Here's the big news. The lady who rescued Fiver from a neighbor, also went and collected the rest of the litter and the mama. These are super sweet kitties. The mama is also a purr girl--so loves to have a hand on her. Of course, all had major flea overload and each required 2 baths. The fleas are gone and will never be a worry again for this litter. They all have a mild URI--upper respiratory infection--but are on antibiotics. They've been tested and are negative. They are thin, but good food will help with that.
We also took in 4 kittens and 1 cat for a fellow rescurer. She is trying to get 3 more of these kittens to bring today. These kittens and cat are feral--have been living in a woods, under poor conditions. We will spay/neuter, test, vaccinate, worm, etc. and then find a good, no, a great farm to put them on where they will never have to worry about their next meal again. This is already in "the works" for finding them a farm home.
We had an adoption yesterday! Our Purrkins went to his new home. He went to a family that came last week and fell in love with him. They had another cat at home that needed to have his annual check up and vaccinations before Purrkins could go with them. This will be a great home for Purrkins.
We have quite a few visitors that will be here at the Rescue Center and staying at Kitty Kastle during the summer. We very much enjoy having people come and stay. It's a joy for us and fun for the visitors. I am so happy to have Kitty Kastle for this purpose. It's a win/win deal. Kitty Kastle has been well received and enjoyed.
Bravo has gained some weight. He is now at 1 pound 11 ounces! He's a good little eater now. Farrah continues to be on her full dose of PB pills for her seizures. We will monitor her for another 2 months since changing the dose. If at that time, all is well, she will again go up for adoption. Jaina is doing awesome--showing no signs at all of her cardio-myopathy.
Martha Ann is one of the sweetest kittens ever. She just melts in your arms. She and Fayth have been playing a lot together lately. Another group of extra loving kittens are Raymond, Raymondo, Faleen, Faleena and Floria--they just purr and purr for people.
I would like to extend a special sympathy to the friends and family of Judy/Gnuby. She passed away last night with her beloved dog beside her. We took in Judy's 2 cats --Meggie and Alphie. Meggie has already been adopted and Alphie got an extra hug this morning, for Judy. I remember when Judy was here, she made it clear that death did not scare her, she knew where she was going.
We had BOXES last night! Thank you ever so much for your generosity.
