Adopt me I'm the cutest kitty!

The kittens went to spend their day yesterday at the North Shore Adoption Van in the city so they can be shown off to the public. I was told they were the stars of the "show". There were two other batches of kittens but our guys were the tiniest and the cutest, and they've got spunk!
The car ride there and back was helacious it was 94 degrees and our ac wasn't working in the car, we all felt like we were ina swoon. Have you ever seen little kittens pant, it's adorable and terrifying. The whole time it was a race to get to our destination because we thought they were gonna die or faint, and of course NYC downtown traffic makes almost impossible to go anywhere fast. We hear that there are a couple of people interested in our guys but who knows only time will tell. They were so relieved to be home that after a good chow down they past out asleep where ever they were at the moment. This weekend has been pretty exciting for the kittens aside from their big city adventure, they've learned to scale fences, jump onto coffee tables, & sneak attack the dogs. Now they need a full-time adventure of a new loving home.

Tiny purrs

Olaf

Yesterday Debra had a breakthrough with the kittens (Inga, Bjorn, and Olaf) she got everyone to purr when they're pet, especially with belly rubs. Little Bjorn has taken a shine to Miss Francie, our chiwa, so last night he tried to nurse from her and Francie walked away not liking it so much. Francie also tried to establish her dominance over Bjorn by humping the little fluffy guy. They hate their medicine (taking antibiotics) but they take it like champs. When I was preparing their dinner I had two kittens climbing up my leg trying to get to the counter, I think they thought my leg was a tree!

We trusted them to stay outside their cage, yesterday, for 20 mins while we walked the dogs and they were fine, they didn't wreak havoc or get into any unreachable areas of the apartment. The second time we trusted those rascals, someone decided a potted planted would make a great loo! Their just too young and small to run back to their cage where their litter box is, in time. So they really need some bathroom breaks and then they are fine. Debra's also been taking them individually into our building hallway for some one on one activities, this way they can learn about people affection without siblings to distract them. We've also had a slew of friends visit, which has been great in socializes these little beasts.

Sweet Kitty Love! Two kitties for Adoption

These two kids are the cat's meow. Robert and Selia are both young cats with super past drama. Robert is a young male probably about 2-3yrs old and was hit by a car and had to recuperate from a dislocated hip, now he's right as rain and a super lover deluxe!!! Robert wants to hang out with you, snuggle, get belly rubs and just give lots of sweet, sweet kitty love. He's interested in other animals but has not be tested yet, but we think he'll be ok with other cats. He really wants a home where he's paid a lot of attention and someone who won't leave him alone for too long.

Miss Selia, is 8mths old and was almost a mommy because her original owners thought it would be ok to let an unspayed female out for a midnight walk, apparently she had a one-night stand and well you know what happens next. So she's spayed and a happy, loving girl. Little Selia is petite, loves to give you licks and head butts to show her love even if you just met you. She just has issues with other cats, can you blame her she got knocked up with the only other cat she ever met! More pics of Selia

Selia and Robert are both up for adoption and are currently being fostered in Queens

If you have any questions about the kitties please feel free to leave a post.

The new teeny residents

Inga and Björn in front Olaf in back

Meet Björn, Olaf and Inga, the 3 six week old kittens just newly arrived.

These little babies were born outdoors and were a surprise to the TNR folks who trapped their mom. Turns out when she was trapped they realized mommy was lactating so they went in search of her babies. After a couple of days these three sweeties were found and they were under a week old. Since then they were being fostered by my aunt but she has too many kitties so we are taking over for a bit and get these guys socialized.

First night the dogs were curious and the kittens weren't sure what to make of everything. Little Inga kept approaching Francie and hissing. Björn was exploring the top of the couch and kept poyncing on his brother and sister. And little Olaf had a tummy ache so he kept snuggling the pillow. Björn and Inga ate a little and the three passed out.
