Bunny's New Home and her family in the lot

"kitten sandwich"©janneserojas2009

I haven't updated in a while because every moment home was a precious minute with Bunny before she was given to her new family this Sunday. It was with mixed feelings that we handed Bunny over to her lovely new family, we had been torn for weeks to keep her or to place her in a new home. We knew going in that we would be fostering her but we never anticipated how attached we would become. Bunny came into this home as a snarling, spitting, tiny kitten 7 weeks ago, and left a well adjusted loving young cat. Her new family has a spacious home for her to run in, a great outdoor space for her to get fresh air, 3 other cats who will provide the feline family she probably craves and two lovely tween/teen girls, Lucy and Maggie, who will give her tons of love and attention. I knew when the younger of the two sister's took off her sweater and was wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the word KITTEN, in silver studs, that we made the right decision. I hope that our little baby is adjusting well to her new life and we thank Lucy and Maggie for putting our hearts to rest.

Here are some pics of Bunny's last few days as a foster in our home and also some pics of her family remaining in the lot that we still take care of and would like to help find homes for the kittens.

Bunny watches Nora play the Piano

We brought Bunny to the vet this saturday, and she had all her vaccinations (rabies and distemper) and had a full checkup including FIV/Leukemia screening (waiting for results, I know she has nothing). Doc said she looks great! Healthy little girl and should be ready to be spayed in 2 weeks, she meets the weight requirement of 3lbs but he would like for her vaccines to get a chance to work themselves out in her system first.
Above you will find little Bunny watching Nora playing the piano, and tapping the computer keyboard herself, pretty dang cute!

R.I.P Sven

This evening I fed Sven and his siblings around 9pm and I said hi to little Sven, he was the only one around. Around 11pm I was taking Budda out for his walk and as I reached the bottom step of our apartment building I saw a little cat body laying by the curb by the fire hydrant near our building. First I thought it was Hissy, the daddy of all the babies and I started crying, then I realized that it may not be him and I looked at his little face and it was our beautiful Sven. A car must have just hit him, his body was still warm. I ran home and left Budda and got Debra, and we ran back downstairs and went over to see Sven and say our goodbyes crying hysterically, I still can't stop crying. We picked his little body up and put it aside in a bag, unfortunately this city provides no service to remove animals that have been killed on our streets. People drive like lunatics on our block they've now managed to kill the whole litter from early summer. Now I have no regrets that we took Bunny in.

Kitten in the HAUS!

Meet Bunny!

OMG! Kitten cuteness! Friday before the supposed Ida tropical storm Debra and made an attempt to capture one or more of the kittens in the lot to make sure they would be safe.Debra has been working with the kittens over weeks playing with a cat dancer to gain a little trust and to get near them. Little Tiny Dancer has the craziest play drive so she was so entranced by the game that Debra was able to sneak grab her and we quickly put her in a crate and brought her upstairs. We get to the apartment and we are like, well now what? So we called our TNR/foster friends Sonia and Kim to see if they had a cage we could borrow and see what the next steps would be in fostering this little baby. BTW I have to apologize to Sonia for calling her on her vacation I completely forgot in my excitement and I left her an insane message. Anyway Kim helped us out, thank goodness, because we had a growling hissing pound and half kitten sitting in our apartment. We went to the pet store got food, litter box and all accoutrements for a kitten. We set up the cage and then we tried to transfer her out of the crate into the cage, when Kim said oh just put the crate inside with the door open I assumed that kitten would high-tail it out of the crate into the cage, but no sir, she was refusing to budge even when I tipped the crate forward. The only choice we had was to just leave the whole crate in the cage overnight with the door open hoping she'd come out. At this point the little kitten was sounding like the exorcist with all her growling and spitting so Debra was getting nervous. I grew up with my grandmother bringing in the angriest ferals into our home, so I was ok with her, I knew she'd back away from us and the most she'd do is scratch which hurts but no major damage. In the morning when I woke up to walk my dog Budda, I figure I'd make an attempt to get her out of the crate while Debra slept so she wouldn't freak out. I took apart the crate like the vets showed us once, so the top was off and she dashed towards the back of the cage and hissed at me. The next day Kim came over and sat with us in front of the cage and the hissing had calmed down by that point, so although she recommended small steps like just sitting in front of the cage and putting our hand in without petting her, Debra decided to go a different route. She got out the baby food Kim left us and fed her on a spoon and with a big wooden spoon she pet the kitten, and while I took Budda out for his evening walking Debra managed not only to pet her, but give her a belly rub and carry her and put her in her lap for a pet, amazing! This little miss also allowed me to give her a long pet and to hold her in my arms. After we came back from dinner, Debra was back at it, and had that little kitten belly up in her arms with her eyes closed and getting a belly rub. So this morning I got to do the same. I have to say kittens are pretty damn irresistible. So this little girl, and she's definitely a girl, is called Bunny. We are going to foster Bunny we aren't sure we are going to keep her yet, so just keep up with the posts if you are interested, we are also hoping to get her remaining siblings, which only two remain, the other two have gone missing for 4 days, which is bad news. Ok well enjoy little Bunny adventures.

Note: sorry for the shitty pics, I had to set my camera at 1600 ISo so I can shoot in a very dark cage.

Sven and Esmé dinner time

Sven

Sven has adjusted really well to the lot again, he even started to trust me a little more. He and his mom Esmé have some choice words for each other when it's dinner time. Esmé is onto litter number 3 and I think she might have recently moved them into the lot but haven't spotted the babies yet. There have been multiple sightings of her in the lot and tearing up garbage bags, although the whole block feeds her. Little Sven is doing well after his nuts got the snip, he's still beautiful and scared, and his mom likes to give him a good whack on the head when foods involved. Here are some pics of them both including a shot just before an intense hissing argument began and mama Esmé giant teats. I'm keeping an eye out for those babies cause' we are gonna get 'em before the cars do, we don't want anymore kittens dying on State street.

Tense moment between Mama Esmé and Sven, they hissed right after this

Mama Esmé skinny long teats!
Yummy din din! Sven licks his dinner ever so lightly, he's such a delicate boy.
I wait here til ya leave Miss, I hate that flashy thing you have.
oh back to my delish meal! yum yum yum....
so long suckas!

R.I.P. Mr. Chomps

We are incredibly heartbroken, this has been probably one of the shittiest weeks in my life. The cherry on top of that crap cake is Mr. Chomps was killed by a car, one day before he was supposed to get trapped to get neutered and hopefully have found a good home for him. His little life was snuffed out by a speedy asshole, people race down our street like it's the BQE, which has killed 3 of the 4 kittens we were caring for. Baby Sven is the only one left and luckily he was trapped last night, so he will be neutered, tested and if he's able to be socialized we will try to find a home for him, any volunteers?

Daddy Hissy again, all beat up, poor guy.

Update August 5th: These are the resident cats and kittens in our lot next door. Mom and Pop have vacated the premises and are onto bigger things, they show their faces occasionally. The kittens, not all pictured, were still living in the lot until recently. One of the kittens was killed by a car the sweetest and tamest of the bunch Tigerino, and his sister Estrellita has been missing for 2 weeks. Chomps and Sven the two other boys are still living in the lot and are going to be capture for neutering and the released again. Debra and I are hoping that someone could foster them because Chomps has real potential for being a nice house cat. So if anyone is interested in fostering these kids please contact us at tinybeasttown@gmail.com. They will be neutered, dewormed, and vaccinated before they come into your home. Will most pics of the two kittens.
