Thursday, December 12

We now have the Running of the Cats here in the Rescue Center. The laser light can get about 15 of them running and running and running. The funny thing is, on the cam, you cannot see the red dot, so it just looks like the cats are running amuck.  What fun! 

What an awesome day so far! We have had two adoptions already today, starting at 6:15 am. The first one to leave was little sweet Callen. That kitten has so much love to give--he can not get enough or give enough--it just oozes out of him! He went to a home of 5 people--lots of love to give. The second one was our wonderful Kukster! He went to a home with another young adult cat and a mom/dad. They already love him and Kukster sure did show that he likes them very much here at the center. Good news!

We had BOXES last night. We are so grateful for your support.

Wanda, our beautiful artist friend also sent in another $200, for 4 more orders! You folks are keeping her busy!

Kiko is busily trying to bury a plate of food. He obviously doesn't like it. All the toys in a 7 foot circle are being pushed over to the plate and piled on top of the plate. Pania is sniffing and examining a spot of snow that came in on someone's shoe. Melia is licking the snow now! Turtle reached out to our visitor just now and patted him for attention. Meowzer is now trying to pull the toys off of the plate so she can have some lunch! These cats....always making me laugh! 

We took in a new kitten yesterday. She was an "I found her on my porch and don't want her" type of kitten. A real beauty. She's about 13 weeks old, black/white, so very thin. She's been tested, vaccinated and is starting on her way to having an FFRC belly! No name yet, but soon.

Our Christmas tree is up, or I should say upside down! We hung our upside down Christmas tree yesterday. It's beautiful. It has lights and ornaments. We had fun putting it together. The cats are worried though--how is Santa going to put Christmas presents around the tree when it's hanging from the ceiling? I told them not to worry! They've been good kitties and will get a special Christmas breakfast! 

All is well here. The kittens enjoyed watching the little bit of snow that we got, from the Kitty Kabana windows. We have those wonderful bird feeders there too so it's quite entertaining. 

Such a pretty girl--Emily.
