Tweeny and Peverley made it to their Colorado home! Pam called and said that she and Rich arrived safely with the cats. Good, now I can relax! It sounds like both Tweeny and Peverley were already settling in nicely. I'm so glad. Just love those wonderful homes for our kitties!
Purresa is now in Dodger's Pen. Hopefully, she'll be well acclimated to the rescue center before her kittens arrive. We let her out last night and she did pretty good. Seemed relaxed. We'll "practice" again today! I had a talk with her and asked if she could produce a few different looking kitties--maybe purple, green, red??? Easier to adopt. She said she'd think about it!
Flare is now in Patience's Pen. I don't believe he's been around too many other cats as he seemed uncomfortable with any cat close to his pen. But, today, that seems to be getting better already. We'll help him relax. He loves the Yeowwww catnip bananas!
Queenie is sure enjoying herself. She loves to play--a real kitten at heart. Cutie loves the big white tub to sleep in--she curls right up in it. Macallan and Cyrilla are here on my desk sleeping head to head. Zelda was here, but didn't want to share with them. Pansy Mae was in the outdoor enclosure yesterday a lot--she thoroughly enjoyed watching the bird feeders.
I want to thank everyone for the lovely birthday gifts, cards, e-mails, posts, etc. that made my birthday so extra special yesterday. I truly appreciate it. I hope when each and everyone of you have your birthdays, that you have an awesome day!
Good news--the construction guys are here. Mr. Barth is feeling better. They worked in Kitty Kastle yesterday and started preparing for the installation of the shower. They got a lot done and will be back today. We talked about the Storage Room and they are all set on that also!
We had BOXES and ENVELOPES last night!
