Congratulations to Cole, Earl and Grey Oliver!

Congratulations to Cole, Earl and Grey Oliver! All three babies went to their new homes this evening! It was a little sad...I may or may not have cried for a brief moment before we went in to the AARF House, but it was also VERY happy! They are going to love their new homes and they will be very well taken care of.

(...i'm not sure which one this is, but isn't it a cute picture??)

Thanks to KS, WW and their families for giving these babies a good home!

Thanks, Kelly and Kanga!

I almost forgot to post this! After my blog post about Mother's Day and Fancy Feast, one of Ginger's coworkers was reading and brought this treat in from her kitty, Kanga! Wasn't that sweet? Thanks, Kelly and Kanga!

First Babysitter

The kittens and I had our first babysitter this past week! Ginger and Christopher were both traveling for work for a couple days - what are the chances? Big THANK YOU to Ginger's brother, Keith, for coming to see us every day and taking such good care of us! He even took this video while he was here:

Still Climbing

My apologies to Meghan & Matt, KS and WW...I fear I have allowed the kittens to develop a bit of a bad habit. They climb legs. They stay in a small space and it's hard to control five kittens at once...and it really is kind of cute...as long as you are wearing jeans and a sturdy cotton shirt. No silk, no lace, no sheer.

They are so sweet. They want to be held and loved. Gentle Ben (soon to be Benjamin Watson, "Ben") is the biggest climber of all - straight up to the shoulders. When Ginger cleans our room, feeds us, changes our water - everything - Gentle Ben is on her shoulder. Cole (soon to be...?) is getting there too - he makes it to her shoulders about 50 percent of the time.

Grey Oliver and Earl (I believe KS is dropping the "Grey" and keeping the Oliver and keeping Earl!) are climbers too, but they mostly climb up to Ginger's waist and then back down...and up...and down...and up...

Maurice (soon to be Obadiah Jackson, "Obi") isn't quite as agile, but he will definitely climb up to Ginger's lap if she is sitting.

Me? I'm a different story. Ginger say's I'm an angel. I don't climb, I just purr and love! Nobody has asked to bring me to their home yet, but I'm staying positive. I hope it happens soon. Does anybody know someone that would want me to live with them?

Gentle Ben and Maurice

Gentle Ben and Maurice have found a great home with a wonderful couple in Kernersville. M&M are going to love these two kitties! Gentle Ben and Maurice won't be ready to leave Mom until the first week in June, but they are looking forward to joining their new family.

(why are they in the sink, you may ask? they are too rambunctious to get a picture of just the two of them together, both semi-looking at the camera!)

(gentle ben has been chowing down on some dry food! i am so proud of him. these two pictures are so funny!)

(maurice poses for the picture!)

Gentle Ben is the rowdiest of the crew and Maurice is the most calm. I think they will make a good pair - they can even each other out!

Earl and Grey Oliver

Earl and Grey Oliver have found a great home with KS and her family. KS has a special place in her heart for grey kitties and had been looking for a some for the past couple months. I think that KS and her family are going to love Earl and Grey Oliver! The kittens won't be ready to leave Mom until the first week of June, but they are very excited to meet their new family.

(even in the sink I couldn't get a good picture of their faces together!)

(see what I mean?)

Cole

Cole has found a great home with WW and her family. Cole will be heading off by himself, but WW and KS are sisters-in-law so perhaps he will get to see Grey Oliver and Earl occasionally. Plus, WW has a couple other cats at home who will be able to show Cole the ropes. Cole won't be able to leave Mom until the first week in June, but he is looking forward to meeting his new family.
