integrating her with the others. We know she misses having other feline friends. Remember, she was once in a feral colony with at least four other kitties and they were always together. Then her colony friends disappeared and that's why she's here.
Ziggy LOVES her and she LOVES him. Sometimes he sneaks in the room when I open the door and I have to catch him quickly. He's only touched noses with her for a second once or twice. There's never been a single hiss and they both purr for the few seconds they are together. Can't wait until he can visit her for longer than a few seconds. I think Ziggy will play a very important role in Gretchen's coming out of the bedroom.

Farrah The Cute!

Farrah is still here. Her URI is getting better, but she still isn't well enough to travel the long distance to New Jersey. She could be with us until next weekend or until November 13th. Whatever time we get with her, we will cherish it. I am so excited because Farrah already has a forever home to go to. I've even been in contact with her new mom. She is wonderful and she has another kitty and a yellow lab who loves cats!
