Retired dragon. Curmudgeon. Caffeine fueled. Loves cats, turtles, critters, and knitting.

The dragon is as broke as you are.

I finished this knit beanie in the past week. I'm working on another one using a different pattern now. You can never have too many hats in winter.

Yellow is cheerful!

Anyway, this is the dude who passed out. I don't know his name but I've seen him hanging around Trump before. I hope he's okay.

Geez. Look at Trump in this photo. Can you be any more checked out?

There is an animal rescue organization in Cummings, Georgia called FurKids. Yesterday their transport van heading to Vermont with 37 cats aboard was involved in a serious accident on I-85 south of mile marker 147, Jackson Co. 35 cats have been recovered and are safe.

Two cats are still missing.

Bye, bye, baby girl. Good luck in your new home! I'm going to miss you, Jumper!

And that's a wrap on the Connecticut chapter of Kitten Academy. Now that everybody has found homes, I can relax and enjoy the current momcat and her kittens. I couldn't really do that until now.

First of all, Jumper is still looking for a home. She's adorable and she's very shy, but she'll warm to you and give you lots of love if you give her time. Apply at kitten.academy/adopt.

A long overdue and newsy news update is now available on the KA website. kitten.academy/mewspaper/20...

When you call yourself a disability advocate and then you make posts that I can't process without undue attention due to my own issues, are you really an advocate. This is obviously a bot someone has set up. Don't bug them. But they irked my last nerve this morning, so...

I rather appreciated this positioning of posts in my feed.

Cloak and Romper are ready for immediate adoption as a bonded pair for the total cost of only $175 at the Danbury Animal Welfare Society in Danbury, Connecticut.

See daws.org/daws-forms for the application or the above post for a link to the PetFinder page.

Danbury, CT: I am pleased to be able to provide this update on Cloak and Romper. DAWS has now seen what we all knew already. They are a bonded pair. They have also updated photos.

Please help Cloak and Romper find a new home by sharing this information. Thank you.

A few bonus pictures of Cloak because she is so hard to describe.

I apologize for my abysmal alt text descriptions. I am not good at describing images and these cats are all image.

The cats still seeking adoption are:

Cardigan, a regal black female who is about 9 months old.

Jumper, an adorable and energetic black and white tuxedo female who is about 10 months old.

Cloak, a hand shy love bug, and her son, Romper, a black and white tuxie boy. They are both shy and sweet.

You need a Noodle in your life! She is waiting for you very patiently in her cute little cactus pod.

Noodle needs a new home or a foster no later than July 5. Please see the attached thread for more information and share this post.

Even if you can't adopt a Noodle, adopt from your local shelter!

Kitten Academy has a family of four lovely black panther kitties. The mother is Cape. The kittens are Poncho, Cardigan and Parka. Cape and Parka, I am happy to say, do have a confirmed adopter. Poncho and Cardigan are still looking for an adopter or foster. They are around 8-1/2 to 9 months old.

I went to the Discord community last night and mentioned I needed some good photos of a few of the kittens and by the end of the evening, one of the Discord members had created this new ad for Cloak, Tutu, and Romper. Aren't they cute?

Meet the Tuxies at Kitten Academy!
Blazer is a fun loving guy. He needs a friend to play with.
Jumper is a great gal. Loves to play. She's a little aloof and touchy so will need time to get used to other cats.
Smock is an adorable girl who loves her sibs but is very nervous around other cats.

From a few minutes ago, this photo has Blazer, Tutu and Romper playing together.

Cloak, Romper, and Tutu are residents of Kitten Academy. They came to KA as a young family in December 2024. Cloak and Romper are very shy while Tutu is more outgoing. Ideally they would be fostered/adopted as a family but Tutu would probably be fine on her own. Romper wants to go with his mama.

Noodle is a resident of Kitten Academy. She needs an adopter or a foster by end of June.

We don't have an estimate on her age, but she's young and healthy, and highly play motivated. A real sweetheart. She's a bit shy and would need a slow introduction to other pets in your household.

This is your mission statement. PROTECT RESOURCES. Not destroy them for the profit.

If you follow, then unfollow, then follow again, in order to get my attention, you will get it. I will block you and forget you exist.

I live for the day when Blue Sky allows me to boot followers off my account. I'm not here to help anyone build their follower count or boost their fund raising.
