Cats and Rabbits... Bliss!

The usual start to my Tuesday, cleaning out the small animals at Hula. Numbers today were; 1 duck, 3 hamsters, 1 rat, 1 tortoise, 3 rabbits and 2 Guinea pigs.

The Guinea pigs are new and were very scared so after I cleaned up their pen and left them to chill out on their own to try and help them settle in. Tommy the tortoise has stopped eating so that means he getting ready to hibernate shortly. And Jack the rat seemed a lot more chilled out this week.

In the afternoon I was looking after the cats. Honey had moved from the back room to the main room, she didn't seem as happy as last week, I think she's not too impressed with being locked in a cage all day, but I'm sure it wont be long until she finds a lovely new home.

Kevin was collected today, he's heading off to his new home, which is great news. Bless him he's a very chatty cat with no tail and had been at Hula for quite some time, so it's really great that he's found someone that thinks he's the one!

The kittens have grown tons in size and confidence in just a week, they were quite playful today. Boris is really growing in confidence too, he was out and about today and really didn't want to go back in his pen at the end of the day. And Clive, the feral cat was looking much happier today sitting at the front of his pen, not curled up in bed as he normally is. He came out for a wander and then came and sat by me for a little bit, which is such a good sign that his confidence in humans is really coming on.

I wont be seeing the cats for 3 weeks now, I wonder who in that time will find a new home and what newbies will arrive!
