these Boxes!
Many thanks to all for the great Quickie Flash Sale yesterday! All the blankets were sold--made $513. This is wonderful and I'm grateful for all those that made the blankets, those that bought them and to the mods that helped with the sale, along with Lynnette and Beth. We had some repairs done recently and so will apply this towards that bill!
When we take in cats and they've passed their quarantine time, we love to open the doors all the way up in the early morning breakfast time. It gives the cats that time to make up their own mind as to when they feel ready to come to the Main Area. Today was a great day for Puddy and Addy---they both came up. Addy did two full laps of the entire area. Puddy likes the Paddy's Place and loves to play with catnip toys in that room.
We have thanks to give!

The drawing is the 27th, Weds. And the LaChat sisters will be attending the drawing. I hear they have an astonishing new wardrobe too! The pictures that are selected will be on display before this Fun-Raiser gets started for your viewing pleasure!

Feather and kittens continue to do good. The 4 babies were weighed yesterday. They have doubled their birth weight already! They will be a week old tomorrow. I've been asked about about the difference between the twin beige boys, Sammy and Frank. Sammy has a longer white line up his nose to between his eyes. Look close! Think of it this way--Sammy is a longer name than Frank and so his white line is longer too!
Wonderful news--the 6 black kittens are getting better daily. I'll tell you--it was a battle, with the virus they had. And I like that word....had. They are still on medication but their energy levels are high, their appetites are huge and they are crazy little kittens now! And they are ever so sweet! They will all be spayed/neutered on 3/9.
More adoptions are coming up! The next one is Saturday morning for MacNeil. Such a great boy.
We had an ice storm yesterday morning. All is well now though. Roads are pretty decent. The walkways are cleared and the farmyard safe for the animals to be out and about, although I saw a couple chickens dancing on the ice. The Porchies, Barnies, Covies and Firecats are all doing great. I'm sure though they will all be happy for sun and warm weather again.
Take care. See you at BOXES at 2:00!
