We also took in a full blooded persian yesterday. She's a dilute calico (cream, grey and white) and is a year old. She has her fur cut pretty short, but it'll grow out and show off her beauty. Her name is Dollianna. Such a sweet girl.
We also took in a stray cat that's been hanging out at a volunteer's neighborhood. This is a young, big male cat--probably only 8 months old. He's grey tiger & white. (He looks a lot like Peterson.) His name is Azar, for Azar Big Boy restaurant. He is one nice boy--loves to be petted, seems to be very laid back.
We also took back 2 cats that belonged to a person that could no longer keep them. Remember, our policy is that if they can no longer keep their pet that was adopted from FFRC, that they must be returned here. I'm always grateful for that being done, if something happens and they no longer can be kept. One is black (Peeps) and one is a long hair torti (Meadow). Both nice cats.
All else is great here. We're down another day of waiting to use the parking lot. I'm almost in to counting the seconds! Can't wait to use the parking lot again. It looks good and with this wonderful weather, I'm sure it's drying quicker.
Preakness is rolling on the rug beside me, with a Yeowww catnip rainbow under her chin. We gave a bath today to both Penn and Teller. Their fur looked like they needed another bubble bath. Queenie is laying on the desk with me. Pansy Mae spent the night in the house--she LOVES being in there. She'll be a wonderful house cat for her upcoming adoption! Buttons needs a home--she would also be another great couch loving cat!
We had BOXES last night. It's simply amazing the support you all show. It's astounding to me and I'm very grateful.

From the Cats--a Mother's Day card!
On the shelf by Dodger's Pen, there are 5 cats lined up shoulder to shoulder, watching the bird feeders. Such good friends! It's interesting to see as the sunlight travels around the inside of the Rescue Center, how the cats move their nap areas to follow that sunbeam.
The 6 baby chicks that we are raising, have to come inside each evening till the nights get warmer and bigger feathers come in. The peep-peep from these chicks is very interesting to the kittens. All ears forward! Bondi is holding her own. She loves to lay on the cat furniture and always responds with a chirp for us. Sure would like to know her past history.
Oh what fun it is in the Rescue Center!
