What We Need This Week?

We need a paper cutter. Before you buy one, please email Anne, to see if someone else has already bought one for us. We don’t need more than one.

Katalina is settling into her new forever home quite well!

Who Got Adopted?

 
Adoptions started out slow this year. Usually, we are totally overwhelmed with kitties in the summer and as soon as school starts, they begin getting adopted. All bets were off this year, but now we’re getting good adoption applications. These kitties went home recently.
Katrina—one of the kitties from a Carthage, TX shelter which has not achieved no-kill status yet.

And Katalina—Katrina’s sister.
Kai and Kamal—their brothers. They went together. There’s still one kitten left from the litter, Kyle.
Beans and Black Eyed Peas went together. They were kittens of a feral kitty, Boo, who delivered and raised her babies here, was spayed, and has gone back to her home where she is monitored, fed, and loved. Beans and Black Eyed went to a lovely couple—two kitties, two humans, good match. These girls had become very bonded and we refused to separate them.
Cuddles and Taz became great friends at their foster home.
Cuddles and Taz came from the streets of Seguin. They probably aren’t littermates but they bonded in their foster home and they have been adopted together to a first-time cat owner. We walk first-timers through the whole process of making a kitty feel at home.
Tomasina appealed to a man by running up to him in the busy parking lot of the Valero on Hwy. 290 and Sawyer Ranch Road. She was about four weeks old and dodging traffic at that convenience store! We happened to be talking to the vet’s office that he phoned for help and he was connected to us. Tomasina is a pistol! We are confident that her new family can handle her.
Mufasa enjoys his vet visit.
Mufasa is a black kitten who went to a couple in San Marcos, the city where he was born. For many years after we began Thundering Paws, we noticed that black cats and kittens were the last to be chosen, if at all. I am so grateful that this has changed. Mufasa is the FIRST kitten of his family to be adopted!
Idris was found by one of our adopters. His colony is mostly feral and he was the only kitten seen. Idris is absolutely not feral. A sweeter boy would be hard to find. We liked the name and gave it to him. Amazingly enough, his new dad is named Idris! That kitten’s name is bound to change or it will get way too confusing.

How Many Names Does Your Pet Have?

Beauregard, the official greeter at the Sanctuary, has many names such as WumpDoodle and Shower Meower.
Animal names morph. You all know about Beauregard, our TNVR cat, our only outdoor/indoor cat. Since he was trapped as a feral cat, we acknowledge that his home is outdoors in our neighborhood. He usually stays in the yard, visiting our next-door neighbor who puts out kibble for a feral kitty. (She is, of course, spayed and up to date on vaccines.) And Beau has deigned to stay inside at night…so far. We all know about this situation: indoor/outdoor cats come in at night until they don’t. It’s a frightening risk!
 
Several newsletters ago, I explained how he got his nickname, “The Wumpus.” We define a wumpus as a cat that walks up to you and flops at your feet to be adored.
 
Then Beau’s name morphed into WumpDoodle, we don’t know why. Seemed like a good name.
 
When he is outside, he is The Official Greeter, and the Car Hopper. He knows the vehicles of all staff and some volunteers. He greets the car, usually by standing in the middle of the driveway. We all know to be careful. He stands there until the person opens the car door, then he hops in to be driven up to their parking place.
 
When I take a shower, he often sits on the mat outside the shower and talks, I assume, about the fact that I am getting wet which doesn’t seem like a good idea to him. For that, he got his nickname, “Shower Meower.”
