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.
