Home for the Holildays?

It was sort of a good news/bad news kind of week for Simon and Sassafras. The vet clinic the shelter uses for spay/neuter surgeries was short-handed, so they weren't able to get their surgeries last week as planned. They will now have to get them next week, which also delays their being available for adoption to a permanent home. The good news was that they got to spend their last week at my house having fun instead of recovering from surgery.

Both of the kittens were doing well when I took them back on Thursday. Simon was well over four pounds, and Sassafras was right at four pounds, give or take an ounce or two in either direction (he wouldn't sit still on the scale). They spent a lot of their last week at my house playing with a laser light toy they both went bananas over.

Simon remains the most outgoing and playful, but they both warm up pretty quickly to new people and are adorably sweet. Despite the delay in their being available for adoption, I think there's still a good chance both of them will have a home before Christmas.
