I finally took them into CCC on 7/8/05. They got a little sick & had to go back out to another foster home for a few weeks. When they came back, Maia, Jr. & DoubleStuff got adopted almost immediately. The 3 orange tabbies are still waiting for homes.
06/03/05: Very sad update:
Maia (mom) died this morning. She developed an infection but didn't even show signs of sickness until last night. By morning she was barely alive. She was unbelievably sweet and trusting and my plan was to keep her, so she will be deeply missed. Maia got the kittens to trust me as much as her & she hung in for the crucial first four weeks and gave them a great deal of strength, so they should be fine. I've named the little girl after her amazing mother and I might keep her.

Maia's name is permanent. The others, for now, are DoubleStuff & Tiger 1, 2 & 3. The only way I can tell them apart right now are the eye junk remnants. They all had a little eye junk problem, but it's clearing up quickly with this Terramycin Cindy (Cozy Cat) gave me. As for personalities, all 3 tigers are very loud & demand a lot of attention. All they ever want is to be handled (they miss Mom). Maia's the same, with just a little more friskiness. DoubleStuff is a little more shy, cautious & independent, but he still enjoys the same things.

These kittens will go to Cozy Cat Cottage on July 1st. If you're interested in one, send me an email and I'll "reserve" one for you. The Cozy Cat fee is $100 and that covers neutering, testing and all of their shots.
Maia, I knew you such a short time, yet you taught me so much. Thank you. I will love you forever.
