Carmela has been Adopted !

"I'm a tabby sprinkled with gold dust !"

Carmela is one of six feral kittens who were quite wild when they were found about a month ago in Metchosin.  Frankly, we were uncertain what to do with this lovely litter as they were borderline too old for domestication.  However, with long hours of work Carmela and her littermates have come a long way. 

Of this litter, Carmela is perhaps the cuddliest but she still is scared of sudden movement and open spaces. Carmela's second foster mom (we pass these kittens around to different foster homes regularly) says that she has developed into the most affectionate kitten who loves cuddles and will spend hours on your knee. At her most recent foster home, she obviously likes to be petted but is fearful of the new foster mom and will likely take a few days to warm up.

For Carmela and her littermates Jefferey, Randy Red, Louie, Connor and Florence, there is a lot of work still ahead, but all can be handled, love petting, purr a lot, play with other kittens, and enjoy the company of cats.  We have no doubt these kittens will make great domestic cats in the not too distance future, but patience is required. 

Update from foster home:

Carmela is now out of the pen all the time and scampering around the home with her brother Jeffrey.  She can be picked up and cuddled when in a small room.  She needs a little more time before going to a permanent home, but is very affectionate and making a lot of progress.  She is a gorgeous cat and looks like she was sprinkled with gold dust!

Update: Carmela is currently at Pets West in Broadmead. She would welcome some visitors, even if you don't intend to adopt her !

Update: Carmela is adopted.  She walked right up to a woman in Pets West and chose her as her new mom !
