Fiber Follies

This time I’m starting with my own fosters. I have three available. I can not continue to provide for these guys. Taking them to adoption events has been very difficult for me and hard on them. I bring them all back home with me afterward, too. Now I have to find another way. You’ve seen Bunj here before. The younger boys haven’t been properly blogged yet. Here’s my gang:

Firstly is my long-time foster, Bunjie. He’s a great little cat. Don’t let that elegant exterior fool you though, he’s a clown underneath the classy coat. Bunj loves to bound about from one end of the room to the other, punctuating his perambulations with wild leaps and effortless bouncing. He moves beautifully. He likes to noozle and purr but isn’t a sit-still sort of cat. He’ll check in for lovin’ then is off and running again. He is not a decorative cat-that is, he’s not one to sit tidy and look perfectly matched with the decor. He’s moving most of the time. He’s an entertaining chap.

He’s also dominant. I don’t recommend placing him with other cats. There will be no peace. He’s best as an only cat but not necessarily as an only pet. Bunjie is highly sociable and needs company. He’s been meeting an Airedale recently. Where the meetings haven’t been the ‘instant buds’ sort of interaction, he’s been surprisingly well-behaved. No injuries to the dog, who is keenly interested yet very polite. I am much relieved. The dog is an older fellow, actually quite polished and no apparent prey drive. It seems a good match but more meetings are needed before a determination will be made.

Bunjie is up-to-date on vaccinations and has been neutered. He’s six months age now, moving on to seven months. There is an adoption fee, this is set by Habitat for Cats who neutered him.

Next is Sterling. He’s a charming little blue boy. Nice blue tabby, very soft fur but I can’t decide if he’s going to be a shorthair or longhair like his mum, Westie. She’s just gorgeous-and he looks very much like her. He’s a friendly little fellow, curious, likes to check out anything going on anywhere around him. He romps and plays with anyone-his mum, his brother, a piece of rope, a flutter toy, people, bugs. They’re all good. He’s had his first vet check, has been wormed, and tested negative for FIV

Last is Sid. I named him Obsidian but Sid sounds better. He’s a happy guy but wary of strangers. Sid really hates adoption events! I can’t keep taking him just to get him all upset. I think he’ll turn out a quieter adult than will Sterling. Sid is a black tabby-you can just make out the markings in good light. He has a white patch on his chest. He’s hilariously cute and has a meow that makes you think he’s been abused and neglected. He certainly has NOT been abused nor neglected. He just decided to try it out and found that he received lots of sympathy and a little extra food when using the croaky mews. He’s wormed and tested negative for FIV.

Now for Lollypop Farm’s Cat of the Week.

SKINNY

#8073220

Skinny was in foster care for a while with medical problems, but he is healthy now and ready for a new home! His foster family had cats and large and small dogs and Skinny liked them all! He also gets along with children. Skinny is a calm, laid-back cat who loves people and will curl up on your lap. At some point before he came to Lollypop Farm, Skinny’s tail was broken. It healed fine and doesn’t bother him, but it’s still crooked. It just adds to his character!

Great news! Chaviva has been adopted!!!
