Merri (the rescue lady from New York) will be having two adoption events at Pet Supplies Plus in Ronkonkoma in NY, on Long Island. These will be on July 27th and August 10th. She is hoping to find more homes from where our Jersey and Merri came from. If you live in that area, please stop in and see her. Spread the dates and this event to push for adoptions!
We spent quite a bit of TLC time with Merri and Jersey yesterday. I do believe Merri is relaxing a bit. She can purr! Jersey is still unsure of himself and truly reaches out to Merri for comfort. So heart-warming to see this. He will literally reach out and put his paws on her. Slowly, slowly, we'll pull them into our circle.
Rachet and Sarah are here laying snug together, side by side.Zelda is sleeping on the desk. Kukster is doing great--he climbs everywhere now and plays with all the toys in the center. Weeja is absolutely beautiful and is told this daily! Titoes still has slight congestion, but is feeling stronger each day. The 4 kittens that win the Loudest Purr contest for today is Melia, Malia, Bix and Bixley!
We took in 5 new kittens very early this morning. Someone dumped a box at the very edge of the road by the driveway. It's truly a wonder that the box wasn't bashed by a car during the night. We tested them already and they are negative. So tiny though. Probably about 4 1/2 weeks old. It makes me sad to think about the mama--where is she and what is she thinking about her missing kittens. People sometimes don't think about this--she knows very well today that her babies are missing. Please, whoever dumped the kittens, get that mama spayed. They are grey (male), grey tiger (male), 2 blacks (males) and one brown tiger (female). All very friendly and will come toddling to the hand already. One of the little black boys has a very very crooked tail--similar to Ming's tail. Names will come soon, from the Catathon Name a Future Cat List.
If you are looking for a low cost spay/neuter clinic in our area, here are two numbers: Fort Wayne, In on Maycrest Drive, 260-420,7729 and Perrysburg, Oh 419-266-5607. These are great prices, well worth the gas money and they do a fine job. Please, please spay and neuter your cats. People tell me all the time....but it's just a stray, it's not mine. My next question answers it all--who is feeding it? If you are feeding it, it's YOUR cat. Please spay or neuter your cat. There's still time this summer, as some of these females can still have 2 litters yet before winter. And remember, those kittens that were born in March can have litters themselves come fall time. Do this please, for the sake of saving lives.
The sleepy kitty gang!
