Well, we have now heard more of Jack's story. His "auntie" Ronnie called yesterday and filled us in with more information. Apparently Jack made a stop at a condo in 1991 or 1992 and the family ended up keeping him. His mom's name is Ruth. Jack has stayed with Ruth in a semi-care facility for 4 years, but once she went into the full-care, he couldn't stay any longer. Ruth is now 90 years old. His dad loved Jack and would build climbing toys and bouncy toys for him to play with. Ruth and Ronnie will be on the came sometime on Easter to see Jack.

I would like to bring up a subject. Please, when the volunteers are here at the Rescue Center, realize that they may be so busy that they might not have time to chat. Please also don't ask questions like--"Does Jacci know that you're doing that?" or "Did Jacci say to do that?" Most of these volunteers have been here for many years and they know what they're doing! I appreciate that consideration. Again, I realize that 99% of the chatters would never say these things. I always appreciate that you care about our volunteers!
Joni is here as a visitor and is taking on a major painting job. Amy, who is on a school Easter break, is also helping with this project. The Kitty Campus Room is being painted--the colors are Magenta Mist and Cleopatras Gown. (Where do they come up with these names?!!) This room will be our butterfly room!
Our newbie cat, Louis is doing good. He's now out and about and is settling in. Joni took Louis and Willard to Kitty Kastle last night. Both did super good! I've heard again from Micah's mom--all is well. She DOES want a second cat. My choice is for Macallan. She likes orangies and Micah has always been good with Macallan. A good mix!
Our sweet little Bev will be leaving us soon for her new home!
