Oranges! Photos! Updates!
Greetings, Kitten Academicians!
We’ve got updated photos of the Oranges for you below, but first, some news:
Port is scheduled for her spay on the 1st and will be eligible to go home with an adopter about two weeks later. All of the boys are scheduled for their neuters on the 22nd and will be eligible to go home pretty much the next day!
Relatedly, applications for the Oranges are now open! You can apply by clicking the application link in our menu above. The Danbury Animal Welfare Society manages processing of the applications and selection of applicants. They have informed us that prior applicants who weren’t able to get kittens in previous classes have accounted for several of the Oranges already having adopters, but Port and some of the kittens (we don’t know which) are still available. As always our suggestion is to go ahead and apply! If you don’t get the kitten you were hoping for, you’ll at least be in a good position for when the next right kitten comes along!
The big news, of course, is that Loom, our newest momcat, gave birth to five beautiful kittens yesterday. We had suspected there was a sixth pending, but we’ve since changed our opinion - seems like 5 is it! The kittens all seem quite healthy and Loom seems quite healthy and happy and they are all making the right motions, so it’s a bit of a mystery so far why the kittens don’t seem to be getting much milk from Loom. Until we’re able to solve the mystery, we’ll be tube-feeding the kittens on a rigorous schedule and we’re communicating with Dr. Katz. We’ll be able to discuss this in more depth in an upcoming post with their newborn photos!
Finally, quick update on Millet, who is doing wonderfully! We don’t yet know how effective the treatment has been but we should get our first update on that after his next visit to Dr. Lansdowne at the Central Hospital for Veterinary Medicine in Guilford. That will be on Wednesday the 2nd.
Here’s individual photos of the oranges and then a bunch of everything all together!
