Absolute Craziness

I have been neglecting my blog. *slaps self*

Needless to say quite a bit has happened over the past week or so since I last filled you in.

Harlem has been adopted.
You Go Girl, Happy Life little one.
I found this exceptionally fitting as she was the kitten I thought would not make it. For at least the first week in my care Harlem's weight only went down and she didn't have much left to lose but she defeated the odds and made it to sales and is now the first of the six to find herself a family. Woo Hoo.

Garfield, who I only had for a little over a week or so, reached weight quite easily and returned to the shelter. I'm pleased to announce that only recently he too, has found a family of his own.
Giving people my cute eyes worked ~ Garfield
My advertisement of the shelter cats and kittens has proven to be quite helpful and I hope as I continue splashing cute cat pictures that more will find homes.

My time with the remaining four S's - Salem, Suess, Sherlock and Sierra - unfortunately reached the end.
Having a snooze after a big photo session
All kittens were well over 1 kg upon returning and if I kept them much longer they would turn into little cats. They were already reaching the lanky stage and several times I caught myself looking at Salem and thinking he was Onyx.

Yoda had also packed on some much needed grams. Due to some sore eyes that were fixed with treatment she had been kept apart from mixing with the other kittens. At the vet check they found her to be clear of illness and she was at the right weight to pass into sales.
Looking much better now...
Needless to say being dumped in the kitten room wasn't her idea of a fun time but at least for awhile she might get to catch up with Garfield and Bieber. She's such an exotic looking kitten I hope she finds a home soon.

Well earlier in the week I brought home two kittens who look extremely tiny but their movement says they're older. I call them the Fuzzies.
This is Cleo fully relaxed in dads' arms
Tash trying not to fall asleep on me and failing
 Tash and Cleo are affectionate little mites but are still quite badly underweight being in the high 300 to low 400 gram mark. If all goes well Tash is already spoken for but I'll be able to relax more when they've gained at least 100 grams.
Trying to show how unique Tash's coat is. Her black patches are actually tabby striped.
The five black kittens have names and some glaringly bright sock coats because once again they have no distinguishing markings. I asked a fellow blogger and kitten fosterer Connie (you can see her blog here) to name them as currently her kitten season is being a bit slow in starting where mine doesn't seem to be ending.

Ayoss (has been changed to Ace due to my inability to pronounce the name properly)
This sock suited Ace, she even got a yellow or pink ball to carry around matching her outfit 
Aura
Very hard to tell apart from Athena if she didn't have her coat
Athena
Athena making sure her sister's aren't coming to ambush her.
Apollo
Apollo stopping to give me a nice shot.
Zuess (since I had Suess at the same time and once you see his sock coat you'd understand but I've been calling him Zee)
Zee the bumble bee
So this week I started with twelve again returned five and came home with another one.

Mac is already adopted but she's a little below the right weight so she's sticking with me.
Cute little Mac still bright and happy
Hopefully by Friday she'll be at a weight in which she can be safely put under for her surgery. She does currently have a little issue with a bad tooth which will also be seen to at the same time.

This is the mayhem that has been going on over the past week or so. Current tally is 8 but if all goes well I might be down to 7 by Friday.
