We are so happy to announce that our two pairs of kitties have been adopted! Pallas and MK Fisher went together, which is wonderful for the best buds they are. Apple Pie and Sundae, brother and sister, also were adopted together. It always makes my heart sing when bonded kitties can go to the same home. Cats are so much more social than most people think, and their social bonds are so important. Thank you to adopters June (Pallas and MK) and Scott (Mr. Pie and Sundae)!

Two pairs of kitties for adoption
We currently have two pairs of kitties for adoption: Pallas and MK Fisher, and Apple Pie and Sundae
Pallas and MK Fisher
These two are not related, but they are BFFs. Pallas is probably about 2, and MK is likely 3 or 4 years old. MK helped raise Pallas’s kittens, and they really are besties – they snuggle together, eat together, groom each other, and are happier together. Pallas is the boss, and MK seems to take great comfort in that. Pallas is confident and opinionated; MK is very social by nature, but slow to trust humans.
Apple Pie and Sundae
These siblings were born on August 8 and given just a couple of months to live, so they came to my house for hospice care. But they didn’t like that plan, and refused to get worse. Instead they grew, constantly improving and getting stronger. Now they are over 6 months old and thriving! They have been okayed for adoption by two veterinarians. They are sweet, snuggly, energetic and playful.
If you are interested in meeting any of these kitties, contact me about a home visit. You can also visit 9LivesRescue.org/adopt and fill out an adoption application.
Update: MK Fisher
MK Fisher has a new foster life with Pallas and her kittens. She lived in a big popup in their room for several weeks, got to know them, and really wanted to join the kittens! It was hard for her to be so close to them but not be able to take care of them. But Pallas and kittens were struggling with giardia, and we didn’t want MK to be exposed to that. As soon as they were over their health issues, though, she got her wish to live with the kittens! MK Fisher loves the kittens. She grooms them, snuggles with them, and plays with them.
MK Fisher and Pallas share the food dish, but Pallas is 100% the boss.
She is the best auntie, and yet at times she seems to get a bit rough – bite too hard. I never worried too much, though, because Pallas is always on the job. Her protective instincts are never “off,” and she is 100% the boss in that room. And over several weeks, MK and Pallas have been forming a great friendship.
Welcome MK Fisher
MK Fisher is a lovely, sweet kitty who is a classic tabby and also bit of a mystery. What I know about her is that she had kittens who died for unknown reasons. She loves kittens. Currently she is living in a small popup in the same room as Pallas and her four kittens, and MK Fisher would love to come out and be with the kittens. I don’t have a good photo of her because she doesn’t like to come out of her cave when I’m in the room – unless the kittens are near. If the kittens are out she will come out and chirp to them.
Updates, May 2023
And suddenly it’s almost half-way through 2023. Wow. So much has happened since my last post, with, among other things, 20 foster cats here in a “temporary” situation that became something of a nightmare and went on far too long.
Here’s a quick synopsis, the highlights, just to bring us to today.
Leo and Snow were adopted, and – last I heard – they were reveling in their new person and their new home and new lives. So happy for them!
We’re now down to 8 foster cats. Still too many, but it’s manageable. We have:
- Lovie and Jester
- Pallas and her four kittens
- MK Fisher
I’ll be featuring each of them in coming posts!
