Life is great! As with humans, all of our personalities are so different. Same with cats! We know these cats here and want so much for each to find the right home for them. We know Canton needs a home where there is great love to give--she takes love and she gives love. Whisk doesn't like to be carried about but he loves to be petted. He'd also sleep on the bed with his family! Emma Jo would need someone that doesn't mind her being on the counter--she has a need to see what's going on all the time! Emily--she needs a petter, big time. She requires at least a thousand pets a day! They're all so different which is something to appreciate.
We had an adoption yesterday. Venus went with her new family. She is going to be one loved on cat! The little girl who Venus is specifically for, is quite a cat lover and Venus recognizes that. A good adoption!
We are in the process of changing our furniture around. The Cat's Cove is in need of furniture as much of the past furniture was in very bad condition. We've been fortunate to have a couple new Kuranda towers that will go in Cat's Cove. Here in the Rescue Center, we've been able to get a very good discount on 3 Activity Center Towers. They're very nice and they're very easy to keep clean. The furniture that was removed from the Rescue Center will go to Cat's Cove! A good thing as it will give the Covies some new furniture for them. We are looking to move the Covies soon. We need some warmer temperatures. We'll water blast it, then dry it out for a day and get it all ready! It's always exciting to move the Covies. We love those Covies!
We had BOXES on Friday evening. Super big thanks to you!

Whitney & Jenni--from Cincinnati--disinfectant wipes, can food, cat snackers, soap--there were actually many items, but their gifts were put away before I could write them all down. But they really helped us refill our shelves. They LOVE Derecho and so enjoyed all the cats and kittens.
We enjoyed all of our Saturday visitors so much! And so did the cats! We try very hard to keep track of who brought what so proper thanks can be given. I'm so sorry if we've made any errors. Please don't hesitate to email me and let me know!
Coralie is here beside me giving herself a good grooming! Alma is out and about--she is so so determined to do things HER way! Love it. Derecho can now easily get up on the low shelf to watch the birds at close range. Navi has made friends with all the cats--what a sweet girl she is. Many times during the day we leave the door open to Dodger's Pen so Jemima can go in and out. If you clump her babies together now, they about equal the size of their mama!
Yes, we are aware that Walter has been doing alot of circling lately. It's nothing to worry about. It's part of his how his brain is wired. Right now we're just observing. We're also know that Magenta has been falling more lately. Oh my garsh, we so love this oldster. We always pick her up, give her lots of hugs and let her be herself. We try to protect her but it's impossible to 100% of the time. She's a wonderful cat.
They did it! The best breakfast ever! The Dora Explorer's ate their breakfast by themselves! They will no doubt still need some syringe feeding the next couple days, but we're almost there for self-feeding! Many many thanks to both Kathy and Joni. Other than the breakfast that I feed them, they have taken total food care of these 5 babies and have done a marvelous job. When they walk in the room, all 5 kittens cry for them--they recognize them! Wonderful kitties and we're so proud of them! They did it!
Putter would like you all to know that he is feeling better. His appetite has picked up too. He and I are grateful for your concern. Putter keeps asking for me to post something for him. I tried to tell him maybe he needed to reword his thoughts a little, but he's insistent, so here goes: Putter says, "Don't be a sissy. There are plenty of rude, crude, neutered dudes! Join the rank of being neutered!". So.....if you know any intact boys out there, get them neutered!
