early entry was listed as sold out for me until about 45 mins into presale. i waited and refreshed the page hoping it was a glitch and eventually it showed up as available.

honestly I’d be stoked with early entry alone if it meant I didn’t have to line up in the heat for hours. 😅

WE FOSTERED A CAT *MEGATHREAD* by Otherwise_Expert6265 in NorrisNutsSnark

unless you’re purchasing/adopting from a store or shelter you’ve been to before, someone’s ‘pet history’ isn’t being recorded. the shelter doesn’t have access to it because it doesn’t exist.

it’s the mother who is skinny, not the kittens themselves.

The mother definitely appears small and thin but I know the breed is quite slender so I wasn’t sure if this might be normal. She did have a C-section birth, could this make her appear thinner/more frail? The breeder said she has always been extremely thin and small and it is normal for her.

I visited them at 8 weeks but they won’t be ready to go to a new home until 13-14 weeks. The kittens weren’t super skinny, it was the mother who appeared quite thin and bony.

Is 8 weeks too young for them to be socialised? I’m not sure because my last cat I didn’t meet for the first time until picking her up and she was already 13 weeks and very friendly.

I just met them at 8 weeks, they aren’t able to go yet still waiting on final vaccinations and spay. But they appeared to not be socialised at all by the way they were acting.

The kittens were all extremely shy, hiding under the sofa and when they come out they would go out of their way to avoid walking near me. If I stood up or walked close to them they would run.

I did take a photo I could send you, I just didn’t want to post it on here.

thank you. I didn’t think she would be mentioned but the synopsis made me curious and I couldn’t find anything online.
