Solemates Graduation!

April 22, 2019 by Mr. Academy in Graduation

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

The Solemates are all getting near to graduation! Hushpuppy had his graduation ceremony at the vet on Friday the 19th and the rest of the kids will have theirs on the 3rd. Lace is a special case - we’re waiting on some further tests to make sure she’s super healthy before we (re)schedule hers.

Although we haven’t yet scheduled pick-up dates with any of the adopters, all the Solemates — including Lace — now have confirmed adopters! Also, Hubbub and Rumpus of the Tantrums also have confirmed adopters! We’re kind of hoping someone adopts three generations of girls, Teacup, Tempest, and Kerfuffle, all together - but more on that later!

And here’s all the photos from the photoshoot! Apologies that we messed up the focus/aperture on the group photos.

Updates on the Solemates and TnT!

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Only a little news this time out - this post is mostly here just to share the latest photos.

Tempest’s kittens are visible on X-ray which means she has less than three weeks left before delivery. The vet was able to see three kiittens! Teacup is not pregnant - we checked three times! Teacup will be spayed and have her dental work done next Tuesday, the 12th.

Lace and her kittens are doing wonderfully! The kittens are gaining weight at an astounding rate and Lace is handling all their needs now. She’s feeling much better and has become a super-mom!

Finally, Match Day is Friday the 15th - that’s when DJ will find out where she’s been accepted for her residency and we’ll learn where we’re going to be living. We’ll be sure to let you know!

Welcome to TnT and The Solemates!

February 19, 2019 by Mr. Academy in Introduction

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

We’ve got a ton of news to cover, so we’ll try to go quickly!

Firstly, we brought in two cats from central Illinois. They were living together before they came to Kitten Academy and it shows - we’ve never seen two adult cats who are so friendly with each other! One is a torbie named Tempest, who is confirmed pregnant by Dr. Quinn at Cary Grove Animal Hospital. Dr. Quinn guesses that she’s about 30 days along - so we’ve got another month to go before delivery. The other is a calico named Teacup. Dr. Quinn doesn’t think Teacup is pregnant. Teacup also needs some dental work, so we’re bringing her in on Tuesday the 26th (it was rescheduled) to double-check whether she is pregnant, and if not, we’ll have her dental work done and also her spay. Our plan is to allow both of them to live together through the delivery of Tempest’s kittens - if they continue to get along so well.

Next important note - Cooper has an adopter! We haven’t scheduled an exact time, but we expect him to be picked up in early March.

There’s some absolutely fantastic new designs on our Teespring store - check them out!

Finally, today we brought in another momcat and her week-old kittens. They were rescued by McHenry County Animal Control and On Angels’ Wings brought them to us so that we’d have some actual kittens at this Academy while we wait on Tempest’s litter. Here’s their photos and names:

And finally, here’s the rest of the photos from recent photoshoots!
