We need to let you know our sad news. Our little Spencer has passed away. The last 2 days have not been the easiest for him although he did play a bit, purred and certainly enjoyed being loved on. With all his physical problems, we have no idea what was all going on inside of him. He passed away in his sleep, curled up so peacefully with a stuffed toy. I'm thankful he was here where he knew what love was.
The kittens from the back Thumper's Room are now in the Main Area. We had put them in the Cat's Corner Room for a brief time till they were clamoring to get out and explore. The door opened, they spilled out and now are everywhere! Wonderful kittens--Thelma, Bertha, Olle, Christine, Cathy, Roberta, Koda, Frisky, Anthony and Livingston.
We also had 2 adoptions yesterday. They went into seperate homes but the families knew each other very well. Theron went into a home with a mama that will spoil him as he deserves! And Gustave went.....yes, our Gustave that has been here for a whole year, found his home! He will have a cat friend in the family. Both families are very wonderful pet owners.
We also received our Stevie cat from Chillicothe, Ohio. He is an amazing cat! Many thanks to Julie L our volunteer who did the pick up for us. Stevie is a very handsome black/white with a gorgeous face. He is a very mild CH cat. He at times has the Walter head wobble and when he gets excited a slight clumsy gait. Stevie sure loves the ping pong balls and chases and chases them. Friendly boy!
More adoptions coming up! Livingston is doing pretty good. We have a ways to go to really take care of his problems but we are forging ahead.
May I say please this........be kind to one another. Be ready to understand and forgive. There is so much turmoil in this world....let's all be patient with one another and open-hearted. Thank you all too for being a part of this Rescue Center. It means a lot to me.
