Alpine Photoshoot, Myth and Rumor

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

We’re sure you’ve heard by now, the Fancy Feasters all have approved adopters and will be eligible to go home soon, but there’s a bit of a URI going around the Academy at the moment that is complicating the schedules. We currently have the boys set for their neuters with Dr. Katz on Wednesday, and if they are able to keep that appointment, then they will be ready to go home as soon as this weekend! Truffle and Saffron will have their sutures out on Friday and also be ready this weekend. We’re hoping the URI is well-resolved by then!

In other very important news, we have Myth and Rumor, the two non-momcats, staying with us until we’re able to get them spayed and adopted. We’ve had to bump their appointments to reschedule the Feaster boys, so we’re not yet sure when they will be ready to go home, but it’s likely to be in about a month.

Myth would rather stay home than visit the Alps.

Myth is an older dilute calico who startles easily, and would like to have her own private quiet place to spend most of her time, and also is crazy for snuggles and vigorous petting. She will purr and roll over for endless belly rubs; it’s not a trap! She can also be quite playful, usually in the quiet hours of the night. She can peacefully co-exist with other cats, but doesn’t want them too close. She doesn’t ask for a lot of attention, but she will reward a patient adopter — someone who can approach her quietly and deliberately — with a lot of love.

Rumor is a very young tabby — still practically a kitten herself. She enjoys chasing and wrestling with other cats, and is very respectful when they ask her to calm down or back off. She has a natural talent for getting along with other cats and kittens. She also loves her people and always wants to be close enough to know where they are and what they’re doing. It’s difficult to imagine an environment that Rumor wouldn’t thrive, though she does need a little extra care when making big changes and new introductions. She didn’t want to be left alone for a minute the first few days that she was here. After settling in she’s been a little more independent.

We’ll be getting more photos and talking about Myth and Rumor more in the near future - meanwhile, you can apply to adopt either of them!

Here’s the last photoshoot we did - just after Myth and Rumor arrived and just before the URI broke out. Rumor was so passive during the photoshoot that we couldn’t resist having her try on some hats! Myth wasn’t interested in visiting a new room with a bunch of strange stuff so she just got her photos in her own room - it was tricky getting her to pose instead of rolling over for more belly rubs!
