Weds. April 3,2019

Windows are open and the furnace is off! We all love having the windows open--so fresh! The next few days look like lots of rain--spring flowers will be blooming! 

Updates:
Oliver Taylor Blackwell is one special kitten. Absolutely a real sweet boy.  He already is agile and climbing and jumping. He just now jumped up into my lap and is laying in my lap. His purr motor works real good.  His sutures will come out on Tuesday. His eye looks like it's slowly absorbing the blood. No damage to the eye itself is noted.

Muru is coming along. She has already gained a bit over a pound. We are no longer syringe feeding her but keeping an eye to make sure she continues to eat and drink.  She so loves to be petted.

Victoria has come out of her quietness and so loves people!  What a beautiful torti she is. She waits for us to go by her, rolls over and wants a tummy rub.  

Lancelot--I've heard from his new mama. All is good. Baby food wins again!  She taps the lid of the baby food jar and he comes a-running! He's still shy but enjoys his baby food time with his new mom. And he loves the windows! 

Singita is now in her new home too!  Her name has been changed back to her original name of Ivana. I'm so happy to say that she is playing and eating just fine. The other cats in the home are all adjusting nicely to her. She even gets the zoomies and runs around! 

Our surgery day on Saturday, is an FFRC surgery event.  Because we do not have many FFRC cats to do, we have opened it up to the public.  We will be doing 2 of our females--Sabel and Sasekani.  We will also do a volunteer's female cat. Plus, Ozzie, my granddog will be neutered.  There's a real possibility that we will neuter our 4 young kittens in the back Thumper's Room--Deano, Frank, Sammy and Calvin.

And then, we will also be doing 20 public male cats! Anytime we have extra room on the surgery schedule, it's good to open the door to more!  We had these 20 slots filled within an hour.

Tuesday was a Quickie Flash Sale.  This sale brought in $434!!!  This is just wonderful. I thank the people who provided the items, those that purchased the items, Lynnette/Marcia for helping with the sale and for the flash mods for assisting too!  The money made by this sale is being applied to vaccines that we needed--i was almost exactly to the dollar of what we needed! 

Have you been seeing Addy?  It's so nice.....she has suddenly decided to cruise about--in the last week now, I've seen her in every room that we have! And as happy as can be!  Just like Alma, this is good to see. 

Mowgli  will be seeing Dr. Darcy on Saturday, to have her mouth rechecked. With soreness meds and antibiotics, she is able to eat. We have some changes going on with her tongue that Dr. Darcy wants to see. She is such a gem--purrs so easily and seems very happy.

More adoptions coming up! On Sunday, we have 3 scheduled--Mabel, Sabel and Cornelio!
