Adopted Tinker & Leia

Angel Annie — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:22:10 +0000

Dan & I have decided to adopt Tinker & Leia. They’re now getting on well together and Dan in particular couldn’t bear to give them up. Leia is a little charmer, which is lucky as she’s also into everything and Tinker has settled in lovely with no signs of aggression at all, although he does love to play.

It does mean I’ll be giving up fostering for the Cat Protection, but I’ll continue with managing their website and go along to events when I can.

Leia arrived

Tinker seems to be settling in well now, so we’re attempting to pair him up with another cat. Leia, a 9 week old female tabby kitten, arrived today so we’ll see how they get on together. We gave her the name Leia as she’s currently behaving like a proper little princess, hissing like a steam train whenever Tinker comes too close to her. Hopefully they’ll soon settle in and start playing with each other.

I don’t like to be without a cat for long, so I collected Tinker today. He’s a 3 year old grey boy and seems to have settled in very quickly. Apparently he has been aggressive in the past so we’re going to see how he settles in and assess his temperament again.

Liquorice handed back

Unfortunately Liquorice didn’t settle very well. While he seemed to be fine initially he started using the sofa instead of his litter tray. As our sofa is still very new we decided he’d be better elsewhere where he could be isolated in a smaller area and hopefully settled into a home environment more gently.

Dan & I are now fairly well settled so I’m allowed to start cat fostering again )

We want to make sure we don’t take on too much to begin with, so we’re starting with Liquorice, an older boy with only 1 eye who’s currently in a single room. It’ll be good for him to have more space, and hopefully a gentle start for us into looking after a cat again.

Jessie & Timmy Collected

With the move now just around the corner I’m going to have to stop fostering for a while. It will be easier on both me and the cats for them to be looked after elsewhere during the move, and I’m planning on taking a break while Dan & I get sorted.

This means Jessie & Timmy have to be returned though. It’s a bit of a shame as they’ve been really settling in. Jessie was always fine with me, but has now accepted Dan as well. We’ve also discovered that she loves chasing a laser light around the room. Timmy has come on in leaps and bounds now, and from hiding behind the sofa constantly he now enjoys the odd bit of fuss and will sit on the sofa with me. Hopefully they’ll be adopted by a good family soon and enjoy a proper home.

Collect Jessie & Timmy

I thought I was going to be fostering Holly & Ivy when I got back, but they’d already been adopted (not surprising really as they looked adorable little kittens). Instead I’ve taken on Jessie & Timmy, another pair of kittens. This pair have had a bad start in life, Timmy (3.5 months) was born feral and is still very scared of people. Jessie (6 months) was treated very badly in her first home and is only gradually trusting men again. It’s certainly going to be a challenge getting this pair ready to be adopted!

Columbo Adopted

The fosterer I transferred Columbo to took him home with her to her parents for Christmas, and they love him and won’t let him go! It’s great news that he’s found a good home, but I’m really going to miss him. He had so much character I’m sure he’s going to delight his new family.

Columbo transferred

Where I’m going away for Christmas I had to say goodbye to Columbo. He was transferred to another fosterer for the festive period who was going to take him with her to her parents, and I’m sure he’ll have a great time with so much company. My house seems very quiet now though without him, I’m really going to miss him as he was such a character.

Collected Columbo

My next foster cat is Columbo, he’s about 1 year old and long haired. He’s only got 1 eye due to a nasty infection but he seems to be coping well. He’s been in care with the CPL since August but kept in a single room, so I’ve now got him to give him a home life experience before he gets adopted. He doesn’t like to be left alone, so keeping him out of the bedroom at night could be interesting!
