Sleepy and Growing Up

Inga

The kittens are now 9 weeks old and they will be going for their full vetting this weekend which means they will be getting spayed and neutered (so scary and sad, but for the best), plus vaccinated and tested for FIV/FeL. They have blossomed into amazing kittens and they are definitely going to make for delicious cats. This weekend they graduated to full freedom which means no more crating overnight or when we are out of the apartment, this has helped tremendously in keeping their crazies in check. When they spent the whole night in a crate they would get so stir crazy that they made us insane for a couple of hours. Now they are so sweet and are happy to see us in the morning or when we get home. They all willingly come for a snuggle or a pet, and they ALL love the dogs which is amazing to see.

These little guys are also working on eating one less meal so instead of their four meals, which consisted of wet food and dry to graze on, they are down to 2 bowls of wet and one bowl of dry. Very exciting stuff, I know, but it's important to be aware of a kittens eating habits for proper weight gain, especially for spaying/neutering.

Francie is just loving her playtime with the kittens she especially loves Bjorn, but all the kittens will seek her out to play. The kittens are all showing their personalities now, Bjorn is still the most outgoing, and independent but he will seek you out for a pet or just to hang out with you, he has no fear of the dogs and will get up in their faces. Little Olaf, is a fatty, he loves to eat, that kitty hasn't met a meal he didn't like. He's also the tidy cat, he will go into the litter box after his brother or sister have gone in to make sure everything has been properly been covered. Olaf likes to be held and will stay in your arms the longest for a snuggle. And tiny Inga, is a petite Miss, who will spend hours playing on her own while her brothers rough-house. She will also come over for pets or actively seek out the dogs for attention, and she likes to make meaningful eye contact, it's pretty mesmerizing.

So we really need to find for these guys so spread the word. If you like to meet one or all of these guys please feel free to email me at tinybeasttown@gmail.com

Sleepy time, Inga curled and Olaf stretched out.

CAT ADOPTION FORM

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.

The new teeny residents

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.
