So Long to the Last Suprenant Sister

Ve Ching was not short on suitors, but for one reason or another, things were just not panning out. There were appointment cancelations, cold feet, and no-shows for meet and greets. FINALLY I got a very promising email from a gal named Megan, who had fallen in love with Ve Ching, and thought she might be a good fit for her family.

Megan came over for a visit yesterday with her children and sister too, and yep, perfect fit. Miss V was very curious about the kids, and enjoyed playing with them. Elliot, Megan's five year old son was sweet and gentle with V. You could tell he and his mother had at least a few conversations about how to handle and play a little kitten. He was so good with her.

Oh, and when Charlene entered the room he said "That's a whole lot of cat". No argument there.

Megan is a stay at home mom, so Miss Ve will have constant companionship. She'll also have the kids to keep her entertained.

So it took awhile for V's family to find their way to us, but I think it was worth the wait, and there was a reason why all those other folks weren't working out.

I got an email yesterday afternoon from Megan, and she said Miss V was doing great. She had exhausted herself exploring and playing. You'll be happy to know, Megan promises to send pictures.

We certainly enjoyed our time with Miss V, but so happy she found her perfect family.

Charlene enjoyed her too, but all that babysitting wore Miss Bean out, and I think she's ready to catch up on some napping.

Here are a few pictures, and a video too, of Miss B's last day with Miss V.

Yep.

Full adoption story tomorrow.....

The Perfect Tabby Trio

I've got so many pictures of the gorgeous Suprenant sisters left to share with you. So while we wait for Miss V's family to find their way to us, I'll continue to post some pics of the whole family. And, of course, more pics of Ve and Bean too.

Here we have beautiful Biscuit, Betty and Ve Ching. Pure tabby perfection.

For the Record...

This seems to be a popular topic in the comment section, so I thought I would address the subject here...

Many have suggested that Ve Ching should become a permanent part of our family. I just wanted to say for the record, that we're not looking to add any permanent residents (kittens or cats) to our household any time soon. We're not ready. When we are, I'm sure in some organic way, another feline will find it's way to us.

Yes, Charlene is enjoying spending time with Ve Ching. I don't think she's meant to stay with us, though. Charlene is just showing her how to play with big kitties, and teaching her about boundaries in preparation for her forever home, which she be may sharing with a cat older than she.

Thanks for loving her, and wanting her to stay with us. It would be great to adopt Ve Ching. She's a very sweet girl, and we do love her too. I just don't feel that's her destiny.

Fun with Ve and Bean

Ve Ching is really doing great and doesn't seem to be missing her siblings at all. She and Charlene are having a grand old time. They chase each other all over the place, and wrestle and romp together. Ve Ching has full run of the house, and has discovered the excellent views from the windows upstairs.



Although Miss V is old enough now to keep her coat clean, Charlene likes to find the spots she missed.

Lovely and Amazing

Well, I thought I had homes for all the girls, but things fell through for Ve Ching and now she's back on the market.





Miss V is a warm and affectionate girl. She's very talkative, and very good at communicating her needs. She's playful and fun, and because she's not leaving with one of her siblings, we're hoping to place her in a home with a kitten or active adult cat. Kittens need company!

If this little girl might be a good fit for your home, please send an email to kittywrangler@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself. Feel free to spread the word too!

She's so lovely and amazing. I'm sure her perfect family will come along soon enough.

Sweet, Soft, Suprenant Sisters

Focus Girls, Focus

Getting them to sit still is one thing,,,, getting them to focus is another...

And while I have YOUR attention,  I would like to announce ANOTHER matching donation challenge from our dear friend, Cynthia!  

She will be matching all of our donations, until they reach $1000. So for every dollar we donate, she'll be donating a dollar too!!

Here's a chance to double your dollars and help turn ONE squillion into TWO squillion!!  And once we do that, we'll be pretty dang close to $35 squillion!

Thank you , Cynthia!!   Thank you,  EVERYONE!  

Suprenants Settling In

A little squabbling, scrapping, then napping...   I love watching the kittens wind down.  

Warning Signal

I know it's tempting, but ladies, please, don't mess with Butterbean's tail.  Many have tried, and all have regretted it.   I know she's just taunting you by flicking it about.   Don't be mislead.   She's not trying to entice you, this is a warning signal.     Move it along, girls.  

Oh No You Didn't.

Seeing the Light

The girls caught the very last sunbeam coming in the kitchen.    I love Ve Ching's sweet, gentle, illuminated face.

Nice to Meet You, Friend.

Now Everyone has a Name!

Christina, who follows the IBKC all the way from Singapore, was the lucky winning bidder for both of our lovely floofy tabby girls.

She's a huge lover of cats, and over the years has been heavily involved with the Cat Welfare Society in Singapore.  

Christina wanted to honor two very special cats from her life who have passed on, by naming the floofy tabbies after them.    Here's a little bit from Christina's email explaining who these kitties were, and what they meant to her.

My love affair with cats started in 2000 with 2 kitties  which I named Tigger and Biscuit. They had been found at a construction site and were flea ridden, with ears chock full of mites and suffering from anemia and diarrhea when I got them. The vet said that they would probably not survive, but my husband and I thought we would give it a go nonetheless. Despite 24-hour care, Biscuit died 10 days later and it broke my heart.  The good news is that Tigger survived his rough start and is still with me. He's now a big floofy cat 

Here's are tiny Tigger (left) and Biscuit (right).  

And a grown up Tigger today.

In honor of Biscuit, our floofly little tabby with the bright white eye liner and gloves, will be named Biscuit (you can call her "Bikky" too).      She likes to lay on her back and make "air biscuits" when you rub her tummy, so it suits her perfectly!





Christina continues to write....

My 3rd kittie, Ve Ching, has also passed on.  He was found at a playground and given to me at around 6 weeks. At 7 years old, he died from pancreatitis. He was the most loving and playful cat and is greatly missed. As such, I would like to name the other kitten Ve Ching. 

Here's beautiful Ve Ching....



And here's our beautiful Tabby, who is now officially named Ve Ching.



Thanks, Christina, for caring so much for kitties, and giving so much to an organization so far from home (but still close to your heart).      Christina's touching story of saving, loving, and losing, is something that many of us have experienced.      

Sometimes lives that are briefest, touch us deepest.  I love that the spirit of Biscuit and Ve Ching will live on in our floofy tabby girls.  And I love that their names will always remind me of how large and loving this community is.    

Thank you again, Christina.
