Hope you are ready for getting your Friday smiles going! First up is my “former foster kitten” Arwen. I think she totally knows how to strut that catwalk, don’t you? Ya don’t have to be a purebred kitty to know how to do the head tilt and paw forward at the same time!1
And our Katie came up with one that is sure to delight all of you!
Eowyn will clearly do anything when there is food or a treat involved.
Sage and I are closely monitoring how Eowyn tries to introod onto our master bed spaces. She is not gonna like it when I teach her just where she belongs on MY bed—just sayin’.
Oh my cat! Do I have breaking news for you all!! I think my first introduction of our foster kittens, Arwen and Frodo was like December?? We have had them with us since late August 2021. They and their mom cat, our adopted Eowyn, Court Jester, were all dumped at a local waterfront park where our Delta View Cats feeds a colony of 12 abandoned community cats. The kittens were about 4 months old. Here are some videos of them at the point where our Delta View Cats feeders discovered them! FYI—Arwen looks like she has something wrong with her eye, but it turned out to just be a speck of dirt and her eyes are both fine!
Did you hear little Arwen’s teeny mew? They were so small. I know you can’t see Frodo, the orange boy too well, but you get the picture, right?
These cutie pies have been fostered in my castle for over four months, since August 26, 2021. Little Arwen has a little bobble in her head, especially when she is trying to keep track of wand toys. She also has short infrequent asthma episodes when she is overly excited, anxious or plays too hard. But she is a tomboy girl all the way! She may be smaller than her brother, Frodo, but Arwen gives him a run for his money when they play! Frodo is becoming a love bug! He likes a nice lap and ear scritches. They both give nose kisses too. Because they are very emotionally bonded, we could not adopt them separately so it has taken a long time to help their permanent family find them.
But Saturday, January 15, their new humans found them at last! Miss Alicia saw them on Adopt a Pet and traveled from her home in another city to the adoption event Mom L and Dad P have been taking them to every Saturday and Sunday since October, 2021.
ARWEN AND FRODO ARE ADOPTED!!
APAWS!! APAWS!!
They are going to a new human Mom and Dad and they also get to have a little eleven year old human to play with as well! Mom L and Dad P had leaky eyes of joy and sadness. They knew we could not keep them and yet their love, patience and long foster care brought them into a close bond with the two kittens. They are about eight to nine months old now. Arwen is still needing to put on more weight but Frodo is just fine as he is! What a chow hound Frodo is!! LOL!!!

ARWEN
And here they are together! They were so little and then they could no longer comfortably fit the top of their tower!!
And, Delta View Cats, our nonprofit community cat group that Mom L and Dad P and I founded, had an even more amazing weekend! We pulled a colony cat off the street where his feeder, Miss Kandi, serves him because he had an abscess on his front paw. Turns out that Mango, who is only about eighteen months old, is a great ole big sweetie love bug and lap cat!!! Mango was not at adoptions this past weekend, but a couple showed up last Sunday and wanted to see him. Long story short, they visited him here at my castle and they took him home yesterday too!!!
MANGO IS ADOPTED TOO!!
Miss Kandi has cared for Mango since he arrived at one of her small colonies as only a nine month old kitten. She and Mom L and Dad P shared some leaky eyes but we all know that Mango is going to his best home ever!!!
Fostering adult cats and kittens is not for the feint of heart, let me tell you! It is so sweet when they are adopted, but losing their presence in our home is bittersweet. Even Katie missed having our foster guests! Hope my blog post was worth waiting for today. I am late ‘cuz Mom L was still sniffling last night and couldn’t see to type.
I have a quick and dirty aka “Mom L didn’t have time” couple of memes for your Friday Smiles. First up is my new Court Jester, Eowyn.
Next up I have a pawsome part Maine Coon cat that was rescued last year by a caring elderly couple. They kept Mr Cat until his severe heart condition forced him to travel to The Bridge. He knew love, caring and a warm home. APAWS for all kitty rescue peeps!!
Thank all of my followers who continue to join me in Pawing It Forward to help save the lives of so many abandoned community cats that our humans just treat as “throw away” trash.
Yes, my castle residents are having some dark times right now. That, totally, influenced my post. Thankfully I, and my castle family, all have a safe, warm and caring home. I can only wish that for every cat that humans toss away without any thought. Sigh—we miss you Miss Betty White! Please do remember to donate to your favorite rescue in honor of Miss White on her 100th birthday January 17!
