Thursday afternoon our phone company will be coming about 3:00 to set up the phone lines and make sure all is in working order. On Catathon day, we will have 8 working phones to take your calls. For Catathon, you can dial 419-393-2400! We will be happy to have those phones ringing and ringing!
The big rented TV will be here on Saturday. We'll set this up under the shelter house for visitors/volunteers to watch the action. Rent A Center is giving us use of this TV at no cost!
Today we will set up the bidding boards where they will be for Sunday and also re-position the cams to see if all is good. The set up will be similar to last year.
During the catathon, there will be a flow of videos showing you what is on deck next for each round. Also during the rounds 2 thru 6, we will be pulling names of winners for the fun-raiser. Round 7 will be for pulling names for the consolation prizes.

We had surgery day with HumaneOhio on Monday--always a good day! We sent up 30 cats--20 spays and 10 neuters. All went well. This brings our grand total so far for 2018 to 528. That breaks down to 302 females and 226 males. Last year at this time we were at 392. I'm counting on breaking that 1000 goal!
Sizzle is doing wonderful in her new home. She's eating good. She has grown very close to the son in the family. He plays fetch with her using small soft play toys and she will actually bring them right back to him. They really enjoy her!
We need to have one more BOX time before Catathon. It's been a bit harder this week working that in due to all the prep needed for Sunday. But....we'll work it out and let you know when! Thanks for your patience!
Take care, have a great day. It's a bit cooler today than the last two days. They were very hot and high humidity. Even the inside cats and kittens were "flat"--laying low to the floor!
