Spay and Neuter---that's the name of the game to help with this huge cat overpopulation problem. We know that people are very interested in getting their cats done--we are booking each event very quickly. Today was a HumaneOhio day. We checked in 34 cats and kittens. This breaks down to 16 males and 18 females. These days that we do surgeries is always questionable. Some people book for 4 ferals and only trap 2. Some book for 3 and set 5 traps and come in with 5. We want them all--the overpopulation problem is very sad and hurtful. Kittens are being born at this very second--and no home for them. The problem can be so simply prevented by spaying and neutering.
Here' our numbers now: For 2017 we have now spayed/neutered 632 cats and kittens. This comes from 375 females and 257 males.
Because of doing surgery check outs at 5:30ish, we will do BOXES at 4:00 today.
Here's some upcoming dates:
Sept. 9--CATSTOCK! Trailer comes Thursday for the band. Big tent comes Friday.
Sept. 14--HumaneOhio surgery day
Sept. 16--FFRC surgery day

Wow--we have now reached 20,000,000 viewers on our KittyCam! I cannot even imagine that. I still remember the first 100, the first 1000. And when we reached our first million, I was just totally in awe of you all! Just for fun, I looked up what just 1 million dots looked like on a page. Multiple that by 20 and that's mind boggling! This represents YOU---our wonderful viewers.
The Harlequin Shirts are in! And are they ever wonderful! Many thanks to Larissa and to Megan for making this possible. They will be out in the mail soon. For those coming to Catstock that ordered shirts, you can pick them up then!
Update on Julianne and Nsuku. Both are getting bigger. And they both are exploring more and more. Nsuku is braver. Julianne loves to be petted. When the time gets a bit closer, we will be putting the two pools in the back Thumper's Room for them.
The Yum-Raiser continues until 9 am Weds. morning. The winners --8 of them--will be drawn during Catstock!
All is good here. We've had a couple kittens with the sniffles but they are better now. Energy levels are sky high--truly have to do the kitty shuffle here. We've been letting the doors open to the front and back Thumper's Rooms alot lately so all of the cats can mingle back and forth.
We have two new cats.
Bailey O which means brave girl. She is black/white with black ears and a white chin. She's 8 weeks old but is only 1.09. She arrived here at 8 weeks of age. Her birthday is 7-9-17. She had lice, fleas, anemia and a right ear wound that is fairly large. She's on antibiotics, has had a medicated bath and is eating everything in site! She is one sweetie pie that loves attention! It won't be long until she's out with the rest of the group.
Buster is a large adult tan/white cat. We have him down as a Turkish Van---such a handsome boy who knows he has a gorgeous fluffy tail! He is 2 years old with a birthday of 8/24/15. When he first arrived, I wasn't sure of his personality but he has already showed himself as a big sweetiepie. The kittens look at him with big eyes---Buster is a big size boy with his long fur. Super nice cat.
Take care to everyone! Enjoy this wonderful day. FOUR more days to Catstock!
