Sunday, December 23

Merry Christmas Eve Eve Day! The kitties stockings are hung on the pen doors and I've been hearing a lot of talking among the cats--telling those whippersnapper kittens they must behave so Santa will come by. They heard there's a special breakfast of Turducken IF all felines behave! Lots of good behavior promises are being made!

Our new kitten Sylvia is doing good. Such a loverbug. She's still sleeping alot, but wakes easily to be held. A couple more days and we should have her here in the main rescue center area. She's very pretty. Pania was playing a lot yesterday--saw her with her noisy balls in the hallway again. Engelina is here on the desk with me--she seems to be placing that front left leg of hers a bit better these last few days. What a gentle girl she is--loves to be petted. Her softness is incredible.

We had two more adoptions yesterday! Our wonderful Rudy went to his new home with Shelley H and family. I do believe he will fit right in and be a happy boy. I'm sure we'll be seeing pictures of him on facebook. Our sweet Pants also found a home. A young man came in looking for a kitten for his wife for Christmas. She so wanted a gold tiger with white feet that was very loving. Pants fit the bill.He actually picked the man and fell asleep in his arms! So sweet.

We had BOXES last night and lots of envelopes too. Thank you ever so much for these gifts.

Update on Gallant: This cat amazes me. His patience is huge, his heart is big and his tolerance to his treatments is amazing.After talking to the vets again yesterday, it was decided to add a second antibiotic to his daily treatments. We continue to soak/softly scrub his burns twice daily. This is followed by a slathering of burn ointment 3-4 times daily. Today when he had his bath, the big ugly black section is starting to loosen up. This is a good sign. Each day, the dead tissue will be clipped away. I could see a little pink tissue under this area! The scrotal area is still very swollen and sore, but time will help with this as well. He has definitely earned his name of Gallant.

Today is my family's Christmas day!

Derecho and me sharing a matching jammie-time!
