We're having a "Coffee and Kittens" tomorrow. This used to be a regular feature around here on Sundays. People would mostly come by to have good coffee, and subject the feral kittens to lots of holding and petting, to tame them.
(update, 11:00 pm. Cookies are all baked. Mmmmmmmm...house smells good. Thank you Mark, for doing the baking! Many RSVP's! It should be a fun time).
Taming hasn't been an issue this summer. Many of our kittens were born right here to feral moms who gave birth right upon capture, so they grew up in a home environment. We also have a few dedicated volunteers who visit regularly, so the ones that were wild tamed up quite nicely!
So I decided to be open tomorrow for a few adopters, since we have so many kittens available for adoption right now.
Nancy and Annette sent the info around via email, and now it looks like it's turning into a major event!
We have eleven kittens of our own that are seeking homes. Two of those are too small to go right now, but can have holds placed on them, or can be placed in a foster-to-adopt situation. I'll also be picking up two local kittens from a woman who rescued five and still has two left, and a couple of feral kittens. These kittens can be pre-adopted, but will definitely need a vet visit and FeLV/FIV testing before we would send them home with anyone. They will be downstairs, away from the upstairs kitten population.
Both adopters and "just visitors" are coming, so if you are interested, drop me an email at info @ americancat.net (remove spaces) and I'll send directions if you need them! It looks like it will be a nice day for a drive.
We'll be open from noon to six pm. Hope to see some of you then!

Unfortunately, working all day, so I could not come. One of these days...
Please let us know if any get adopted. I'd love it if there were a few missing faces the next time I visit (even though I love them ALL!).
Two new kittens were adopted. Dude was picked, but upon checking into standard protocol, we should hang onto him for three more months to be sure he's healthy, so his adopter will take Popcorn (the yellow female) and would like to be informed when Dude is ready for adoption. And Tristan The Monster Kitten got a home. Everyone is still here because they need their pre-adoption check ups or fecals.
