Ready for Homes!

We have wonderful news! Our beautiful black foster kitten, Eleven, found a home. He now shares a space with two other black kitties, Wednesday and Gypsy, and his person informs us that Wednesday has taken on the role of mom. His new name, which we're sure he'll live up to, is Sir Thatcher of the Compound. Hail, Sir Thatcher!

Meanwhile, Smudge and Owl, the two tabby kittens, are growing up and getting cuter and more playful every day! They both are fixed, up to date on shots, and available for adoption. We think they would make a great pair, because they love to play together and sleep snuggled up, but they can also be adopted individually.

Brotherly love! Smudge (left) and Owl.

These two cuties are being fostered for CARE Southcoast. To adopt Smudge and Owl, please visit CARE and fill out an adoption application. You can arrange a visit so you can meet and greet them in their foster home. Email mirishouse (at) gmail.com or call CARE with any questions.

Adorable little Owl! This polydactyl tabby loves to snuggle.

Sweet little Smudge! This beautiful marbled tabby wants to hold your hand.

In the Home Stretch

First to leave the nest!

Big changes are happening in Kitten Land. Our little family has gone from six kittens to four. Sandstone and Onyx, our two biggest boys, have gone to their forever home.

They've already got new names, too. Meet Dizzy and Miles ;-)

 

Onyx, AKA Miles Davis

 We're happy to report that they've made the transition well and are happily adjusting to their new home and loving their new person. We know that giving kittens a good start in life helps them grow up to be friendly, social cats, and we love knowing that they have a safe and loving home.

Sandstone, AKA Dizzy Gillespie

Next in line to be adopted will be Mama Opal and Galena, then Jasper and Mica, and last (but certainly not least) Sunstone. We'll be enjoying our last few weeks with them, even as we feel that bittersweet longing that we could keep them forever.

We are still always in need of donations for food, litter, and daily expenses. Your donation in any amount will be so appreciated! Thank you for supporting Miri's House.

Dos Hermanos

It's hard to believe the kittens are eleven weeks old today. It's funny to see how they alternate between testing their independence and still wanting snuggle time with Mama.

Now that Katniss (AKA Dumbledore) has been adopted, the two remaining boys have gotten closer. We just had to share some adorable shots of their brotherly bonding.

Meanwhile, Gale--whose new name is going to be Leo--had his first meet-and-greet with his soon-to-be adoptive family, both human and cat. Bee, his future cat sibling, did some hissing, but Leo kept his cool. He's definitely an outgoing little guy, and he's already made friends with resident cats  Ian and Duncan (although Molly is still holding out).

As for Peeta, he is not quite as bold, but he's incredibly sweet, the snuggliest of the kittens. If Peeta were in a high school yearbook, he'd be voted "Most likely to be a lap cat."
