Updates!

All of my fosters are settling in / continuing to do well in their new forever homes!

Ozzy (formerly Magnus) is having a wonderful time with new parents Anthony and Nicole -- and growing into a big boy!  5.5 pounds at his November vet appointment I believe - so I'm sure he's even bigger now!

Spock continues to enjoy life at my parents' house with his new best pal Felix.  Spock enjoys climbing into boxes, sleeping on my Mum's sewing table, knocking over trash cans, and snuggling.  He's a long and lanky cat with an extra long tail!

According to new parents Dick and Joyce, Mac and Cheese (formerly Tabitha and Napoleon) enjoy watching the birds and the squirrels through the window at the bird feeder, watching TV, and playing with the computer  mouse and with each other.  Mac is Dick's best bud and follows him around everywhere, while Cheese is Joyce's girl.

Although still a little skittish around new people, Xena (formerly Buick) is turning into quite the lap kitty with new parents Karen and Chuck.  She is very affectionate with them.

It's so nice to hear about happy endings!  I'm expecting photos of several of these feline friends soon - and will share them if / when I get them!  : )

Spock Update

Spock, the first of my kittens to be adopted (by my parents, no less!) is doing WONDERFULLY!

Here he is (above) with new best friend Felix, just relaxing in my parents' living room.

My parents report that Spock and Felix are almost always together... and that Spock has an unbelievable amount of energy that wears 2 year old Felix out sometimes!

What a great match this was between my parents - Felix - and Spock! I can't wait to see Felix again for myself in just a couple of weeks!

Adoption Update

MAGNUS...
Great news! Magnus has found a home! In the next couple of weeks Magnus will travel to the Ann Arbor area to live with his new kitten parents - Anthony & Nicole. I'll be sure to post photos and an update when his official adoption date arrives!

SPOCK...
I was at my parents house this weekend and got to see first-hand how great Spock is doing and how famously Spock and his feline brother Felix are getting along!

Bathing / cuddle / nap time on my Dad's lap!

NAPOLEON & TABITHA
Still no adoption news for these cuties (photos in post below). I'll be sending out an e-mail to everyone I know this week with pictures, a link to the blog, and a request for them to forward to e-mail to everyone THEY know as well. If you're following this blog and would be willing to send a copy of the e-mail out to your cohorts - do drop me a line at joanneroehm@yahoo.com

I named these two kittens together, a little tribute to husband and wife hip hop choreographers Napoleon & Tabitha D'umo of So You Think You Can Dance fame. It would be so appropriate if someone wanted to adopt these two kittens together and take them home to dance around their house together!

Quick Spock Update

Here are a few photos, courtesy of my parents, of Spock settling into his new home and getting to know his new sibling Felix. The pair have been getting on famously without a single growl, hiss or arched back - even upon first meeting! Clearly they are destined to be best buddies!

Spock Goes Home!

This weekend my parents came into town and took Spock, who they are adopting, back with them to their home.

Spock is heading to their house in Tecumseh where he will live with my parents and his new feline brother, Felix. He is going to have such a great home and since he's with my parents - I'll be able to see him for the rest of his life! So exciting!

Before they headed back to the East side of the state we snapped some pictures...

The first picture of me with all four of my babies! They're so big!

Magnus wanted to be the center of attention.

Me and Spock with his new collar, all ready to head to Tecumseh.

Adopters Susan & Philip Eversden with Spock.

I would be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear after they left! I'm not sure why I got emotional - I am VERY happy for him to be going to my parents' and I will see Spock next Friday when I head down there for part of the weekend. I guess it's just a little hard to see the babies go! This is one of the reasons I couldn't be a kitten foster all the time - although I suppose it would get easier over time!

Stay tuned for more Spock updates, and for more kitten adoption news!
