Lots of pictures for today!

The shyest little calico cutie. I took these first pictures just a few hours ago. She has gotten to the point where she'll come out of the tree house, which is good, but she's still very shy. She'll tolerate some petting, but not much.

This little man is hilarious. He *has* to play with everything the others play with. Simply needs to be the center of attention. He's perfectly socialized, loves attention, fine with being picked up, etc. He's such a sweetie.

This girl will let you pet her if you have food, but she's not that big on physical attention. She's slowly coming around, though.

Little corker.

This little one is doing the best behind the black and white male. She loves to be petted, but doesn't like to be picked up.

These cages are the best. They've got shelves, hammocks, blankets. The doors are open 24/7, but they love lounging around in them still.

They love their hammocks. = )

Top of the tree house.

Those little mice are their favorites, especially the black and white one.

My mousie.

That's right.

These next pictures are from last week. Little Cujo (grey feral one) stays in the tree house when humans are present. The LV's have seen him scurry back in when they enter, but have seen him on the windowsill, eating, playing, so at least he's out when it's just the kitties. If he does not become socialized, he has a home with one of the LV's daughters as an outdoor cat.

Little girl hiding.

I think the blue hammock is a bit bigger. It's the favored one.

They love that feather wand as well. I think this girl's ears are so cute! They look so big compared to her little head! Or maybe they're just rounder.

Silly face.

I love her coloring. She's super cute.

This girlie has gotten a little better. She still swats at me when she doesn't want to be petted (which is 80% of the time). She spends most of her time on top of the tree house when people are in the room, but has felt comfortable enough to come down a few times to play and eat.

Hi there.

Thirsty cats.

Look at the face on that little calico. (She's one of my favorites.)

More drinkage.

Since we met the LV's, there has been a shelter put up for food and water. No more just laying it on the ground. I'll have to get some photos of it. Paul also anchored two plastic summer shelters for sleeping, which I put straw inside of. We're going to attempt to find a used dog house on craigslist that we can modify for the cats to use during the winter, though. It's unbearably cold here in the winter.

All the cats in these pictures are at the LV's house, being socialized. (Except for mama.) All need homes, except the more defined calico, who is already spoken for. I'll post more pictures and information on how they're doing in a bit. = ) I am just really hoping that we can find good homes for these guys! And get the rest of the moms/dads spayed and neutered before winter arrives!

As Promised...

Pickle - Wood Fairy

Stranger, Tricky, and Jehzar

All five of these guys are regulars. Jojo and Stevie have been seen rarely, if at all, since their castration. We had a couple of mistaken identity cases as well. For a while, we thought there was a Pickle and a Boy George. However, both cats are one. We kept the name Pickle as it was his original name. We also thought there was a Snuggle and a Tricky. These two are one as well. I have kept the name Tricky, but others still call him Snuggle. Not sure yet on which one will be permanent.
