Adoption Schedule and Choux Photos!

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!

Cha-Cha wants to help with the camera.

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.

 

 

Updates and Song's Quintet Photos!

Two Mewspaper posts in one day is unprecedented, but it's been a special day!

Latte is a very serious cat.

Yesterday, the adopter of Star and Mocha also adopted Latte, and when he was reintroduced to his mom and brother, they filmed it!  What a wonderful outcome after all the potential adoptions for Latte that fell through!  

We've brought this up on the stream a number of times, but it bears repeating - DJ's big exams for medical school are coming up fast now, with less than a month left to study.  She's therefore had understandably little time to help out with Kitten Academy duties the way she normally does.  In turn, Mr. A. has been struggling to keep up with the usual activity.  Naturally, we see to the kittens' needs first, so if something has to fall by the wayside, it's likely to be videos and communication on social media and the Discord chat.  

Eddie/Toonki enjoys a rest.

If you're one of our Patreon supporters, -- thank you! -- the month ends tonight, and we haven't had our monthly Patreon stream, for the first time since we started.  We'll also be sending out the paw print cards a little late -- not the first time that's happened.  

After the exams are completed, DJ and Mr. A. will be leaving for two weeks of vacation.  During that time, Kitten Academy will be managed by JimmyD and JenniD, whom you may remember as the adopters of Winnie and Gary of the Fonts.  The live stream will carry on as usual, under their care.  We're super excited to have "guest hosts" and we couldn't ask for better substitutes -- you may not want Mr. A. and DJ to return!  The plan is to help them have an easier time of it by only having Song and her kittens at that time - so our next momcat or kittens will not be arriving until after our return in mid-June.

After that, we hope things at the Academy will return to normal!  Thanks for bearing with us during this tumultuous time!  

Now on to the real point of this Mewspaper entry... photos!  

Introducing Song's Quintet!

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

Before we dive into the details of the newest Kitten Academy class, a few things we'd like to get out of the way:

  • As of right now, Latte and Arial are still looking for adopters!  Contact On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL to apply.  
  • The contest to help with suggestions for Sarah Donner's (PG-13 Link!) upcoming music video for Kitten Academy is closed now, but we expect it will take some time for us to parse through all the wonderful suggestions, and for Sarah to decide what she'd like to do!  
  • We're still getting some questions about Angel - we apologize for not properly explaining the situation.  We briefly addressed it in last night's close-up stream, just a few minutes in.  The short version is, she's gone home to be with her owner, and we think it's good!

So, as most of you doubtless know by now, on Tuesday the 25th, our latest Kitten Academy class arrived!  Song was picked up by the Logan County Animal Control about a week prior.  They send out notices to shelters all over Illinois, and once a week, transport animals that the shelters are willing to take.  Song was pregnant when Logan County Animal Control picked her up, but delivered her kittens on Tuesday the 18th, while she was still there.  

That's everything we know about her history!  

Here's your cheat-sheet:

Song

Cello (Female)

Mandolin (Female)

Banjo (Male)

Lute (Male)

Fiddle (Male)

As usual, here's the remainder of the photos from the shoot:
