Yesterday was our HumaneOhio surgery date. We had 40 cats/kittens arrive between 5:30-6:05 am. By 6:25, they were loaded onto the truck and on their way to Toledo. They arrived back here about 6:00 pm and all the owners picked up their cats to take back home. Many of these cats are strays that people are trying to help.
Of the 40 cats, we had 24 females and 16 males. Our total now comes to 399 females and 273 for spays/neuters---a grand total of 672! We want to do more and more. This is so important in preventing all of the overpopulation of cats.
Saturday is our FFRC surgery date. We have some spays/neuters to get done on our own cats here. And we have many physicals too to do.
We have taken on 3 new kittens:
KLAUS--black baby kitten. He was found all by himself with no other littermates or mama. He was only 3 1/2 weeks old and arrived with a few fleas. He's a spunky boy and just now starting to feel stronger. His birthday is 8/18/17. He's eating really good by himself now. Such a sweet baby.
RHULANI--brown tiger. His name means PEACE which is so important. This youngster arrived at 11 weeks old. His birthday is 6/21/17. He arrived after being found by himself. He has the cutest face--it's round but with a distinctive flattish frontal look. His eyes are very round and goldish. And he is ornery in every sense. This kitten rarely walks--yesterday all he did was run and he literally was using the walls to bounce off of! And then come rushing up to us for pets. He's a dandy.
BRNSTON--a siamese with gorgeous blue eyes. He's about 9 months old with a birthday of 1/8/17. He came from a volunteer's yard where he had been seen for a couple weeks. He's doing wonderful--is sure enjoying making new kitty friends. And he loves to be petted and talked to. He loves all the toys!
Julianne and Nsuku are hanging about in the back Thumper's Room. Today marks the first day that they could be due to have their kittens. We have never known before the due dates of any pregnant cats that has comehere. Generally a cat is pregnant 64-67 days. One of the daddies was pure white and the other was black and white. So....we may have some surprises! Just a few facts that you probably already know: kittens are born both blind and deaf. Newborn kittens need to be fed every 2-3 hours. All kittens are born with blue eyes.
Take care everyone. Have a great weekend and enjoy your families, friends and pets.
