Bad Kitty!!

As much as I try to kitten-proof the house, on occasion, I forget the obvious...

Yep. Little Scarlet is actually INSIDE the toilet.  Cute and adorable, yet totally gross.

Scarlet, Reggie and Volunteer T-Shirts

We've had Scarlet and Reggie for just over a week, and I'm happy to report that both of them are doing really well and will be adoptable in no time.  Feral kittens tend to tame pretty quickly once they are in a home environment.  In my experience, the best way to socialize kittens is to wrap them in a towel and give them as much attention as possible.  The socializing process can take anywhere from a few hours to several weeks.  Scarlet was fully tame by day 3.  She is a spitfire and spends most of her day chasing her foster sister Lila up the stairs. 

Here's Scarlet on day 2.  Isn't she the most beautiful kitten in the world?


We have a small cat bed/dome in their foster room that she just loves.  However, if she's on top of it....
...you can pretty much bet that little Reggie is buried inside and she isn't about to let him out!
ROAR!!!
Reggie is getting a little braver about exploring the house and playing with the other cats (and inspecting the camera).  He's still on the timid side, but I think he'll be just perfect in a few weeks.  He'll have what remains of his mangled back leg removed once he gets a bit bigger, and can go to his forever home once he heals.  

Both of them are available for adoption and Scarlet will be making an appearance at Petsmart in the month of October after she is spayed.  



Also, CATsNAP t-shirts are finally here!!  We had these fantastic shirts made at te' shurt' (711 S. Wright St) on campus, and the staff was great with us and made us a high-quality, comfortable shirt that we can work in.  Show your support for no-kill animal rescue!  If you're interested in purchasing one, send me an email.

Scarlet and Reggie

Meet 5-week old Sir Reginald Dashingham (aka Reggie). Reggie was caught on 9/20/09 and was living at a recycling center with his sister Scarlet. Reggie is missing his back right paw. As CATsNAP has just taken him in, we don't know yet if he was born this way or suffered a trauma when he was a baby. He is also very thin, but his foster mom is working hard to fix that with numerous cans of Fancy Feast. Once he reaches a healthy weight, he will be neutered and will undergo surgery to remove what remains of his back leg to prevent further injury/infection.


Scarlet is a stunning dilute calico and is full of sugar and spice (and everything nice). She will be ready to go to her forever home by 10/1/09 after she has finished recovering from her spay surgery.

Petsmart Adopt-A-Thon

CATsNAP volunteers were out this weekend to with help with Petsmart's 'National Adoption Weekend' event.  We had several cats to show and Josie the dog.  We had a successful weekend and adopted out several cats and have an adoption pending on Josie. 

We're still in kitten season!  We have kittens of all ages in the program right now.  If you're looking for a kitten, they are all listed on Petfinder and we will be back in the Petsmart adoption center in September.  
Josie the Wonder Dog would much rather sit on her foster dad's lap than hang out with the cats.  She is the best dog ever and just loves everyone she meets (especially squirrels).  
CATsNAP rescued Gizmo, who was on the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter.  He found his forever home this weekend, along with his buddy Sophie.  He has the most beautiful eyes and loving personality.   Check out those whiskers!
It was a hot and sticky weekend!  Even though we had the shade of a tent, the kittens were all getting hot and grumpy after a few hours.  One of our fantastic volunteers put the kittens in her car one at a time, to enjoy some quiet snuggling and cool air conditioning.  

Thank you to all the great volunteers who worked so hard this weekend and did such a great job finding homes for our cats!

We'll be at the Urbana Farmer's Market this Saturday from 8am-12noon.  Stop by and see us!

Why it's Jenna and Joey!!


Aren't they a pair! These are the other 2 from the trio of Cubby Hole kitties. The top picture reminds me of a King surveying his kingdom and well...the other picture is just cute!! How can you not love these sweet souls, shyness and all. Are you the person to bring them out of their shells?

Piper of the Trio


Meet Piper of the cute Cubby Hole trio. She's absolutely stunning with very unusual markings. She's still a little shy, but loves to be petted. Won't you open your heart for this sweet soul?

A Cubby Hole of Cuties!


Well, not exactly a cubby hole, but certainly cuties. Take a look at these 3 cuties, Jenna, Joey, and Piper. (Piper is the tabby) This trio is a bit shy and with a little kindness and a toy or two, perhaps they can finally be kittens.
