Saturday is our surgery date.  Our wish for what we want to accomplish is rather large. We'll do as many as we can:
Neuters: Bub, Stetson, Valiant, Verity, Zendaya, Zini, TIng, Tobias, Toronto and Mercury.
Spays: Ginga, Snoopurrs, Snuggzy, Suzzie Q, Rascal, Velveteen, Tily, Maggie, Marge and 1 public spay
We would also like to do a physical on Mr. McWiggles, Enola, Manville, Janie

It's possible there will be a few adoptions on Sunday--Manville, Mr. McWiggles, Marge & Mercury together, Stetson & SuzzieQ together and Velveteen.  Yeah--and all great homes!  Each adoption gets an adoption bag that is filled with information, toys, 3 can food samples, a baggie of our dry food mix, folder with health papers in it, catnip sample, laser light, a blankie of their very own, etc!!

We also have thanks to give!
Yaseen El-Egaizi--donation to FFRC

Michelle & Mary LF--donation for beautiful Queen Coralie
Ajpritting--donation in honor of Coralie's birthday
Lana H--donation to FFRC

Little Hope is hanging in there.  Although her body is still very very thin, she is up from her arrival weight of 10 ounces to now..........12 ounces!  And her appetite is picking up.  She's not eating by herself yet so is being syringe fed. Her friend Claire is good for her.  The two like to snuggle up and nap. They are now in the top two condos of the back Thumper's Room.
