Mewspaper — Kitten Academy

On March 19th, the Coffee Cats transferred to Kitten Academy from one of the other fosters at On Angels' Wings. They're already nearly ready to graduate - we anticipate they'll only need to stay at the Academy for a couple of weeks.

We'll put together a video and add them to the weight chart as soon as we can! In the meantime, here's your kitten identification guide!

Latte can be identified by his lack of collar (if he is wearing it, it's blue, but he seems to prefer to not). In addition, his orange spots on his back are broken up with a lot of white, while Frappe and Caramel are more solid.

Caramel's easily identified by his black collar.

Frappe has a pink collar, and more white on her haunches. Frappe has already been adopted, but will still be staying to finish her classes at the Academy!

Mocha has a brown and pink collar.

Java has a distinct white tail tip - a little hard to see here. Java has also already been adopted, but will be staying on to finish out the semester.

Bean is black and white!

Here's some extra photos of the Coffee Cats!

Yesterday, five new kittens arrived at the Kitten Academy, from Animal Outreach Society. We're referring to their group as "The Sprigs." They came from a feral mother in a feral cat colony, but have been living indoors for at least a week or two. Most of them like people and will purr, so they're already better off than our last group of feral kids -- the Spice kittens from earlier this year.

Ivy's League and the Weathercats in the main room were due for adoption this weekend, but Dusty has come down with a serious upper respiratory infection, and possibly Yale has it already, too. So Animal Outreach Society has decided they will stay with us an extra two weeks while they get over their colds. They will be eligible for adoption, and go to the PetSmart in McHenry, on November 26th, instead.

Until then, the new kittens will be staying in the Kitten Academy annex. We need to keep them separate until we know both groups are very healthy, and given their big difference in size, probably they will need to be separate even if they are healthy.

Here's some intro photos from after their baths:
