The mackerel high-energy kitten we called NAO (which stands for Not Another One!) Is in a new place this morning! He is surrounded by Christmas Trees, acres of long grassy meadows stocked full of mice, and love like he has never before experienced I am sure he will never want for anything again. The loving souls who now surround him, show nothing but love for all living things.

We instantly fell in love with this boy, he integrated quickly into our home and our hearts. He was a bit rambunctious with Molly, Pigeon and PITA and they would wrestle long into night. Or play Indy 500 down the stairs and up the hallway.  I suspect his long confinement in that car and whatever he experienced before arriving here had a say in his behavior. I know he was owned by someone, and I don’t pretend to understand what led to the decision to take those animals and leave them in that car. But it was not a safe move on any level..

All of that is behind him right now, because this morning, I know he woke up realizing he was in Paradise!

Our next option is to find a home for 11 year old Solo. Solo is very pet-aggressive and will be harder to place. That plus his age. In his favor is the fact that he is orange, and orange cats and kittens are all the rage. If I could transfer that video off my phone where he dances on his hind legs, I know that would be key in finding him a good place. One of my friends said yesterday, I should be on Instagram. Since I have no clue what that really is all about, I will check it out today.

She was incredulous that I didn’t know what it was about and asked me if I had been hiding under a rock? I laughed and told her, “No, not rocks just piles of kittens and litterpans! ”

Here is Solo decompressing from his previous life and also one blurry one of him doing his dance. He is the sweetest boy and we will do all we can to find him that good forever- home!

Mattie’s fate is waiting on spay day which has been bumped back to July 2. They will do bloodwork before the spay (she still isn’t eating much) Right now, she is in and out of heat still. By July 2, she should be clear and good to go unless her WBC has increased or stayed the same. She had so many drugs on board to help her with whatever infection she was fighting so I am praying for a good outcome for her. She would have to be an only kitty in the house and those homes aren’t easy to find. If she stays here, she will be a huge enclosure all by herself. I keep introducing gradually some of the other members of the clowder here, but she wants nothing to do with any of our sanctuary cats (so far). That may also change a few weeks after her spay. Time will tell. She also wants to kill the dog every time she sees him outside the wire. She is still attacking my ankles so I have to be careful around her- but I suspect that is from pain and not from anything else.
