Creamsicle

Meet Creamsicle! Have you ever had a creamsicle ice cream? The kind that is vanilla ice cream covered in an orange popsicle? That's Creamsicle, he's white, orange, and sweet as can be! He is so endlessly full of energy that it's hard to keep him still enough for a photograph. He is always bounding about the room and wrestling with his litter mates. For the first few weeks Creamsicle was nervous about the wide wide world of my spare bedroom, but he grew bolder quickly! When he does hold still enough for you to pet him he instantly starts to purr. It's amazing. He really likes to be pet. He is excited to play with people and other cats. We have two adult fixed males who enjoy playing with the kittens and we frequently have people come by at weighing time to socialize them, and occasionally they bring their cats to play too!

Update June 9, 2014: The kittens have all been weaned and are ready to go home to their forever homes! Momma cat had mastitis so we had to transition them to solid food soaked in KMR (kitten milk replacer) two weeks ago. Thankfully they were already curious about and nibbling at momma's solid food, so it was an easy transition. Since they started eating solid food they have grown so quickly! They are full of energy and enjoy running down the halls and exploring up and down the stairs. If you would like to meet the kittens please send me a message and schedule a time. We are located in Daejeon, in the center of the country. For information about adoption check out ARK's page on adoption. http://www.animalrescuekorea.org/adoption-process

We weigh and monitor the health of all of the kittens daily. Last week they had their first trip to the vet, who pronounced them to be in good health. Last week they started self-weaning and began using the litter box. After a rough start (I lost a couple sweaters to the litter training process) everyone is fully litter box trained!

He was born on 2014-04-20, along with 4 other kittens. The mother, Daisy, was rescued in October, but unfortunately the rescuer had an un-neutered male, which after two months resulted in pregnancy. Before Daisy gave birth, the rescuer decided they couldn't care for her or the kittens any more and asked for a foster to take them. They've been with me since the day the kittens were born. They are currently up for adoption to new loving homes! The kittens will be ready to go home with their new families once they are 8-9 weeks old, starting around June 15.

I hope we can find their forever homes by the beginning of July, as I will be going to the USA for one month and haven't been able to arrange a sitter for 10 total cats (my two cats, two of my friend's cats, Daisy, and her five kittens!)
