New foster kittens

Well, that didn't take long--shortly after we posted about Dan Merino being lonely as our last remaining foster kitten, someone came in and fell instantly in love with him. Congratulations, little buddy!

Mr. Merino and his new mom, Joanna.

With an adoption record of 3-for-3, we eagerly agreed to let Dekalb County Animal Services bring us a new batch of fosters. The newbies arrived yesterday afternoon.

These latest sweetie pies are estimated to be about eight weeks old. They've been in foster care in a private home for several weeks, and now that they're almost ready to get spayed/neutered, they've moved in with us so they can reach a bigger audience and find their forever homes faster. (Click photos to enlarge the cuteness.)

This little beauty is Ruby. She's a classic tabby who enjoys chilling in her hammock and watching the action all around her. She's a little more shy than the other two. She likes playing, but is equally happy to snuggle. Her previous foster mom told us Ruby liked to sit on her shoulder, and sure enough, she nestled right up to Stacy. Awww.

Stone is Ruby's brother. How cute is that pink nose?! Stone loves to investigate everything and rough-house with his sisters. Our only problem with him is that he's too photogenic--it was hard to pick which photos of him to use! Someone has already applied to adopt this handsome devil, so we don't expect him to be with us for long.

Sapphire isn't a littermate to the other two, but she's been in foster care with them long enough that they consider her part of their family. So far, her hobbies include chasing her tail, chasing her siblings' tails, and attacking a piece of ribbon--while purring. Sapphire has lovely flecked gray fur that reminds us of a bunny.

These babies would love to meet you, so please stop by the shop and give them some love! If you'd like to adopt one (or more), you can pick up the application here or get in touch with us at carrie@sheepish.biz and we'll email the paperwork to you. The adoption fee is $75.00, which includes spay/neuter, all vaccines needed up to the time of adoption, and microchipping.

Please spread the word about these cuties, and help us maintain our perfect adoption record. :)
