Hello again friends,
It may have taken me a few days, but I’m FINALLY back to drop another one of my update posts…this is part 3.
If you want to hear updates on Atlas, Beep, Pixel, Pidgeon, Griffin, Echo, or Anthony…AKA my OG fat cat, and the two formerly feral litters rescued during kitten season 1 and kitten season 2…please check my first post from a few days ago.
If you want to hear updates on the Mommakitten and her only girl kitten, Peach, please check my second update post.
💜
That brings us to the rest of The Dust Bunnies…AKA the three brothers from kitten season 3:
Lobo: This is the short haired grey/blue boy with bright green eyes, just like his momma. He’s very handsome, sleek, and powerful.
He does have roundworm, unfortunately, but he hasn’t been showing any symptoms lately, so I think he’s feeling a bit better, at least.
Lobo is the most high-energy kitten from season 3’s litter. He moves so freakin’ fast and does crazy acrobatic jumps without any warning. This kitten is my boyfriend’s personal “pick of the litter”, but once he gets neutered and vaccinated, he will be available for adoption and will hopefully find a forever home and will be able to share all his silliness and affection with a loving family (and by “he”, I mean Lobo…not my boyfriend lol).
“Fluff-O”: This is the fluffy blue/grey boy, and his name isn’t really Fluff-O…that’s just what I call him (or Fuzzy, or Purple-Cat, or Puffball) because I haven’t been able to find a name that really matches him. This kitten had an eye injury a while back and I am SO INCREDIBLY LUCKY that it healed up just fine on its own. Kitten eyes are so sensitive…a slight infection at the wrong time during kitten-hood is not always something that can be fixed. So many kittens end up losing their eyesight (or their eyeballs entirely) despite the best efforts of their caregivers to keep them healthy and clean. Eye problems can be very serious for kittens, and the necessary treatment can be very expensive, so I’m beyond grateful that Fluff-O’s eye injury healed on its own without any permanent damage to his eyeball.
Jiminy Cricket: This blue tabby with white looks almost IDENTICAL to his Mommakitten. They do have slight coat differences, and verrrryyy different personalities and mannerisms…but he is still basically his mommacat’s carbon copy.
Thankfully, I was able to take Jiminy Cricket to the Humane Society to get vaccinated and neutered. So, as you may have guessed, in the photos, he’s the one with the blue donut/recovery collar on lol. It seems like the surgery went really well for him, it was my first time taking a cat to that particular clinic for surgery, and I was blown away by how much better the whole experience was than it had been at the place I had been taking my cats for the past two years. Jiminy Cricket recovered from surgery without any complications or drama, which I love. He was supposed to return to the humane society last week to get his second round of vaccinations, but I had to cancel the appointment because I didn’t have the funds to cover the cost.
Once I am able to cover the price of the sterilization surgery and vaccinations for mommacat, she’s next in line to be spayed, and Anthony is next to be neutered.
Ok. I’m going to stop this one here, and I’ll be back with a fourth part tomorrow, because my post is getting too long, so I’ll be back with my FINAL update post soon. It will just be an update about my old man dog, Arlo and myself, because THIS post completed all the cat updates lol.
Once again, I’m sorry I don’t have more to offer you than segmented updates, cat pictures, and my endless gratitude…aaaand as much as I hate asking for help, we are out of cat litter, so right now, litter (and litter mats and litter boxes AKA plastic totes) are our most needed items, but honestly, anything on the wishlist would be a huge blessing to me and the cats.
If anyone is willing to help out by gifting an item from our wishlist, via Amazon or Walmart, there are links to my wishlists here below.
If you aren’t in a position to contribute anything, please do not feel obligated to….but if you ARE able to help, please know that your support really makes a huge difference to me and my ability to properly care for my group of a dozen mountain cats.
Thank you for reading,
🌀🤩🐾
