Song and Dance Graduation!

July 02, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

Although the kittens in the current class will be graduating at different times, we've decided to include them all in yesterday's graduation photo shoot.

As you know, Banjo, Mandolin, and Cello will all be adopted and leaving the Academy today! Lute is still waiting for an officially approved adopter - but once one is approved, he's also ready to go!

Kazoo, Waltz, Foxtrot, and Cha-Cha are waiting another week or so before they will have their Graduation ceremony (i.e. spay/neuter and such).

If you're interested in any of the kittens, be sure to get your applications in to On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL. You can find the application here.

We expect to get regular updates from Banjo, Mandy, and Cello - so today's not a "goodbye" as much as it's a "see you later!"

As usual, here's all the rest of the photos from the shoot. There were a lot of good ones this time - they're a photogenic bunch!

Fiddle and Song Graduation!

June 21, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Greetings, Kitten Academicians!

As you no doubt are aware, Fiddle and Song are being adopted together - today! Their adopter has made the long drive from New York state, and will be dropping by at some indeterminate time this evening to pick them up, and drive them back to their new home!

We'll try to give some warning on Twitter when the moment is near, but don't worry if you miss seeing it live - we'll be sure to archive it!

Even though they're going earlier than the rest of the class, we didn't want to leave them out of graduation photos, so we've done a very tiny photo shoot to capture the moment.

Just a quick note of unrelated news; DJ has been working on redesigning parts of the website, and we expect those changes to go live this weekend - so look forward to that!

Song and Dance!

June 14, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

As you no doubt are aware, we've had four new arrivals since DJ and Mr. A returned from vacation! First, let's introduce the new characters:

We have plans to integrate the new kittens with Song's "Squints" - Kazoo already is getting along pretty well with them and spends most of his time in the main room with them. On Thursday the 15th, Song and Fiddle will be going for their spay/neuter. At that time, we'll bring the dance kittens into the main room with the rest of the Squints. When Song and Fiddle return, they'll be placed in the Annex while they recover. After that, we'll "play it by ear."

Although applications are already coming in to On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake for these kittens, if you find yourself falling in love with one, don't hesitate to put in your own application. It often happens that an approved applicant falls through and a kitten goes to a second or third applicant instead. At the very least, by having an application on file, you can be first in line to adopt a future cat or kitten.

Before we leave you with the rest of the photos from the photoshoot, let us say that JimmyD and JennyD did a superlative job of running the Kitten Academy while we were on vacation! We enjoyed watching them while we were out of the country and JimmyD did a brilliant job with the nightly streams! We hope we can continue to provide the same level of quality that he did. And hopefully, he'll return from time to time as a guest host!

Introducing Song's Quintet!

April 27, 2017 by Mr. Academy in Cheatsheet

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

Before we dive into the details of the newest Kitten Academy class, a few things we'd like to get out of the way:

As of right now, Latte and Arial are still looking for adopters! Contact On Angels' Wings in Crystal Lake, IL to apply.
The contest to help with suggestions for Sarah Donner's (PG-13 Link!) upcoming music video for Kitten Academy is closed now, but we expect it will take some time for us to parse through all the wonderful suggestions, and for Sarah to decide what she'd like to do!
We're still getting some questions about Angel - we apologize for not properly explaining the situation. We briefly addressed it in last night's close-up stream, just a few minutes in. The short version is, she's gone home to be with her owner, and we think it's good!

So, as most of you doubtless know by now, on Tuesday the 25th, our latest Kitten Academy class arrived! Song was picked up by the Logan County Animal Control about a week prior. They send out notices to shelters all over Illinois, and once a week, transport animals that the shelters are willing to take. Song was pregnant when Logan County Animal Control picked her up, but delivered her kittens on Tuesday the 18th, while she was still there.

That's everything we know about her history!

Here's your cheat-sheet:

As usual, here's the remainder of the photos from the shoot:
