Wednesday/Cha-cha
ADOPTED!
Wednesday was rescued from a Hikone TNR site, and came to JCN on October 4, at around 5 weeks of age. She came from a group of 9 kittens
rescued, and it's unclear which of the kittens are siblings. Wednesday is very
friendly and affectionate little tortoise shell. She had some upper respiratory
symptoms with eye discharge, when rescued, and the sight in one of her
eyes may be permanently impaired. However, she is active, and this impairment does not cause her problems in getting around. Gretel was adopted in Tokyo, on 11/13/2009.

"So far I have only one short video clip of them playing. They move
around so much; also ChaCha is still a bit skittish (and wary of humans
bearing strange objects like cameras). But will try. They sleep in our
layers of futon and blankets with us, so perhaps I can get a sleeping
shot."
12/14 "Mission accomplished: they've both successfully used the litterbox."

"We're keeping downstairs for now, in the warm part of the house and
away from the ongoing repair work upstairs. Wednesday is still a little
skittish, but [Hansel] is already playing and curling up with us. We're
trying out the names ChaCha and CoCo—tea and coffee—respectively.
Neither has used the litterbox yet (that I can tell) but they both have
healthy appetites."
12/13 "The kittens were absolutely quiet for
the whole trip. Amazing. Now they're exploring and mewing. A little
frightened and disoriented, I imagine."
