Update on Charlotte & kittens, pt.1

Over two years ago, I took in a pregnant mom cat, Charlotte, from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue who soon had four kittens, Amelia, Daren, Samantha & Serena. See my first post from September 2010 when I started looking for homes for them.

UPDATE FROM ADOPTERS OF DAREN & SAMANTHA (NOW SHADOW & SOPHIE):
We just LOVE Sophie and Shadow! They are characters. Shadow (grey color) is so much like a toddler. He is into everything, but not for long, he has a short attention span. He is a goofy kitty, and meows with his own language. We think he is talking to us. But he is also a very sweet boy.

DAREN/SHADOW:Sophie (multi color) is certainly a princess and likes to be treated as such - and we or should I say "I" accommodate. She likes nothing better than to sit on my lap or sleep nestled into my head and neck at night. She is not as curious as Shadow and will usually let him get into trouble first, then if the coast is clear she will follow - that's my girl.

SAMANTHA/SOPHIE:We are very happy with our furry family members. Thank you again for rescuing them and letting us adopt them.

UPDATE FROM ADOPTERS OF SERENA/TOOTSIE:
Finally here are a few pictures of Tootsie.

We adore her so much. She is very active and loves attention. She is very inquisitive, and loves to get inside of things. She gets along with our dog Lucky.

Tootsie is great at waking me up and loves being inside whatever she can fit in.

Tomorrow I'll share an update on Charlotte and Amelia...

Brother & Sister together forever

Here is an update on two of my former foster kitties from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. I called them Samantha & Daren, but they are happily Sophie & Shadow in their new home.

SOPHIE & SHADOWSophie (Samantha) and Shadow (Daren) are wonderful!. They sure are fun to have around. They are really good kitties and love their surroundings. We love them so much and can't imagine life without them. They do keep us busy and are always entertaining us.

SHADOW & SOPHIEShadow loves the spring weather. He sits by the window at about 5:30 every morning waiting for the sun to come up so he can start watching the birds. We put a bird feeder right out side the one big window so he has lots to watch. Shadow is definitely the more energetic one of the the two. He can't sit still for very long unless he is laying on hid back by the fireplace. But he does love to be petted and showed affection.

SOPHIE & SHADOWSophie is still a little diva. She is a mama's girl. She would like nothing better than to be held by me or lay in my lap all night long. She likes to let Shadow "investigate" things, then if he does not get in trouble or hurt, then she will join him. I think that shows she is a smart girl.

DAREN/SHADOWBoth kitties are big. I would estimate they are about 9+ lbs. They were 8 lbs in December when we took them to the vet for a check up. Sophie looks big because of all her fur, but I think Shadow weighs more. He is long and lean.

SAMANTHA/SOPHIEI have attached some pictures. Sophie seems to like to close her eyes in pictures. She must do that a lot because she is always running into things.

SOPHIE'S BELLYA little about the pictures. The one of Sophie all stretched out on my lap - that is her usual position. I have to hold on to her because she relaxes so much she is lit a wet noodle. The picture by the window shows what the two of them like to do every day now. Lots happening out the window!

Thanks for the wonderful kitties. We love them very much and are so lucky to have them. I sure wish Charlotte and Amelia would be adopted!

AMELIATheir mom Charlotte and sister Amelia are also great and still available for adoption! Click on their names to get more information from the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue website (www.redlakerosie.org).

CHARLOTTE

Bewitched bunch ready for the world!

This mom cat from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and two of her kittens are still waiting for homes. The two kittens from the family that are already in a home together are getting rave reviews! Don't wait to meet these great cats!!

CHARLOTTE (MOM CAT)Charlotte is a short-haired blue-grey tuxedo cat. She is mild-mannered and LOVES people. With cats, she likes to be the boss, so she would be happy in a home as an only cat or perhaps with a dog.

AMELIAAmelia was named for her independent, adventurous spirit, but she just LOVES laptime; she also loves another kitty to play with and cuddle with and her sister Serena is her darker twin. Amelia is a dilute tortie (grey/cream) and Serena is a regular tortie with black and orange. They are both long and sleek with pointy faces like Oriental cats.

SERENASerena is a little quieter and shyer than her siblings or her mom, but that seems to be typical of dark torties. She also loves laptime but will startle more easily and relies on Amelia for confidence.

Here is an update on the siblings that were adopted before Christmas:

SOPHIE & SHADOWWe wanted to update you on Sophie and Shadow (Samantha/Darin) - they are are doing wonderfully. They have really adjusted to their new home. They are still shy of new sounds and sights, but are settling in very nicely.

SHADOW (fka DAREN)Shadow is a very high energy kitty and would go non-stop if he could - we wonder if his batteries will ever wear out! He runs through the house chasing his toys. Whoever thought a little kitten could sound like a herd of cattle, but we love it. He also loves to pick on his sister - a little bit of a bully, but in the end they still get along great.

SOPHIE (fka SAMANTHA)Sophie is more laid back and likes to observe a bit before participating but she has a mischievous side too. She may not be the instigator but will join in on the fun. Sophie will be the cuddly one of the two. You can tell that she needs to be treated like the Diva she is. She knows her cute looks will go along way!

SHADOW & SOPHIE TUG OF WARWe love the added excitement they both bring to the house. Both kitties have great personalities and we are constantly entertained by them. On a side note - the Christmas tree is still standing, but I will be happy when we can take it down and the temptation is out of the house! Sophie had tree sap stuck to her fur already.

Thanks again for the wonderful kitties.

RLRR at Rogers' community event

I joined Dino representing Red Lake Rosie's Rescue this year at the annual Fire Department Open House in Rogers, MN. The weather was beautiful and there was a great turnout. Dino's four dogs from Red Lake and my four foster kittens were a big hit.

TWO BIG DOGSTWO LITTLE DOGSThe kittens were playful at times, sleeping when I took their picture and they enjoyed all the attention they got especially from the kids.
FOUR KITTENSAmelia, Serena, Samantha, Daren and their mom, Charlotte, are all available now for adoption on our website: www.redlakerosie.org

Looking for purrfect homes

I took in a cat from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue with a belly full of kittens, ticks in her coat, and a BB in her butt. Well, the ticks were removed right away and she gave birth to the kittens just a couple of days after arriving at my house. The vets removed the BB when they did her spay surgery. She is anxious for her fur to grow back, but even more anxious to find a new home.

CHARLOTTEI named her Charlotte after my favorite cousin. She is a lovely young gray tuxedo with sort of a sweet old-fashioned attitude. I think this was her first and last batch of kittens. She was a wonderful mom, but she did seem a bit dismayed and overwhelmed when they were first born.

CHARLOTTEShe has four beautiful kittens -- three girls and one boy. All are ready for new homes, fully vetted and spayed or neutered. They all have wonderful calm personalities and respond well to respectful children.

AMELIAAmelia is the smallest by a little bit, but she has always been the most adventurous. She is a dilute tortie (gray and tan) and I love the freckled look of her face.

SERENASerena is standard tortie (black and orange). She and Amelia are best buds and they are generally playing or sleeping together. What a darling pair! She is a little shy about new things, so going to a home with a sibling or mom would be great for her.

SERENA & AMELIASAMANTHASamantha is the princess. A dilute calico with medium length fur and a funny clown face. She is as laid back as a rag-doll cat. Happy most of the time to lay around and be decorative.

DARENDaren is the only boy. He is in a growth spurt now. I call him my little bear with his cute face and gray tabby fur. He hides a perfect white bikini on his abdomen that I love. Don't let his serious face fool you, he is a lover and Samantha definitely has a crush on him.

DAREN & SAMANTHAYou can see more photos and read more about these kitties on our website. Fill out and submit an adoption application if you would be interested in meeting them in their foster home in Minneapolis.
