Suppertime with Trick

Permalink 03/28/09 20:05, by Steph Shangraw, Categories: Eva

Eva's up to 7.1 oz!!!

And she's getting stronger and more curious with every day that passes.

We're trying to get her out of her "house" as often as we can, and the more we do, the happier she is. Instead of the first time or two, when she just could not settle down for more than a few minutes, she's fallen asleep curled up against me (inside my shirt, at one point, having wriggled in there herself) a few times. She cries less when she's been out for a while, too. So we'll try to continue with that, to whatever extent is possible through the week -- Sean has a twice-weekly class in coping with chronic pain starting this week at the YMCA down the street, and we certainly can't have her out if we're out or asleep, that wouldn't be safe at this point. But we'll try.

We're getting better with the camera! We're not using the flash, that's just too hard on tiny eyes, so we're having to experiment with lighting a bit.

Here's a video from around suppertime, and a few pics Sean took a little later. Eva fell asleep, well, not exactly in my armpit, but in the angle of my upper chest and upper arm while I was lying on my side.

Follow up:

The lives of various fostered kittens and cats: Eva, born March 15 and abandoned the next day; Cory, orphaned at two weeks in mid-April and rejected by a foster-momcat April 17; Kate, Ryu, Zephyr, and Aurora, who were surrendered as "strays" on June 22 at roughly 4 weeks old; the "Sneezies", 6 3-month-old kittens who developed a respiratory infection; Beauty, Belinda, and Benny, a brave momcat and her two kittens; Tiggs, a very young mom.

Eva has gone to her forever home, and her family will continue to give us updates here. Cory is staying permanently with us. Kate, Zephyr, Ryu, and Aurora were all quickly adopted. Gambit and Stella have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but Boomer, Archie, the black twins, and Beauty have all been adopted; Benny was, I believe, adopted by his other foster family

Please support your local shelter and rescue organizations so they can continue rescuing babies (just like these ones!) and adult animals who need assistance! Many shelters are in need of donations of supplies (ask for a wish list) and time (at a wide range of jobs) just as much as financial help. Rescue organizations have a wide variety of things they can use help with, contact yours and ask.
If you're looking for a pet, please adopt one that needs you!
