Uhura/Cattila
Adopted!
On May 13, Uhura was taken to an
animal control center to be destroyed, along with her sisters Christine
and Jamie, and brothers Chekov, Tiger, and Spock. 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, Uhura and her
siblingshad
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. Uhura (now Cattila) was adopted by her foster care
giver in Osaka, along Chekov.
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.

List*
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.
