Transport Happy Ending Photos (Hurray!) and a Little Bit of a Break

Tweet

This past weekend we had another wonderful transport going on! Lots of kitties went to their forever homes all over the place!

I didn't share as much throughout as normal, so I wanted to share the best part... the new forever home pictures!

Ariel and her new mom, Cutehead Amy S., in Indiana!

Chatter and her wonderful new mom, Ashlee, in Illinois!

Ringo and his lucky new mom, Alicia, in New York!

And last but not least... old lady Gwen and her amazing new forever mom, Cutehead Karen R., in Maryland!

Remember the story of old lady Gwen, the old cat who's elderly owner surrendered her to the shelter in such a sad way that we jumped into action to save her? She is now safe and sound and will be spoiled!

Gwen's is one of my favorite rescue stories ever. Ever ever ever.

And about that break...

There is nothing more fulfilling that helping these kitties. I love all the people and all the lives we save, and we'll keep doing it!

But for now I'm going to take just a little break. The Cute will be back next week! I just need to take a few days and relax and do a little bit of nothing.

Slow-Motion Epic Kitty Fight Scene!

Tweet

It's tabby versus tuxie in one of the most epic, entertaining, I'd say "cute" even, fight scenes, slowed down at just the right moments to make sure you catch all the exciting paw-by-paw action! High-flying, body-flinging, somersaulting fun!

Just one thing: That cat in the background... How can he sleep through all this excitement?!

Two Cats (and a Phantom) Tuesday: The Squeaky Mousie and Cat Trap Blankie

Tweet

Happy Two Cats and a Phantom Tuesday, Cuteheads! Today Pimp and Moo are "trapped" on the couch... and Phantom is making it so no one is ever going to get any sleep around here.

Have you all ever tried to trap your kitties somewhere? I bet you have!

Pimp and Moo love to sleep on the couch (and of course they are totally allowed), but I am just not a big fan of having to vacuum it every day just so I can sit on it. And so I designed this handy, never-fail cat trap.

Snug as to cats on a trap.

It's called a blanket.

I'm sure you've used this tactic before. Boxes also work very well for the same purpose. You put a box or a blanket down, and the cat will appear on it within minutes. Tada! It's like it was a trap. :)

Zzzzzzz...

And now here's the silly boy... Phantom loves to play! He is a crazy nut! He just had endless energy, and so I try to get stuff to keep him busy.

When I saw this squeaky mouse at the story, I just knew he'd love it. And so I bought it for him -- and now all I hear is squeak squeak squeak all the time.

But how could I care about that? Just look how happy it makes him!

Cute Kitten Ear Wiggles (and a Transport Need!)

Tweet

Synchronized Ear Wiggles is one sport this adorable bunch of tabbies would surely excel in!

When they belly up to the milk bar, they are so happy with their meal that their little ears just start dancing... all of them!


P.S. We have a transport this weekend and we just need TWO legs filled! Is anyone in or near these areas? Can you help? If so, please fill out our volunteer driver form! If not, please share with your friends in case they know someone!

There are 5 kittens heading home. Two carriers, so they fit in any car!

These are the legs we need:

SATURDAY, SEPT. 7
3:50pm - 5:30pm: Auburn, AL to Greenville, AL
5:45pm - 7:45pm: Greenville, AL to Mobile, AL

These four kittens (they are the Cheese Kittens, all named after cheeses!) need to get home. Mom is staying with the rescuer. Can you help drive them?

Can you help drive us for a couple hours Saturday, please?

Parrot Kitten Loves Shoulders

Tweet

Mac the kitten has discovered the most comfortable place to perch in the whole wide world... on his human sister's shoulder!

He can hang down her back and rest his paws and head over the front or lie across and onto her arm a little bit, whatever he likes! Plus, he has a great vantage point to see everything that's going on.


P.S. Pimp used to be a parrot kitty when he was a kitten! Where any of your cats?

Tiny Kitten Sleeping in a Pile of Fur

Tweet

A tiny tabby baby and his little pink nose and mouth snooze away, snuggly surrounded by a warm sea of his black cat mom's fur.

Looks like a good a place as any to spend a sleepy Sunday!


P.S. These are foster kitties saved by Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue, according to the video. Cate (the mom) was rescued very pregnant from the streets. This is a much better way to raise her babies!

Genie and Peter's Fabulous Adventure - It's Transport Saturday!

Tweet

It's another one of our favorite days! Today one little black fuzzball and one handsome tabby are heading to their forever homes! Both were saved from kill shelters, and both are going to live the lives every kitty dreams of!

Genie (who was Eugene up until a couple days ago when he went to get neutered and came back spayed, haha! Surprise!) is a spunky kitten who was saved from Miami Dade Animal Services. She was there with her two siblings, and the two of them got adopted... but Genie was left behind. I posted her sweet fuzzy picture on the Cute's Facebook page, and Cutehead Leigh G. immediately fell in love. We can't leave him there by himself, she said!

Eugene's shelter picture stole all our hearts!

And so we busted her out!

She's been hanging out with our wonderful rescue friend, Maribel M., in Miami and generally just running around her house like a crazy kitten -- and today she gets to hop in a car and head up through all of Florida to meet her mom in Pensacola!

Genie SAFE out of the shelter!

As we were planning her road trip, I noticed another group, Imagine Home, was looking for drivers in Florida for a cat named Peter. I took a look at his route, and it turns out he was going a lot of the same way as Genie... So I suggested that we pick Peter up along the way and team up so they could share a ride!

And now it wasn't just a Genie road trip... it is a Genie and Peter road trip!

Peter's sweet face. Of course he found a home!

Peter was also saved from a kill shelter up in Sanford, FL (near Orlando) by a rescue group called Aristocats. They got him out just in the nick of time and have been searching for a wonderful home for him. Luckily, one turned up! A woman named Kristie wanted to adopt him, but she was all the way in Tallahassee.

"Only Tallahassee?!" us transport people said. No worries! You give Peter a home, and we'll get him to you!

Peter lounging around waiting for his ride.

And so the caravan of Cuteheads started together!

Eight drivers will be taking turns on the road all day to get these two sweet kitties home. The trip will start around 7 a.m. from Miami and end probably around 10 p.m. (Eastern time) when Genie gets home.

If you want to follow along, I'll be tweeting as @YourDailyCute using the hashtag #GenieAndPeter and posting tons of updates on Your Daily Cute's Facebook page throughout the day!

Let's cheer these babies and all the wonderful, amazing drivers on today!

Want to help drive for future transports so we can save even more kitties? Volunteer to drive by filling out this form, please! Thank you!

Huge thanks to Maribel M. for rescuing, fostering and vetting Eugene, Leigh G. and her family for adopting him (she has adopted other Cute kitties!), Jennifer P. for rescuing Peter, Kristie W. for adopting Peter and Cuteheads Kd P, Vicki O., Stacey M, Diane L, Dusti M. and Jenny T. for helping drive them both home!

Super Extra Fierce Bunny Kick Attack!

Tweet

It's Tiger Lily versus Peter Pan in the Battle of the Bunny Kicks!

On the bottom side, wearing the white pants (Wait, they're both wearing white pants!)... OK, wearing the dark tabby stripes, Tiger Lily seems to have the upper paw, connecting more silly bunny kicks than Peter Pan.

But as things get rolling and the clock starts winding down, Peter Pan (also wearing white pants, but with ginger fur) really comes out kicking!

Who do you think won?


P.S. Tomorrow is National Feral Cat Day! You know how much I love feral kitties (especially my parking lot kitties!). It's a day started by Alley Cat Allies to promote humane care for feral cats. This is something I feel so strongly about, because all cats should be treated kindly and fairly and not enough people think of feral cats that way.

Let's help spread the word! I'll post more tomorrow. Just wanted to give everyone the heads' up so you can think of sharing, too!

Kittens' First Climb Up the Stairs

Tweet

Four brave kittens tackle the stairs for the first time ever! Three are pretty sure-pawed and make their way up like naturals (way to go, kitties!), but their tiny tuxie sibling isn't so sure...

Poor little thing can't quite muster up the courage. Slowly but surely, though, he makes his way up to his brothers and sisters cheering him on at the top! Yay, kitties!
