Last night was the second adoption event for any of the four tigers and Milo got adopted, he’s be a little unwell but the woman adopter came specifically to adopt him. We told our sponsor at Merrimack Animal Rescue about him being sick and the adopter still was told, so off he goes. Barbara made it a point to explain the one month insurance benefit that the rescue organization affords adopters and I can only hope she uses it. Milo is a nice kitten, good looking and playful when he’s well. Even during this oncoming sickness he still played when he could.
We’ve been told the clues to real problems are when the animal stops eating and drinking. Milo has hung back when the other kittens are eating only to go and eat after they’ve pretty much finished. I sense he doesn’t want to be jostled and he hung back to accommodate him feeling unwell.
Snuggler, Paige and Marcus are all well. A little girl was holding onto Paige yesterday for dear life but her mother could not be persuaded to adopt lovely little Paige. Oh, Paige is the piggiest of the four tigers weighing in over three pounds. Still, a beautiful kitten.
Update on MrH – Mark brought him in yesterday to adoptions and he has grown as expected. He’s now a real armful, beautiful but still just tucks himself away in the cage as if trying to hide. I held him for a while and he didn’t seem to mind. In the cage wass MrH’s friend Billy Bob a somewhat larger black kitten. The two of them seem to get along just fine. Here’s hoping that MrH gets adopted soon too.
