Yesterday we had 2 adoptions! Shiloh and her housemate Sage (who we called Byron) went to their new home together! I believe this will be a very good home for these two extra nice adult cats!
We also sent Cyrus to "kitty potty boot camp". Remember, we did this two other times before and met with success. Sometimes, here, we will have a cat that wants to spray--of course, we cannot adopt them out if they spray. Cyrus hasn't been doing this long and so, because he was probably doing this due to his environment, he went to boot camp! He'll be with only a couple other cats, and a family that is willing to help us with this. The other two cats were adopted out successfully. Sometimes getting these cats away from this environment with so many cats is all it takes to encourage them to go back to using the box. He has to show 100% use of litterbox for a couple weeks, then we'll find that perfect home for him! It's a good thing we can offer to cats like Cyrus. This doesn't happen often.

The surgeries from Weds are doing good. The two boys are completely recovered. Lucy Ann ate a good breakfast and Merri even ate. Both have today yet to be on soreness meds. They are getting up and cruising around a bit today. Merri's was a tougher dental.
Rooney and Kit are starting to think about coming up to the Main Area. They now come up to the door that looks into the Main Area and peeks thru the door. Won't be long! Their confidence is building. Yesterday Abe and Bender were sniffing noses--they look so much alike!
Milo is part-nut! Yes--he really is. He loves to play with all the toys, he prances all over and he loves to play with the kitties. One of these days he's going to attempt the climbing pole in the purple office. He will sit there and look up at it over and over again like he's thinking of it. Right now he's tossing fresh catnip into the air!
Alma is doing much better. Poor little girl got constipated to the point where an enema was required. It's taken a few days, but now things are "moving along" and she's feeling much better. That cat amazes me. Her different meow tones lets us know what she wants--it might be a quick help to the litterbox, or to lift her to the upper bed that she likes or maybe to refill her dry food bowl. She's simply amazable for sure!
Janessa is caring for her teeth! She uses the cardboard boxes that arrive to gnaw on. We have had countless boxes that are chewed up from her. She starts at a corner and works her way along the edge. Must be fun for her!
Vernon has started his new med. We have high hopes for this. This particular med was an injection. The last oral meds we gave him wasn't working as it was simply making him sleepy. We didn't like that for a couple reasons--he couldn't be himself when he was so sleepy and it also made him unsafe to be up high. Plus he was still being aggressive. Yesterday he only had two very minor squabbles with Hensley. Today none so far! One injection should last 3 months. Keep your paws crossed for good results. We want an alert, happy Vernon. Love this boy!
We actually only have a few of the kitten size cats that haven't gotten adopted yet. This is the extra exciting time of the year. This is the time when the adults have a higher chance of being adopted!
We are rooting for all of them but especially Tabitha, Neemu, Clarissa, Dorothy, Emily, AJ, and Emmit. Actually, we're rooting for all of them! They all deserve their very own home where they will be loved and appreciated.
Keep an eye open for an upcoming raffle! It'll be a dandy one too!
