Paddy Cake is back!!!!  I'm happy beyond words.  In the last day or two he is doing some of his routine things--laying on the wheel for his naps, eating his baby food that he loves, carrying his toy spring around in his mouth. We have been able to take him off the pain meds and have decreased his Lasix to once a day. He is still on his heart regular twice daily. Plus his anti-coagulant is every 3 days. Even his eyes have that look like he's back ..........and planning on staying with us! I know I can say this for everyone---we are so thankful!  

We had a HumaneOhio surgery day this past Monday. A great day! We sent up 44 cats--31 females and 13 males! Love these numbers.  This brings our total for 2018 to 637.  Our total so far is 366 females spayed and 271 males neutered. At the end of July 2017, we were at 476. We are on our way to 1,000 spays/neuters for 2018!

Update on Tshembo.  He's a sweetie! He may not have much fur left but I've told him that it will grow back again and he will never have another mat again. He loves to nap in a real tight ball.  His bigger worry is his teeth and gums. Such horrible condition. The injection given has helped alot and he is getting antibiotics daily that are a big help with mouth problems.  He's starting to eat better too. He loves his head rubbed (on top--not by his jaw yet).  A very nice cat. 

I've heard from TIllie Rose's new family! All good news. They love her and say she is very comfortable. Loves to be petted and loves to purr. She has explored the whole house! So happy for TIllie Rose to have her very own home! 

We have more thanks to give!

We had 2 more adoptions!
Brinn and Wonder went to their new home yesterday. These are the two kittens that were the only survivors of 15 cats in a house fire.  Their new mama spoke for them shortly after their arrival.  They had a slow start but in the last few weeks have been super growing! Two real sweeties.  They will have lots of lap time with their new mom! 

We had a Flash Sale Weds.  Mich and Vern were here! Many thanks to these two wonderful people who give their time to do these Sales. And many thanks to all who made or provided the items that we sold and of course to those that participated. And a big thanks to the mods too for doing the PR for the sale. The total came to $1,784.  This is wonderful. We had just put in a big order of flea prevention and so this amount will be applied towards that.  Many many thanks! 

The 11 kittens in the back Thumper's Room are doing great.  CeeCee still needs some extra help and Dr. Darcy will check the 3 "leg kittens over" on August 18--March, Clowey & Cherokee.  The 7 school kittens have very very round tummies. Manfred is very small but sure can eat! 

Here's some of our August dates:
August 7---HumaneOhio surgery day
August 8--dental day for Eddie White
August 15--dental day for Mitz
August 18--Dr. Darcy visit--may do all outside cats' physicals, wormings, etc
August 28--HumaneOhio surgery day

And of course, don't forget Catstock is September 8th! Only 34 days to a fun day!
