We got Alladin a bit over a week ago. He was supposed to be with us for seven days but he’s smart. He bit me and that means we’ve got to keep him for ten days to make sure I don’t have rabies (if he gets sick in ten days then I get lots of shots. Today is day nine and he’s fine.)
I’m going to be sorry to see him go. Alladin loves me more than food (literally.) Such a change from the kitten who bit me a week ago! Now that he’s socialized, he heads back to the pound (animal care and control) to wait in a cage for a family to adopt him tomorrow. I’m bummed about the cage part but he’s going to make someone very happy. He’s a lap kitten of the first order. Doesn’t play, doesn’t run, just sits and purrs.
Today the pound gave me two new kittens to socialize. One is a stunning grey tabby that the pound no longer has room for. She’s almost ready to be adopted but failed her behavioral test – she shakes in fear. We’ll get her purring and happy in no time at all.
In honor of some very nice finns I hosted, I decided to name our next kitten the Finnish word for kitten. I should have checked what it was first! Meet Kissanpentu!
The second kitten is a well adjusted little black kitten (the universe keeps giving the goth couple black kittens – I wonder why?) I don’t think he even needs to be fostered; I suspect he just got thrown in since they low on space. His intake paperwork shows he was dropped off on 9/17 at 4pm. I picked Kissanpentu up at 4:30pm. I think Oliver is just part of a bonus package. He’s a surrender, meaning someone gave him to the ACC. He’s well behaved, named, and already playing.
Kissanpentu is not yet so well adjusted. She’s spent her first hour here hiding behind Adam’s head. She really likes Adam. I’m pleased by this; Alladin loves me and isn’t so sure about Adam, so its nice to have the tables turned.
Yay, kittens! As always, if you fall in love with anyone pictured here, you can have them! Just contact me for their ACC number and the pound is happy to let you adopt them. I can already tell that this grey one – Kissanpentu – is going to steal hearts.
