And then there were two

Inigo was adopted last week at the Henrico Humane Society adoption stand. Hooray!

I brought Westley and Buttercup home and they have been released from the cage and are spending time in the general population now. I figure it's only fair to them. They have really gotten used to us and the other cats, and they should be able to run around and get exercise.

It's been equally wonderful that they are opening up even more now that they can be a little footloose. Westley likes to come up and sleep on the bed with us at night and both of they are absolute purr machines. Westley also never misses an opportunity to snuggle and make biscuits on one of us. Such a lover!

On another wonderful note, we are buying a beautiful new house that has a 3.25 acre lot. We'll be having the safety inspection next week and I plan to do some measuring in the back yard to see how much cat fencing I need for the outdoor cats.

I'm also looking into the possibilities for a shed as shelter for them. I think I'll end up finding someone to build one for us, as that will probably be way less expensive than buying one outright. Definitely doing a little pricing.

All in all, very exciting times ahead. :)

The kittens



Here is shy Inigo. I had to keep my hand on her to keep her from running and hiding!











Here is darling Buttercup.














Last but not least, handsome Westley.












Yesterday our little trio got spayed/neutered and the final round of shots given.
There is no adoption stand this weekend because of the holiday, so they will have to wait until next weekend.

Hopefully they will have good luck despite the overwhelming number of kittens currently up for adoption.
