Misty Gray [7] - September 11, 2024 10 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (6 months ago)
Misty Gray [7]
Karen says: I found Misty Gray at a petting zoo at the local county fair. A woman there had 15 or 20 kittens in a bunch of kennels and was selling them for $25 each. I watched as the kittens were being mauled by hundreds of kids. I first saw them on Thursday and I couldn't get them out of my mind. I went back on Saturday and offered her $5 each for the two sickest kittens. Misty had an eye infection and a really bad upper-respiratory infection. We spent a couple of weeks nursing her back to health -- with the help of a vet -- before she was adopted to a good home with a nice family.

Isabella's Kittens' Friend Flipper [7] - September 10, 2024 9 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (6 months ago)
Isabella's Kittens' Friend Flipper [7]
Jill says: We brought Flipper home to join Isabella's litter of four in foster care when we took Isabella back to the Fredericton SPCA. Flipper was found by herself just outside the city. She has the cutest feet ever... two extra toes on each front foot and one extra on each back foot! Right away she got along really well with the Isabella's kittens. Within half an hour they were cuddled up together. No hissing or anything! Flipper was very independent and could entertain herself with any toy. She was one of the weirdest kittens we've fostered... I mean that in a good way! She will definitely always stand out. Her favourite thing to do was march on the blanket on the back of our couch and try to suckle it. She actually taught the other kittens how to do it! I don't know if they they were comforted by it because it was soft and fleecy (possibly like their mom?) but they sure left it nice and slobbery for me when I sat down. We returned Flipper to the SPCA last week, when she had just a few more ounces to put on before she could go up for adoption. We hope by the time you're reading this Flipper will be in her new home.
UPDATE: Flipper got adopted June 20 after being at the shelter for a month! Thanks to Brittany, who saw Flipper on the Good Morning Kitten and went to get her and bring her home!

Isabella's Kittens: Zorro [7] - September 09, 2024 8 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (6 months ago)
Isabella's Kittens: Zorro [7]
Jill says: Zorro was a great little boy. He liked to cuddle up on my shoulder when I was sitting on the couch. Zorro had a rough time when we were fostering him. He had pneumonia and pink eye. All the kittens were sick but unfortunately Zorro got hit the worst. I got up in the middle of the night one night to check on them and Zorro was wheezing so badly that I didn't think he'd make it through the night. I sat with him and cuddled him for a few minutes and tried to make him as comfortable as I could. Thankfully he pulled through (after three vet visits, twice daily antibiotics and eyedrops, and a steroid injection!) and I'm sure he is very happy in his new home.

Isabella's Kittens: Ricardo [7]
Jill says: Ricardo was the biggest of Isabella's four kittens and sooo handsome. We named him after Richard Alpert (for all you fans of LOST) because of his cute little eyeliner! Ricardo needed a lot of socialization. He hated being picked up at first and was very scared, but after working with him for a few weeks we eventually got him to be a bit more cuddly! Like his siblings, Ricardo found a forever home shortly after we returned him to the shelter.

Isabella's Kittens: Lemoni [7] - September 07, 2024 6 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (6 months ago)
Isabella's Kittens: Lemoni [7]
Jill says: Lemoni was a sweet little princess. She had the softest fur I've ever touched.... like a little cotton ball! I loved the little smudge on her head. She had a great personality and was very cuddly. Like Rambo, Lemoni was adopted to a loving home -- in this case with a woman who had recently lost her cat. She was actually the first of Isabella's kittens to be adopted.

Isabella's Kittens: Rambo [7] - September 06, 2024 5 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (6 months ago)
Isabella's Kittens: Rambo [7]
Jill says: Isabella (aka Miss Noodle on the Fredericton SPCA Web site) came to us with her four kittens in early April. They came from the Saint John Animal Rescue League, which is a kill shelter and was very overcrowded. The Fredericton SPCA drove down and picked up several cats and litters of kittens to bring them to our shelter. I then picked up Isabella and her kittens and brought them home for some tender loving foster care.
Rambo may look cute but he lived up to his name! He loved to jump on top of and wrestle his brothers and sisters. He would even try to take on our adult cats.... that didn't go over to well with them! He had tons of energy and after you tired him out he'd cuddle right up with you. When we returned him to the shelter he was adopted right away and is now in his forever home.
Isabella was very skinny and probably only a year old. She was a great mom to her kittens considering it was probably her first litter. She was also very playful herself and loved to chase toy mice when she wasn't busy with her little ones. Unfortunately, when her kittens got sick with pneumonia she rejected them and she also started getting a bit aggressive with our own adult cats, so we took her back to the SPCA where she is currently waiting for someone to give her a forever home.
UPDATE from the Kitten Krew: Jill wrote this blurb several days ago when Isabella was waiting to be adopted. Isabella's photo disappeared from the SPCA Web site today so we HOPE that means she found a forever home. We're waiting for Jill to check in with us and let us know if there's good news...
UPDATE II: Isabella did indeed get adopted!

Oscar [7]
David says: Oscar is the youngest of our three cats and is now almost a year old. He’s a cross tabby/Bengal and is VERY energetic. He gets his nose into everything and seems afraid of nothing -- loves to lie in ambush for the other cats, who are getting a bit fed up with it! Mind you, he’s not too sure about the rabbit. He prowls the back gardens here in Portsmouth, UK, strutting with his tail always up and slightly bow-legged. He’s a real character and we love him to bits (not so much when he’s miaowing for food at dawn though). He eats everything he can, is very interested in the kitchen garbage bin and we have to remember to put the lavatory lid down at night.

Stephanie says: Meet Dior, an abandoned kitten that my teenage daughter Amanda rescued. I have always been dog person myself. My daughters hid this kitty for four days before letting me know it was in my house. :-) She's so cute, how could I say no?! It took a while for our dog Jack Jack and Dior to get used to each other, but once they did they began to play together often. She's a big girl now and a diva. She doesn't like to cuddle or curl up on my lap. She's independent and moody. I even took to calling her Miss Hissy for a while when we got a new puppy and she wouldn't stop hissing at him. But she's still the cutest kitty I've ever seen!

Diego [7] - September 02, 2024 1 Sep 2024 8:00 PM (7 months ago)
Diego [7]
skuds says: Diego came to us when he was about six weeks old. He had been part of a litter from a local farm cat. When we saw all six in a basket we wanted them all but somehow knew that one would be enough of a handful!
We wanted a kitten to keep our six-month-old Chiquita company. The day Diego arrived she was promoted from kitten to cat and she greeted him with some hissing but within a week they were curled up in the basket together. Having seen his mother and half brother, we know Diego is going to be a big cat, but for now he is the baby of the family.
