We said our goodbyes to Louise and Ambrose on Saturday. I promise we'll have lots of updates on these two because our good friends, William and Iris, were the ones who adopted them.
Craig and William go WAAAAAAY back. In fact, when I first met Craig, he and William were roommates. That was nearly 17 years ago, and they were friends for years before that too.
William and Iris are good, kitty-loving folks. Just this past spring they said goodbye to Ziggy, their 20+ year old cat. After Ziggy's passing, William contacted me to say that they would be in the market for a pair of kitties soon. There was a hole in their lives, that needed to be filled. When the Anderson-Ericksons moved in, I invited William and Iris down to meet the litter.
Just like Erin and Erik who adopted Emory and Ferris, William and Iris wanted to be chosen by their kittens. That's exactly what happened. Louise chose Iris, and Ambrose chose William.
Funny thing is, because of his coat length, I think Ambrose wasn't really wasn't a contender. They preferred shorter haired cats, but Ambrose just weaseled his way into to their hearts, and won them over. No surprise there, he is a TOTAL charmer. Who can resist that floof and that sweet little face.
Now, we're down to just two kitties and it's so quiet around here! Charlene has been having a whole lot of fun playing with just Clement and Bernice. They have complete run of the house now, and have been having a great time exploring the upstairs and running up and down the steps.
I think Charlene was growing tired of having six rambunctious kittens running about. It can be too much for her at times, and I can see her patience wearing thin. Two is perfect. She can keep them in check, and keep them clean too.
Clement and Bernice leave Wednesday at 10:00 AM. I'll be down to the shelter by noon, in search of our next little kitty family. It's always exciting to see who's next!
I clean cat cages at the local PetCo for a local no-kill shelter and this morning, it was all kittens. Seven gorgeous, perfect, sweet little furring purries.
ReplyDeleteI know the goodbyes are hard, but I'm so glad that all of them are going to wonderful homes! Can't wait to see how these two grow up--just tell William and Iris to hide all vases, candlabras and curtains for a while (that Ambrose is BUSY!).
Congratulations to Louise, Iris, Ambrose, and William!
ReplyDeletePerfect...just perfect....to have the itty bitties choose. They know what they are doing. As proven once again in this case! So glad we will be getting updates as this lovely family grows together! Bye, sweeties! (wipes a tear, smiles)
ReplyDeleteThose two adventurers are going to have a great time together!
ReplyDeleteAdopting to friends is the bestest!! Happy, happy congratulations to beans and kittehs!
ReplyDeleteAnd tell Ms. Butterbean that her challenge was tooooo funny!
A lovely way to wind down a weekend! Bye bye sweet babies.
ReplyDeleteBye bye babies. Enjoy your new home and no swinging from the curtains your first week.
ReplyDeleteSo happy they're all going in pairs!
ReplyDeleteGoodbye Ambrose and Louise! Many happy curtain hanging and candelabra climbing times to you both!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy pairing! It's so great to read these posts. My kitty was just diagnosed with a tumor and probably won't live much longer. Seeing the pictures so full of life is helpful!
ReplyDeleteWell it looks as if Ambrose and Louise have found a wonderful forever home. Good luck little ones, be very happy. We look forward to updates.
ReplyDeleteDW, *hugs*, and virtual chin scritches to your kitty, too.
ReplyDeleteso happy that this litter is going in pairs. When i got my girls, i wanted two and i'll always take two cats now. They need each other so much.
ReplyDeleteLaurie, Craig and the Bean do such great work. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Thanks, AnnF! It's a very difficult time for us right now. Reading this blog and the comments always makes me smile, though.
