I've been asked several times lately about Zelda. Yes, she is still limping. This is something that will always plague her. Remember when she first came here, she was bone thin and stuck between a store wall and a cement block wall. She tried so hard to get out by herself, to the point where she made sores on her hips. She was also seen "waving" her front legs, trying to get herself out. It has left her with a permanent soreness in her front shoulder/elbow area--poor baby. Or.......is this her way, that she thinks I will feel extra sorry for her so that I adopt her?!! I do love her so, but would still like to see her have her very own home.
Don't forget to vote today! It's a very important day for the Covies! They are all so hyped up--they've been awake all night long trying to say who is going to be the Mayor of the Covies. I saw their light on in the Cove and could hear them yakking away all night. Such excitement. They're expecting me to put on a big banquet for them too! It's simple to vote--go to the facebook chatter's page and put your vote in! The poles are open!
We had a report from Petfinder's yesterday. The 12 cats that had the most views were: Badu, Coca-Cola, Engelina, Cyrilla, Octavia, Frith, Audrey, Weber, Christopher, Boulder, Kiwi, Roadinia. Badu consistently is in the top views--who knows, maybe we'll find the perfect home for her yet!
We had BOXES last night--lots of boxes and lots of fun. Thank you ever so much for your support. It truly means a lot to me and this rescue center.

We have an appointment for Dove tomorrow at the vet's office, with a probable surgery time slot saved for her. One toe and 2 partial toes are having some trouble healing and not looking very good on her front right foot. We will see what the vets say tomorrow. She's not feeling too good yesterday which was the indicator that her toes were bothering her. We'll keep you posted. Her sutures from her left leg amputation will come out on Sunday.
Betz, Frith and Tizzie are all following Liberty who is dragging around a feather toy. They all certainly know how to have fun. One of the biggest compliments I love to hear from visitors is how they notice (for the most part) the friendship among the cats. Christopher and Pants are bopping each other right now on the leopard bed--each wanting to lay on it. Drake and Court are playing with the turbo track ball toy. There's 4 cats on the red shelf overlooking the bird feeders--a favorite spot. There...now Christopher and Pants are both laying on the leopard bed!
Our beautiful Audrey--it's hardly possible to tell that she had been burned. Such a healthy kitty now!
