Skittles and her Newborn Kittens

Kitten season just won't let up since there is no discernible winter in sight. Our latest rescued family got a ride with a volunteer who also picked up a mommy dog and some puppies.  Thanks to our foster volunteers, so we were able to act and rescue these kitties.  

Here is what was written in the rescue plea that prompted us to act and save the new family.

"Skittles's became a mommy last night (Saturday, 12/29/12). She arrived at The Fort Lauderdale Animal Care & Adoption Center a few days ago. She had a big belly when she arrived and just last night she showed us her three kids. She has an orange tiger, a tortie, and a calico. Skittles is the nicest, sweetest cat ever. She purrs nonstop and is always wanting to be pet. She was so happy to have her photo taken she began kneading in the air. " 

Hugo. Adopted

 

Hugo (aka Miss Hugo, Hu-GO Girl, Huguette, etc) has been adopted! Our beauty with one eye went to a lovely family today.  What a splendid Christmas present indeed!!  Her new name is Wink.  Cute name for a cute kitty :)

Congrats Miss Hugo!

Orphan Kittens Think Dog is Mom

Looking through my old videos of Stella.  This is Suzie Q's litter. Little Sam with the black mask really loved his doggie momma and it was a while before he gave up trying to nurse on her arm pit.

Chug and the Kittens

Last night the Dragon Pug made his last visit to the castle.  The kittens are too feisty for him now, and snug stuck a claw in his behind which soured the mood.  However, once Chug shook off the costume, he made himself at home in the tent and laid claim to the kittens toys.

After being slayed, Chug retreated to the couch to hang with kittens he trusts more than curious kittens.  Here he is snuggling on the electric blanket with Sophie, who has been sick and enjoys having a cuddle buddy.

Chance and Teddy Update!!

Update from Roar!

Life is fairly quiet at my house now that there are only two cats. Teddy is teaching Chancey how to meow for attention while Chancey is keeping Teddy active. We are hoping Teddy teaches him how to fetch! Chancey has taken to Mr.Roar and frequently picks to sit on his lap and play with him rather than cuddle with me. Teddy seems quite content with lounging on the couch and treehouse. 

Chug the Dragon Pug

The castle was stormed by a lovable Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug mix) today.  The kitties had fun riding on him and slaying the dragon.  For every $500 raised..through subscriptions or donations... the Dragon Pug will make a visit.  Here are a few screenshots from viewers.

Rescue Relay Mission

On my way home with house guests for the night.  A rescue volunteer in Miami pulled 6 kitties from the shelter, handed off to another rescuer who drove them from Miami office in Fort Lauderdale, then I took two to a foster who met me in Boynton Beach who will get them up to Palm Beach Gardens tomorrow.....while I took four home for the night.  The four, two orange tabbies, one calico and one dilute calico, are so incredibly cute and get picked up in the morning and taken to Wellington PETCO. 

Took 6 people to rescue these 6 kittens. Go Team Cat!

Our Lil' Romeo has Crossed the Rainbow Bridge

Around 2 AM this morning, after hours and hours of care, medicines, and everything else that could possibly be done for the little boy kitten named Romeo, our baby passed away in my arms.  Though we will never know for sure what caused our little boy to stop eating 5 days ago, there is strong evidence that he had a birth defect.  

Romeo had a happy kittenhood, a warm place to cuddle with his fuzzy brothers, and a wonderful kitty mother in Lumi. He will be missed.

Bath Day

All the kittens and momma Lumi got baths today.  Here is cute little Hamlet (Hammy) getting dried after his bath.  His silvery white hair is so pretty!

Thanks to all who participated and for the fact that everyone was courteous and polite.  Second place were winter themed names, which we will try and use with other kittens.

P.S. We didn't name the Ladybug Pillow Pet. How about Lady Macbug? Discuss amongst yourselves. ;)

Naming!

At 8 PM Eastern we will have a naming meeting.  Due to the limitations of the the You Tube message board, we will use the Ustream chat.  It is embedded on the Live Kitten Cam page on the A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue website.  We will also include the You Tube chatters in the discussion, though the primary forum will be the flash chat.

More name suggestions can be posted here. Think of a theme that can apply to all the kittens, and extra points if they all start with the same letter!

Adorableness

Mom really knows how to look cute for the camera, in addition to being stunningly beautiful.
