Katya: Russian princess

The Russian Circus Troupe kittens have begun to find their homes. Katya discovered that she is really a princess!

NOTE FROM ADOPTER TO FOSTER COORDINATOR:
Hi T~

I just wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in my search for a kitten! This experience has been wonderful!

Even though I was sad to hear that Svetlana had already been adopted, we did adopt her sister, Katya, on Saturday! Katya is precious and seems to be loving her new home. She's getting brave and venturing out more and more throughout the house. She is just a doll and my daughter absolutely LOVES her!! She (my daughter) cried when we brought Katya home and now thinks it's all a dream. LOL! She's even kept Katya's name.

Foster moms were wonderful as well! They gave us some great information and tips on making Katya's transition less stressful! They definitely deserve some kudos!!

Please know that if I hear of anyone looking to adopt an animal, I will definitely refer them to Red Lake Rosie! You have an awesome bunch of dedicated people working there and I'm proud to have been given the chance to make a difference in Katya's life!

Thank you again and have a great day!

AND A NOTE TO FOSTER MOMS:
Yes, Katya is adjusting very well! She’s no longer that shy reserved kitten anymore. She doesn’t walk anywhere, she RUNS!! For as little as she is she sounds like a herd of elephants running up/down the stairs. When she’s tired, you pet her and she almost instantly goes to sleep. It’s like mesmerizing to her! LOL!

She is now freely roaming the whole entire house (as of Wednesday night). In fact we hadn’t even introduced her to the basement yet but found her sleeping on the heated floor in the basement bathroom on Wednesday night! She’s certainly not stupid! LOL!

She also LOVES LOVES LOVES her new mommy! As you can see from the pics, she is very comfortable with my daughter. When K goes outside to play, Katya runs around the house looking for her and follows her almost everywhere! She has also taken up with a White Tiger stuffed animal (it’s actually bigger than her!) She pounces on it, bites it and plays with it every day. It’s the funniest thing to watch!

She is a very good little girl and I’m pretty sure she loves her new home as well! She definitely keeps us laughing! I’ll keep you updated with more pics soon.

Hope all is well with you. Have a great weekend!

Presenting the Russian Circus Troupe!

Russian Circus Troupe?? Well, at least of three of the kittens look like the lovely Russian Blue breed and the circus describes their activities. There are four boys and two girls and this family photo includes all but Katya, the smallest and shyest girl. From left to right you have Dimitry, Sergei (the two fluffy medium hair kittens), Aleksei (the class clown), Svetlana (the spunky sister) and Andrei.


Check out the kittens in action in this video. It was their first day of freedom in this room full of toys. This group of Red Lake kittens was found with their mom at the dump. They were born around August 25, 2009

KATYAKatya is a lovely blue cream tabby with short hair. She is the smallest kitten and more reserved than her boisterous siblings, but also joins in the fun and likes some quiet lap time, too.

SVETLANASvetlana is a solid blue/grey kitten and the largest of the bunch. She has a determined expression on her face and holds her own with all her brothers.

SERGEISergei is a lovely blue cream tabby with medium fur and seems very aware of his good looks since he is always ready to pose for the camera.

DIMITRYDimitry is the other fluffy -- super fluffy -- kitten with beautiful dark gray medium lenth fur. He is the smallest boy, but doesn't look it.

ANDREIAndrei has the classic Russian Blue good looks with a solid grey short coat. He's an easy-going guy who loves life like the rest.

ALEKSEIAleksei is unquestionably the clown. It's hard to believe that he can be in so many places at the same time. His markings are special because he has the only white trim of the whole family -- a white spot on his throat, one on his heart, and a darling white bikini on his abdomen.

BLUES CLUESBLUES CLUES isn't related to the Russians, she was found all alone, but she is a member of this family now. She is about the same age and perhaps the largest of the group. She is a delightful brown tabby with tons of spunk and curiosity, who will surprise you with just how much she likes to cuddle and just how loud she can purr.

All the kittens are spayed/neutered, vetted and ready for adoption. If you can't adopt, but would consider fostering a pair of these kittens. Their current foster mom is rather overwhelmed -- Yup, that's me ;-)
