Spice Kittens

On Angel's Wings saved momcat Victoria Sponge Cake and her three kittens Biscuit, Toffee, and Pudding, and one other lone kitten named Crumpet from high-kill shelters, and sent them to the Kitten Academy on June 21st 2016. The kittens all seemed to have fleas and got flea baths, and Crumpet also had an eye infection that also got treatment. They all stayed in the Kitten Academy Annex for a couple days, then moved to the main room.

Two days later on June 23rd 2016 three more kittens were added to the class: Cobbler, Custard, and Shortcake! These three were littermates, however did not have a momcat. They were a super affectionate group, and got along with the other kittens almost right away. They also had some fleas, and got flea baths upon arrival as well.

Vikki had a case of mastitis and had to go to the vet for two nights on June 26th, she got treatment and recovered quickly, even eventually nursing her kittens again! Vikki, Pudding, Biscuit, and Crumpet had their graduation surgeries on July 8th, and returned to Kitten Academy to recover. Pudding already had an interested adopter, and was picked up on July 10th. Vikki, Biscuit and Crumpet went to On Angel's Wings that same day to be adopted there or at upcoming adoption events. Crumpet was adopted a couple days later, on the 14th, and Biscuit was also adopted later that month.

    Toffee, Cobbler, Custard, and Shortcake stayed at Kitten Academy for a few more weeks so they could gain more weight, and to address an ongoing diarrhea issue. The Spice Kittens joined the group in the main room in mid July, and the groups had fun playing with each other. The Spice Kittens especially loved Toffee, and snuggled and comfort nursed on him! The English Dessert kittens were also given some time to explore the rest of the house, and meet the faculty cats.

on July 29th, The Dessert kittens all got a fecal culture, which diagnosed them for mild cases of feline coronavirus and campylobacter jejuni, which they were given treatment for. The kittens were much healthier just a couple of weeks, and were ready for their graduation surgeries which were on August 19th.

Many fans wanted Toffee to stay at Kitten Academy as faculty, however Toffee had an adopter already, and was picked up on August 27th. However, Mr A and DJ did discuss keeping Custard as faculty, as he was DJ's favorite. They decided to give him a chance to get adopted, along with Cobbler and Shortcake, at an OAW adoption event at Petsmart on August 28th. At the event, Cobbler was adopted, and Custard came home with Mr A permanently as a new addition to the Faculty! Shortcake stayed at OAW for a couple more days, then was adopted on the 31st along with Spice Kitten Nutmeg.

In September, Kitten Academy was featured on a Japanese program called "Toko Dogo", which showed a video of Toffee pawing at the glass door, of the main room! The program called this movement "Shaka Shaka", and it has become a part of the Kitten Academy lexicon ever since. They also showed an interview with Mr A, and Toffee's adopter. Vikki was still at OAW during this time, but was finally adopted on October 17th.
