Ve Ching was not short on suitors, but for one reason or another, things were just not panning out. There were appointment cancelations, cold feet, and no-shows for meet and greets. FINALLY I got a very promising email from a gal named Megan, who had fallen in love with Ve Ching, and thought she might be a good fit for her family.
Megan came over for a visit yesterday with her children and sister too, and yep, perfect fit. Miss V was very curious about the kids, and enjoyed playing with them. Elliot, Megan's five year old son was sweet and gentle with V. You could tell he and his mother had at least a few conversations about how to handle and play a little kitten. He was so good with her.
Oh, and when Charlene entered the room he said "That's a whole lot of cat". No argument there.
Megan is a stay at home mom, so Miss Ve will have constant companionship. She'll also have the kids to keep her entertained.
So it took awhile for V's family to find their way to us, but I think it was worth the wait, and there was a reason why all those other folks weren't working out.
I got an email yesterday afternoon from Megan, and she said Miss V was doing great. She had exhausted herself exploring and playing. You'll be happy to know, Megan promises to send pictures.
We certainly enjoyed our time with Miss V, but so happy she found her perfect family.
Charlene enjoyed her too, but all that babysitting wore Miss Bean out, and I think she's ready to catch up on some napping.
Here are a few pictures, and a video too, of Miss B's last day with Miss V.
YAY for Miss V! I'm so glad to hear she found her family. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww....the video is precious.
ReplyDeleteOh, Miss V, your wait was worth it! I am delighted your new mom promises to send pictures in the future and a 5yr. old brother who more than likely will find fascinating things to build for you to knock down. What fun you'll bring to your new family.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear about kitten-friendly small children, and their awesome parents! Sounds like a great match all around.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if both Charlene and her mom might need a bit of a kitten hiatus after nonstop fundraising, kitty wrangling, etc., etc. We fans of all things ibkc can be most patient when asked.
ReplyDeleteOh, and if Miss V needs a sister, I know a bee-yoo-ti-ful (and demanding) orange gal named Lucy who is going to need a home soon :)
ReplyDeleteShe is really the cutest kitten. That whole batch was adorable. (well they all are!).
ReplyDeleteGood Bye Ve!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for Miss V on finding her forever home. We wish her a long and happy life with her new family. :-)
ReplyDeleteYay for Miss Ve! That portrait of Ve Ching and Charlene looking off to the right is so touching and romantic. Love it!!! It should be a poster :)
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear of Miss Ve, Megan and Elliot's great fortune in finding each other!
Congratulations to Megan and Elliot on their newest addition to the family! Thank you Laurie & Miss B on taking care of this precious litte girl until she found her forever home.
ReplyDeletev's a beauty. congrats to the new family. and i love seeing the bean in action!
ReplyDeleteso glad mrs v found a great home. that video is great!!
ReplyDeleteThat video is wonderful. I almost yelled, "Not her tail, Ve!", and the end where Charlene tried to bathe her into submission and ended up bathing her own feet".
ReplyDeletePerfect sendoff!
Wonderful story, pictures and video. KITTEH TUSSLE!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen licking turns into bunny kicks...
ReplyDeleteAnne, I actually DID yell, "Not her tail, Ve! -- don't do it!!" :) What a great video. For a big girl, Charlene is light on her feet. Maybe she's less George Foreman than I thought, and more Evander Holyfield. In either case, loved watching Charlene get "chased off" by Ve Ching. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMiss B is so gentle with Ve in the video, yet doesn't take any guff. You're a perfect big sister, Charlene!
ReplyDeleteI thought, "I shall leeeck you!!"
ReplyDelete"Charlene Butterbean: A Whole Lot Of Cat" should be a bumper sticker or something - how adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwww, Elliot sounds like a smart kid! Charlene IS a whole lot of cat!
ReplyDeleteYay for Ve's new home!
ReplyDeleteI love the video. Charlene has a truly impressive tail (Melly would have a field day with it!). Elliot's assessment of Charlene is spot on. :)
How can anyone resist Charlene's magnificent tail? I not a kitten and even I want to start batting the screen when she swishes it.
ReplyDeleteYay Miss Ve Ching has a forever home and it sounds like a really good one. Nothing like a home with constant attention for a wee kitten. Great to read that Elliot has been instructed on how to treat kittens with care. I love the comment "a whole lot of cat". Love the video of Miss B and Ve chasing and wrestling.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a awesome family for a lovely girl kitty! Ve is going to be just fine. I too am amazed at how so often things work out for the absolute best!
ReplyDeleteAnd Bean - that is one kitten-tempting floof tail you have. No wonder they are all hypnotized around you! Smoooches for another kitten family well raised!
well i supposed Miss Ve is exiting 'stage left' just in time. the video clearly shows that her kitten brains have fallen out and she is challenging the Bean to a throw down ( Ve being the throw-E) Nap well Beanie-Floof. the next group of babies is right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteGoodbye and good luck, sweet baby girl!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, and the video is hilarious. I could watch kitties play all day!
That Elliot is obviously a fine judge of catflesh. A whole lot of cat, indeed!
ReplyDeleteBoy, Ms. Butterbean loves to whip that tail around..."I double dog dare you!!!"
ReplyDeleteMeowy Hugs, Robin
Good luck little one! I hope you get a sister or brother to play with. Humans are great, but nothing is like playing with one of your own. Here's a tip for getting extra treats, stick close to the boy and be his friend. He'll feed you some of whatever's he's eating. :)
ReplyDeleteA whole lot of FLOOFY!
ReplyDelete@Anne B., Cynthia S., I, too, was (internally) yelling "Don't do it, Ve! Not the tail!"
"Elliot, Megan's five year old son was sweet and gentle with V. You could tell he and his mother had at least a few conversations about how to handle and play a little kitten. He was so good with her.
ReplyDeleteOh, and when Charlene entered the room he said "That's a whole lot of cat". No argument there."
I like this kid. :-)
