Kitten Update with Photos

[joeybee12]

They went to the vet’s on Tuesday…all have gained almost a pound and a half. The little black male’s eye is much better…still treating it, but he’ll keep it, which is good. They’re outgrowing the bathroom and will get introduced to my other cats after this weekend if I still have them. They have sort of already been introduced as I’ve taken a few (one at a time) to sniff each other out. The Siamese (he’s a lynx point Siamese and the colors don’t do him justice here) really wants to get out, and he’s also too curious when I use the toilet…I have to hold him while I do so he doesn’t jump in…he has tried already. This photo is blurry but you can see his nice blue eyes. They all play together and really love cuddling…easiest group to socialize that I ever had. The two males think the slightly older female is Mom and she does care for them like she is.


Here’s the female in a glamour pose, even if it is my bathroom.



Had another rescue group interested in taking them into their program, but the woman would not call me back but only text me. I told my vet Tuesday and he asked who is was, I gave him the name, and he said something to the effect of, “Do not let them take the cats. They’re horrible.” Then he proceeded to tell me stories of mistreatment…I trust him, so they’re not going there. Hell, today’s my birthday so maybe I’ll just be really stupid and give myself three more kittens as a present!

All 3 are very affectionate...easiest group so far to socialize.

3. Happy Birthday!

I am so glad those kitties are doing so well. It's nice to win one once in a while.

[joeybee12]

6. Thanks!

I am so relieved I did not take that first woman's advice about having them put down...yeesh! Now, whatever happens, they'll have a good life.

7. Happy

Happy birthday and may you celebrate it with many well deserved head bonks.

I am glad to see the kittens thriving, they are at the cuteness overload stage.

[joeybee12]

8. Thanks!

They've really outgrown the bathroom so I need to figure the best way to introduce them to the others this weekend...the other cats know they're there, because these play that game where they stick paws underneath the door and the other side tries to grab them.

[ryan_cats]

9. For

For me, that is always the first step. Then I usually let in the alpha to smell the newcomers. Then other cats and then let the kittens run around outside supervised. I am always amazed at how they eventually get along, or at least tolerate each other.

[joeybee12]

10. Ashley is my alpha...a big gray Maine tom...

Very sweet and always loves kittens, so I've let him in from time to time...some of the older females never end up liking the new ones, but they will tolerate them after Ashley accepts them.

37. Maine

Maine Coons are so beautiful, I love their enormous lion paws and every one I've owned or encountered are the sweetest cats around.

[joeybee12]

41. He has the greatest personality...

Everyone who sees him thinks he's beautiful...and he is.

[restorefreedom]

11. squeeeee!

they are beautiful! happy birthday and enjoy your possible present!

[joeybee12]

13. Thanks!

They are super sweet, too...the Siamese is a trouble maker but such a cuddler you forgive him!

[restorefreedom]

17. yes one bat of the eyes and paw and all is forgiven :) nt

[joeybee12]

22. Yup...and they probably know it, too!

[restorefreedom]

23. i bet they do :) nt

12. Beautiful Kitties! A very good plan to have a bathroom for their "starter home"

Are they old enough to spay and neuter now? It would be easier to find them the best homes once they are finished with yearly vaccines and 'fixed'

[joeybee12]

14. Thanks...

I started them on their shots yesterday...odds are I will still have them when they're ready to be fixed, late December, early January...

[Sunlei]

15. Lucky kitties, good they have their first vaccines, your Vet probably recomended a 2nd

series and their RV in 2 or 3 weeks? I know from experience it's very expensive to rescue cats and dogs, especially when they are sick.

You're a Hero to take in, care for and Love- 3 at once!

[joeybee12]

16. Three weeks for the second, then the final in about 6 weeks...nt

[Arugula Latte]

18. Great news about the eye and them being healthy and easy to socialize!

[joeybee12]

21. Thanks!

They're all abunch of cuddlers!

[Fla Dem]

19. Happy Birthday and thanks for being so loving and kind to your fur babies. How many do you

have in total; permanent and foster?

[joeybee12]

20. I have too many!

With these 3 it's 16...which is nuts!

[Fla Dem]

52. OMG! That is a lot! Good luck to you. nt

[joeybee12]

53. Thanks

I tell people the number of cats matches my age.

[IcyPeas]

As well as they might be a great birthday present for you I would think they would be even more lucky.

You have done a great job. They are so precious.

39. Happy Birthday! Hey . . . what's three more? LOL.

They are sooooooooo cute. I notice you have a Patriots logo on your post. If you're anywhere near New Hampshire, there's a cat rescue group in Jaffrey, NH you might check out. I don't know if they take cats from out-of-state, but I've only heard good things about them.

[joeybee12]

43. I'm from connecticut,

but live in vegas!

[Vinca]

48. Oops - that would be quite a trek to Jaffrey.

You ought to keep them anyway.

[joeybee12]

49. we'll see how it goes

Too bad that they are so darn cute

[magical thyme]
