The 12 kittens in the extended Thumper's Room are doing great. Their little tiny tummies are bulging and round, just how we like them! We are no longer syringe feeding them as they all are eating great. Little Dapper insists on standing in the middle of the plate--all 4 feet in! He still has an odd gait, but certainly keeps up with everyone. If you hear someone crying in the group, it's probably Ivo, wanting more holding, which we accommodate! Such a really nice bunch of babies.
We had BOXES last night. We're very grateful for your kindness.

We have a new kitten. He's about 4 months old. His name is Goose (another Catathon name). He arrived yesterday after a volunteer found him hanging around her porch. He's rather thin, but ever so sweet. Goose will get his bath today. He's already been tested and is negative. Goose looks alot like Zavatar.
Pumpkin, Ginger, Bixley and Kenco are playing with the tunnel here in the office. Zip, they go in, right out the other side and then head back in again. The games they play--so fun to watch!
Wow--we've made some slight progress with Merri and Jersey. This morning I opened their door to their room. About 5 minutes later, Merri comes out and heads back to Kitty Kampus room. She likes it there by the window. Sarah carried Jersey out after a while and he's now in Kitty Kabana, on his favorite bed. He's not hiding, so that's a big improvement. Poor fella--makes me sad to see the fright that shows in him so often. But, I do believe we're gaining some trust from him. He loves his head to be rubbed.
This evening, our 5 college cats will be returned. I'll be anxious to hear their reports, which I'll share with you all. Our next surgery date is August 17, a Saturday. Titoes is doing wonderful--gaining weight every day and is very active!
We have the date for our next Day Sale! It will be Saturday, August 10 at 11:00. This is our first one since way before the Catathon. We're ready! For any newbies, this will be on the kittycam/ustream. Looking forward to it.
Joyful is doing good. I did learn yesterday that she is very much afraid of a fly swatter. Broke my heart when I saw that. She actually seems to be enjoying the visitors' petting, if not overly done! Joline has been enjoying going out into the Welcome Room office to visit Joyful. Maybe cousins?!
I've heard from Ruthie Ann's new family. She is doing good and the family is very patient with her. She's not a lap sitter, but a watcher! They are enjoying her so much I believe they are interested in getting Ruthie Ann a friend (another adult!). We will see soon.
Tatiana--a real sweetie that needs a home.
