We had another adoption yesterday. FiFi went home with Pat, our volunteer. I was extremely happy for both Pat and FiFi. We've already had a phone call and it appears that FiFi is settling in very quickly and enjoying the exploration of her new home. What a joy to know that FiFi now has her forever home. We will quite possibly have a few adoptions today! We have quite a few different cats and kittens being looked at. I'm a bit picky where they go and that's an okay thing. I try very hard to place them in homes that will be their forever homes, and that has time and much love for each of their pets.
Today or tomorrow we will be moving the Covies. It's time. We have never had such a nice long fall where they've still been in the Cove mid-December. But, they're ready to come up. They've had 2 run-abouts on the farm yard this week. Next week, it looks like a cold front coming in, so we want to make sure our Covies are warm. Kitty City is all ready for the 17 cats to come. All we have to do is plug in their heated beds and heated water bowls.
We had BOXES last night! Wow--such wonderful things. You all take good care of this rescue center and I appreciate this.

Again, if you come across a mistake in the blog, don't ever hesitate to let me know! I'm always willing to make corrections.
Jimmy is feeling better and will be back today. Thanks to Anthony for pitching in during Jimmy's absence. FIndlay is here by my desk--such a handsome boy. He's now fully ready for his new home. Coca-cola is on the desk--the cause of my errors as he's playing with my fingers! Zelda is napping quietly beside the desk. What a great working atmosphere!
We've received our weekly report from PetFiners. We had a total of 2,122 total views this past week. The top 12 cats that were viewed are: Zora, Badu, Frith, Audrey, Christopher, Weber, Octavia, Boulder, Engelina, Graciela, Coca-Cola, Pants. Wow! I want to apologize--I had said on the chat that it was Christopher that came in #1 this week, but it was Zora!
We will have boxes tonight! Thank you that we CAN have boxes! Everyone is doing great. Dove continues to feel better--is purring, eating and moving about a little more.
Gib--"I'm ready for a hug!"
