Results tagged “Jiffy” from V2

Fun factoid of the day:  If you search for the phrase "GQ pose" on Google, my picture of Jiffy on Flickr current comes up as the third hit, and for at least one day last week, it was the #1 hit!

Jasper finally welcomed Jiffy into the fold with a good bath. This and a few other shots are now in the Jiffy & Pearl album.

Pearl, meanwhile, has been at the vet since Tuesday, afflicted with a nasty viral and bacterial infection and fever, but she's reportedly doing much better and could be discharged as early as tonight.

With a larger living space and an understanding cat (or at least a tolerant cat), the great Foster Cat adventure resumed this weekend after a bit of refresher training and a tour through the tragic world of the Isolation Room at the Seattle Animal Shelter.

Here is Pearl, found stray, abandoned and alone, in West Seattle. She was stuck in a cage by herself in the Cattery, looking for someone to teach her how to be social and friendly. During her time in the Cattery, she picked up a Kitty Cold, leaving her sneezy and ill. Some human attention and time away from the tiny cages was in order.

 

Jiffy, meanwhile, was found stray, abandoned and alone, in front of the Seattle Animal Shelter building in Interbay. He too needed socialization, and to gain some weight before he could be neutered and put up for adoption. Like Pearl, he was stuck alone in a cage, but in his case the cage was in a converted closet that was pressed into service as a make-shift kitten overflow room due to the prolific and productive nature of unfixed cats in warm climates.

Luckily, kittens are naturally apt to get along with other kittens, and having a playmate and sleeping partner makes everyone feel better, both physically and emotionally.
