Kitten update: 6 week photos

[justginger]

Our babies have grown very quickly and we are currently "interviewing" families for their adoptions. Obviously Jasper is a hot commodity - I was intially going to keep him myself, however his personality just isn''t exactly what I''m wanting. He''s lovely, but not affectionate enough for me.

Romeo is definitely adopted, Jasper has 3 families fighting tooth and nail for him, Georgia has one interested individual, Blossom has two families coming to have a look at her, and no one wants Amelia yet. Ironic, as I consider her personality to be the pick of the litter (she got her name because she''s an adventurer and pioneer - first born, first to open her eyes, first to use the litterbox, first to eat solid food, etc). I think they''ll all end up somewhere nice...and I''m quite happy to keep them until they find the right homes!

In the photo, left to right, it''s Georgia (sweet as a Georgia peach!), Romeo (the lover of the group), Blossom in back, Amelia in front, and Jasper.

OMG, my heart is melting with cuteness. It reminds me of when we bought our babies home.

People just love Siamese mixes. Sounds like you are vetting quite carefully. Warms my heart.

 

[Ara Ann]

Hi babies!!!

I''d take all of them... but I already have 4 turds myself.

When are you adopting them out? I hope you wait a few more weeks...

OMG pittens! I love them all! I can''t believe no one as requested Georgia. Her markings are soooo awesome!

 

[HopeDream]

WANT!!!!!! (especialy blossom)

Note on calico/ tortoiseshell coloring:

As you know, female mammals have 2 X chromesomes - one from the mother's side and one from the father's side. In each cell one X turns on and the other stays mostly silent in the background. As a result female mammals are an interesting patchwork of two different Xs. This is especialy apparent in calico and tortoiseshell cats, as the distinct orange patches are from one chromesome and the black patches are from the other chromesome.

Neat eh?

How cute!!! They have gotten sooo big!!! I"m so happy for you that you''re able to find them a good home!

 

[yssie]

I''m sure Amelia will find a home soon, too - who can resist that?

They are all soooo cute! I love Amelia and Blossom especially! And Georgia's markings are so pretty. She looks like her mama!

 

[oddoneout]

They''re all cute. If it were me it would be so hard to let them go (even to good families) because I''d love them all and want to keep them.

 

[packrat]

Boy they''ve grown!! Just as adorable as ever too!

 

[justginger]

Yes, Swedish bean, will still be a few more weeks til they go to their new homes. They''ll be rehomed at 10 weeks, which is the week before Christmas. Australians get LOTS of time off work over the holidays, so it''s the perfect time to introduce them to their new families. I''d like to keep them til 12 weeks, but realistically, with the influx of homeless kittens to our rescue group, it''s negligent for me to keep kittens from good homes and make the other foster families keep them by the dozens while I max out my time wtih these bubs.

I love Georgia''s markings as well. She''s a special little girl - had a bit of an accident with the couch and might be a bit "special" now. She''s just a bit "off" - depth perception, balance, etc. She''s healthy though, not sure whether she just got a bit of a bump on the head or what. Anyway, she''s a bit of space cadet now, but I adore her.

I really love the black spot that she has over her eye, just like Hera.

They''re so cute! Adorable! I''m glad you''re finding good homes for the kitties to go to.

Aw..poor Georgia..we had a couple special kitties when we were little. Good kitties and really lovey..just not "there".
