Meet Bubbles

So there is a story behind these little ones.  Bear with me here.

These little ones and their mama came to she shelter weeks ago.  The were sent out to another loving foster home.  Unfortunately, the foster family who had them is moving to California shortly (though I have NO idea why they would want to leave this glorious rain for all that sun they have down there...hmmm, maybe I'm a little jealous?). So when I got the call asking if I could take them on, it was an easy decision.  Ok, at this point I'm going through kitty withdraw enough I would have said yes to just about anything.  But knowing their foster mom personally, I knew this would be easy.  They are already wonderfully socialized, so all they really need is time to grow and some meds...they're a sniffley little bunch of putty tats.

They came with names...I just gotta learn which is which!

So here is Bubbles.  As you will see, she is VERY uncomfortable in her new home and having a TERRIBLE time settling in...

Definitely not comfortable in my house... ;)

You are getting veeeery sleeeeeeepy....

So I leave you with this...one photo.  And a promise of much more to come!!!

Sneak peak, more to come!

THE DRY SPELL IS OVER!!

THREE FLUFFY BLACK BALLS OF FUR AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL MOM ARE NOW IN RESIDENCE!

 

THESE LITTLE ONES WON'T BE AROUND FOR LONG 

Enjoy!

2011: A year in review

Well, we've been kittenless for almost a month now.  While the house is lonely without little ones under foot, it  is also nice to have a bit of a break, some r&r, and a good carpet scrub.  So, since we have no new cuties to show off, we thought we'd take a look back at the 28 (was it really only that few?) felines that passed through I doors last year.

We started 2011 with the three stooges.  They were only with us a week, but they certainly lived up to their names!

Next, Cashmere and Angora graced our walls with all their fabulous fur!

After a short break (less than a week!)  We brought home the cutest trio of tabbies.  Merceedes, Porche and Bentley wasted no time driving themselves into our hearts!

A quick little interlude with singleton Gizmo.  She hissed her way into our arms. 

 This photo was provided by her new family.  Look how big she has gotten!

The magic was just beginning when we brought home Sweet Alice and her little tweedles.

Mama Aretha and her melodious babies made themselves right at home.

The Gods must have spoken, because next we were blessed with Athena, Zeus and Aphrodite.

That was supposed to be the end for the year, but when we received an emergency call about a mom with six kittens cowering under a bush, we jumped into action.  

We feel so privileged to have been a part of each and every one of these lives, and we will keep their memories in our hearts forever.  We are looking forward to lots of fur babies in 2012, but first we are taking some time off to recharge and prepare ourselves.

Happy New Year to you and your, regardless how many legs they have!

Mighty, mighty

Aphrodite!!

She's lean, she's not mean, she's just so darn cute!

 But don't let her sweet demeanor fool ya.  She'll rob you blind when you're not looking:

 Then play all cutsie to get out of trouble:

She'll batt those big, blue cross-eyes at ya:

And snuggle up close for loves:

She may look all sweet and innocent:

But turn your back on Mighty, Mighty Aphrodite, and she'll pounce!

What?  Who, little ole me??

Yes, you, you cute little stinker!

Is that thunder I hear?

Why yes! Quite a storm is brewing. But that's because ZEUS, the god of thunder, is in the house!!

So, that begs a question...how do you photograph thunder?

Well, it takes lots of patience....

Lots of trial.....



Lots more error...

But eveutually....

You just might get lucky enough to catch him!

Ah hah!  Busted!!

Ok, so when he's still, he's not all that scary. 

He's just a cute, happy-go-lucky kind of guy :)

Thanks for pausing for me, Zeus!

I've been remiss

...In my duties as foster parent.  It's been such a busy week, and I haven't been posting the photos you all deserve to see!

Well, I won't make you wait.  After all, these cutie pies won't be around for very long.  They've already hit the two pound mark, so it will be time to get them snipped and help them find their new, forever homes  quickly!

So, without further delay, I give you the first of the "Holy Trinity"!

The Goddess ATHENA!!!

 Named after the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, Skill and War.

 That's right, I said wisdom and war.

Yeah, baby!
