I'm going to be a foster meowmy. Sophia and now Kim

[cassiesmom]

Awesome. Success. She is eating the Canidae dry food. The TLC is working!. She also ate some ham deli meat. I took a slice to the back room and starting munching. She was already in my arms and she was interested, but polite. I love this. I gave her some nibbles. She ate three nibbles worth with some gusto. And was making biscuits with claws extended. Nope, didn't really hurt.

I haven't started on the room, but I will tonight. She definitely wants out of the crate.

Need a PM smiley here. This will do:

Good girl, Kim! Your foster meowmy will serve you nutritious, yummy noms and, occasionally, a delicious treat. I hope you will eat LOTS! So you can get rid of the feeding tube. I'm glad you are interested and making biscuits!

[mrspunkysmom]

I am officially in love with Kim. If I lived near you, I would so be ready to adopt her, plenty of pets and hugs and lap time at this house. I am looking for a mature female Siamese kitty, so Kim caught my eye. Give Sophia and Kim plenty of loves from me.

ahhhh, no Siamese rescues in the area? If I can clear her for eating and temperament, she goes to NJ, but after today, I don't think that's happening anytime soon.

Good luck with your search.

Well, that didn't happen this evening, so she got fed through the syringe.

I was busy for most of the day. She got a small syringe feeding this morning, but she wouldn't touch the turkey deli meat. I had to get my license renewed (yes, it was late), and then back home for some serious cleaning of that back room. Zoey was here for 8 hours, two of which we ate or goofed off. Both back rooms look a lot better and I have to go through some stuff, but other stuff is gone.

Kim is now in that back room, out of the crate, with a heater, several beds, a cat tree, and she is inconsolable. I thought at first that she liked the other room. I made Several trips back and forth holding her. She really just missed me and lost her faith.

Back to her new digs: She may have had low blood sugar, so I fed her through the tube, and after a while she was better. I placed her on the new tree and help her there while I slowly pushed the food through the syringe. Then I just held her. And petted her. She finally calmed down and purred away.

Spunky ws trying to get in, and that did not help her temperament.

When the oil radiating heater started gurgling, she took note. I even left her my t-shirt I was wearing as a woobie. I'ts okay, it's hot pink and it clashes with my new hair color. (I like it, but do not ask. It is a long story.)

In short, Kim will be a lot of work. She has lost her self-confidence. She needs frequent check-ins with lots of love. It's a good thing my schedule is flexible this year.

Purrayers and Pawsitive wishes needed.

Good Luck and MEEEOWS From the Found Hotel Cats and Angels

Anne, you are such a healing presence to this girl! Poor Kim, all those abandonment frights! Once she knows you will always show up, I hope she will relax.

[Karen]

So glad she is gaining confidence, it will go back and forth for a while, so it is good you are patient with her!

Tuesday the 7th:

Not sure what she wants today. I gave her some cat food, and then some tuna. She found a cubby in the bottom of the closet. Held her for a bit. It seems to take some time and deliberate actions to calm her down so she will rest in your arms.

Monday the 6th: Continued success. She ate more albacore! I put out some Fussy Cat tuna and chicken in aspic not long ago. Let's hope for good news.

I believe she is acting totally Siamese. That sweet kitty from Friday night was probably sick, scare, tired, etc. She loves my feet, rolling on the floor, sleeping in my arms, head rubs, and she talks all the time. ALL of the TIME.

Talks even when eating. Nom Nom Nom, etc. She is so funny. She makes me appear terse.

Get ready to get an earful every day. How long have you been looking?

Get ready to get an earful every day. How long have you been looking?

I'm not seriously looking until Christmas time. I'm in the middle of starting my own business and it is starting to take off. This means I don't have as much free time so introducing a new kitty to Kimba would be stressful. He doesn't like other males, so I am looking for a female, I love the kitty girls! As far as getting an earful, I hope so. My RB Ming was a beautiful Siamese boy and I miss having one of them delightful critters around the house.

Good girl, Kim, you ate some albacore! Hurray! Did you try your dry food again today? This is the best news I've had all day!

[phesina]

What wonderful news, dearest Kimmy girl!

[sallyandsnowx]

Oh, I love Siamese kitties; she is so beautiful with those eyes. It's great news she is eating and getting comfortable in her environment. Can't wait to hear more about her!
