Roux's Choux Graduation!

September 01, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Hello, Kitten fanatics!

Tomorrow, Saturday the 2nd, Roux, Cro, and Claire all will be leaving the Academy for a much brighter future! Cro and Claire are going to live together! Both of the adopters will be arriving around 14:00 KATZ.

There's little question that Roux is the most people-loving and playful momcat we've had in a long time... possibly ever! Delivering her kittens on DJ's lap was a first for all of us! We're going to miss all three of them terribly, but their adopters are already present on the Discord chat for Kitten Academy Patreons, and we expect them to keep us all up to date with photos and more. Perhaps Twitter feeds?

Just a couple quick reminders:

Garbanzo's mystery adopter will be arriving Sunday the 3rd, around 21:00 KATZ. And they'll be bringing a special surprise, too!
On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL still needs applicants for the Purrsians!

As always, here's the rest of the photos from the graduation photoshoot!

Adoption Schedule and Choux Photos!

July 20, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

Here's our current plan for adoptions:

Kazoo is already practicing his Boston accent.

* Saturday the 22nd: Sometime in the early afternoon, Kazoo will be picked up by his adopters and taken home to Massachusetts! Around the same time, we expect Cha-Cha's adopter to come pick her up, too, for a road trip to her new home in Wisconsin!

* Sunday the 23rd: Also in the early afternoon, we expect Lute and Foxtrot's adopter to pick them up (they are being adopted together) and bring them to their new home in Texas!

* August 1st (or 2nd): Waltz's adopter will be arriving to pick him up and bring him home to New York!

All of the adopters of this group are participants on our Discord chat for Patreon supporters, so we're well assured that there will be plentiful updates on them as they continue on with their post-graduate work. When Twitter feeds and YouTube channels are announced, we'll be sure to pass along the links in our new Alumni section in the menu above!

The wonderful people at On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL are soon going to begin reviewing applications for Roux and her kittens, so if you are interested in adopting one of them, now is a great time to get your application in!

As you may know, the Kitten Academy main room will be closed beginning on the 24th, when contractors will be arriving to repair water damage and also replace the floor, wall, and ceiling. This project will take roughly two weeks. During that time, we'll focus on Roux and her kittens in the Annex.

Since Waltz will not be picked up until later, and won't be able to stay in the main room, we'll be allowing him to run around the house with the faculty until his adopter arrives. Watch for him on the nightly close-up streams!

Here's a GIANT PILE of photos taken over the last several days! Some of these have been previously published on our Facebook page, or our Twitter feed -- and almost all of them are posted first, as they are edited, on our Discord chat for Patreon supporters.

Introducing Roux's Pâte à Choux

July 03, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Last night around 21:00 KATZ, Roux delivered her three healthy kittens! It was a long delivery, and the archived video is almost five hours long! You can find that here (as of this writing, it's still uploading and processing - it may take a few hours before it's available.)

Roux is so very comfortable with her human friends that she actually delivered her kittens on the beanbag chair - in DJ's lap! Certainly a first for Kitten Academy! Though the kittens came out backwards and every which-way, in the end, everyone was fine!

Here's the new kids, in order of birth, with their names!

We'll work on getting more photos later, when the kittens are ready to spend a little more time away from Roux. At a glance, it may seem difficult to tell Cro from Ben, but Cro has thin, light stripes, while Ben has bold, dark swirls.

If you feel like you need a pronunciation guide for these kittens, you're not alone! Here is some help:

Welcome New Momcat, Roux!

June 30, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

As you doubtless know, today we welcomed a new pregnant momcat to the Academy. Her name is "Roux" and she will be staying in the Annex until after all the Song and Dance kittens have graduated. She came to us all the way from Ohio! She is super, super friendly and has surely set a record for fastest-to-lap-time.

Some of you might have been expecting a Calico cat that was also coming from Ohio. However, when they both arrived at On Angels' Wings, they found out the calico wasn't pregnant! So it's fortunate Roux had come along as well! The calico, named "Pumpkin" because of her stunning orange eyes, will be available for adoption at OAW after her spay.

Before we get to all the photos, some news on other topics:

* Arial and Eva have finally been adopted, together! They will be going to their new home tomorrow, Saturday, July 1st!

* Banjo is being picked up from the Academy by his adopter on Sunday, July 2nd! His new family includes other black cats for him to play with!

* Cello and Mandolin are also being picked up by their adopter on Sunday, July 2nd, at the Academy! They will be living together!

Here's our photos of new momcat, Roux:
