We had wonderful, marvelous, awesome BOXES on Friday. My heart is always grateful---from sponges to cleaning soaps, from litter to can food, from dry food to snackers, from glass cleaner to volunteer snackers, from lysol wipes to paper towels.......in other words, we are sooooo grateful for all of the supplies!

Tomorrow, Cee Cee and Asia will both head up to the vet's office. Many thanks to Auntie Beth for taking them. She will drop them off and they will spend the day. We will bring them back yet tomorrow. Cee Cee will have lab work done. Asia has a limp that is a bit concerning and will have that x-rayed.
Belle and her 4 babies have made it up to the Main Area.......finally! It took them a while to decide that it was ok to venture forth! Belle is doing awesome--such a great cat. And of course, the babies have endless play friends now! Chaps is still in the back Thumper's Room along with two kittens that we are boarding. They are Mercury and Marge, kittens from here, siblings to Maggie! They too may decide to come up and play this week.
We've had 3 more adoptions!
Sydney left on 8/2--she went to my daughter Dawn and her family. He has been non-stop playing and cuddling. He's also made friends with Jilly already (another FFRC cat).
Precious left on 8/2--she went to a wonderful home with a great mama. Precious actually picked out her mama herself and made it clear she was the one to go home with her!
Disco left on 8/3--she also went to a happy home and will have another cat to make friends with. Such a gorgeous kitten! I'm very sure she's found a great home!

Preparation for Catstock is progressing! Catstock is September 7, Saturday. Maybe come fo the whole week, or more?!! But, the Catstock itself is in the afternoon. The awesome band Strawberry Hill will be here and they are cool! If you are here on Friday night, come join us for more fun! It's called Fire, Friendship, Food and a Movie! We'll have a campfire, complete with s'mores, hot dogs and pudgy pies. That's right--a movie right here at our Shelter House, by the firepit! It'll be on a big screen and be a family friendly movie! If you haven't made your reservations yet at a hotel, better call! The more visitors, the better!
And then there's the Catstock itself. Tons of food for lunch and supper! Fun things to do all afternoon but the best is meeting old and new friends! We'll also have a 50/50 drawing. You'll be able to see all the kitties and cats inside and visit the Covies as well. Our popular cat bingo is being planned too, along with some awesome prizes!
