Yes, Rosalita and the crew of nine are still chillin' at Foster Camp. The rescue is experiencing a backup at its main facility due to kitten overload, so I'll probably have these guys a while longer.
"Laydee, I'm booorrrrred"
I've been rotating toys in and out of the room, to keep everybody engaged.
Crickets are always a big hit:
And kittens sure are good at getting into mischief.
"Hey guys, the food truck is here!"
And mama Rosa will just be glad when the nursing is over.
I am taking most of the gang to an adoption event tomorrow, although since this rescue doesn't do same-day adoptions (which is a GOOD thing; "impulse" adoptions almost never work out), everybody will be coming back home with me.
That's okay; I'm enjoying the company of this cute and crazy crew.

My Zoey cat loves her Yellow raincoat chase the tail toy. Sometimes I spray it with a little catnip spray and she is in love.
I personally think you should look at the pictures of the kitties playing in the boxes and finish this sentence: "I buy actual toys for the cats because.............."
I would have a real problem at the adoption events, even though adoption IS the goal. Couldn't stand OTHER PEOPLE putting their mitts on MY kitties that I raised. But.....here's a promotion angle.........."Back-2-School Kittens"!!!!
fmcetc., spraying catnip on the toy is a great idea! I love it!
and Ginny, yeah, sometimes I wonder about the whole "buying toys" thing ... ha.
And I like the idea of a back-to-school adoption event! Now if we could just get the local schools to put "kittens" on the supply lists they hand out ... :)
cat food boxes really are pretty awesome :)
So what do you do with the crickets? do you let them out? do you leave them in the bag then do something else with them?
Tails, yep, I let them out. The kittens chase them until the crickets manage to scamper under something where they can't reach.
I've never had a problem with the crickets, like, overpopulating the house or anything - I guess the crickets bred for reptile feeding aren't as hardy as crickets in the wild.
