We had another adoption!  Olle was  adopted by Jazmyne Raven, a viewer who has adopted from us in the past. She and her husband adopted Ichobod, Screech, Scott and Corby.  Olle made himself right at home! Ichabod is Olle's caretaker! Sounds like Olle is a perfect match!

And we had 2 more adoptions!  Frisky and Keanu were adopted together on Friday. . I've already heard from them. They love watching the squirrels and all the fun of having a patio door! Frisky likes to help sweep the floor. Keanu is now called Sparkey! Sounds like they are super loved!

And we now have an update on Gustave! He is doing great. He is playful, likes the couch and loves to explore. We're told Gustave is a happy cat! 

Little Tiyani has graduated himself out of the playpen! He simply decided on Sunday afternoon that he's had enough of that and crawled out! He's doing great and has been exploring. A really sweet boy.

Winston is now in the Main Area and has no intentions of going back to Thumper's Room. His favorite place to nap is on the Princess Bed by the windows.  Merlee Jo has come up part of the time in the morning. What a beauty! Stevie is still half up and half in the back! He seems to be settling in and finding the proper way to play, without being too rough. He's a smart boy!  Lucia is a doll---she loves to be petted and comes forward when we go into the back Thumper's Room. 

Sounds like a Flash Sale coming up---we have lots of really neat items! More later.

Saturday we had a great event. We had a table at the Farmer's Market. Many thanks to our volunteers who was able to make this possible.  We made $230!!  A big help! 

We have taken on two new kittens this weekend.
Mandisa--a brown tiger/white with 4 white feet, female was found in a volunteer's garage. This little girl has earmites and had fleas. Fleas are gone and we are aggressively working on those earmites. Her birthday is 5/15/16 and she is 12 weeks old. She looks alot like Frisky that was just adopted. Her name is a Name a Cat name. 

Todd----a long hair gold/white, male was found hanging out at Defiance College campus. His fur is rather straggly right now but I think will grow to be a full set of long hair.  He simply cannot get enough pettings. He even purred and kneaded when his blood was drawn! He's a bit thin and had a single tick on him. He has a rather large umbilical hernia which we will watch until we can have that fixed. He also will need his left eye removed--actually the eye is gone but needs to have the orbit surgically cleaned out and closed. So, Todd has 3 surgeries ahead of him---his neuter, hernia repair and eye enucleation. 

We have 4 1/2 weeks to go to Catstock!
