ok, we got the cats back from the shelter that picked them up....the cop charged us $5 bucks a day for each one to stay at the shelter...
We decided that we would pay for the shots and neutering/fixing before we handed them over to the woman at matt's work that wants to adopt them....
we took them for shots the next day, and to our relief, they are both boys, about 7 months is what the doc said, definitely brothers....they seem older than 7 months to me, but that's what the Doc said....
THIS is good news on them being males, because getting them fixed is $60 bucks each, getting them neutered if they were females it would have been $175 each. The ARK....the no kill shelter has a program to help others with fixing stray cats IS going to pay a third, the Doc is giving a third of the cost pro bono, and we have to pay a third, which is A GREAT deal!
they get fixed on the 24th and their last distemper shots....then we give them to Shanna.
We have had them upstairs in a den/guest room, we have a door in the foyer that can keep them up there and separated from my elder cat and our other stray from last year, who are hanging out down stairs....
they are such GOOD BOYS!
except, my own 2 cats figured out something is going on cuz they make alot of noise running around up there.
TODAY, i let the alpha male in to the downstairs, kept the little boy upstairs.
OH, did i tell ya that we named them?
Brodey is the bigger one...the Alpha, Hooper is the smaller....
Anyway, my elder cat, took it much better than i thought....some screaming and yelling when she first saw him...with a little swatting, but for the most part it was soooooo much better than when my elder cat met the stray girl last year....maybe because its a boy, she is taking this better? So i let the runt in downstairs as well.....it's better than i thought it would be!!!
here are some new pics, they both are curious cats, and handsome as handsome can be!
this is Hooper, the runt...he has the most beautiful color and markings, stripes and spots, with the bottom of his feet solid black!
this is Brodey, he's real handsome as well....looks like one of his parents had some Siamese in them with his back fur coloring.....just a gorgeous boy! AND very smart, he's the Alpha! the pics do not do him justice!
