Last night was the first live afghan auction that we've ever had. Though we didn't have a real auctioneer, it was still a lot of fun! The auction lasted for 9 minutes and then it was a, going once, going twice and the auction was over! The winner of the afghan was Slickieboy and the winning bid was for $780! Can you believe it? It was awesome! Then to top it off, Oilsandgirl made it an even $1,000 by donating $220! What wonderful people!
Today was a very busy day. All the visitors pitched in and helped us do afternoon treatments. We trimmed toenails, cleaned ears, weighed the cats and kittens, caught up on a few vaccinations and wormings and flea preventions. The cats also have received a good amount of grooming. It was great to have so much help. The cats have had tons of attention and TLC, which they have thoroughly enjoyed.
We also had BOXES last night. You are so giving, we are so thankful!

Sorry this is delivered so late on a Sunday night. It's been a hugely busy, very very fun weekend full of friendship and lots of things being done, but it was important to me to get these thanks in. I thank you for caring.
Please remember to vote that very last vote! All the cats are fine. Gallant continues to get his laser treatments. Zelda is also getting laser treatments. We'll see if we can help her front legs to feel better. The kittens are all doing great. Bellies and bodies are growing as is their mobility.
Sweet Weeja--such a very fun girl.
