It’s been a July to remember.
We learned that Kanye West is a blowfish, not a shark. We saw a movie in which a raccoon did the talking for a man who’s a tree. And we rode a rocket of changes with a raft of cats.
Really we did:
Arrived: Midge, Ken, Picadilly, Marcelline, Beemo, Cake, Theresa, Meatball, Papillon, Alex, Stew, Ribbolita, Salem, Tutti, Divya, Fatima, Mysha, Aisha, Kindle, Nook, Ethan, Jester, Lovely, Bones
Adopted: Beamer; Jester; Gonzo & Beemo (together); Persimmon; Betty & Peggy (together); Roger & Joanie (together); Azalea & Satomi (together); Mysha, Aisha & Fatima (together); Winona & Chipotle (together); Theresa, Ivy, Martha, Beaker, Lovely, Pecan, Marshall
Returned: Winona & Chipotle
Banished to Ringworm: Henrietta, Jack (still, alas and alack and arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh)
Cleared from Quarantine: Beamer, Claudette, Tansy, Picadilly, Papillon, Meatball, Theresa, Cake, Beemo, Marcelline, Midge, Ken
Promoted to Heaven: Nimbus, Ethan, Scooter, Jean Valjean, alumnae Levi, Rio and Ivy
Stuff We Learned: Our naming nincompoopery knows no bounds. We had a kitten named Beaker. We named a subsequent kitten Beamer. We then named a third kitten Beemo. Beaker. Beamer. Beemo. If someone names some poor innocent feline “Beano,” I’m starting a petition to the UN High Commissioner on War Crimes.
And that’s a July, kittens. August on with your soul full of shalom.

OK, my head is spinning! Were Winona and Chipotle adopted just to be returned right away?
Hi Auntie Karen!
If my momma remembers this right…the first adopter lady sadly crossed the human rainbow bridge and a real nice friend of hers came to Tabby’s Place and adopted Winona and Chipotle so they would always be together! That was pretty special don’t ya think? <3
Wow – a wildly busy July! Thank you for the update. Just wonderin’ – does Jack have any fur left?
It broke me when Nimbus and former T.P. cat Levi died.
Love these updates!
What happened with Ivy?
@Ayla — Ivy was adopted, seemingly healthy and bouncy, only to be overcome by pneumonia a few days later. Kittens are so fragile that they can become so sick so quickly. Needless to say, this was devastating for all involved. I’m grateful she was loved by so many in her short life…
