Thursday, May 30

Grrrr here and Grrrr there. AP is a hoot. She loves my desk and has claimed it, although she does allow Farrah and Zelda rights to it too! Actually, the cats are starting to figure her out--her grrrrrs don't mean a thing! She's a really nice adult cat that loves to be petted and loved on. 

We are truly kitty over-runneth here. There's so so many that needs homes, but the sad fact is there are not enough homes for them. We had said no more kittens can come--we are full. But that didn't last too long. Yesterday, we took in 5 more kittens that would've been euthanized had we not taken them. They are not named yet, but are about 6 weeks old, tested (all negative!), bathed, wormed, capstarred and they happen to be cute. Have you ever seen a kitten that is not cute? Me either! So............truly we are full to overflowing and are praying for homes. This 6 group has medium to long hair--some are black/white and some are Abbott look alikes but with white feet. 

The floor guys were here already today and are done. And I mean DONE! The last coat went on which is the urethane. This coat makes the floor a tiny bit "soft" so it doesn't take scratches as well. We sure do love these epoxy floors--so very tough and looks very nice. We will be able to walk on it on Sunday! Dion will be here on Monday to put on the mop boards. Monday late afternoon, the newly donated refrigerator will arrive and we'll be moving the storage shelves, surgery table, etc. in!

The 7 kittens that consist of the two litters are now in Dodger's Pen. So so sweet. They will get some stretch out time in Kitty Kabana today where they can run and play while their pen is being cleaned. They have four levels in their pen, to give them more space to be kitties! 

Gallant is getting heavy duty work on his last remaining area of his burn. He's getting laser treatments daily and two saline soaks a day--each lasting about an hour. We so want to finish this treatment for him and get him ready to find his own home. He's a wonderful, loving cat.

A cam friend gave me the perfect word for our CH cats, one eye cats, 3 legged cats or any cat that may have a disability--it's "exceptionalities". I love that! We do indeed have exceptionalities here! 

Don't let this cuteness fool you! Judson and Tatiana can be very ornery!
