Update: June 17

My garage is slowly emptying out. 7 kittens have gone to their new homes, and at least 3 more will be leaving on Saturday. The adopting families are sending me glowing reports of how well their kittens are doing and how friendly they are. Several of the kittens went to homes with dogs, other cats, a rat, and a two year old boy (probably the most frightening initially!), and all are getting along well with their new buddies.

Names that I know of: Biscuit (orange tabby boy) & Muffin (torby girl), Lola (orange tabby girl) & Snickers (torby girl), Betty (torby girl), and Nova (aka Magellan, head of the Gellies, gray tabby boy). The other orange tabby girl is waiting for a family member to come home from camp, but she is in her new home.

The girls were spayed on the 13th; they were almost as wild as the boys were when they came home. They all recovered well.

Only one kitten had any noticeable reaction to their vaccinations on the 9th; the boy I call "Silver Boy" (more light gray than the others) developed a limp and chills on Friday 13th; he had a low grade fever Saturday morning; and by Sunday he had fully recovered. He ate, drank, and played through it all, with long naps in between, and he did not require any other attention. In fact, I think he gained half a pound through it all!

We will probably have 3 girls left and possibly one boy.
