Please, vote, vote, vote! Oh my, this voting race gets tighter and tighter every day.I do believe I have 5 more grey hairs because of it! I thank each and every one of you for your votes. This is the kind of race that we can't let slip by us. Please make sticky notes to remind you to vote! Ask people to help us by giving us just one more vote! Thanks ever so much for your support. We will always run this rescue center to the best of our abilities--to have happy, healthy cats and to find awesome, loving indoor homes. And to help reduce the cat overpopulation problem by spaying and neutering.
Where did this month go? Hard to believe tomorrow will be February. Each day brings us closer to baby season. Now is the time to get those cats spayed/castrated. If you have a cat that is not neutered yet, or are feeding outside cats, it's important to schedule those surgeries. Cats that give birth in March, can possibly have 4-5 litters before the next winter. Those kittens that are born in March, can possibly have kittens themselves in the late fall. Please...be a part of the solution, not a part of the overpopulation problem.
Doce is growing up! He was playing in the house, had to potty, and RAN to his crate to use the litterbox. What a big boy! He's so darn cute. Here's this 1 pound kitty, playing with my 10 pound cats! He's learning how to behave and mind his manners. He also likes to sleep beside Steve on the couch.
We had BOXES last night! I'm very grateful
