2015 - A Look Back

Gus:  As we close 2015, we thought this would be a great time to take a look back at all of our students we've helped this year.

The year started with a shy girl named Tracey.  Tracey was at the adoption center hiding in the back of her kennel when the Mama brought her to us.  Tracey started to accept humans while she was at our school.  Her new family continued her training.  Now Tracey is a loving, friendly girl with a great family.

The next litter of kitten was the Auntie kittens.  They were named after the Mama's Aunts that had passed away - Doris, Millie (Mildred), and Tooty (Gladys).  They were sweet little things!

Then we had the Furreign Exchange Students.  Asha Billi representing India.  Cosette LaFurr representing France.  Giovanni il Gatto representing Italy.  Otto von Katzen for Germany and Liam O'Moggy for Ireland.  Giovanni and Asha were the shy two out of the bunch.  In fact, Asha wouldn't be caught when it came time to be spayed so she spent a couple extra weeks with us.  During that time she really blossomed!

October was a great month in Kansas City with the Kansas City Royals winning the World Series.  It was only appropriate that this litter was named after some of our favorite Royals players.  This litter was also one of the friendliest we've ever had and they were even able to star in some videos for Hallmark!  Dani and Purrez were adopted by Mama's friend, Tara so we get to watch them grow up!  They are doing great but we hear they can be very naughty sometimes.

Next came the Soup Kittens.  The Mama kitty was named Campbell after the good Samaritan that found them.  Since it was starting to get cold, we decided to name them after different soups.  We had Sweet Pea, Pepper, Barley, and Noodle.

Finally, we end the year with Pat and Kit Kat.  They had already had their surgeries by the time they came to us.  There wasn't room at the adoption center so they came to us so they wouldn't get sick while waited.  Guess what?  They got sick anyway!  We were able to nurse them back to health.  Since they were extremely shy, we were also able to give them some lessons in humans.  They were really coming out of their shells by the time they went to the adoption center.  We are pleased to say they were adopted right after Christmas!

We were able to help 21 cats through our foster Acatemy where kittens were able to get healthy and learn lessons that will help them become successful, kitty family members.  2015 was a great year.  We can't wait to see what 2016 has in store for us!

Happy New Year!

Uncle Lexus

There is a cat at Great Plains SPCA named Lexus.  Lexus has such a nurturing personality.  The volunteers have nicknamed him Uncle Lexus.  Lexus takes shy or rambunctious kittens under his wing and teaches them the kitty ropes.

This week, the Mama introduced Lexus to Asha.  Asha is the last of the Furreign Exchange Students and has yet to be adopted.  Asha has been sad and lonely all by herself in a kennel.

"Don't worry Asha.  I'll take care of you."  - Lexus

Lexus started grooming Asha right away.

Asha couldn't get enough of Lexus's lovin, but Lexus wasn't the only cat that took a notice to Asha.

Cider couldn't wait to play hide and seek with her.

Cider was seen grooming her as well.  Is there a love triangle forming?

Lexus has a great track record of his kitten proteges being adopted.  Will Asha be next?  Will Asha decide she prefers Cider's playfulness?  Will Lexus decide to retire and find a family of his own?   Stay tuned to As the World Purrs...

Things We Love - Chewy.com and Weruva Treats

Jaq:  Since tonight is Asha's last night as Purr's Training Acatemy, I thought I would let Asha do the review of Weruva's Paw Lickin Chicken treats for chewy.com.  Asha, what do you think of the treats?

Asha:  nom nom nom nom

Jaq:  ASHA?!?

Asha:  nom nom nom nom

Jaq:  What I'm sure Asha would say if she wasn't stuffing her face is that these treats are delicious!  I love them too and I'm not even a treat kind of guy.  Pearl is the only one of us that doesn't like them.

Jaq: The first ingredient in these treats is chicken.  Know what the second ingredient is?  Nothing!  The only ingredient is chicken!  Only freeze dried chicken!

Weruva uses quality ingredients and the Mama feels good about feeding it to us.  Right now, chewy.com has the Paw Lickin' Chicken treats on sale!  How lucky are you?

As always chewy.com is awesome!  We just ordered our canned food from them.  Their website is easy to use, their products are reasonably priced and our order got here quickly.

Thanks for the treats chewy.com!

If I'm feeling nice tomorrow, I might even give Asha the rest of the treats as a going away gift.

Extra Credit Sunday Selfies

Gus:  Asha is STILL here.  She didn't pass her socialization test and was held back a week or so.  We aren't really sure what else we can do to help her.  Our normal teaching techniques don't seem to be working with her.  She loves us but she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Mama.  She has been a bit friendlier since her siblings went to the adoption center.

At least she does well at selfies!  She got a good photobomb of me too so we'll give her extra credit for that.

Grandma is visiting so I thought I'd go for the cute look for my selfie.

Pearl got a little distracted watching Asha playing with Da Bird during her selfie.

Jaq was turning on the charm for Grandma during his selfie.

Hope you all have a great Sunday!
