We still have 2 boys left there, but we have high hopes for them. Mother Adams/Quincy-Adams will move in next weekend. I can't wait to take some pictures of her and show you all what she looks like!<br /><br />I lucked out with the kittens. Willie Rae likes to lightly tap the bottom branches, but doesn't go inside the tree (and the ornaments are all where I left them!)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770791685503482106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920101949387852618.post-79667679600741319232012-12-10T21:34:01.104-05:002012-12-10T21:34:01.104-05:00I'm certainly glad that there are no kittens r...I'm certainly glad that there are no kittens riding the top of my Christmas tree this year.

I had already told my husband that I couldn't leave him there to linger. The brat whined "Mama" at me every time I walked into the store. He would have had a home for Christmas regardless, but my alpha Simba is happy that it's somewhere else.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770791685503482106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920101949387852618.post-89022150774202564892012-12-10T21:26:38.266-05:002012-12-10T21:26:38.266-05:00Every adoption is exciting, but when the older one...Every adoption is exciting, but when the older ones go it's even more special. I fight to hold back tears every time. <br /><br />The rescue has three older ones left to find homes before Christmas (along with the kittens... and we're sure they're going very soon). Wouldn't it be something if we were out of kitties for the holiday?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770791685503482106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920101949387852618.post-46072340992037935552012-12-10T21:24:50.307-05:002012-12-10T21:24:50.307-05:00Comet is a natural comedian.

So glad especially for Henry :) (who knew he was Jewish lol)<br /><br />Glad your Christmas tree is still intact. Ours got up (fake tree) but the lights and ornaments are yet to be done.

I have to say, I am so impressed with the way you have taken to fostering. If I had to do all the cleaning and laundering that you've had to do--not to mention all the medicating--I'd have given up in the first week!<br /><br />But wow, what an amazing weekend. I was breathless by the time I got to the end of your report. What a great Christmas present for you and all the kitties. I'm sure it was bittersweet saying goodbye, especially to the older kitties that have been a part of your life for months. But what a wonderful moment too, to be sending them off to their new and loving families. Well done!Charlenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920101949387852618.post-66020056853761005442012-12-10T14:24:48.938-05:002012-12-10T14:24:48.938-05:00I'm so happy for Henry and Mother Jefferson, w...I'm so happy for Henry and Mother Jefferson, who I'm guessing will be getting a new name...
