Saturday, March 31

We are now hooked up to CAUSES--it's an exciting place for people to take action around an issue that you may care about. Check it out at:

Remember, something neat is being offered to us for the month of April! More info tomorrow! I'll keep you posted.

Starting the week of 4/16, the World's Best Cat Litter and their GiveLitter program, will launch another program. They tell us we were among the top nominees for the January promotion! In addition they will provide 25 adoption kits for new pet owners to us! More also on this later.

Wow--we have had lots of public visitors and camviewer visitors these last few days. There were 6 of us who went to lunch together Friday, which was very nice! As of today, all of these friends are either going back to their homes or have already made it home. What fun we've had and the cats have thoroughly enjoyed all the attention.
Our webcam viewers that were here for visiting also helped do some work for us (helped with kitty bathing time, paper punched and put reinforcers on holes of health records, put together 20 more adoption bags to name just a few things they helped with!). Webcam visitors were: Laurie/felinetoyz, Deb/deb11111, Michlynn and Ad861/Ann.

Purresa and kits are wonderful--she's a very contented mama and doesn't mind us showing her babies to the webcam now and then. The Wee3 and Fab4 are wonderful, silly and fun! They are out of their room several times a day--now they're playing more with each other. We have the big red shoe in their room and they LOVE it! Climbing all over it and sleeping inside it.

We took in a new cat yesterday. He apparently had been in a yard for 3 days. He's a handsome medium hair black/white, about 9-10 months old, already neutered. A real sweetie. He's in Thumper's Room for yet a couple more days. His name is Maximilian. He loves to be petted and have his ears rubbed.

We had BOXES last night! Many thanks for this help to the Rescue Center.

We also showed on cam, a picture of Puff, who is Betz's cat. Puff is 19 years old. Amazing and such a beauty!

Thanks to these volunteers yesterday: Judy S, Stacey, Sigrid, Connie D, Jean, Paul and Linda. You are all super! Angel Kisses is learning to climb, and she's doing a fine job of it! She's putting more weight on that rear foot and keeping the knuckles in place better. Her hip also isn't as wobbly as it was! She's making progress! Yesterday, Putter was again way at the top of the yellow tower, sleeping on the big bed up there. It's amazing that he can do this. He always seems so proud.
