Tuesday, November 20, 2018

Yesterday was a HumaneOhio surgery day--sure love these events!  Did the check in and check outs outside.  As the weather gets even colder yet, may have to do the check ins inside.  Brrrr.

All went well yesterday and we sent up 33 cats. This broke down to 19 females and 14 males.  A friend noted that my math was not correct back on 11/6.   I shorted our count by 20 surgeries.  

Here's our correct breakdown:
10/20--885 surgeries
11/6--925 surgeries
11/10--937 surgeries
11/19--970 surgeries    (548 females and 422 males)
We have also a few vouchers that we've assisted with that we will be able to add to our grand total at the end.  Plus, we have 2 more surgery dates for 2018--12/4 (HumaneOhio) and 12/8 (FFRC).  I am very hopeful to make and exceed our 1,000 goal! 

Yesterday we also had a Quickie Flash Sale (these are designed to meet a certain goal).  This sale produced $320!!!  This enabled us to purchase a box of Feline Leukemia/FIV/Heartworm test kits! Each and every cat and kitten receives 2 tests--one upon arrival and 1 four weeks later.  Many thanks for making this be possible!

We also had BOXES yesterday!  Many thanks to those that provided these gifts!

Kitties and cats received nail trims today.  We also have tests and vaccines, wormings and flea preventions all caught up. Such good attitudes--they were all good kitties and cats.  (they must know it's getting close to Christmas!)  

Mama Monique and her two babies are doing wonderful.  Monique finally had a "bombs away"!  So, no more worries about that!  Her tummy feels much better, I'm sure.  The two babies are growing and sure love their mama.  

And here's another thing to be thankful for!  Sweet Giovanna has gained more weight back! She's eating better and enjoys even her dry food.
