A Sweet Week

Here’s a riddle.          It’s really scary if it starts in February.            I’ll give you a minute.

Kitten Season.

Older Daughter called from work on Friday.  Hey Mom, remember our maternity ward last year?  Remember when you fostered all of those pregnant mom cats so they could have their kittens in peace instead of in the midst of the chaos of a shelter?   Yes - I said.     Well, can we do that again?    Yes - I said.  But why are you asking now?


Uh huh.  This is a beautiful soon-to-be-mom kitty who came into the shelter and is now set up here.  I was completely startled by how much she looks like the Winnie’s Wisher Glitter who was just adopted in December (to R and C who also adopted Circe and Cashmere at the same time!)  Just look at the resemblance!  Therefore, her name is Glimmer.

And so it begins.  Last year in February, I was only just beginning to think about Kitten Season.  In fact, last year, I spent February doing weekly TWOsday posts to generate interest in adoptions of the adult cathouse cats.  On each TWOsday (Tuesday) in February, I highlighted TWO kitties at a time - those who had been adopted as a pair, and those Winnie’s Wishers who I hoped might BE adopted as a twosome.  One of those pairs was Percy and Golden who did, in fact, end up being adopted together (by Mindy Slimmer).  Today, in honor of Valentine’s Week, I want to push a pair.  I have only one couple currently in the cathouse that I would really love to see go to a home TWOgether.   That would be Truly and Shiloh.

Truly and Shiloh

Here’s what I can tell you without any hesitation.  WHOEVER ADOPTS THESE TWO WON’T BE SORRY.  Truly is currently the sweetest available kitty in the cathouse.  She is, in every way, a PERFECT little cat.  She is SO sweet that it is impossible to impart.  She loves EVERY human, and EVERY cat.  She loves attention; she loves to play.  She loves to be petted; she loves a lap.  And she loves her brother Shiloh.  Shiloh is also a sweet-natured cat, but he is SHY.  This one will require an adjustment period in a new home, but I feel confident that he will come around nicely - especially if he gets to go with his sister.


I would say that having these two “picked” during this Valentine’s Week would be the greatest news ever.  (Or imagine having these two chosen along with family member Autumn.  That would be the sweetest thing.   I have had three adopted into the same home - more than once!)



Of course - ANY adoption would be wonderful, right?  Even a “trial adoption” would be great because that would mean somebody is getting a chance, right?  Tune in tomorrow.

(Got this Valentine from a friend.  Ha. Ha. Perfect.)

Welcome Glimmer - you are in good hands...ummm paws. BTW - looks like she may have a crush on you....hahaha

Oh my gosh! Glimmer does look a lot like Glitter! Thank goodness Glitter was fixed before she got into the same fix Glimmer is in. And thank goodness Glimmer won't be in this fix again because I'm sure she'll be fixed before it can happen again! Goodness, I hope this doesnt mean an early kitten season for lots more kitties! Even though we love kittens! It's just better all around if stray's don't have them.

Anyway! Look at Truly and Shiloh!!! What a sweet pair for a sweet Valentines day! (Does anyone else think the upward arrow on Shiloh's forehead is adorable?!) Wouldn't you love to see them in YOUR home for Valentines day?? Someone you know's home?
Can't you help find their perfect home?

Please, do what you can to help these kitties get home! Share, tweet, spread the word! Donate to help all the cat house cats! But the book! Get your kitties a valentines day gift from the FUNdraiser! Just, please help!

Kitten season comes too soon. As usual Andrea has it just right. Glimmer is a ringer for Glitter. They are so pretty. Wonder what the kittens will look like but it is too bad she was a stray and is having a litter. We sure need homes for those little kits. Truly and Shiloe look so happy together. Please someone consider these two for your own home. Furry love is forever... Any of the kitties would make a great Valentines gift for your sweetie..or your self...Adopt - spay and neuter. Andrea has wonderful cat toys. Her Fun raiser is going one right now.. Please do what you can to help out... Ginny & The Fur Family
