Little Miss Pumpkin is still waiting, Stevie has a home, and here comesGingy!

Stevie was adopted by a family with three young girls on Christmas Eve! Little Miss Pumpkin misses her best pal!

Gingy, a 1-2 year old female has moved into our office. She doesn't like other cats, so we have to give her her own space for now!

Soda Pop got adopted!

She found her forever family in record time, just one week at our place!

Little Miss Pumpkin also has a potential suitor and may leave sometime next week.

Meet Soda Pop!

She is around 1 year old. She isn't shy and has already raided the toy box!

Chimney is adopted!

Today at the Côte St-Luc adoption day, Chimney found a home! That leaves Little Miss Pumpkin, Stevie and Butterscotch, plus new arrival, Soda Pop.

Chim chiminee, chim chiminee, chim chim cheree!

Welcome Chimney, or newest foster. He has been living outside as a stray with a good Samaritan feeding him. Now he is safe and warm in our bathroom. He can join the brood after his vaccines! He isn't too frightened and doesn't hide. He'll do just fine!

Little Alien has found a home, but there are still 3 kittens waiting!

Little Miss Pumpkin est devenue HYPER affectueuse et très, très sociable. Elle est tout le temps sur moi, elle ronronne, donne des petits becs, etc.
Little Miss Pumpkin has become SUPER affectionate and very, very sociable. She is always on me, she purrs, gives little kisses, etc.







Butterscotch est très indépendante, mais quand même sociable. Elle joue beaucoup avec les autres.
Butterscotch is very independent, but still very friendly. She places a lot with the others.





Stevie reste cachée la majorité du temps, mais on commence à pouvoir l'approcher. Elle a peut-être besoin d'un foyer avec moins d'action!
Stevie stays hidden most of the time, but we are starting to be able to approach her. She might need a home with a bit less action!

Stevie is so cute!

Lip smackingly good!

Stevie is gaining confidence, and I can coax her out from under the sofa with yummy food.

One Departure and 3 New Arrivals!

I brought Cooney (Perlene) and Little Alien (Lotus) to Adoption Day in Dollard-Des-Ormeaux on Saturday. Cooney got adopted, but not Little Alien. Since coming home from Adoption Day, she is super social and slept in our bed last night.

Little Alien chills in the new cat hammock.

Butterscotch, 5 months, female calico

Stevie, 5 months, female medium hair

The big news is I came home with THREE more kittens, all from different litters, all born outside. I don't know them too well as they are so far quite shy and enjoy being under the couch. They've definitely adopted each other though, as they were living in a cage together until I could take them in. The photos aren't great yet because they are quite camera shy.

Coony likes the new cat tree!

Three Brothers ALL Adopted Today! Welcome Lil' Alien & Coony

It was a very busy adoption day indeed today. Clin d'oeil, Kiwi and Snoro all found forever families this morning. I brought home two baby girls, Siamese crosses (or 22nd and 23rd fosters).

(Ra)coony

Little Alien

The little white one is known as Lotus, but we call her Little Alien, her sister with the mask looks like a Racoon, so Gandalf calls her Coony.

Three Brothers Remain!

Half of the sextuplets have been adopted. Catan (aka Kiwi), Sheldon (aka Clin d'oeil) and Little Brownie (aka Snoro) are still waiting. Since Triangle (Chausson) got adopted, these three have turned on the charm! You can't sit down without one, two or even three on your lap. Little Brownie is a total suck, he will flop down at your feel, roll on his back, and make perfectly clear that it is time to lavish him with attention. Sheldon and Catan really, really like people food, and so they are always close at hand come meal time. The three of them chase toys (and each other) all over the place. They are neutered now and recovered from their cold, so they are totally ready to go!

This is kind of embarrassing.

Presenting Catan & Sheldon!

Sheldon (known as Clin d'oeil on the ARN site)

Catan (known as Kiwi on the ARN site)

They're both as sweet, playful and cuddly as the others. They've settled right in!

Target & Captain America Adopted!

On Saturday Target and Captain America were adopted, and I brought home the remaining siblings, two more grey tabby boys! So, we now have Little Brownie (who didn't end up being adopted, so he's looking for a family too), Triangle, and the two new brothers, Sheldon and Catan. (In honor of "Big Bang Theory" and our favourite board game, "Settlers of Catan.") Pictures are forthcoming, but basically Sheldon and Catan look and act exactly like Triangle, Captain America and Target!

The 4 Musketeers!

The four new kittens are awesome! They are all super friendly, super cute and very affectionate and playful. Little Brownie (official name: Snoro) is already spoken for, but the triplets are all looking for homes. Although it's hard to tell them apart, we have found a marking on each on that helps identify them, and has given them their nicknames.

America (it's hard to see, my husband sees it)

Four New Friends!

Four new fosters have arrived. Snoro, the dark tabby, is spoken for, but the triplets (all grey, all male, impossible to tell apart) are looking for homes.

Pirate & Pepper Find Their Home-Sweet-Homes

Pepper has been renamed Myau (pronounced My-O) and is settling in with a very good friend of mine and his other cat, Gumshoe. She's a trouble maker but I think she'll do just fine.

Pirate's surgery went off without a hitch, though he does look a bit rough now that his eye is sewn shut and his face is half shaved! He will be adopted by another good friend who has agreed to take care of him as he recovers from surgery. (He needs antibiotics.) Pirate's new name is Lefty, in honour of his one good eye! (Although I think Winky might have been a good name too!) Lefty will be little brother to Milo, here's hoping that they get along!

Pepper (aka Myau) in her new home.

Pepper is full of spice and everything nice!

Words cannot even describe how affectionate and cuddly this kitten is. Of all the 15 cats that have come through our home, Pepper is the absolute most affectionate feline we've ever encountered. She is playful and gets along great with other cats, but above all she adores people. She wants to be with you wherever you are, on your lap, next to you in bed, she gives you kisses and purrs like a little motor. She also has a strange affinity for people food... so far she has been stealing noodles off plates and licking up strawberry scone crumbs when I turn my back! Pepper is 6 months old and ready for a new home, hopefully by the end of the summer!

Welcome Pepper, Foster Fifteen!

Presenting Pepper, a beautiful calico kitten, about 6 months old. She's getting spayed tomorrow. Pepper has only been here half a day and is already pretty at home. She purrs when you pet her, although she is a bit defensive at first. She is simply gorgeous!

Je vous présente Pepper, une belle calico d'à peu près 6 mois. Elle va se faire opérée demain. Pepper est chez nous depuis même pas une journée, et elle s'habitue déjà. Elle ronronne quand on la flatte, malgré qu'elle est un peu sur la défensive au début. Elle est tout simplement belle!

Pirate Purrs!

Pirate is adjusting well to foster home life, and his eye doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. He is rambunctious and playful, and now purrs when we pet him (as opposed to hissing).

Pirate s'habitue bien à la vie en foyer d'accueil, et son oeil ne semble pas lui faire mal. Il est actif et enjoué, et il ronronne (au lieu de se fâcher) quand on le flatte.

Ahoy mateys! Here comes Pirate!

Pirate is a 4 month-old tabby cat with white paws. He is a special case because he is blind in one eye. He may even lose his bad eye, we don't know yet. For now he is isolated in our bathroom "nursery" and is very, very nervous. (As you can see from the photo.) It's not too hard to give him his medication, but he obviously doesn't trust humans yet.


Pirate est un chaton tigré de 4 mois avec des pattes blanches. Il est un cas spécial, car il est aveugle dans un oeil. Il perdra peut-être son oeil, on ne sais pas encore. Pour l'instant, on l'isole dans la salle de bain, et il est très, trèse nerveux. (Comme vous verrez dans la photo.) Ce n'est pas trop difficile de lui donner ses médicaments, mais il ne fait évidemment pas confiance aux humains pour le moment.

Canuck already adopted!

Canuck was adopted last week, after a short stay at our place. He quickly became an affectionate and laid-back kitty, so his new family, who will call him Biscuit, will love him.

Canuck a été adopté la semaine passé, après un court séjour chez nous. Il est rapidement devenu un chaton tranquille et affectueux, alors sa nouvelle famille, qui l'appelera Biscuit, l'adorera.

Welcome, Canuck, our 14th Foster Cat!

That's right, we have successfully placed 13 cats and kittens since September 2010. Our latest arrival is a 1 year old male called Canuck!

C'est vrai, on a réussi à faire adopter 13 chats et chatons depuis septembre 2010. Notre 14e est un mâle d'un an qui s'appelle Canuck!

All the Kittens are Adopted! Time for Loba & Capucine!

Capucine

Loba (also known as Loulou)

These sisters are 4 months old. When they arrived, they were not very social and were terrified of anything that moved. Within a week, they've become totally different creatures. Loba is curled up in my lap, purring away as I write this, and Capu is peacefully watching the world go by through the window. These two have beautiful colours in their long fur besides having sweet personalities!






Ces soeurs ont 4 mois. Quand elles sont arrivées chez nous, elles n'étaient pas sociables et elles avaient peur de tout ce qui bougeait. Dans moins d'une semaine, elles ont totalement évolué! Loba dort sur mes genoux pendant que j'écris ce billet, et Capu regarde tranquillement par la fenêtre. Ces deux chatons ont de superbes couleurs dans leur pelage et des personnalités charmantes!

Five Kittens! Cinq chatons!

 Five kittens, about 5 weeks old, have taken up residence in our bathroom. Although quite ill when they arrived, they are now quite healthy and up to their kittenly antics. In about a month, they will be looking for their forever homes.

Grizzly... male/mâle... grey/gris
Skinny... male/mâle... black/noir
Panda... female/femelle... black with a white spots on her belly/noir avec des tâches blanches sur son ventre
Lady Gaga... female/femelle black with tiny white hairs on her back/noir avec des petits poils blancs sur son dos
Cyclops...female/femelle black with one small white patch on her neck/noire avec une petite tâche noire sur le cou



Cinq chatons, âgés d'à peu près 5 semaines, habitent maintenant notre salle de bain. Ils sont arrivés très malades, mais aujourd'hui ils sont en santé et très actifs. Dans un mois, ils seront prêts à être adoptés!

Adopted!

On Saturday, March 26th, Willow was adopted by a family with two little girls. Tegan was also taken in by another family as a foster cat, and if it works out with her, they will adopt her! A mother and her kittens will soon be taking up residence at our place...

Samedi le 26 mars, Willow a été adoptée par une famille avec deux petites filles. Tegan a aussi été prise en famille d'accueil, et si ça fontionne, sa famille d'accueil l'adoptera! Une maman et ses chatons seront bientôt chez nous...

Tegan et Willow seront à la prochaine journée d'adoption, le 26 février!

Venez rencontrer Willow et Tegan demain à Anjou!

http://arn-rsa.rescuegroups.org/info/events

Come meet Willow and Tegan tomorrow in Anjou!

Tegan is one of the pack!

Tegan is part of the gang! Willow turns her back to the action.

Hard to believe she spent 2 months under the sofa.

Tegan has been fully adopted by Pandora & Abba as one of the pack. Today she got groomed by both of them simultaneously! Although Willow isn't one to snuggle with other felines (she prefers humans), she still likes to be nearby. Abba & Pandora will miss their foster sisters, but they deserve to go to their forever homes.

Pandora et Abba ont complètement accepté Tegan comme une de la gang. Aujourd'hui elles ont même fait sa toilette! Bien que Willow n'aime pas se coller aux félins (elle préfère les humains), elle aime quand même rester proche. Abba et Pandora vont s'ennuyer de leurs soeurs, mais elles méritent de trouver leurs familles permanentes.
