We have started a new adventure here at Catlandu and Doogies too, KITTENS! After many years of taking care of old ones we decided to add some new life to the mix.

Kittens here in Hawaii are too numerous to ignore. Their needs are great as are their appetites. What fun to help these little ones get love and food and more love…. and more food!

Watching them grow every day, with unbound curiosity and enegry has given us all much laughter and delight.

The only trouble is saying goodbye to each one when it is time for their forever home… I’m learning to share… except I have foster failed twice so far!

Floyd arrived at Catlandu with his sister, Petunia Blossom. They were left abandoned in the forest at just three weeks old. Covered in fleas and full of ringworm these two were a real challenge to bring back to health. Having never dealt with ringworm I was totally paranoid all the other critters here would be infected… so isolation and daily bathes, medicine and sterilization of their enclosure (for 21 days) was necessary. But day by day they improved and soon were glowing with health and happiness.

Needless to say I became totally attached to these two and have decided to adopt them into the clowder at Catlandu.

Obviously I can not keep everyone who we help… but I sure would like to!

Petunia Blossom (sister of Floyd) is now a very healthy, happy purr machine. These two had a rough start but that seems like a long time ago in kitten time. She is full of curiosity and plays non stop…until passing out from exhaustion. I understand how it’s really good to have two (at least) kittens to entertain each other! My heart is happy to have such young love running around the house.

PS: Nala and Maggie are totally in love with these kittens and are unbelievably gentle with them at the kittens jump all over them.

Love rules!
