10 weeks and First Adoption Day

10 weeks old, Basil, Tarragon and Rosemary

At 10 weeks old, all the kittens are big eaters and weigh in at 2 lbs 14 oz.  The tails vary in length from 8-9 inches, with the medium hair boy having the longest tail.  It took more than a dozen attempts to get the 3 kittens together.  They had other ideas of what they wanted to do, chase, climb, etc.

The girls have had their stitches removed after having their Spay surgery.  The vet we use has changed from using the self-dissolving stitches to standard stitches.  It means a second trip back to the vet somewhere between 10-14 days after surgery, but I think it is a better method.  It was not uncommon for my girls to have their incision area reopen to a gaping hole after 7 days.  That meant potential infections, extra healing time and delays in being adoption ready.

All healed and Halloween in our past, today is their first day to Petsmart.  I've been preparing myself for goodbye, not knowing if today will be the last day I will ever see these babies that have been a part of my life for over 8 weeks.  Hard to believe someone threw these beautiful little lives in a trashcan. 

Basil

 Basil is my little sweetheart.  With her easy going personality she will do well in a home with other pets and children.  She loves to play and then fall asleep in your arms.

Rosemary

Rosemary has lots of personality and is very affectionate.  She's one of those kitties that likes to wrap herself around your neck and have her face very close to your face. 

Sound asleep under my chin.

Tarragon is a fluffy lap kitten.  He is the instigator of playtime and games.  Meow, meow, meow as he calls his sisters to come chase him or discover a new toy.  Affectionate, social and just down right beautiful, he'll be a tough one to let go.
