We had a wonderful adoption on Saturday. Our lovely Gia was adopted! She went into a home where she will be a single cat and with lots of people to love on her. It'll be easier for her to lose a bit of weight without all the kitten food around. She is just a wonderful cat!
And before Gia, we had an adoption of Bibs. She's the black kitten with a big white mark on her chest and tummy. She's part of the Oxbow Lake kittens. A real sweetie.
We had BOXES on Friday afternoon! Many many thanks for your kindness.

Error! Mistake! Apologies! Airabelle is now named AIRIO. Somehow or another, she went to the boy side and is the BROTHER of Alvin. One quick look on those fuzzy behinds wasn't enough! We are both thoroughly embarrassed!
All 3 of the kittens, Alvin, Airio and Ina are doing wonderful---they are rock and rollers. Tussling and tumbling! Won't be long until they are up in the Main Area.
The baby Persians are doing wonderful. They are so fluffy, ornery, climbing and acting like little crazy babies! Won't be long until we have human names on them as owners. The reason I'm still waiting i s because we're waiting for the two smallest to catch up a little bit. I know some of you have seen Shalimar and now Arvin limping a little. No worries. There are no fractures, just a joint that has been stressed a bit from too much tumbling! All is good. They are all eating very well on their own now.
And we have more thanks yet to give!

Yesterday afternoon was our party that was in appreciation of our volunteers. It was done in the name of all the chatters, lurkers, mods and admins. We are, among many things, thankful to the volunteers for:
sharing their time
sharing their compassion with the catsfor all the feedings that they do
for all the brushing/combing they do
for taking care of the mountain of laundry that is created here
for the litterbox scooping
for their friendship to each other
for all the dish washing
for all the washing of everything that is done
for helping to hold for treatments
for understanding that we all try our best!
for meeting and greeting our visitors
for putting together adoption bags, refilling flea syringes, filling snacker bags
for keeping a special eye on the outside cats
for letting me know when they feel a cat/kitten isn't feeling good
for helping to keep bottoms and faces clean
for keeping the floors clean with the shop vac
for special holdings for food time for those that need help
for genuinely loving the cats and kittens
and, and, and.......
there are so many things they do to help keep this Rescue Center going and I am deeply grateful for each of them. It truly takes a village of volunteers to make this Rescue Center the kind of place it is today.
Tomorrow is our HumaneOhio spay/neuter transport day. We have another full schedule. We so want to be a big part of helping to curb the cat overpopulation problem.
