Today I transported 4 kittens to and from the spay/neuter clinic - Atticus, Scout, Mayella and Calpurnia. I recognized Atticus and Scout as characters in "To Kill a Mockingbird" but had to do a Google search for the other 2 names. The picture is of Atticus. Nice group of kittens ❤️

My shelter task this morning was to transport 8 cats to our spay/neuter clinic and 3 cats to our normal vet. One of my passengers was this beautiful 8 year old female tripod named Kemper. I hope she finds a good forever home. She's very sweet and always gets up to greet me when I'm at the shelter ❤️

This is Frantic, a 9 month old male cat. He sat in my lap for a long time then peered out the door of the shelter's cat room when I was about to leave. Frantic is scheduled to meet potential adapters this weekend 👍 I enjoyed lap time with him and hope his adoption goes through. He deserves a home ❤️

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Today I transported Cecil from the vet's office to the cat shelter. Poor Cecil has bandages on both front paws and a protective cone. He couldn't exit his carrier because the cone was wider than the carrier door. I helped him get out 😅 He'll go to a foster home tomorrow to get healthy 👍 Love him ❤️😺

Today I transported 5 cats back to the shelter after spay/neuter surgery. I put Jazetta in the front seat by me since she's my favorite. She was still woozy from anesthesia so her little head was bobbing left and right. Poor girl! Now that she's been spayed she'll go on the available cats list ❤️

Today my shelter duty was simply to pick up a box of vaccines and drop them off in the shelter's fridge. When I got there I noticed this beautiful cat named Jazette. She's a 4 year old Lilac Point Siamese ❤️ She hasn't completed the vetting process so isn't on the available cats list yet.

My transport job today was to pick up some printed promotional material and drop it off at the shelter. While there I popped in the cat room and Giggleshits immediately started following me around 😂 He's so cute and will get adopted quickly so I'm enjoying every opportunity to hang out with him ❤️

Meet Prudent and Provident! They are 8 months old. Can you tell they're siblings? 😄 They were at one of the pet stores that partners with our cat shelter to promote adoptions but one got sick with a nasty URI so I transported them back to the shelter for medical care. We'll get them healthy again! ❤️

This is 5 month old Giggleshits, the youngest cat in the shelter's free roam cat room and the one with the most unusual name 😄 I don't know where they come up with these crazy names. Among 5 cats I transported today were 2 named Demogorgan and Vecna. I hear those are "Stranger Things" characters 😄

Today I drove to the animal control in a nearby city to pick up Northern Spy. She was adopted from our shelter in 2022 but her owner is moving into an apartment where pets are not allowed. I'm always saddened when shelter cats are returned but I'm glad she wasn't abandoned in this bitter cold 🥶

Stealing cat photos is gross, but stealing memorial posts from grieving cat owners for likes and shares is truly repulsive. This account has been reported thousands of times and I'm so disappointed in bluesky that it is allowed to continue. 🧵

I never imagined posting an AI generated image but this one really made me laugh. My image generator was instructed to create an image of a cat playing with a toy mouse and this is what it came up with. I guess the AI needs a little more work 😂
