Austin Pets Alive, the amazing shelter group that Elliot and Flint are part of, need volunteers!

D.I.Y. Cat Care

Contrary to popular belief taking care of your cat doesn't have to cost you and arm and a leg. With two extra cats in our house, this has come in handy!

Here are some of my favorite D.I.Y. ways to keep kitties happy and healthy WITHOUT wiping out your bank account.

Time for......CATNIP!

Both the boys are old enough now that catnip has become attractive to them.

Here's a great little video of how Elliot reacted. This is his first ever catnip experience!

He did this for fifteen minutes!

Photo update: X-Flint and Elliot!

So I have a whole bunch of cute pictures of the little boys that I want to share with everyone.
Eventually I'll get the hang of this blogging thing and update on the go.....ya know, WHEN the pictures get taken. 

Update: Elliot and X-Flint

Both kittens are now 2+ lbs!!

Hooray!

One of the health goals for foster kittens is to get them to a safe weight. Kittens are not able to be placed for adoption until they meet a number of criteria:

1. At least 8 weeks of age
2. Weaned onto solid food
3. At least 2 lbs
4. Healthy!
5. Spayed/Neutered

Once these goals have been met the kittens can be adopted by a loving family.

I am excited to say that both Elliot and X-Flint are now up for adoption!



They are scheduled for their neuter surgeries and will be able to go to a new home as soon as that is complete!
