Stretching

Permalink 10/21/10 19:11, by Steph Shangraw, Categories: Tiggs

Well, I do have a short video of Tiggs showing off her flexibility -- she loves to stretch, and a few times I've seen some downright amazing stretches!

Also, she's been here for a week tomorrow evening, and in that time, she's grown much more tolerant during her meetings with our two neutered males. The pictures show her and Trick this afternoon; also, this afternoon, she allowed Cory to sniff her and walk by very close to her with only a token hiss at his tail as he passed.

Last night we brought her into the living room and she spent over an hour on the couch snuggled between us, or more accurately, snuggled against Sean's side with her head and one paw over his arm, her chin resting on the pulse-point in the crook of his elbow. She ignored the other cats, they ignored her. I'm hopeful that she'll learn to tolerate other cats, if not make friends with them, but she's definitely going to want a human who can spend lots of quality time with her -- no going to work for 12-hour days and coming home and falling asleep for her, she'd be miserable.

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!
