Bondi is an real sweetie. She gained 6 ounces just yesterday. Isn't is interesting, by just having food available, what a difference it makes. So sad for her to have gotten into the condition she was in. We is craving human contact, so we may move her to Patience's Pen today so she can be close by.
The 12 kittens are running crazy. They are crazy, silly and high energy. Purresa's kittens are certainly entertaining. They are stronger and more playful. The 5 kittens of Shaling's still sleep alot but are starting to play with each other's feet and tails. They still have their blue eyes.
Putter is feeling better. He had a rough couple days after his dental, but he's back to being Putter. Emaline's sore above her eye is doing much better--we're making progress with her new ointment.
We had BOXES last night. Remember that song that I like so well--Lean on Me? I found a saying that goes along with it that I love. It's "I'll lean on you and you lean on me and we'll be okay". Wanted to share that!

We also heard from the GiveLitter coordinator! We will receive our giant load of litter later this month. This will help us tremendously. Thanks for your votes to make this possible.
I wanted to explain to you all what is going on with the parking lot and Kitty City. As you may know already, this spring has brought severe flooding problems to Kitty City. It will become inches deep with not very much rain. The contractors looked at it and we are in danger of this building becoming permanently damaged. We had a lot of work done inside Kitty City last year that could possibly be damaged to the point of not being able to repair it. Because of the water problem, this building has sunk--it is now 4 inches below the ground area. Barth's is the construction company we have been working with. They are willing to start the parking lot project, even though we do not have the funds to pay for it yet. I had hopes of doing the parking lot in 3 sections due to the cost. But because of the Kitty City problem and the way they have to do the drainage, it must all be done at the same time. So, they and we are stepping out in faith that we can do this! The Catathon will help alot and they are patient in being paid. So......before the next rain comes, they are starting this project today. The 3 drain basins and the long line of drainage pipes are being laid. Last week they already drilled under the road and laid a drain pipe to the river. The rain water will then flow straight into the river. All water will then be able to flow away from the Kitty City. The other reason for cement is that we pay an enormous amount of money every year to have the parking lot restoned, due to the heavy volume of traffic. This will be a huge help to FFRC and Kitty City.
Boomer and Dixon hard at play!
