Kittenless & Road Trip

Events of 21st August 2015

Willow was alright at vet check and was okay to go straight down for surgery.

She would return to the shelter and therefore I'm officially kitten-less.

Since we had a bit of a lull another shelter had to intake a huge number of Maine Coon and Ragdoll crosses so Katie was going there to pick up a few.

I decided since I had nothing much to do but sit in a very quiet home considering my parents were on their yearly three week vacation in the caravan and no kittens and no permanent cat that I'd ask to tag along.

The drive was pretty uneventful and I got to drive the shelter van a little bit. Its quite a bit different to drive than my little Nissan Micra as its automatic and the blinkers and wipers are on the wrong sides. I'm not a huge fan of it but it does the job.

Upon arriving we were led back to the pens and the layout is very different to the portland shelter. There were a LOT of cats.

We were given six. Five Maine Coon crosses and one Ragdoll cross. For all we know they could have been pure but some were smaller and others bigger and I don't think they came with any official paperwork of a breeder.

Just because they're extra large and extra amazing, extra large pics to introduce them...

Not being agreeable for her photograph.
Some of the cats were very shy and others were outgoing. How they react in the weeks to come will decide whether I get a few kitties to foster for socialization.

And just because an adorable pic of Wally settling in to adoption...
I mean....can you get anymore relaxed?
