Our Fifteen Floofiest Foster Kittens

Judging by the reactions we get whenever we introduce a floofy foster kitten,  it's clear you're fans of the very hairy. I thought it might be fun to put together a list of our favorites,  so I spent some time digging through the archives and found our fifteen floofiest foster kittens!

Here they are in no particular order...

1. Rex Von Trout



2.  Orson Davenport



3. Aloysius Rosebud Petrie



4. Ambrose Anderson-Erickson



5. Eddie and Edna Lamm (they're equally floofy and I can no longer tell the pair apart, so they're both making the list)



6. Geraldine Dearborn



7. Kenneth Wiggins



8. Susanna Rose Wiggins



9. Linus Medley



10. Lucille Plunkett



11. Vancie Plunkett



12. Evelyn Hollis



13. Nigel Frost



14. Rutherford "Ruddy" Gibson



15. Wylla Stout, of course.



So, tell me. Who is your all-time favorite floofy kitten?

A Few Cats from Our Past

I just got a few pics from the parents of a couple of our IBKC alumni. First up, it's Orson Davenport. He's grown into a giant, bunny-soft lover boy. Here he is today...



And in case you've forgotten how adorable he was as a tiny tot... here he is, when he was ours...



And here we have a few stars from last year's fundraiser... Pip, Gaetano and Warren Fortunato.





and here they are working the phone banks last year...







Thanks to Kendra (Orson's mom) and Mindy (Pip, Gaetano, and Warren's mom) for the fabulous photos. They all look so happy and heathy, and it's so good to see them again! Thank you for sharing!!

Well, Well, Well,,, Who Do We Have Here??

It's Orson Davenport!!

Just this week I got a nice little update from Orson's mom. I know you all are always asking about him, so I thought you would be excited to hear a little bit about what the boy's up to. Here's what mama Kendra had to say:

As Orson is playing an endless game of fetch with me (yes - he literally is fetching his pipe cleaner toy and bringing it back to me) I thought you might like to hear from us again. Needless to say, Orson is doing great and he's just a perfect cat. He gets along so well with his cat brother "Mr. Bond" and his dog brother "Cooper." He knows his name, is quite social and comes to greet us every time we're gone and return home.

Thanks to Kendra for the update It's so good to see the boy again.

If you've all forgotten how adorable Orson was as a tiny tot... here's a little reminder.

Kitity Hiatus

For the first time, in a very long time, we're officially kitten-free. Orson, Inez and Edward all left for their new homes bright and early today.

As sad as it was to say goodbye to the last of the Davenports, I have to say, it's nice to have a little quiet around here. We've had a steady a stream of kittens through this house, and as much as I love it, I need to take a week (or two) off, to avoid burn out.

During my kitty hiatus, I'm going to take a break from the blog as well.


When I return, there will be the last of The Davenport's departure stories, a fresh batch of kittens, perhaps a new set of Pettibone cards and a couple of other surprises as well.

Stay tuned folks, have a great holiday weekend,, we'll see you soon.

A Good Day for Orson

Good news, folks! Orson has found a home! We did a little meet and greet and Orson won the hearts of a very lovely couple.

Hooray!

It's official, all the Davenports have a home!

That Attitude Will Get You Nowhere, Orson Angelo Davenport

Did he just flip me off? It could possibly explain why Orson Angelo is the LAST of the Davenport Family to be spoken for.

Seriously. No one has claimed him. Go figure. And truth be told, this boy has no attitude. It fact he's just a lovely little doughy ball of kitten sweetness. He's pure kitten gold.



I think his lower lip is quivering,, it's OK Orson,, your parents are out there somewhere. We're just waiting for them to come by our way.

If you do by chance know of any fabulous kitten loving folks living in our neighborhood (Seattle/Tacoma) please direct them to the blog.

The other four Davenport are going in two pairs. Any guesses on who's going with who??


One last thing,,,
to follow up on Sue's kitty pic on the soda bottle... here's the article in our local paper. Congrats again, Sue!

Belly Up !

In case you're wondering, yes, Orson's belly is even softer than it looks.

Fly Catching Tutorial

The kittens could use some help, Charlene. They are trying hard to catch that big fat fly trapped behind the shades. Maybe you could offer the Davenports a tip, or two.

Two Pounds of Fluff!

Thats right, fluffy little Orsen Angelo Davenport has hit the two pound mark.

This is Orson

Tubby, fluffy Orson Angelo Davenport!!
