There's an App for Cats? Who Knew??!!!

Barnum and Clifford Batsel are on the Hunt!

Well, we had some good leads that didn't quite pan out,  so our sweet boys, Clifford and Barnum Batsel, are still on the hunt for their forever home.  



These  two medium-haired tabbies are exceptional kittens.  Both are mellow and sweet,  so incredibly affectionate, and easy-going too.  They trust everyone they meet, and will fall asleep belly-side up in the arms of strangers.

They are little loves, and I guarantee  they'll bring a tremendous amount of joy to their adopters.

They've been neutered, micro-chipped and vaccinated and are officially ready to leave the nest.

Clifford and Barnum love being together so much, so I am trying hard to place them together.    If you need this precious pair in your life,  please send an email to kittywrangler(at)gmail(dot)com and tell me a little bit about yourself and the kind of home you could offer these two.



If you're not in the market, but you know someone in the Seattle/Tacoma are who are in search of a very fine pair of kittens, please send them our way!

Thanks for spreading the word!

Nearing the End of the Batsel Chapter

Well, friends.  We're nearing the end of the Batsel chapter.   This week, all the babes had their itty bitty bits removed.   Two of the Batsels have found their homes and we're getting close to finding a place for the others.   So soon, we'll be waving bye-bye to all the Batsels.  

I know it seems so soon but when they moved in, there wasn't too much growing left to do.      

It sure has been nice getting to know this floofy little bunch.  I'm grateful for every minute I've had with them.   I hope you feel the same.

Flirting with Disaster

The Unflappable Clifford Batsel

Saturday Night

The humans had cocktails and the kittens passed out.

Clifford Batsel on his Backside

One of the best things about these Batsels is that they love spending time on their backsides.  Clifford, in particular, is fond of this activity.

He just loves being all roly-poly and belly-up with arms all flailing about.

Be careful. If you get too close, he'll even try to boop your nose.

The Batsel Children

Now that all the Batsel Children have been assigned their names, let's take a good look at them side-by-side.


From left to right:
Claudius Felix, Clifford, Barnum Bailey and Priscilla Batsel.

Such a beautiful little family.  They're super sweet, floppy and affectionate too!  

Now that we've have the fundraiser behind us, I look forward to spending a little bit more time with them and getting to know them a little bit better.   Just a few days to go before we spring them from quarantine, too!   Bean's going to love them - floofy tabbies have always been her favorite flavor!

Little Visitors

We had a couple of little visitors this morning.  Opal and her little brother, Ellis, came over to see the kittens.  Opal also wanted to bring by her annual donation.



First, they met Geraldine and Phoebe who were bouncing around the living room.  Both girls have had experience with little ones, and did very well with Ellis and Opal.



Ellis was as entertained by the kitten toys as he was by the kittens.

Next, we went into the guest room to meet the Batsels.  Everyone came out to say hello, but Clifford was the  most comfortable.   Opal claimed "MOM, he wants to come home with me".    I have to admit, he was quite happy in her arms.





We had a nice visit, and before Opal left, she gave the kittens her donation.   She brought four quarters, four nickels, four dimes, and four pennies for the kitties.

That's from her very own piggy bank, too

.

Bless your generous little soul, Opal.

Another Name!

Well, this handsome little boy has a name.   It's Clifford Batsel.




Autumn was the high-bidder in this little fellow's naming rights auction , and she and her husband, Darren, selected this perfect name.   Here's what she had to say...

We want to give the kitten the distinguished name of, Clifford, after my husband's grandfather, Papa, who is much loved and missed.

Even though he wasn't much for cats digging around in his prized garden, we're sure he'd like this adorable little guy!

I agree, it is a very distinguished name.   It suits this little gentleman so well.

Thanks so much for your generous bid,  Autumn!

If you would like to bid on the opportunity to name a kitty, we've got a little over an hour to go in his brother's naming rights auction.    Later this morning, his other brother's auction will go live.   Stay tuned for that!

Also, don't forget we've got until noon today to meet Cynthia's big $2000 matching donation challenge!!!!   Jump in that one, please! We're getting SO close now!  Only $615 to go until we meet the match, then I'll be putting her $2 squillion into the kitty, and then we pass our $50 squillion goal!!     YIPPEEE!!!!

Charlene is already preparing a speech for the occasion.    

It's going to be an very exciting day!!!
