Tiggs has definitely claimed her room as her own domain!

She's eating plenty, after a day or so of only nibbling, and loves her cozy nest.

She's getting better about tolerating Cory in her room while I'm there, maybe because he's completely non-threatening and, while twice her size, not much older. She warns him, he looks at her in confusion, and flops where he is. I'm hoping that in time she'll learn that other cats are not necessarily a threat to her. She's not "aggressive" in a common sense, she can be easily distracted from a warning by dragging a shoelace in front of her or making her mouse toy squeak; I think it's more fear, she's a little girl who believes she has to look tough all the time to keep herself safe. We'll see what happens.

Meanwhile, here are a few videos of her:

Playing 2: Monkey Bars?

Playing 3: Both Paws!

Cuddly Kitty is Cuddly!

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!
