Chanterelle – who is adoption pending! – has gone to another foster.
Look at that fabulous tail!
Chanterelle pie – my favorite!
Did I mention that she’s a cutie?
And the SWEETEST.
So she’ll go for her spay today, and then I assume she’ll head home soonish. She’ll have a kitty companion, and she’s going locally. I had hoped she’d be adoption pending quickly, so this is very good news!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The foster room, however, is NOT empty. I actually traded Chanterelle for…
The Dumpling Gang! They’re 2 months old and VERY cute.
Say hello to…
Pierogi, orange and white boy.
Wonton, buff and white boy.
Momos, calico girl.
Pierogi, Wonton and Momos are siblings, with a date of birth of February 26, 2026.
And then we have…
Khinkali, tortie and white girl.
Tortellini, gray and white girl.
Bao, seal point boy.
Khinkali, Tortellini and Bao are siblings, with a date of birth of February 22, 2026.
Their story is that they were born to two mothers (sisters? Maybe!) and were in a warehouse and about to get tossed on the street when Forgotten Felines agreed to take them. They’ve been with another foster since they were a few days old. One of the mothers is very feral and was spayed and released after the kittens were weaned. The other mother is friendly and still with the other foster.
These guys are a bit more than 2 months old, and scheduled for their spay/neuters on June 2nd. So they’re not here for a long time, but they’re here for a good time!

Wonton in mid hop, Pierogi (in the basket) and Bao playing slappy paws.
Wonton in mid hop again, Pierogi (in the basket) and Bao still playing slappy paws.
Bao was friendly right off the bat and greets me at the door; the others have been a bit more suspicious, but they’re coming around. I don’t imagine it’ll be too long before I have a lap full of kittens!

Magoo says “You again, lady?”
Milo and Khal have a cuddle (Khal’s like “I didn’t sign up for this.”)
Three of the four – Magoo in the left recliner, Khal in the bed on the floor between the two recliners, and Charlie on the little couch. (Milo was at my feet.)
I’d say that Milo and Magoo are settling in, but they’ve pretty much been settled in for a while now. They’re getting unsupervised time in the back yard now (though we both check on them very frequently) and it’s going well. I will hopefully get their adoption paperwork done this week!

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky/Threads) this weekend.
Rabbit rabbit rabbit. (Chanterelle) Wikipedia: “Rabbit rabbit rabbit” – a superstition in Britain & North America wherein a person says/repeats the words “rabbit”, “rabbits” and/or “white rabbits” aloud upon waking on the 1st day of a month, ensuring good luck for the rest of it.
🎉 Former foster Branwen (formerly Juniper) is 10 years old! Tamra reports that Branwen is “still very kitten-like. She loves her teaser toys.” Happy belated birthday Branwen! (Thanks, Tamra!)

Permanent resident Milo (who is former foster Rum) has a purrrr.
Milo says “Time to get yer dangle on!”
Chanterelle pie! (My favorite!)
Good night innernets. (Chanterelle)
Milo (formerly Rum) would like to know just where his sunshine is. It’s been dreary and rainy and overcast for dayyyys and he’s OVER it.
Chanterelle is not nearly as big as she looks, it’s all floof! She weighs just 7 1/2 pounds (3.40KG) and it’s the perfect weight for her.
It’s a Rumdangle (featuring Milo!) from the side, with added attitude. “You again, lady?”
Magoo (formerly Reverb) is all “Takin’ a nap here, lady.”
Chanterelle is all “Hi!” Doesn’t she have the most delightful multi-colored beans?
Good night innernets. (Magoo (formerly Reverb) and Milo (Rum))
Sunshine and a self-heating pad makes Milo happy.
Chanterelle’s such a CUTIE.

Neighborhood menace/freeloader Rocco has gained a personal escort for his stroll through the house every morning. I’m not sure he cares for it, but Milo (formerly Rum) is having a blast!
Milo presents: your daily Rumdangle.
Magoo shows off his whiskers and fangs, while Milo flees the interview.
Chanterelle just does NOT take a bad picture. (Also, she’s adoption pending!)
Good night innernets. 🙃
