Thursday, April 5

Our 2 surgery dentals from yesterday did great. Kiara had 2 teeth removed--a pre-molar and a molar, both on the lower jaw.  When Joline arrived in May 2013, she had severe teeth problems which resulted in most of her teeth needing to be pulled, which we did. This helped tremendously with her stomatitis. She now has had her remaining 4 teeth removed. Both cats are doing wonderful and are on oral antibiotics and soreness meds. Both are eating just fine today. 

We had BOXES last night. I am very grateful for what you do for this Rescue Center.

Today is a Mini Flash Sale!  It starts at 1:00 (actually I'm told at 1:01pm!!).  There will be a bigger Flash Sale sometime soon. 

There it is again....that gentle tap, tap, tap on my leg. That would be Hensley again. He does this often. That means he wants in my lap while I'm at my desk. He always promptly takes a nap! 

Mendy, Fatima and Franklin are such playfriends--they love to do this race-thing everyday. Back and forth--it's so interesting to watch the interactions of cat play. Polly is doing so wonderful. She's very comfortable now in her surroundings. Will probably be staying in the Main Area soon even for night time. She loves to have her head rubbed.  Next Weds. is another surgery day at the vet's office.  Abe and Asha will be going up for their dentals. Vivienne will also be going with them for her FHO--femoral head ostectomy.  She's doing good but this surgery will prevent problems for her as she gets older in regards to that hip. 

Azar has been here almost every morning for his breakfast. He is such an awesome cat and so very tall and big! The Porchies are doing great. The FireCats are also doing good. They love their FireHouse. On the first of the month, we were able to get 90% of Frontline on the Porchies, Covies, FireCats and Barnies.  We do Frontline for May and June because of ticks.
