The progress on Thumper's Room and the Mail Room continues! Dion now has all the vinyl wall panels up and almost all of the electric outlet covers are now in and hooked up. Today the inside window frames will be put up then it'll be our job to get them painted. Possibly end of next week, the new floor can be started! So exciting. Cannot wait to start using these two much needed rooms!
The six kittens that belong to Dodger's Pen are all cuddled together taking a nice long nap. They are so so tiny, but play so so big! It's hard to believe the friendliness now of the 6 kittens in Thumper's Room. They will now come running to us when we go in. Won't be long until they join the rest of the gang here in the main area. I've seen quite a few of the little kittens on the cat-go-round wheel. It's amazing that they do that!
We had BOXES last night. We are grateful for YOU!

Solee just ran thru the office batting a spring coil in front of her. I do believe she also has springs on her legs. Have never seen a cat jump like her! Weeja is here in the office playing with the DaBird toy--that girl too can jump! Zelda is sleeping on my desk...........again. I think she needs an award for being able to sleep the most of all the cats.
I just wanted to share with you about my cat Feliz. Her whole name is Feliz Navidad Grace Rhoda. Feliz passed away late last night. She arrived here when she was just 11 weeks old. She had been found frozen to the road in an ice storm. From that incident, she has always showed some neurological problems. At the beginning of her time here, during her recovery, she had a few seizures but none since then until the last few days. She was just 3 1/2 years old. Way too young. But in the last few days, her seizures became intense. She was loved so much. We also had set up (and will continue) a special medical fund in her name, the Feliz Navidad Fund, that helps us pay for extra above normal medical problems of other cats. Thank you for caring about Feliz. Please always remember to hug and love on your pets every day.
Today is a wonderful day. It's Farrah and Derecho's birthday! Farrah arrived when she was just 7 weeks old. She was found in a woods by a friend, who actually gave Farrah her name. She is now 4 years old. Derecho turns one today! He also arrived when he was 7 weeks old. He was found in a woodpile, where his mama and siblings had left him as he couldn't keep up with them due to his CH. We are honored to have both of these wonderful cats here as permanent residents. Happy Birthday to our dear Farrah and Derecho. They both received some chicken baby food this morning and later today will share Sardines and a can of real chicken with all their friends. Yesterday was Rory's birthday. He's a Covie and such a handsome guy. Today, he is sharing a gift he received--some extra yummy snackers, with all his friends! Rory arrived when he was 9 months old and he is now 2 years old.
Happy Birthday, Derecho! We love you!
Happy Birthday, Farrah! We love you!
