Cool Cole

This is one handsome, hunk of a cat!  Meet Cole - he also goes by Too Cool For School and Most Perfect Cat Ever.  He's just been in the Catsnap program for a couple of days, but is already proving to be quite the heartbreaker.  
Cole is laid back yet chatty, playful yet cuddly.  All this wrapped up a beautiful tuxedo.  What else could you ask for?
He is healthy and would fit well into any home.  Come meet him this Saturday 11-2 and Sunday 1-3 at Petsmart.

Knitting for Kittens!

We've had several people donate yarn over the last few months, and we have wonderful volunteers crocheting / knitting blankets for the kitties to use while they are in foster care and in the cages at Petsmart.  They really seem to enjoy them.  I thought I'd share a picture of little Lila enjoying one of the blankets that was made for her.  
This picture has nothing to do with knitting, but I couldn't resist - I love the way kittens look when they're sleeping.

Spring Cleaning

Spring is here, which means summer is right around the corner! If you are planning any spring cleaning this year, think of us for any extra household items you no longer need. We will be having a 'food drive' garage sale sometime in this summer (Update: the tentative date is now May 16!) and we can use items to sell.

The money from the garage sale will be used to for food and litter for foster kittens. By the looks of it, we're going to have lots of kittens this year that will need our assistance.

If you have any items to donate, contact me.

Meet Beautiful Pepper Ann!




This lovely girl came to us just in time! She is on the thin side and in need of some a little TLC. She is very friendly and loves to be around people. She will thrive in a loving home where she can be the center of the universe.

Adoption Update: Max

Catsnap received a very nice email from a woman who adopted a kitten from us in January.  Max (then Carter) came to us from the Rantoul Pound with his two fluffy brothers, Fargo and Flint.  

Max is doing great.  He's very playful and sweet.  He tolerates being carried around everywhere by my 4 year old and always leaves his claws in (except for at 5:00 am when he wakes us every morning, scratching on the bed!)  He's getting along great and loves to play with his best buddy, Princess (seen in the picture with him).  
Blue, our other cat adopted from Catsnap does not like Max AT ALL.  She likes to hiss, growl and swat and him.  But it doesn't faze him much.  Blue does not tolerate the two very well but she gets by.  She's just a bit grumpy and anti-social.  
Well, I just wanted you to see how cute Max still is and know that he's doing great.  Blue's doing great too.  She just doesn't understand why these kittens just won't leave her alone!
Thanks for two special kitties!!!!

Meet Spicy!




The wild beast has been tamed. She is now more sweet than spicy. What a real sweet heart she is. She loves to come up and flop as well as rub up against you. Her favorite things to do is to chase and play with my permanent foster Linus as well as to sit and stare and to talk to you. Here is her link on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVO2LKXgVXY&feature=channel_page.

Rook

Meet adorable Rook!  This guy didn't stick around long enough to make an 'adoptable' posting for him - he was only in the Catsnap program for about a week!  Rook was another one of our special cats - he lost one of his back legs as a kitten when he was hit by a car.  Lucky for him, he was able to get quick medical attention and made a wonderful recovery.  

Rook was adopted a few days ago by a great family who also adopted Nika, a 4-month old Russian Blue kitten.  They should have a great life ahead of them.  

These pictures are just too cute to not share!



If you've adopted a Catsnap cat from us, don't forget to send us an update!  We love to hear how they're doing and post their pictures on the blog.

This Weekend: FIV+ kittens

We'll have an extra special group of kitties at Petsmart this weekend.  

We have Lila (on the right, 6 weeks), and 5 month old siblings Bear (left) and Fiona (dilute tortie).  They are all wonderful cats and ready to go to their forever homes!  They are all FIV+, but should lead happy and healthy lives.  

Bear and Fiona are pretty bonded and we'd like to send them home together.  Little Lila will fit in anywhere.   

Stop by and see these cuties Saturday 11-2 and Sunday 1-3.

Adoption Update


I thought I'd share with everyone that lovely Ian went to his fur-ever home last weekend!  He has a wonderful new family and a new name, Roscoe.  His new mom says he is is adjusting well and is very chatty and playful!  Roscoe has cat siblings to keep him busy.  He is such a great cat - such a happy ending!  
This is a picture of him in his new house, chewing on some ribbon.  What a cutie!
