We had an adoption yesterday. Sweet Monroe went to her new home. She has been long anticipated in joining this family! I have a feeling she is going to be super loved! She's the last of the pack-rat kittens. An awesome girl.
We have more adoptions coming up but spays/neuters must happen first! Boaz will be leaving at the end of this upcoming week. They are very excited to have him join their family.
Yesterday, the doors were wide open, front to back to allow the 18 kittens in the back Thumper's Room the opportunity to come on up! And it was great--they were comfortable, silly and enjoyed it. The cats and kittens from main area also wandered into the back rooms. They had a couple hours of this and then we rounded them up and shut doors for the day.
Now, for today, we have done this again. The difference is that the 7 Reservoir kittens will stay in the front/Main Area! They will join the Sweetie Kittens and Ashleigh and Atalia. Lots of fun ahead! We will put them all in Paddy's Place for a while today, to "anchor" them to this room so they know where to go to for their meals and night time sleeping.

Manville has figured it out how to play with the kittens (for the most part!)! He is so silly with those little ones. And many times, the kittens run up to him. So cuate.
I've been asked about Jessie. She is doing great. Our 20 year old girl handles her age beautifully! And anything Jessie wants, Jessie gets! She's eating frequent, small meals. All is good in her world!
