An Update on ALL Five Fellows!

DSC_4226

We sure loved watching our Fellows grow and blossom while they were in our care.  They all found wonderful homes and their parents generously supplied with updates on all of their babies for me to share with you today!

First up is Seymour Fellows. You may recall he was adopted by Victoria and Ian, who also adopted Agnes Pettibone and Myra/Myron Ulysses Clover (who now goes by Dixie).  Vic provided us with an update on the whole crew!

Agnes Pettibone - 9 years old. Our resident "Lady of the House". She is sweet and dorky and shares a special bond with her human, Ian. She can be very flirtatious, especially with the gentlemen that come to visit. She prefers to chew the stringed part of any wand/feather toy. At Christmas time, she is the naughty one who won't leave the presents alone.

I have so many updates from our adopters, some of the posts are spilling into this week!




Dixie Clover - 2 years old. Our resident "Tomboy in Fancy Dress". You can't help but notice Dixie's amazing smokey belly fur and floofy tail. We had no idea when we brought her home that she would literally blossom into the beautiful fluffy cat she's become. She's playful. Loves to be held and carried around and has frequent conversations in a quiet little meow.






Seymour Fellows - 4.5 months. Our resident "Little Meezer Man". It feels like this most recent addition to our family has always been with us. This little cat is a lover with a wild streak that is highly entertaining. He is a confident little dude (thanks, to Laurie's care) who has captured our hearts. Especially, Dixie's heart.







We added Seymour because Dixie is still young and has an energy level that Agnes isn't always interested in matching. We added the new kitten with the hope that he would be a good playmate for Miss D. and,in turn, maybe free up Agnes to enjoy more uninterrupted naps. It could not have gone better. Every time I turn around, Dixie and Seymour are embracing for a cuddle/grooming fest or "wrassling" each other. The chase scenes are hilarious because of the difference in their sizes but Seymour is growing fast and our vet says he's likely to be a big a boy.

We have been so fortunate to have found our loves, these cats, (including Henry Pettibone) through The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. Laurie is dear to us and we can't thank her enough. We're proud to be IBKC Alumns and love this community that cares for these and all cats.


 And up next, we've got Oakley and Robin from their mama, Andrea.


Here are a few brotherly love pictures. I only have cute sleeping photos because otherwise, they're in constant motion.

When their tummies are full in the morning they've both been climbing into my lap to help me watch the news and drink my coffee while they take the first nap of the day. Makes getting to work on time a tad bit challenging!

I'm now calling Oakley, Saul, and Robin, Louie, but you're welcome to use whichever names you like. :)

They are both doing great. The house is a veritable kitty play land, they checked out perfectly at the vet, and are both just love bugs when they aren't charging like the wind around the house.






And last but not least, we have an update on Maurice and Emmet!


Hi Laurie, Here's the latest on my two Fellows!

The boys just had their first road trip over the weekend. We went to Portland for a family get together. They mostly slept in the car - I only had to pull off the highway once to retrieve Emmet as he tested the limits of their car seat tether!

They visited a friend at her house, saw her cat Singer, and got loves from the humans. They stayed in their first hotel room and had so much fun exploring and playing that they were better behaved than I could have hoped. They spent their first night at my parents' house and met the fam. The last picture is the boys in the guest room, lounging.

Emmet and Maurice are growing like weeds! They are absolutely charming. Emmet is outgoing and fearless. He has figured out how to climb the kitchen cabinets using the drawer handles! Maurice was the first one to figure out the puzzle feeder. He can still be a bit shy, but he overcomes it more quickly with each new experience. He likes to sleep up high atop the cat tree. As Maurice's points have darkened, the stripes on his legs and some marking on his back have gotten more defined.

Both boys come when I call them (mostly). They are affectionate and playful, and so full of energy! We are now working on learning to walk on leashes.

I love them both so very much! Thought you might like to read about their progress and know they are thriving.

Debbie





Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful updates, Vic, Andrea, and Debbie!  It's so great to know the whole batch is doing so well (and Agnes and Dixie, too).  We're so glad they're in you loving homes and thriving!   Smooches to all!  xoxo!

A Bowl Full of Crazy

DSC_7384

Seymour, Oakley, and Robin went in to get snipped yesterday and returned wide-awake and full of crazy around 5:00 PM.

I put the kitten-filled carrier on the living room floor near Charlene and Wylla, who were trying their best to cool their bellies on this hot afternoon.

I opened the door, the boys gave the girls a quick hello sniff, then ran full-speed to their room and started wrestling.  Even though the afternoon sun made this room ten degrees hotter than the rest of the house, they didn't seem to mind -- I think they were just really happy to be in their familiar space after a day spent at the shelter.

They paused the game for a snack, I pulled down the shade, then closed the door hoping they would settle down now that their bellies were full.  For a few minutes I heard the rustling of mylar balls and scuffling kittens, then a long silence followed by a loud crash.

I went to investigate and discovered that someone, I'm guessing Seymour because he was the rowdiest yesterday, had climbed up on the table and knocked the stainless steel bowl off of the kitten scale.

The bowl was the perfect size to contain two kittens, and Seymour and Robin were enjoying a tussle inside. The slippery surface made it extra fun.  Seymour won the match, and Robin hopped out and joined Oakley, who was half asleep on the bed.

Seymour spent the next few minutes flopping around inside the bowl on his own and chasing his tail until grew tired, then climbed out and joined his brothers.

It was entertaining to watch, but I was grateful that everyone settled down -- it was a hard day for our little guys. They needed to take it easy.

Five Fellows in the Window

DSC_6948

I know so many of us will be off having fun and celebrating the 4th of July, so I decided I would probably be wasting my time trying to wrangle donations all day, SO, I'll ask once today, then leave you all be!  

We had a good run yesterday, and we're getting REALLY close to the half-way point.  I can't wait until we cross that mark -- it always feels so good to be on the other side of it.  Thank you so much to everyone who's played a part in getting us that far. I appreciate you all so much!

If you want to toss a little in the kitty today,  please visit our FUNdraising page to make a tax-deductible donation. Or if you want to learn a little more about what we're raising money for and how our donations will be used, you'll find lots of information there.

I've got a big batch of photos of our Five Fellows to share today. They were being even more adorable than they usually are (can you believe that?) and put on a show in our window.

We'll be wrapping up their chapter soon, so I'll be savoring the moments like this.

Please be safe, everyone. Get your critters inside and keep them there all day and night -- it's not a fun holiday for our four-legged friends.

I'll post some more on Instagram today, but just once here on the blog.  
See you here tomorrow!

Happy Fourth!

We Seem to Be Stuck!

We had a nice run, then all of a sudden everything went quiet and we've been stuck at $29,570 for quite some time. Now, $29,570 is a fine number, but to complete our $5000 match, we need hit $32,055.

SO, do we have it in us? Can we push, push, push it for a bit? Can we bring in the $2,485 we need to max out the match? We've got until 7:00 PM to do it (that's only 2.5 hours)!!!

Seymour, would you care to help encourage these fine folks to make a contribution to our Foster Program?

Well, what to you have to say, Seymour?

KITTIES NEED THE MONIES!

DSC_5658

Well, yes, they do. But, where are your manners, Mister.

KITTIES NEED THE MONIES, PLEASE!

DSC_5658

Well, that's a tad better, but I think you need to review the training handbook before we put you back on the phones.

It is true. Kitties do need the monies, so if you're in the position to give, please make a donation to our Foster Program this afternoon and help give a whole lot of little ones a great start in life.

To make your tax-deductible donation, please visit our fundraising page. Thank you so much!

A Quick Afternoon Match

DSC_5667

An anonymous donor just offered up a quick afternoon match!  For every dollar we donate, she'll do the same until we reach the $1000 cap! It goes until 4:00 PM today, which gives three hours to get there.

If we can do $1500 in 15 minutes like last night, tackling $1000 in three hours shouldn't be a problem, right?  Let's hope not!


 OK, Seymour. Settle into your station and get ready.  You're about to get busy.


"I'm as ready as I'm ever gonna be."
