Welcome New Momcat, Roux!

June 30, 2017 by Mr. Academy

Hello, Kitten Academicians!

As you doubtless know, today we welcomed a new pregnant momcat to the Academy. Her name is "Roux" and she will be staying in the Annex until after all the Song and Dance kittens have graduated. She came to us all the way from Ohio! She is super, super friendly and has surely set a record for fastest-to-lap-time.

Some of you might have been expecting a Calico cat that was also coming from Ohio. However, when they both arrived at On Angels' Wings, they found out the calico wasn't pregnant! So it's fortunate Roux had come along as well! The calico, named "Pumpkin" because of her stunning orange eyes, will be available for adoption at OAW after her spay.

Before we get to all the photos, some news on other topics:

* Arial and Eva have finally been adopted, together! They will be going to their new home tomorrow, Saturday, July 1st!

* Banjo is being picked up from the Academy by his adopter on Sunday, July 2nd! His new family includes other black cats for him to play with!

* Cello and Mandolin are also being picked up by their adopter on Sunday, July 2nd, at the Academy! They will be living together!

Here's our photos of new momcat, Roux:

And here's some bonus photos we caught today of the Song and Dance kittens!

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!
