Rainbow

Rainbow (formerly Annie) is the most expressive kitty I've ever met. I believe I can perfectly understand her thoughts:


Here we go again ... she's going to rock me and sing to me ...


It's a good thing this kid is cute.


Ewwwwwwww!!!!! KID COOTIES!!!!

Achilles

Achilles came to us from a few blocks south of Hyde Park proper, where Adrienne works her kitty magic and Tanya keeps her Tribe. Adrienne (the rescuer of Ori, Solomon, et al.) was worried that the kitten was not being accepted by other cats and possibly has a back-leg injury. Diane and Ruth went to scope it out. Diane says, "We walked to the front to the building where we were met by any number of beautiful friendly cats. I'm particularly enamored with the very light tabby with blue eyes! This very small kitten came out of the bushes next door and when I knelt down to coax it closer, he went belly up and purred like a motor boat."

He has some as-yet-undetermined problem with his back legs. He is chez Fostermom Mireille receiving physical therapy (really!). His favorite activity is cuddling.

Achilles is two months old and has a perfect widdle tabby face with beautiful innocent eyes and a dainty white chin.

Minette

Look at that beautiful face. Minette came to us from Animal Care and Control with her three babies. Two of them died over the course of a very serious infection (this is not uncommon). Minette's remaining bebeh, Martha, has already found a home and is just waiting to be big enough to leave her mama. But Minette is still seeking her forever home! Minette is under a year old. She is very affectionate. Fostermom Claire says "she always wants to tag along." And also ... that face! Look at that face! Please consider adopting Minette and spreading the word about her. She is still a kitten at heart and a complete sweetheart.

Kittenpalooza, 12-3 on this coming Saturday the 10th at Parker's Pets

Lydia update

Lydia went to see our local vet today and we feel relieved: the eye is not an emergency situation. The vet recommended it be stitched over when Lydia is being spayed. Lydia continues to be extremely friendly and very inquisitive. Lydia has also gotten herself in the family way. We'll be nipping in the bud and Lydia will soon be available for adoption. She's a darling loving cat who has obviously faced something unpleasant in her recent life. Was she dumped? We'll never know (no chip, no collar, no owner coming forward). Please consider giving this beautiful lass a forever home!!! previous post on Lydia

Thanks to Ruth and Mireille for getting Lydia to the vet ... and to Diane for finding her! And to Amy for the fosterhome.

Thanks to everyone who donated to cover Lydia's visit to the vet today: Ginny L., Margaret B., and Joan P. Thanks to Veronica W. for her general donation, and to Ben G. for donating to baby Moses' care. Your donations keep us "in business."

Dudley

Dudley is a very friendly and affable, easy-going, 5-year old (approx) male cat found in Kenwood, around 47th and Greenwood. He could not be persuaded to leave the porch he was found on. Surely he had an owner (he is chubby!) but nobody has stepped forward.

Dudley is neutered, FeLV and FIV negative. He's been vaccinated and treated for worms/fleas. We are seeking a new home for Dudley! He'll fit right into your home and your life.

Lydia

Lydia is a very pretty calico found nearish to Black and White Cat World. Diane, the B/W caretaker, says her husband Jerry "scared the kitty out of the peony bush near our parking area when he came down to help bring in groceries last night. note to my husband: help bring in groceries. He said there is something wrong with her eye. I knelt down to take a look and try to coax her out --imagine my horror when she looked at me with one eye and a pink socket! I put some food down immediately, because who goes grocery shopping without buying cat food, and she immediately went for it."

Lydia is a very sweet and affectionate cat. She is a young adult, apparently has had kittens at some point in the not too distant past, and ... has a very distressing problem with her eye. She is ravenous. After a stopover at Ruth's Hotel de Garage she is now with fostermom Amy who says she is the friendliest cat she's ever met, and it's hard to take pictures because Lydia keeps getting right up into the camera in order to be close to her new fostermom.
