Audrey's Foster Mom Chystal Needs YOUR Help!!

 

All of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde & our Feeders

are purring & praying that YOU (or somecat you know)

will be able to help Audrey's foster mom Chrystal!!

"Mom & dad & Jennifer & Corwyn fell in love with me from the first time they saw me on Chrystal's website!  (this proves how smart they are!)  It took some time for Da Boys to get used to me living here but mom was patient (and the Valerian helped!) and now I am bestest friends with everycat but stinky ole' Knives (well, I tolerate him if he doesn't get into my stuff or stare at me or mess with me or..

"This is me as a baby at my Foster Mom Chrystal's Cathouse!

I was called Sparkles then but now my name is

Lady Audrey Nova StarWatcher!  Don't I look cute!!"

"I worry about the number of cats & kittens who need

Forever Homes right now!  Please please please go see

the cats & kittens who need homes!  Trust us!  You can't go

wrong with one of her furfriends!  When it's time to adopt

again we're going back there for our new Horde member!!

Party ALL Weekend!! Happy FIRST Birthday AUDREY!!

 "Audrey's First Birthday Party!!  ALL Weekend!!"

"This is what I looked like when I was just a baaaaybeeeee."

 "We have greenies & catnip & food & bunches of other stuff to eat!"

 "This is one of the fun toys we have to play with!!"

 "Mom has TWO of these for us to jump in and out of

and of course they're great for naps too!!"

 "In addition to the kitty condo downstairs there are

other fun places to climb to practice being a Ninja Kitty!"

"As you can see, we have a lot of feeding stations

and we have TWO water fountains!!"

"This is  me, Lady Audrey Nova StarWatcher, one year old!!"

"We hope you will all come over and stay as long as you want partying with us!!  Of course, the Feeders have no say in the matter!!"

"Da Boys wish their Princess a Happy Purrday!!"

Blog the Change!! Daily Dose of Dogs (AKA Cats With Your Coffee)

For Blog the Change today we'd like to sing the praise of Our Hero Chrystal!!  She is a private rescuer.  She was our own Lady Audrey Nova StarWatcher neè Sparkles Foster Mom.  On her blog daily dose of dogs (aka cats with your coffee) you will find the heartwarming stories of the many many many cats and dogs that she has rescued, cared for and found new Forever Homes.  We adore her!!  That's one of the reasons we keep the story of Audrey on the left sidebar of our blog along with a link to Chrystal's blog.  Chrystal, her husband and her two daughters do all of this tremendous tremendous work out of their great love of animals.  They don't get paid for any of this!  Well, any green papers.  Just the love of the animals they take into their home and the donations of those of us who can afford it.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde and their Feeders don't have a lot of green papers.  But rather than ask you for some today or even ask you to buy anything from our store, we'd like you to go over to Chrystal's blog and please take a minute to donate to her private animal rescue!!  Even if it's just a few green papers.  Or ask her for her address so you can send some coupons!  When we went to meet her to pick up Audrey we didn't have any toys or foods or green papers to donate so we cut out all of the coupons we could to give her (especially the woofie stuff since we don't have any woofies).  Whatever you have.  Whatever you can spare.  And if you have the room in your heart and home to provide a Forever Home for one (or more!) of the furfriends currently living at Chrystal's home, trust us.  You will love them.  If you have the chance to meet Chrystal you will meet one of the most incredible people on earth.

Trust me.  I have been rescuing cats for over 30 years now as an adult and come from a family of rescuers.  She and her family are a blessing to every animal who come under their hands.  We feel blessed to know them and even more blessed to have Audrey in our lives.  Thank you Chrystal.  You are Our Hero!

Mom!! What Took You So Long?!... or I'M HOME!!

 "Hi!!  This is my foster mom delivering me, Sparkles,

to my Forever Family!!  I'm soooo excited!"

 "Mmmmmmm, my new mom's girl kitten

knows how to scritch properly!"

 "Wow!  Look how far we're going, but I am getting a bit hungry."

 "Daddy says I'm trouble and I'll have to get a job.

For some reason, I don't believe him."

 "Look!  Look!  Mom's boy kitten has food for me!!  I'm starving!!"

 "Waitaminute!!  This doesn't look like my old place!!

Oh my!!  This IS a Forever Home!!"

 "None of Da Boys hissed at me at all,

but of course I have to show them who's boss!!"

 "She'll let me be on the bed for a minute and in the room if I'm very very very quiet.  Oh, why did it take mom so long to post??  Because she had to find the transfer cable for the camera (which Someone Hid!) and help Jennifer & Corwyn & Corwyn's friend get ready for the Choir's Winter Formal."

 "Mom stopped on the way home to pick up yummy Greenies and there was a toy on sale for 99¢ so she got it for me!"

"Star looks Just Like ME!!  Okay, so he's a little bigger and

he has more white on him but still!!  I've decided that I kinda

like him.  As long as he doesn't get too close or stay around

too long or get too near my new mommy or anything like that.

Oh!  Oh!  And mom & dad & the Feeder kittens talked and talked

on the way home and consulted with me and we think that my

Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde name will be.....

Lady Nova StarWatcher

It's SPARKLES Day!!

 "I'm becoming a member of the

Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde today!!"

 

 "Okay mom, I've sent an email to Sparkles'

foster mom telling her where you'll meet her!"

 "I'll wait here until you get back and

put in pictures of our new sister!!"

 "Mister Kitten broke Star's Christmas toy so this is

the only one we have left but we'll share it with her!!"

 "Could you please hurry up mom?!

We want to see the newest member of the Horde!!"

Okay, new collar - check!

New tag... need to find engraver & steel tags.

Towel everyone has laid on - check!  Leash - check!

Metal pan for kitty litter - check!

Depending on how everyone reacts she'll either sleep in our room or Corwyn's room since Jennifer didn't get hers clean - check!

Now, we need to make Valerian tea.  I realized that I neglected to mention Valerian.  Some cats don't care for catnip but I have yet to meet a cat who doesn't like Valerian.  In fact, there is some speculation that Valerian is what was used by the Pied Piper of Hamlin since rats react the same way.  So we will be using Valerian tea to 'scent' all the cats.  Valerian also acts more like a tranquilizer rather than a 'cat crazies' like catnip does in so many cats so it is much more affective in situations like these.  HOWEVER, please do not use it internally without consulting your VET!!  We'll make another post today after Sparkles is home and we have pictures, pictures, pictures!!!  Once she has settled in her name may well change.

Only One More Day to Sparkles!!

 "Do you think Sparkles will like to run

up and down the hall with me?"

 "I was going to let her play with my Christmas

toy but Mister Kitten broked it!!"

 "This is how I will groom her.  It is very 

important to get the head and ears kept clean!!"

 "Is she here yet??  Tomorrow?  Okay.  What's that??  Noodle & Olive are sending us their old water fountain!  They never drank out of it but just used it for meditation.  We had a Catit® fountain but the pump died and mom can't find the old pump to be able to replace it.

Thank you Noodle & Olive!!!"

"We are already Tims and Sparkles is already a Princess.  It's important to spay and neuter.  It makes us all healthier and helps reduce the number of furfriends who need new homes!"

Hey Mom! Why Is There a Towel on the Bed??

 "Seriously, she does look just like you!"

 "Hmmmm, I guess you're right."

 "I wonder if she likes playing?  MOM!  We're gonna need more toys!!"

 "And don't forget to get another litterbox... oh, and get a new water fountain too!  What green papers??  We don't need no stinking green papers!!  Ooookay, just make sure you get her GREENIES!!!

(so we can snitch some)"

"We're all taking turns lounging on the towel mom slept with

last night so Sparkles will know what we smell like when

mom & dad go to pick her up on Saturday!!  We can't wait!!

We've been talking about it ever since mom gave us the news!!!"

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner! or Do We Still Have That Third Litter Box?

 "Is that Star??  No!!  It's our new sister!!"

 "I've been helping mom make arrangements

to pick her up on Saturday!"

 "Hey mom!  We can use one of these water bowls

for her food but you need to fix our fountain!"

 "Is she here yet??  Is she here yet??"

 "I think I'll nap until my 'twin' Sparkles

gets here to her new Forever Home!"

"Everycat & Feeder at our house is sooooo excited!!

We can hardly wait for Saturday!!"
