Weds., March 13, 2019

Tiles, Plates and Toys!  That's what our Quickie Flash Sale was all about yesterday.  We started out with the 4 x 4 tiles--these were all sold!  And then we had 3 of the 12 x 12 tiles and these too were sold. We had a bit of fun then. An anonymous friend had donated a lot of decorative plates and we've been selling those on facebook.  Another anonymous friend bought some that were not sold and then donated those to the first ones that put their names on them---for FREE! Such a great thing all the way around!  And then we ended the Saale with super catnipped up toys--also all handmade and donated. 

The projected sale amount came to $450.  This is just wonderful. This will go towards our utility bills. I've been asked---is there a reason for so many facebook sales lately (jewelry/plates/miniature collectibles).  There is indeed a reason--a special reason even---to get our utility bills paid up!  Because of the winter season and it being extra cold, the utility bills have gone up.  But, the good news is........only 7 more days till Spring. This will bring warmer weather!

We had BOXES on Monday. Many thanks! Always exciting for us.

We have a new cat. Actually, this is a cat that arrived with Lorry. His name is Morton. His birthday is 10/3/15, which makes him 3 1/2 years old.  He too had to have a double bath for cleanliness. Morton is a black/white cat with white on his left lip. His long white whiskers makes him very handsome. While he is physically well, his emotional state is rocky. At first, he was terrified of everything. He is now on the floor in the front Thumper's Room and is letting us pet him head to tail. Any noise makes him jump and scatter. But, you can tell......he WANTS to be petted.  He is a work in progress--slow but sure. 

Lorry had come up to the Main Area and was adjusting nicely. Now that Morton is out of his condo, she has chosen to go back to the front Thumper's Room to be with her friend. She's super sweet and is so helpful to Morton.

We had an adoption yesterday--our sweet wonderful Sinbad went to his new home. His new mama planned this date so she could be with him for 2 1/2 days! He will have a cat friend there in his new home! 

This Saturday, we have already scheduled 4 adoptions in the morning. First, Barin will leave with Beth. They will meet Kathy half way home. The other three leaving are: Abel, Cornelio and Fabel.  

Manville is in the Main Area now full time.  We've been putting him in the Welcome Room at night though.  He's a super wonderful boy and you can see that he is figuring out how to live inside.  We're still watching him as it seems he's trying to play but then becomes a bit rough. He's getting better each day. It would be wonderful if he settles inside as a happy, contented cat and gets along with everyone. 

And Paw Paw says Hi!  His fur is growing out beautifully--he's so very handsome.
