Chekov 
Adopted!
On May 13, Chekov was taken to an animal control center to be destroyed, along with his sisters Christine,
Uhura and Jamie, and brothers Spock, and Tiger.
JCN was able to intervene, thanks to a new partnership program in which
we help to rescue surrendered kittens associated with TNR
projects. At only 3 weeks of age upon intake, Chekov and his
siblings
had some difficulty eating on their own, so the spay of their feral
mother was delayed and she was brought in to help care for the kittens.
Mom has now been spayed and returned. Chekov was adopted in Kyoto on July 18. JCN
regularly brings kittens and cats to the Kanto area for
adoption and fostering. Feel
free to contact
us if you are interested in meeting available candidates.
*****Notes*****
9/13 - It has been 2 months since
Chekov and Cattila (Uhura) have come to my house. The first week was a
little bit strange for them; I believe they missed the others cats and
they were hidden under the bed most of time. Slowly, after eating I
play with them and they started to enjoy being around with me. After 1
week, they already decided which places of the house was the best for
morning, afternoon and night-sleep. It was very interesting to see the
cycle of places they follow. Since I bought a cat-shelf, they sleep
there in the evening when I am working to be nearby. Lately, the
computer table just beside me had become the newest favorite place. I
tickle them from time to time while working and that is why nearby is
better! Chekov & Cattila play a lot; they are very very friendly to
each other. Also, when one is crying (they usually cry a little when I
clean them because they don’t like) the other come quickly to see
what is going on and/or help!? At night, when I go to bed, Chekov
enjoys the bedside table while Cattila likes to be on the bed. Chekov
is very fast in everything he does (eating, playing, running,
toilet….) while Cattila is very delicate and slower motion. But
when they fight/play twisting in the kitchen rug, she is the dominant
one. Chekov had grown up faster than Cattila, now he weighs 600g more
than her. Quite a super-cat, isn’t it? Third week of September,
Chekov will be spayed. The Vet recommends waiting a little more for
Cattila because she has a small body and maybe October will be time for
Cattila. Two days ago a very interesting happened, I was watching the
YouTube video of Nimai that Gina posted, and when Nimai meows, Chekov
and Cattila literally jumped from their cat-stand to the floor and
starting searching for Nimai, and meowing also. I played the video
again and again, and then had to stop, otherwise my two blackies would
go crazy that night. Sorry for the late update and until next time.
