An update on Giz

yea! just heard back from giz's new parents.. she's doing well. Was a little scared at first, but has come out of her shell.

*big goofy grin*

At the shelter

The first photo is us waiting at the shelter so they could be spayed. The second photo is of a number of the kitties waiting to be adopted. The cage on the left was where my five were stored, then there were two other cages of kittens as well.

can you say "overwhelming"?

Gimmie was adopted

yea! Gimmie was adopted today.. I'm so glad. She was so obnoxious, but she grows on you, and if I could have I probably would have kept her. Here's hoping that they bond to each other and are very happy with one another.
Star and Stripe are still up for adoption. I'm thinking it's going to be a while for them, as I asked that they go together. They were so bonded, that Stripe was starting to nurse on Star and she let stripe do it (man I hope who ever adopts those two comes up with better names!! lol) Since stripe has had that vaccine reaction, I'm sure that's going to make her more difficult to place, and that they should go together will also deter people, but I KNOW the right family will come along in the next week.. possibly two. *crosses fingers that who ever adopts them brings them to the clinic that I work at* But even knowing all this I still cried on the way home. Leaving kittens at the shelter after they are ready for adoption is VERY hard.

I also gave the kittens their first shot of distemper vaccine. Went over fairly well. The girls were hard to catch. I so need to get a TV in that room, so they get used to the sounds of people.

Deworming Jack

I gave Jack his second dose of dewormer today.. it did NOT go over well at all. It made him go all foamy at the mouth, he was quite ticked off at me. I tried to hide it in some wet food.. a total treat for him, but nope.. he ate around them. so I tried again, and poof they went down.. but he was so unhappy about it that he ran to the other side of the room when we were done.. I tried to coax him back with his ultimate favorite food - turkey baby food, and he came closer but made sure he stayed an arms length away from me. I feel so bad, but he so needed it. Well, not that I've seen any more worms coming from him, but I most definitely want to keep it that way!!

Pumpkin and Giz were adopted

Pumpkin and Giz were adopted today. :) I had a couple people looking at Gimmie, but sadly she didn't get adopted today. I am going to go back tomorrow and try and find her the perfect home. I am very much wanting it to be my home, but sadly I can't bring any more cats into the house due to the fact that Jack is Felv positive, and the FIP.. *sigh*

Tonight driving home from the movies we hit a kitty running across the road. The cat ran off, so we have no idea how injured it is.. hopefully not very. Totally shook me emotionally, though. Driving home from that, I saw a couple more kitties dead on the side of the road.

I really hate people.
