Still no room at the inn

It's been a while since I've had a chance to update this blog. Zeta is currently in training and has just one more class to go (though there may be a follow-up session or two). She's such a smart girl that she learns quickly, even though we don't reinforce the training nearly as much as we should. She still has some of the insecure behaviors but the trainer is dedicated to helping us work through them. Friends have said that she's gotten better, and we can see it every day in little ways.

We've taken in a hamster with a skin condition that makes it unadoptable. He's perfectly happy and doesn't seem to realize he's "too unsightly to be adopted." I think he's fantastic.

Our amazing foster cat Kenneth was adopted very quickly from the adoption floor. We brought home a "too little", who had us concerned for a while but has lately rebounded and might even be adoptable soon.

More about him coming soon.

We also have a new adult cat, Madeline. She goes in for her spay surgery tomorrow and is adoptable NOW. She's a very shy cat and was not doing well on the adoption floor, so we brought her home. She's very nervous, but hopefully we can help her get more comfortable with life. She's between 5 months and one year. I'll post new photos of her soon, also.

Adopted!

Kenneth has gone home! So happy but sad to see that sweet guy go.

This guy is awesome.

Seriously couldn't ask for a nicer, more affectionate cat. I'm curious to see how he'd do when not confined to a room, but he's still recovering from neuter surgery, so we'll give it a couple more days.

He came home with me on Sunday because was on his second round of cold medicine, but he's been fit as a fiddle since his second day with us. Go figure. I think the shelter just really stresses him out.

He's a solid guy. 10 lbs, 2 years. He has a cute little white ascot and bikini. He loves to play but loves attention even more.

We go out of town next week, so unfortunately we'll have to say goodbye to this awesome cat. He'll make some very lucky family very happy.
