Catman still available for adoption

I checked the CCHS website today, and it appears that Catman is still available for adoption.  He is such a calm and cuddly big kitty, it is just a matter of time before someone notices him. 

We have not taken in a new foster yet.  But I am looking forward to having a new guest.  I'll let you know when someone comes.

Bacon Bacon

The most energy we have seen from Catman is in response to bacon.  That is the thing that gets him up and moving.  Although he did take notice when the door opened. I would expect him to get along well in a house that already has cats.  Even though he is a Tom and has yet to have that bit taken care of, he shows no interest at all in our 4 cats.  Our dog is another matter. 

He is still doing a bit of sneezing but seems to be mostly over his URI.  He'll be  heading back to CCHS on Monday.  I was supposed to take him back on Friday, but unfortunately my 1:00 appointment took far longer than I expected.

Molly (Trixie) Update

We recieved some nice news today that Molly (now known as Trixie) just graduated from her CCHS dog training classes.  They sent us along her graduation photo, and I thought some of you  might enjoy seeing it also.

Catman continues to do well.  We saw him at his most excited since arriving yesterday. Bacon is evidently a great favorite, because he actually opened his eyes wide, stood up, and came over to investigate.  This cat is not exactly a ball of fire.  Gorgeous, yes.  Affectionate, oh yes.  Energetic -- definitely not.  Anybody who is looking for a sleepy boy to curl up with in the evening, he is the cat for you.

Vacation is done, and Catman has come to visit

Well, my son and his wife have returned to Finland, and life has returned to its more familiar hectic pace.  So we have been able to make a spot available for Catman to hang out while he gets over a nasty cold (upper respiratory infection would be the technical term).

This has got to be one of the most relaxed cats -- EVER.  Takes his medication and never bats an eye.  We bring him out to visit for awhile, and he spends the entire time laying in the spot he is sat down -- purring if someone is nearby.  He loves to be rubbed under the chin and petted, but he is not pushy about it at all.

And he is huge.  15 lbs.

ON VACATION

Yes, we have been on vacation -- and will be for the next 2 weeks also. Which severely limits me on posting or fostering for awhile.  We are looking forward to being back with the animals though.

In the meantime there are many other foster families working with Champaign County Humane Society.  Animals are there and waiting for homes.  And our friends are working hard to find those  homes for them.

Yay! Floyd is going home!

Our funny goof ball Floyd  is headed to his forever home.  According to the CCHS website he has been adopted.  We know he will bring laughter, joy and genuine affection to his new family.  Yay for you, Floyd!!

Floyd still waiting for his home

Clay sent me a nice message today letting me know that Floyd is still waiting for his forever home -- and that he was able to appear on T.V. this week.  He seems REALLY subdued in the T.V. studio -- which is not too surprising since like Clay mentions in the video, Floyd is a little apprehensive about new experiences.  He did eventually get accustomed to going up and down our front steps while he was here, but he never was too crazy about it.  Since he was  here on heartworm treatment and left as soon as that was done, we didn't get to take him on any long walks, or expose hime to a whole lot.  He did get used to having us around though, and is definitely a people dog.

Enjoy Floyd's T.V.  spot below.
