Another adoption, and new kittens

Gogo was adopted tonight. The last of his litter, Gogo is a handsome 5-month old black kitten. So glad it was his turn.

Then took in a litter of five kittens from our wait list. Glad we could make room for them. This litter of kittens have been living outside and battling bad upper respiratory. The are about 5.5-6 weeks old; three black kittens and two brown tabbies. They have been de-flea'd, ears cleaned and treated with ear mite meds, intestinal parasite meds started tonight. Oral antibiotics also administered. They are settling into the hall bathroom. I do miss baths. *sigh*. However, I can deal with showers only for the safety of kittens. I havent gendered the kittens yet but if they are the right mix of males/females, I'll name them after Clue characters (Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Ms Scarlett, Mrs Peacock, etc.).

Independence Day Adoption

RoMeow was adopted today.  He was the last of the R kittens and honestly - the cutest!  Although all three are adorable with great personalities. 

Since we were moving into the Petsmart Raleigh adoption center Monday the 4th, we decided to go ahead and do an adoption event too.  One adoption makes it worth it.  And the absolute perfect fit for the family and kitten.

Adoption Update

Sherbet was adopted last night - to a home without young children (remember, he was returned because the littlest children in the house terrified Sherbet).  He was adopted by the co-worker of Karen - one of our key volunteers (and virtual office adminstrator).  Yay, Sherbet!

Today, Sweetums - our little poly-bob (polydactyl bobtail) and her brother, Kermit were adopted together.  Buttercup and Blossom were adopted together.  And Dublin was adopted. 


The local SPCA is doing $17.76 adoptions through Monday so we were not anticipating many adoptions and are really happy with how many we had.  But we stand by the fact that our cats have some of the best medical care, plus we are one of the only local rescues that vaccinates against FeLV, our Home Again microchips come with rescue paid registration (no additional fee to adopter), and we provide a health guarantee on our cats (if they get sick or need to see a vet within the first 21 days after adoption, we get them into one of our vets and we pay the bill) so we aren't reducing adoption fees (yet anyway). 

"Hug Me Slug" Fundraiser

Local artist, Elizabeth Ruffing, has a little Hug Me Slug fundraiser going on here in her Etsy shop: http://tinyurl.com/66kesnw.  $5 from the sale of each of these 7-inch Hug Me Slugs will go to Alley Cats and Angels of NC rescue, to help cats and kittens in need.

Buy adorable cuddly Hug Me Slugs and help support the cats of Alley Cats and Angels. If you're thinking "slugs - cuddly? really?". Well, yes indeed they are. I received one for my birthday last year and love, love, love it!! They make great gifts. Elizabeth sold one to someone on Buckingham Palace Road in London earlier this week. So they are internationally known adorableness!!
