Guess Who's back?
Why is it that the kittens I foster end up coming back to me after a while?...lol
Autumn never showed well at PetSmart when she was there to be adopted. She would huddle in the cage, zone out and not respond to any human. She has been in another foster home in Barrie since October and when it was decided that that person would no longer foster for us, Barb found herself taking in eight additional cats. When I found out that one of them was Autumn, I offered to take her back until she is adopted.
Autumn is a sweet little girl. She is ready to be spayed but we're going to wait until she has put on some weight plus she has a runny eye at the moment. Barb and I have decided that she will be adopted from my place rather than PetSmart. That way the person who is interested in her can see her in a home environment where she comes running when called, purrs every time you pet her and gets along with Sophie and the other cats.
I'm going to start posting the cats on Kijiji and Craigslist so hopefully we'll get the cats adopted.
Timothy Has A New Home
My sister Debbie decided that she would like to foster a cat so she filled out an application to foster with Toronto Cat Rescue. She did this a month ago and is still waiting to hear back from them. She followed up with them and they assured her that someone would be calling her very shortly. I guess they don't need good foster homes.
Anyway, she decided instead that she would take Timothy and give him a wonderful home. I took Timothy to her two weeks ago and he has been adjusting to his new home. He decided that he liked it under her bed and various other pieces of furniture rather than being out in the open in her apartment. She has been very patient and this weekend he didn't hide. He's taken to sleeping on the back of the couch in the evenings and she is able to get closer to him now. I'm waiting for the day she calls me to say that she was able to pick him up or he's sleeping on her lap. It might take a while but I know that day will come.

What a Mess!!!!
Just when you think things are running smoothly..........you wake up one morning to find that Maddison has the runs and has had "accidents" all through the dinningroom, kitchen and bathroom. It could have been worse - she stayed out of the livingroom where the carpet is...LOL Then Winston got it, followed by Timothy and the three kitens. What a smelly mess!!!! The good thing is the others didn't get it as bad as Maddison. She was on medication for two weeks but didn't get better so now I'm trying a different medication that I put in her food. The trouble is she knows it's in there and won't eat it. Another call to the vet is in order to try to clear this up.
