Some good news. VOKRA is accepting applications for Pipi (the mom cat), Snowball and Columbus! Possibly to be adopted by you as soon as the end of THIS WEEK!
The way the adoption works is that you go to the VOKRA website, www.orphankittenrescue.com, and request these kittens. Then Amanda (from VOKRA) will put you in touch with me so you can come and meet the kittens. After you meet them, we’ll see if everyone is a good match and if so, then it’s just a little more administration work to get the adoption papers and the kittens will be under your care.
I do believe that you are required to transport the cat and kittens home in a cat carrier, not a cardboard box, so please purchase or borrow one beforehand.
Also, I believe that the mom cat (and possibly the kittens) will have to be spayed, arrangements will be made with VOKRA as to how to do this.
Since I’ve had the cats for about three weeks, I can tell you more about how they are in a minute and will post another video. I do want to mention first that it looks like Pipi and Snowball are still closely bonded together, thus they will have to be adopted as a mom and kitten pair. This should be for good times though as mom is a young cat herself. Columbus is fine by himself, but he also has a lot of fun playing with her brother. You are welcome to adopt all three, but consider if you can keep and manage them for 15 years.
Last, but not least, since I put this blog up just over two weeks ago, I’ve had at least twenty people ask to adopt the cat and kittens. So if you are wanting them, then you should plan now and move fast. I assume that pure white kittens are uncommon, especially ones that are as nice and cute as these ones!
Pipi, one year old mom cat is very tame, well behaved, and can be affectionate if you are good to her. She loves to come over and ask me for treats and she likes to be pet and scratched a certain way around her head. She also plays with her kittens a lot and is very caring, calling them over to feed them milk every so often. She is putting on weight very well and loves to eat! She is also a very shy cat when it comes to strangers and new places and may initially hide a lot, but I’m sure she’ll be ok once she’s given time to adjust to her environment for a while.
Snowball is the male kitten and this one is big! When I got him and Columbus three weeks ago, they were exactly the same size. But this guy likes to drink milk, so he’s like over a centimeter longer than Columbus now. With his larger size, he can climb things and he loves to dart around the place and chase Columbus and play fight with her, or play with his toys or scratch his horizontal scratching post. His is a bit of a baby and likes to be with mom.
Columbus is the female kitten of the kindle. Very cute, very self assured. She loves to dart around and chase Snowball and also is a great hunter of the toy mouse or the stretchy string. She also loves to play with the vertical scratching post and nowadays like to climb to the top, and perch on it like the queen she is. She loves to watch what is going on around her and is a smart cat. She will happily eat solid food off the plate. Snowball eats solid food as well, if mom isn't around.
All three are litterbox trained and seem to operate on three hour cycles right now. Meaning that they sleep for three hours, get up, stretch, then run around for a big, then go back to sleep for another three hours, and then get up and run around again. The kittens are growing well and fast, particularly in this last week.
They are very cute and must be seen. I’ll have pictures up on Petfinder (through the VOKRA website) as soon as my girlfriend returns my camera to me.
In the meantime, here is another video of them taken last week, then they were six weeks old.
Good luck with the adoption!
