We took in a new cat yesterday morning. She had lived in a neighborhood for a couple years and unfortunately became pregnant. They simply couldn't get her in for a spay earlier.  She arrived very pregnant and shortly after arrival, went into labor.  She had 1 kitten at 2:04 and the second one at 6:00.  No more kittens produced over night.  Dr. Darcy has her started again on oxytocin but it's a real probability she will have to go up for a C-section this morning.  Hoping a birth happens before she would have to leave though.  She is a black short hair.  One baby is grey tiger and the other is a brown tiger ASH.  

We had an adoption yesterday.  Little Turbo went to his new family. They were in earlier this week and zeroed right in on him! He's that gorgeous brown tiger/white. Such a sweetie. He will have some kids to play with and be held by them.

There's a turkey in the refrigerator, thawing just for the cats!  It was a special request by Derecho and Coralie.

Sweet Eddie White--he's everywhere in the Rescue Center!  Remember when he wouldn't leave his one 5 foot shelf?  Not anymore! He's right now on my desk, curled up with his paw over his nose.  He welcomes pets now!

And Nyota--remember when she first came in with that scorched fur--so rough and brittle?  Not anymore! She's as sleek as can be--so soft and silky feeling. And happy--that's importnat.

And Cashew--remember when he arrived with that paw injury? Oh....so so sore and painful.  Not anymore! He zooms all over the place. His 3 leggedness is as quick as a 4 legged cat!

And one more---remember Spiker?  When he first arrived, he screamed and screamed for days.  It was like......don't talk to me, don't look at me.  Not anymore!  He's happy, sweet, purrable and loves his couch! 

Monday is our next HumaneOhio spay/neuter day!  

Good thoughts and prayers for Monique.  She has to make that trip to the vet office for a C-section. She's on her way right now. Thanks to Angie L for transporting her.  I'll keep in touch with Dr. Darcy.  As soon as she is done, I'll head up and bring her home.  Her two kittens will stay here and be cared for until Monique is back.

UPDATE---just got good news from the vet's office.  Monique will only have TWO kittens.  No further kitties inside. But she is loaded to overflowing with stool and gas.  Good news for her--she can easily care for these two babies and she won't have to be cut!  Good news for us--the bill won't be so high!  Now......we better have an extra big litterbox ready for her!
