Day 73/5 Goodbye Suzi, Sylvester, Stewie, Stella and Sasha

Suzi and Sylvester have been adopted! A family came to visit a couple of weeks ago as they were interested in adopting Suzi. Because Suzi needs a buddy and they didn't have another cat in the home they were looking to adopt 2 kittens. The family has 3 children and everyone had a different kitten that they liked. Mom says she bets there was a lot of discussion in their house about which kittens they should adopt! They came back on Friday and picked up Suzi and Sylvester...although there was still lots of discussion and a few tears over who they should adopt. Mom got an update and Suzi and Sylvester are settling in very well and everyone loves the choice that was made. They can't even imagine have any other two. Yay!!

Stewie moved to another foster home that had two kittens but one was adopted. The remaining kitten, Cassie, was very lonely so Stewie went to keep her company. Cassie is so cute Mom can't believe she hasn't been adopted yet! Mom got an update from the new foster home and it seems that Stewie's new buddy is the big dog that lives in the house. Stewie loves everyone!

Stella and Sasha moved to my friend Bella's house on Friday to stay with Bella (and her Mom and Dad). They are the family that fostered Beaker and Honeydew and they became quite attached to them. It took some time for them to be ready to take some new fosters but they're ready to foster again. It's good timing because AARCS has been getting so many calls about cats in need and they're always looking for foster homes.

Mom seems to have lost the current pictures of the kittens :( Hopefully they're still on a memory card somewhere. She does have some pictures of the new fosters that arrived on Tuesday though! We'd like to welcome Katie and Lizzie...

Katie and Lizzie are bengal kittens who are approximately 5 months old.












They are very, very fearful of people. They came from a breeder who didn't want them and called AARCS to come take them off his hands. Mom has a strong opinion about this breeder but since I don't like the bad words she used I've asked her not to type them.

Katie is a black or melanistic bengal. Black bengal's are uncommon and, of course, breeders try to breed this color out but she is beautiful. Her coat is so shiny and she has the most amazing colored eyes.

Lizzie has typical bengal coloring. Bengal cats are in pretty high demand and it's unlikely they'll ever be found in a rescue organization. AARCS has already received a large volume of emails inquiring about these cats. They won't go up for adoption until they're better socialized and not so fearful of people.







Stay tuned for Katie and Lizzie's progress. Mom is going to try very hard to do updates more frequently and document Katie and Lizzie's transformation from fearful cats into cats that understand that humans can be wonderful people who will show them love and affection.
