Today was a day filled with kittens, so it was a good day.
Melissa and I started in Kitten Iso, cleaning cages and taking care of the seven kittens there. It takes a while for us to do this room because these kittens don't get as much attention. My favorite kittens there right now are Moonlight and Adiemus, who are both adorable and lovable.
After that we moved to the Kitten Room, where there are currently nine kittens. Normally one would start in the Kitten Room because the kittens there have been cleared and are healthy enough to be adopted, but today we didn't. We cleaned all the cages, which meant I got to hold up to two of the kittens. My favorites are two orange tabby kittens, which I've named for myself, but the shelter calls them Hazel and Florence. My other favorite is a orange tabby tom who was on hold to be adopted that day named Asher, and to create more space since all of the kittens in the back were moving up, we decided to put Asher's siblings in with him. They were separated into twos after their surgery, but since they were from the same litter it was okay to combine them again. Unfortunately, the kittens didn't get along like we thought they would and we had to move Asher to another cage all by himself.
Melissa and I then set up the empty cages for the new kittens and began the process of transporting them. We started with Adiemus and Moonlight, and they didn't like their new living arrangements very much, but we tried to comfort them as best we could. Then we transported the next three kittens, and they were much more angry being held than the first two. The last two kittens were an easy move, as well, but after all that work Florence and Hazel managed to knock over their water bowl. This meant we had to clean their entire cage AGAIN, but it also meant I got to hold my favorite kittens again!
When all of that was done Melissa and I cleaned all of the cages in Kitten Iso, and then moved on to clean all of the cages in Recovery, as well. I felt like I needed a chisel to get off the mess in those cages, but somehow we managed.
This just sounds like the cutest thing ever so bring me a kitten! Lol. I'm glad to hear that you are having fun and really doing something that you love!
