Saturday was the day. We said goodbye to all four drapers who left in two sets of two. Any guesses on who went with who? I'll get to that later, for now, I'll share with you Butterbean's last day with The Drapers. They had a great morning together. They wrestled a bit, licked condensation off the window, licked each other, looked out the window and watched rain fall, leaves fly, and a big orange tomcat cross the street. They got a nap or two in as well.
Here are a few pictures from their final escapades.
how gorgeous! i hope they're all very happy in their new homes!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie, for sharing these intimate moments with us.
ReplyDeleteEach IBK batch is precious but these four had that little extra something. They're perfect.
Yay for their new families!
And YAYs for big kitties who also found their new forever homes this weekend, including sweet Francine, Bugsie, Martin, Mateo, Missy, Gus Gus, Anna & Spice! It was a wonderful weekend at the shelter.
Such fitting weather for saying goodbye! Best of luck to you, little Drapers!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you spared us the ones with the teary Charleen pretending She has something in Her eye as Drapers carry thier little suitacases to their forever homes
ReplyDeleteAnother successful graduation, Charlene! Looking forward to your next pupils.
ReplyDeleteSniff, Sniff....I am going to miss the Draper's.
ReplyDeleteNo kitty is safe from a Bean headlock (LOL). I'll miss the Drapers, but I know they're living the life in their new homes. Can't wait to find out who was paired up with who.
ReplyDelete*sniffle* it feels like they only just arrived... Take care, little kitties! We're gonna miss you lots.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what sweet babies. I'll miss them, too. They are so lucky to have someone like you to take them into your home and let them have a true kittenhood with good food, a warm place to sleep and a loving cat who will show them the ropes of being a cat! You're my Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI know which pairs went together, only because I wanted one set and they had already been claimed. :( I won't spoil the surprise.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye little Draper kitties.. good luck in your furever homes!
May I just say it?
ReplyDeleteI think the Bean is absolutely the best four legged foster mother in the entire Universe and beyond.
Luckily little Drapers! They didn't realize they would land in kitten heaven and then go on to a wonderful forever home. Does a person good to see it.
I can't wait to find out who went with whom! Lucky people who provide furever homes to the Drapers :D
ReplyDeletePoor widdle Charlene, with no babies to lick...for about a week. Then again, maybe she and Drewey will have some nice silent 'adult cat' nap time, because more sweet little fuzzballs are surely on their way.
ReplyDeleteAnother good job, Ms. Butterbean. I'm sure the Drapers will go into their forever homes with confidence, tails held high, because you have taught them how to be the best kitties ever.
ReplyDeleteLove your new motto, Drewey, I'll try my best to adhere to it.
i loved mildred!
ReplyDeleteI've loved watching the Drapers grow up, particularly little Luella, who reminds me so much of my own tortie. Lovely photos of what appears to be a perfect last day with the Bean. It must be difficult for you to say goodbye, but rewarding to know what lovely and healthy kitties you are handing off to their new mommies and daddies! xo
ReplyDeleteCharlene is the bestest auntiecat of all.
ReplyDeleteOh, and if I was pairing them up, I'd've put the boys together and the girls together. Just because I can't resist matched sets like Gordon and Perry.
ReplyDeleteAwww..bitter sweet moments for you and Charlene :S
ReplyDeleteCharlene is the bestest aunt a kitten could ever have. :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful the Drapers will be home for the holidays!!! Such sweet kittens! And big YAYS for all the big kitties who are also finding their forever homes now!!!!
ReplyDelete(I am betting the Drapers paired off - girls together and boys together)
Good luck Draper Kittehs! Enjoy your new home. Miss Bean, you are so good to the little ones.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww!
ReplyDeleteMillie was my favourite - her forever owners are very lucky people!
ReplyDeleteBye bye kitties!
A sad but very happy day. We hope they are very happy in the their noo forever home.
