In the Living Room

10/22/10 22:31, by Steph Shangraw, Categories: Tiggs

We're bringing Tiggs into the living room in the evening, to relax on the couch between us for two or three hours. She's putting up with having a harness and leash on, just-in-case, and hardly seems to notice it. She's getting more tolerant of the boys… more »

Stretching

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… more »

Playful + Affectionate = Tiggs

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-thr… more »

Tiggs' Nest

Last night, we set up a radio, with the volume on low, in Tiggs' room. I made her a sleepy-spot on the bed underneath a reading lamp with a 60-watt bulb in it, something one of my cats with similar short fine fur (now across the Rainbow Bridge) used to… more »

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!
