On Friday 4th October we went ahead with our mini fundraiser Pub Quiz. It was undoubtedly a success with only 3 people unable to make it – pretty impressive right and I believe the photos speak for themselves. Even our quadrupeds got to hang out in our local area, Sai Ying Pun! I know there were a few sore heads the following day 

I want to say an ENORMOUS ‘Thank you’ to Donna for organizing the event and giving her time and patients pulling it all together. You did us proud  – oh and not forgetting Matthew for helping by lying on a chair supervising! A further special thanks to Laura our quiz master who very kindly donated her time.

Not forgetting the Flying Pig Deli for hosting the event, Shady Acres, Doggies & Friends and Wine Brothers for their generous donations  -thank you all very much.

We’ll be doing another event before Christmas which is just round the corner. Check on our website, www.kirstenszoo.com / Facebook/ Instagram  for updates and details.

It’s been an interesting few weeks, putting it mildly, what with the erratic weather and ongoing situation with demonstrations. As expected it has had an effect on adoptions with far fewer people adopting or even fostering. This is very sad not to mention worrying .

We had a terrible month with very few cats going to homes, take a look ………..

Charlie – at last the beautiful Charlie found her forever home and has made herself more than a little bit at home. She has a new name and is loving the attention she receives almost 24/7. She’s a real telly addict too and will watch anything that’s on while cuddled up beside you.

Jelly & Jam – As expected our two little treasure are happy and loving the space and comfort provided, not to mention great food and attention. Two very fortunate kittens and a home any cat would be happy to be in.

Julio & Jupiter – Like the above ‘J kittens’ they’re living the life and have made new friends and playmates too; we love how rapidly and readily they settled in. I wish our older cats could do the same. Another amazing home to match the little cuties.

Karl – He has been through the wars with flu, infection and more; however, he bounced back and came out smiling. He’ll be in his new home very soon, next week as the adoption is confirmed. He has had the very best of care and I have to thank his fosters for that who kept him safe, did everything and more to nurse him back to health and it paid off since he’s more than tripled in weight. He is the cutest adorable little creature

New cats

Kiki & Kristy – They’re coming on nicely and lets face it it can’t be easy having never lived inside before. It takes time and time they have; they’ll both be desexed and vaccinations etc done and then more time ……… we are hopeful they’ll be ready for homing in time 

Leroy – he’s a very handsome boy. He was beaten and cruelly treated and rescued by the same person who fed and saved Kiki & Kristy. He’s now in a foster and learning to trust; he isn’t aggressive but he is standoffish and understandably so. He’ll get there – he’s made it this far and never mind how long it takes, he’s ours and he’ll get there when he’s ready.

Lucy – a pretty cat and we’re waiting to see if she wants to have a cat friend or not. Great with humans however the resident cat isn’t a fan yet. Lucy certainly isn’t looking to befriend her just yet either. If it doesn’t work, if she doesn’t fit that’s fine, she’ll easily find a home and she’s ready!

Who else do we have – well here’s a few if you’d like to take a look at……..

Lovely Larry, who is becoming a cuddly ball of fun – on his terms of course 

India & Iago, the young kittens who missed out on two homes as we had younger models 

Immy, the kittens mum and a stunning tortoiseshell who will be someones bff – soon we hope 

Iggy, such a gorgeous boy – love him (it’s hard not to) 

Idris & Iliana a perfect pair though a bit on the fat side right now – on a diet 

Bobo & Xiao xiong, they may be older but they’re also a delight to be around and would make anyone happy and calm 

If you’d like to see / meet any of our cats please check the website www.kirstenszoo.com and complete the questionnaire if you’d like to foster or adopt.

I look forward to hearing from you, lets hope things calm down generally and we’ll see you at Pawtners next month!
