The 3 little kittens in Thumper's Room are doing great. They are Daymo, Emma Lou and Ida Lou. They came in a little worried about life, but are settling down now and enjoying chin rubs.
We have 7 kittens with our volunteer Martha L. Two of them are already eating good by themselves. Within another 1-2 weeks, the other 5 should also be eating on their own. Then they will come back to the Rescue Center.
We also had another 4 kittens arrive here yesterday, by a friend and webcam viewer, Deb. She found these 4 babies at her work. They are also bottle fed kittens. At the beginning of baby season, we had time to hand feed all these little ones. But, now that we are super busy, there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything. So...these 4 kittens are also placed, but with a REAL CAT MAMA! All are tested and are negative. After they are self-sufficient, they too will make their way back to the rescue center.
I love Thumper's Room. We have had a very healthy spring here with the cats and kittens. I do believe Thumper's Room helps a lot, along with good cleaning. Thumper's Room is our quarantine room. Please note that until kittens and cats are tested, we prefer not to mention these incoming cats and kittens. It's just a safety precaution.
Parking Lot Project/Project Noah--work continues yet today. They are trying to get all the concrete poured by the end of Friday so it can all start curing. Lots to do today and tomorrow. The slope looks great, especially around Kitty City. DUring this construction time, we are not opening the window to their outdoor porch enclosure--too dusy and too scary for them.

Emaline's eye continues to look better every day. Farrah is still seizure-free, even with the reduced PB dose. We will watch and wait for a couple months. Buttons is a lover cat--she needs a home! What a nice girl she is. And she LOVES boxes. Grominique and Macallan are good friends--they like to run together and play hard with each other.
Even the peacocks on our farmyard say: PLEASE get those cats spayed & neutered!
