Sleep and food, the important things

Permalink 04/03/09 19:27, by Steph Shangraw, Categories: Eva

Kittens grow up so very fast, don't they? I mean, just look at this picture from today!

Just kidding -- call it a belated April Fools'. :)) Eva is, however, 10.25 ounces, easily three times the size she was when she came to live with us.

The other big news of the day: we've been holding Eva out to the adult cats to sniff at every possible opportunity. This morning, Angel not only sniffed her, but gave her one lick, which turned into at least a dozen, washing one side of her face and part of her side. Eva looked confused, mostly. I wish we'd had the camera handy! If she'll start helping with the socializing at all, it'll be a wonderfully useful thing, very good for Eva's education!

I'm awfully far behind on the photos that should be posted here, and I'm hoping to get them up tonight, finishing tomorrow if necessary. Anyone wanting to make LOLcats of them on ICHC, go ahead, just put this as the source and make sure to let me know so I can add it here!

For the moment, however, here are today's videos:

My sleepy baby girl:

Bottle-feeding:

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!
