Purr and Pounce

Checked the kitten room cam before going to sleep last night. Looks like they had a wild party and then all passed out. I bet there was catnip involved. 😹 🐱😴🎉😻

AGAIN.... typed up a caption and it didn't post with the photo. I don't know what the deal is.

ANYWAY....

Another update on Biscuit and Buttermilk!
Look at these sweet, happy faces!
Maddy says that they are both finally comfortable with her, and Buttermilk won't let Maddy stop petting her once she starts! They are happy in their new home and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome!

I typed up a caption for this and it disappeared. 😵‍💫

An update on Rikki, Tikki, and Tavi!

They are all doing great and pretty much clear of the respiratory virus! I took them and their sibling Khan (see previous post) to the vet on Monday, and she determined that no one is going to need Enucleation (eye removal) surgery! Yay!

Rikki (grey tabby) is doing perfect and his eyes were never really affected. Tikki's (bobtail tabby) eyes were bad at first but they look great! His vision is not affected at all. He will always have a little scarring on his eyes, but it's not that noticeable. Tavi's eyes were the most infected. Her eyesight is unfortunately affected, but she has ok sight in one eye. Her eyes will always look a little scarred and cloudy. But she can follow movement, and it seems to be improving a bit every few days. She can chase toys and her siblings, and can follow my finger when I move it back and forth in front of her. She will never be able to be an outdoor kitty, but she has enough sight to get around just fine. She acts like a normal, healthy, energetic kitten and is a total snuggly sweetheart that purrs when you snuggle her. ❤️

As soon as we feel all 4 are 100% recovered from the virus and after all 4 are vaccinated, we will be listing them for adoption! Keep checking back for updates!

Hey everyone! Meet Khan!

Khan is a sibling of our other fosters Rikki,Tikki, and Tavi, and was found and caught by our neighbors Steven and Jon over a week after the others were caught. He also has the respiratory infection his siblings did, but with antibiotics he is healing nicely. His eyes are barely affected and will be fine. With the OK from our vet, he was put with his siblings and they all started playing like they had never been separated. It was so sweet! I didn't think to get video of that moment. My apologies. 🫤

He is the sweetest little guy and likes to snuggle. It takes him a few minutes to warm up....his instinct is to run and hide when we come into the room. But once you're sitting in the room a while he comes out of hiding and is more willing to be picked up. So 4 little siblings, around 6-7 weeks old. Once we feel they are fully recovered and vaccinated, they will be listed for adoption. ❤️

Meet our new fosters, Rikki, Tikki, and Tavi!

Rikki and Tikki are the grey tabbies and they are both boys. Tavi is the black one and a girl. They are around 5 weeks old. They were rescued by our neighbors Steven and Jon, the kind gentleman who rescued Honey, Biscuit, and Buttermilk last year. These babies are from the same colony the 3 siblings from last year. They have been in Steven and Jon's tender care for the past week while we prepared our kitten room. They did an amazing job!

Just like Honey, Biscuit, and Buttermilk, these siblings have upper respiratory infections that have infected their eyes. Jon took them to our vet at Jackson Animal Clinic and they are on antibiotics and eye ointment. They are all eating well and have normal kitten energy, playing with each other and toys. The outlook on their eyes is positive so far. Rikki's eyes weren't terribly affected but Tikki and Tavi's eyes are.

We will see (pun intended), and hopefully they will continue to see. It appears so far that they all have eyesight.

Stay tuned for more updates on these cutie pie siblings!

GREAT NEWS!

Biscuit and Buttermilk went to their forever home this morning!

A kind woman named Maddy saw their pictures and fell in love with them. She lives 2 hours away, but her sweet grandparents were near the Jackson area today for a concert and they came and retrieved them for her.

It was hard to let them go. We've had them since they were around 5 weeks old and they are around 10 months. That's the longest time we've ever had a foster(s). They only know us, so I know they are really scared right now, wondering what has happened. I wish I could tell them they are in for an amazing life. I am 100% confident. But they will eventually realize it. And we are so grateful for Maddy, who looked past a cosmetic imperfection and fell in love with those sweet faces!

Because they are scared and skittish, we couldn't get our usual adoption photo. But Maddy sent me this one, and assured me they were safe and together. This is exactly why we insisted they go together. I knew they would need each other. Having grown up with 4 siblings, I totally understand the sibling bond. ❤️

Hello Everyone!

We've been terrible about posting more often, and I know this might be why not enough folks are seeing my posts about this sweet sibling pair.

Biscuit and Buttermilk are about 9 months old now, and they still need homes. They've been up for adoption since January. We've never had kittens this long, and it breaks my heart that no one has shown interest in these babies. They deserve to be in a real home, together, especially now that they have been together for so long now, I couldn't bear to split them up.

They are both super sweet natured cats. Biscuit is super affectionate, and Buttermilk is comfortable with human presence but is a bit shy. She's been letting me pet her more lately, though, especially when she's eating. 😂

They are both spayed, neutered, and fully vaccinated. Both very healthy and very energetic. The missing eye doesn't impede their ability to get around at all. They behave like totally normal cats, and between the 2 of them, they have a perfectly functional set of working eyes!😸

We will absolutely be willing to waive the adoption fee for a suggested donation instead. PLEASE consider adding these sweet, deserving babies to your family, you won't regret it! We would absolutely keep them if we didn't already have 5 indoor cats! And we need to clear up space in our kitten room, since kitten season is upon us!

Biscuit and Buttermilk are still available for adoption! They are a package deal. Biscuit is saying in those first few pictures "LOOK AT ME. LOOK AT MY SWEET FACE. ADOPT ME and my beautiful sister!"
They are sooooo ready to be in a home and out of our kitten room!

Honey went to his forever home yesterday! We totally forgot to take our usual photo so Jessica, Honey's new mom, was kind enough to send a selfie.
We feel confident that Honey is in for a wonderful, happy life! Thank you Jessica, for giving this sweet boy the home he deserves! ❤️

Hey everyone,

We are having a heck of a time getting our fosters adopted. Honey, Biscuit, and Buttermilk are getting tired and bored of being in our small kitten room. They need more space to run around as they are young and energetic!

They are 7 months old, spayed and neutered, and fully vaccinated. Absolute sweethearts.😸💞

Please help spread the word if you aren't interested in adopting. These sweet babies deserve to go to their fur-ever homes!
