Adorable, strong, healthy, mellow KITTENS - ALL ADOPTED

A week after we got Ulli and Sam off to Molly (see topic 'Ulli and Sam found real life surrogate mother, for now…), we collected Twinkletoes, Dotje, and Donut. One of those great Animals Taiwan volunteers followed the instructions on the box they were found in in a ShiDa park: ‘Take Cat’.

These feminine feline babies are now in their fourth week. Not only are they easy on the eye, but they are easy on the night rest too, as they sleep right thru! They are healthy and strong and have begun to pounce and leap and play and have discovered the other animals in our household. (Of course, Sugar, our two-legged dog, discovered them first, see: youtube.com/watch?v=qxOMK0H8flU and rate the flick and help raise money for Animals Taiwan that way!)

From our experience with bottle-fed kittens these pets are not only lovely and loveable, but will be very easy and mellow. They are great around humans, let themselves be ‘picked up’ and dragged around by children without a complaint, and love other cats and dogs as well (if you looked at above short movie, you already know why!).

Twinkletoes, Dotje, and Donut will be ready for adoption in a few weeks. You can come and have a look at them now though. Just PM me or contact Sean at Animals Taiwan and he’ll give you my phone number.

And please spread the word. Thanks! MO

Twinkletoes (thanks to Maureen). Her big eyes are completely clear and gunk-free now. And no, she’s not a fruit bat!

Donut, who will likely remain blind in one eye, but that’s ok, she came with two!

Dotje. Her beautiful eyes have healed completely.

They’re winners!

They’ve just moved on to babyfood (Straydog I’ve tried the raw meaty bones, but I remembered an old buddy of mine saying you shouldn’t eat anything that’s bigger than your face, well, how about things that are bigger than your entire body, huh?).

And there’s more good news: doc says an operation might save Donut’s eye!

In the meantime they’re living the good life, playing, eating, sleeping, eating some more, playing some more, sleeping some more…

And for the number crunchers among us :loco:

As you can see in this picture Donut (and I can assure you: this goes for her sisters too) is very unhappy at our place. Who will give them the definitive home they so deserve?

Both Twinkletoes and Donut found great homes. The prettiest of all by far, our little Dim Sum (or Dotje), is eagerly awaiting her home for life at 3 1/2 months. She has already been de-sexed and received vaccinations. She’s a healthy, strong little girl, who knows what she wants. Who wants her? Just look at that perfect mask and the little patch of orange on top of her head. She’s a real head turner. She grew up with many other kittens, adult cats, dogs, and the occasional human, and she’s fine with all. Come and visit and be warned that you’ll want to take her home.

This beauty is still available. She will soon move to Animals Taiwan, where more people will have a chance to see her. Going…going…

Dim Sum is gorgeous. Who is her best friend?

She has several. She’s quite independent and doesn’t necessarily bond with anyone in particular. If I’d have to pick someone it would be her similarly beautiful sister Donut. But she’s already adopted.

If you’re looking for a pair of cats for your friend (and I certainly agree that a cat should not be on his/her own) your best bet is Ulli and Sam, sisters (see their separate thread), or Frank and Marijn, very possibly brothers (see the Operation Market Kittens thread). They are real teams, always all over each other.

Dim Sum found a great home, along with her half-brother Marijn. We visited them since and they are happy and extremely well off with a no-nonsense mom and a huge balcony!

Again, a happy ending for a litter of kittens that would have died had they not been picked up by a caring human at just about 10 days of age.

It’s all worth it! Don’t give up on these little lives, ever!
