Music to her ears
January 2, 2009 : 1:19 AM
Tracey and Shotaro came out yesterday to see how their boys were
getting on, and to meet some of the other kitties. We had a nice chat,
and it was a delight to see the boys jump up eagerly in their cage,
when they caught sight of their people! They crawled all over the
couple and were so happy to see them. I think they must love their new
home very much! David took them to the station today, and they are now
headed back to Tokyo. Fantasia really enjoyed being held by Tracey, and
it made us think that maybe Fantasia is getting closer to the time when
she'll be able to go to a new home. She so loves attention, and her
habits are improving little by little. She still looks a bit rough, but
the new hair coming in is a beautiful color. Her favorite place these
cold days is camping out on a fleece blanket in front of the kitten
room heater. We've been letting her stay there, out of her cage, while
the kittens go out in the enclosure to play. She still doesn't move
around much, but it's giving her more experience with life outside the
cage, and she always perks up when she hears the can opener!

Fantasia is becoming quite a beauty and I am sure she will be adopted
quickly, once she is available. Sounds like Larry and Moe are living in
a great home, and the home they deserve. I know seeing them with their
parents makes it all worthwhile.
I am looking forward to a positive update on Ewok and seeing photos of
Sylvie in his new home. Sylvie didn't stay with you long. He escaped
for a reason and time will tell what that reason is.
I hope you have many successful adoptions, an abundance of great
fosters and volunteers, healthy kittens who test negative, donations
galore, find the perfect new shelter, receive cooperation from the
government, and continue enjoying what you do. Happy New Year!

Thank you! We've recently got a lot of help from a few dedicated
volunteers, and we feel like this could be our most effective year
ever. It is such a joy, connecting with people who care about these
poor cats, and want to help them as much as we do!

Poor little fantasia!
From the looks of it, she will bloom into a beautiful cat! Her coat is a beautiful color and look at those eyes!!!!
It is truly blessed work that you do. Happy New Year!

Settling in and falling out
January 4, 2009 : 9:58 PM
Suki has settled into her new home, and is now doing well. These people
have really been patient with her during her adjustment period, and
have kept in touch with us regularly about her progress, which has made
our job a lot easier. In this case they are fostering, but we're
sometimes asked why we require that adopters agree to allow us to check
up on their cat. We have to explain that every cat rescued represents
the effort of many people, whether it be through time or money, and
these people are all invested in the cat's happy future. We all need to
hear how the cats are doing, as it encourages us to keep up the good
work. It can also help us to provide support with problems that may
crop up, before they become too difficult to deal with.
This week we've been having problems with Jellybean, an adult female
that had been living for several years, in one of the enclosures. She's
a bit smaller in size than the others, and we're not sure how the
dynamic changed, but she was suddenly unable to get along with anybody.
We've had to put her in a cage inside, which has made her cry
continuously. We think that she had a falling out with the dominant
male, who had previously been her close friend. We brought them into a
room together for a sit down, and George was quiet, while Jelly bean
just howled. Not sure if there is anyway to help them repair their
relationship. We've had similar problems reintegrating cats that have
developed personality clashes within the group. Sometimes changing
groups is effective, so we may try to gradually introduce her to one of
the other enclosures. However in her current hysterical state, she's
not likely to make any new friends, so we'll have to wait until she
calms down a bit.

I had thought of that, initially, but since we've given her some space
on her own, she's relaxed considerably. We may still take her in, just
to rule the physical aspect out.

How strange....have you taken her to the vet to be checked out for
illness. Sometimes a change in health can trigger "disagreements" *
Wild world, tame flowers
January 8, 2009 : 9:34 PM
We've been giving the wildflowers some time to play out in the kitten
enclosure, which requires extra cleaning between groups, but they seem
to have so much energy for running around these days. Not sure if this
is a good indication that they may later test negative for FELV, but
it's nice to see them doing so well. They are also becoming much
friendlier, and now enjoy being picked up for a cuddle anytime. More pictures...
Ewok remains at the vet's clinic, but he says she can come back if we
can keep her in a temperature controlled, isolated environment. We want
to talk with him about how appropriate it will be to put her in a
foster-care situation, since life in a cage indefinitely, seems too
sad. It will have to be a special situation, with someone who
understands her potential difficulties. She's an adorable kitten, who
still has a lot of love to give.
Choco and Cookie will visit a family on Sunday, to give everyone an
opportunity to get to know each other better. These two kittens can
sometimes be a bit shy at the first meeting, so I'm hoping that they
warm up quickly and can put their normally sweet personalities on
display! Having been born in terrible circumstances outside, they had a
bit of a wild and traumatic start, but as they recovered, they settled
right into domestic life. They are both really loving kittens, and with
their interesting coloring, they will be beautiful cats someday.

Anchors away
January 13, 2009 : 12:54 AM
Margaret took Choco and Cookie out to PAWS, the Yokosuka Naval Station
animal shelter, as they have a waiting list for families wanting to
adopt kittens. These two are really looking for homes to settle into,
and the staff at PAWS have been wonderful in welcoming the boys into
their facility. I was surprised to see them looking so calm on arrival,
but I think they are getting better at meeting new people, and they
certainly look healthier after all of their attentive care at
Margaret's. We're hoping to get a few more of the older kittens out
there, for adoption, soon.
Everyone's a bit tired of staying indoors because of the cold weather.
The kittens get out into the enclosure for a few hours everyday, but
it's just too cold for them to stay out any longer. More snow, and
though it's now starting to melt, I hear there is more coming again. As
the only unaltered male, Michael can't join the group, and has to go
out by himself. We still have 6 of the female kittens to spay, and
we've been getting them done just before re-homing. We have a lot of
difficulty in getting appointments for low cost operations locally, and
Michael is up next. However, Louise, our feral kitten has recently gone
into heat, so we are going to have to work something out. We had been
able to get spays for $130 each, if we brought 3 kittens in at a time,
but that vet no longer wants to do this for NPOs. Shifting TNR projects
to be done on an individual person's basis, while only providing
assistance with trapping, should satisfy this new rule. But we can no
longer send shelter cats. Our usual vet has a small busy clinic, and we
feel lucky just to get the one spay or neuter per month. We're still
looking at properties. If we can find an appropriate place, we'll be
able to register our own clinic, which would allow us to bring in a vet
from further away.

I'm glad they already thought of those things! Excellent!
I think your adoption paper is great. It's colorful and eyecatching. I
would put in BOLD print however that the cat is always welcome back to
your organization. Some things just should stand out.
Great job!

We were concerned as well, but the staff have assured us that they
screen very carefully. We've adopted out to 3 different military
families this year, on our own, and all were really great folks. I
think one of the reasons in starting the shelter on the base was to
address the issue of abandonment. They offer the chance to surrender
pets that families are not able to relocate with, and then they readopt
them out or place them in foster care. I put together a paper to hand out with our kittens, and would be curious what you think of it...

I hope the Naval Station animal shelter does adoption checks like any other shelter.
I also worry because in many cases mililtary folks rotate their bases
so much, that they would adopt cute kittens and then dump unwanted
adult cats that they can't have shipped out with them later on....I'm
sure many of them don't mean to, but its the pet that loses in these
cases.
Do you know how they "prevent" this from happening now?

Fantasia gets a present!
January 13, 2009 : 3:12 AM
We got a small package in the mail today with a little pink fleece
sweater, perfectly sized for Fantasia. I assume it's from Tracey, as
she said that she was sending something for her. I slipped it on her,
and she seems to love it. She snuggled right down into her blanket and
purred! Her hair hasn't completely come back in, on her back, so she
always seems a bit cold, and I hadn't thought of this idea. Later on, I
came in to find her snuggled up against one of the kittens near the
heater--clever, feral Louise, whose lock picking and cage door opening
skills have her fit for a life of crime. More pictures of Fantasia...

I got the address from Susan so just ask her and she`ll let you know.
The size was M for a chihauha sized dog I think! I visited David and
Susan over New Years and seeing Fantasia without fur broke my heart (as
I used to have a persian)! She was so cuddly and purred a lot when I
held her that I knew just what she needed and Im happy for her.

We cannot resist going in to look at her throughout the day, she's that
cute! Her personality is already over the top, but her new found sense
of style is truly something to put a smile on our faces! She does have
a hot water bottle in her cage at night, along with blankets, and we
always keep the room heater on. But it appears that there is nothing
like a sweater, to really make her feel cozy.

Yea, poor little girl can't wear it 24 hrs a day, but I bet she would if she could! :)
What an awesome present that sweater is. Does she have alot of blankets to snuggle under in her cage?

Fantasia mostly stays huddled in front of the kitten room heater, but
her new sweater has given her the ability to explore! Last night when
David went in to put her in her cage for the night, she was nowhere to
be found. We soon found her upstairs, lounging on a rug! I think she
had been too cold to venture any distance from the heater, but feels
much more comfortable now. I hated to take it off for the night, but
she had started grooming it, so I thought we should give it a rest!

I tell you, fantasia really has hold of my heart strings. I'm almost
glad she is with you in Japan and not in Maine! She is so adorable! She
really deserves a special home! I am so very glad she is inside right
now, with you in your home and not out in the streets.

Yep, I sent it. I thought she'd like it and Im so happy it finally
arrived! Hopefully, it'll help the little baby get back on her feet
soon. She's such a smoochy cat who needs lots of attention and
cuddles...

Yes, that's Louise. The other kittens are in their cages for the
afternoon nap time, but Louise can unlock and open her cage door, if we
don't remember to secure it with a bungee. Because of the cold, we let
everyone out into their enclosure for an hour or so in the morning,
come back into their cages for nap time, and go out again in the
afternoon. Fantasia always stays on a blanket by the heater, during the
day. I've never seen these two together, so this is something new!

I have a small black cat that I nicknamed my "ninja kitty" because she
loves to pilfer small objects if I accidentally leave them lying around
and moves them to another location to inspect them furthur.
I have found small statues, q-tip swabs, other odds and ends of a
similar size relocated around the apartment and I always have to
laugh...cause I know who it is...I've seen her do this! :)
Is that Louise who she is snuggling with?

Lucky and luckier
January 14, 2009 : 11:21 AM
Dawn sent us pictures of Lee's two rescues, that she adopted--Chibite
and Osi. They are lucky, happy cats, thanks to Lee's kind and brave act
of rescue, along with the love of a good family. Lee will go back to
her home country, but she will have saved two little lives while she
lived here, and given Bunny an affectionate home. Dawn has been an
extra big help this year, adopting not one, but two, and also helping
us to get 5 new traps here from the States. One of the best things
about being involved in rescue work, is getting a chance to meet such
kind and caring people. It gives me hope to know that there are people
like that out there, and we are all working together to make the world
just a little bit nicer, in our own corner.

4 more for PAWS
January 17, 2009 : 11:35 AM
4 more kittens off to PAWS! Sage, Janey, Peter, and Annie, all of them
really sweet kittens. There was an event out at Yokosuka today, so I'm
hoping all made a good impression, and will soon find loving homes. I
expected Sage to hide away, but he looks really comfortable in the
pictures that they sent from just after the kittens arrived. Sage was
part of Maggie's herbs, who all started out fairly unfriendly. I
remember the night that Takako talked me into going back out to look
for kittens after we'd trapped a mother that looked like she'd been
nursing. We sat outside in a parking lot in the dark until around 1:00
in the morning, trying to catch Sage and his siblings. We ended up
using a combination of kitten traps, mom in a cage, and all out pounce
and grab! Basil went on to find a home pretty quickly, and I think Sage
will find one soon. Lavender and Mint are still here.
We've had a rush of requests for Choco and Cookie, who are now also at
PAWS. Hopefully everyone will see the beauty of those remaining, or be
able to hold on until the spring rush. I really can't believe that we
are coming to the bottom of last year's group!
Another piece of exciting news is that a British TV crew is coming out
to film some of our bobtails next week. We're trying to make some
preparations, while keeping up with the regular load of work, so right
now it's hard to think about anything other than what's next on the
list of things to do. But, it will be interesting, and I'm hoping that
everything goes well.

We're very excited about working with PAWS! The staff have been very
nice and will arrange for the spay and neuter themselves, on the base,
which is a big help for us these days. They also serve a very large
population of families on several bases, so there are many potential
new homes that they can reach.
I've never heard of a male calico cat! I'm originally from Michigan,
too. We are located in Michigan's "sister state" of Japan, which was
formed because of Shiga-ken having the largest lake in Japan.

I hope all the kittens are adopted into forever homes. The only male
calico I have ever seen, lived with someone who had been stationed at
that base and brought the cat to MI. I will never forget how shocked I
was when the vet said he was neutering the cat and yes, the cat did
need neutering.

Poe's Evermore (formerly known as Sylvie)
January 18, 2009 : 9:39 AM
Just got a really nice message from Poe's (Sylvie) new family, along with some great photos!
It sounds like things are going very well, and he certainly looks
happy. Today David went out to check in on Onna (formerly known as
Michelle), and Suki (formerly known as Judy), both now with families in
Nagoya. They are also doing very well, and David was pleased to see
them playing and resting so comfortably. It is such an encouragement to
see the rescues doing well in their new lives! It really makes all of
the effort it takes to get them to this place, worthwhile.
I went out to check restaurants for our visiting TV crew, and also to
buy cat supplies. We've decided to switch to the Royal Canin Baby Cat
formula for the FELV kitties, since it has immune system boosters
included. Not sure how much this makes a difference (and it's very
expensive to buy) but it seems worth a try. We are still trying to run
down the information on oral interferon. Right now they are all symptom
free, have loads of energy, and are eating really well.

Yes, the bobtails are the ones that tested positive for FELV. They are
currently our best examples of Japanese bobtails in the shelter. Since
a lot of the bobtails that we rescue are born outside, they can be very
shy, if we don't find them at a young age. We have another friendly
bobtail in foster care (Bunny), which will come back for filming, and
another friendly bobtail here that has chronic stomatitis (Sumi chan).
The others we have here are really beautiful, but much too shy to
approach strangers.
Ewok is ready to leave the clinic and the vet is feeling very positive
about her current condition. He's mentioned the 30% statistic that we
keep hearing, and said that she may be able to overcome the disease. I
can't help hoping that more than 30% of our sweeties are over-comers!
Since Ewok shouldn't join the other 4, and needs a stress-free,
temperature controlled environment, we're currently trying to find a
foster caregiver that understands her special needs. We think that will
be much better than living alone in a cage, here, and will give her the
best chance of beating the disease.
My big cats love that Baby Cat food, too! I always have to resist
giving them a sample, because if I do that, I use it up way too fast.
They can smell it when I'm feeding the kittens, and I have to admit, it
does smell kind of good!

It looks like Poe's great escape ended happily with a loving family in a comfortable home.
That is very exciting about the television crew filmimg and hopefully
it will result in more donations and adoptions. Are the Bobtails the
FELV kittens? Is Ewok still in the clinic?

What a gorgeous picture! Getting happy updates DOES help us when we do rescue. It is to good to see the babies in happy homes.
Baby Cat works very well ... we use that in my group for the little
ones who have tummy problems or who've been taken from their momma.
They seem to digest it pretty easily. It is expensive, but it goes a
long way (unless the big cats figure out how to get into it the way
mine did ...).

Every cat in its drawer
January 24, 2009 : 1:14 AM
Working mostly this week to make small improvements before
filming...Takako made a sign, and we put down new linoleum in one of
the inside areas. We also made some new outside beds for the kitten
enclosure, using plastic drawers (with the drawer part removed), which
offer protection from sideways rain or snow. A little added insulation
and comfy cat beds inside, make them warm hideaways. They attached
nicely to the walkways, and offer perches on top, as well. Still lots
to do. Takako and Nakanishi san are coming by this afternoon to put up
outdoor lights for the kitten enclosure, and we need to clear a better
path to the veranda. Our staircase is very steep, and we've gotten used
to maneuvering around the shelves at the bottom and top. We have play
days now and then, but since we still do most of the cleaning and care
ourselves, we haven't taken the time to make this area more accessible
for visitors. It also cuts through our bedroom, which tends to get the
least attention, organization-wise.
Michael was finally neutered yesterday. We had planned to have him done
last Monday, but he sneezed, and the vet didn't want to keep him in the
cage area overnight with Ewok, since she shouldn't have any exposure to
any possible sickness--Another reason to get her into foster care.
Kaoru took Michael to the vet and he did him quickly then sent him back
right away. It's a relief to have that done, as he's become
increasingly vocal, and very interested in getting out of his cage.
He'll be able to join the kittens out in the enclosure now. Another
cat, Hotoru, needed a small surgery near his eye, on the same day. We
thought the eye had just become slightly infected, as it only looked a
little red and swollen, but the vet said he thought it might be tumor
of some kind. In the end it turned out to be a claw, that had become
embedded in the eyelid, and formed a growth around it. It sounds like
he'll be fine now, though uncomfortable for a few days.
The weather has turned cold, and we are expecting snow. If we manage to
get just the right amount this will be nice for filming, but I'm hoping
it doesn't create problems with transportation.

Cats on film
January 27, 2009 : 11:24 PM
We've just finished our adventure in being filmed for part of a
documentary! All of the volunteers really enjoyed working with the film
crew, who really couldn't have been nicer people. Joanna Lumley, the
presenter, was actually Absolutely Fabulous in person. She is stylish,
funny, kind, encouraging, and makes the whole process of talking in
front of the camera very comfortable, as she's so easy to talk with.
She quickly became a big hit with all of the volunteers here, and now
has a whole new group of fans! We'll be sure to list information about
when the film will air on ITV, in the future, but it probably won't be
until sometime in the fall.
We were really proud of our terrific group of supporters, who worked so
hard to get everything ready for yesterday. The front of the shelter
looks great, and completely different, thanks to Takako and Nakanishi
san. The kitten room got a detailed scrubdown, thanks to Aya san and
Sayaka san, who also contributed kitty star performers. Trudi made the
sacrifice of giving up her soon to be adopted Bunny for a few days, so
that bunny and her cute little bobtail could appear on the film. After
joining in the kitten enclosure interview, Bunny and Aya's rescue
Daifuku, went out to film at the old Japanese farm house portion. They
were perfect! They settled onto cushions near the hearth, while
professor Akiko Manabe told ghost cat stories, and were complete
angels. All of the cats were well behaved, and seemed to know how
important the day was for everyone. My neighbors, the Ogitas, put an
amazing sushi and salad lunch together, which was delicious. It was so
kind of Akiko to open their lovely house to us for this, and her sunny
living room made a comfortable place for all of us to take a rest in
between filming locations. On the way out to the farm house (Kongouen),
while stopping to film the shinkansen passing, we spotted a female cat.
She was obviously a stray, and not in bad shape, but clearly looking
for a mate. Since she was friendly enough to be picked up, we decided
to take her in for spaying this week, and bring her back out there,
afterward. After we finished filming, we made a mad dash for the train,
trying to make the once an hour, earlier option. We ended up, by some
stroke of luck, getting everyone and everything on the train for a
quick happy sendoff.
I caught a cold shortly before the crew arrived here, and by the time
they left, I'd completely lost my voice. David and I are taking the day
off from classes--not from the cats!--and will enjoy having nothing
pressing on the schedule today. I'll post more pictures when I get them
from Takako, who was our photographer for the day.

We'd like to see it get picked up by Animal Planet, since that's

I'm happy you had such a pleasant experince with the filming. It's
amazing that you were able to pull everything together in such a short
time. The film will be nice for Trudi and Aya to have of their cats.
Unfortunately, we can not view ITV videos from their website, in the
United States. I have tried and you must be in the UK. Hopefully, you
will be able to post a link that allows us to view the film. Maybe it
will be posted on YouTube, since everything seems to end up
there.

Little big fortune
January 31, 2009 : 9:43 AM
Trudi came out to pick up Bunny and to meet Aya to talk about adopting
Daifuku, as a playmate for Bunny. These two really bonded during
filming! Everyone said they thought it would be nice to see them stay
together, and sure enough, they headed out to Trudi's, to start their
new life together. They are both the sweetest kitties, but Daifuku is
one of the most adorable kittens! He has a cute little curly bobtail
and long soft caramel and cream colored fur. To top it off, his
personality is all charm! He bounds over to everyone in the room, in
turn, for hugs. Aya found him abandoned at only a month old in a store
parking lot. How lucky he was that Aya was there to bring him home,
before any harm could come to him. His name means "big fortune", and is
also a favorite Japanese sweet.
I went out afterward, to pick up a new power cord for the computer, and
some on sale litter boxes. I had a great discussion with one of our
volunteers about lots of plans we have for this year, and for improving
our effectiveness. No English classes, thanks to my having very little
voice, but somehow I managed to communicate my enthusiasm for all of
the great ideas we have for the coming year.

We got a great mail from Trudi about these two chasing each other
around her apartment, and Daifuku sliding into walls! She's really
happy that Bunny has someone to play with, as well as some more
exercise, and Dai is certainly giving her a run for her money. It is
really hard to believe that Bunny is the same kittie that arrived here
in such a sad condition--wonderful to see how nice and happy she looks

Bunny has come a long way from that skinny cat in the dirty little
