Dune's doors have been opened from the back Thumper's Room. He's come up for a come up for a few stroll-abouts. He seems very relaxed. Won't be long until he's romping with the other cats nd kitties.
Desmond has a friend! His name is Donell. Donell is a dark orange tiger kitten. He's a bit shy but coming around. We've been holding him a lot and Desmond's sweetness will rub off on him. They spend some of their time in the top condo in the Main Area and sometimes they are on the floor in Paddy's Place. It's fun to see these little tiny fur balls rolling each other! Donell was born 10/1/19 and arrived here at 5 weeks on 11/5. He had a mama cat and siblings outside. But each time mama would bring the kittens up on a porch to eat, she would not take Donell back. So, he was on the porch for 3 days by himself. He came in and devoured his first bowl of his special gruel/kitten mix. When it's nap time, they cuddle up together with their Ellie, the elephant stuffed toy.
Tomorrow is our FFRC surgery day. We've changed the schedule a little bit. The kitten that Angie L has will wait until December. Hope, too, will wait until December. She still has mucous and I sure don't want her endotrach tube to plug up. Dr. Darcy is also aware of Fio's double eye enucleation and is in full agreement. Fio is going to feel so so much better as these painful eyes will not be a bother anymore. We know he's already blind--he does very well and keeps up with the other kittens. He says......no worries....this is a good thing!

We'll do her microchip tomorrow. Her new mama-to-be's name is Robin. She's a wonderful, caring person. She has a special facebook page for her cats. If you go to facebook.com/2eyes12paws/ you will see it. Robyn has another cat that is totally blind, like Elsie. At her new upcoming home, Elsie already has a wheel waiting for her. Plus many of the toys here that she loves. Robin has been watching and anything that Elsie likes, is now in her new home. Robin aims to make the transition easy for Elsie.

We had a most awesome adoption on 11/6! LJ, our new neighbor, adopted Enola. This has been planned for a long time but LJ wanted to make sure her house was ready for Enola. We all knew that Enola had been an outside cat, ripped quite badly by a groundhog and then lived in PawMart for months and became a new favorite store cat. Enola fell in love with LJ and told her one day it was time for LJ to have a cat....Enola! And so, it happened. Update on this adoption--it couldn't be any better. Enola has taken over the bed, the fresh warm laundry, follows LJ around and generally is enjoying a new wondrous life!
We have quite a few adoptions coming up. Things happen and change and so does our potential adoption list: Brrring, Applejack, Gemma and Evans, Nocoma, KaKenya, Tangle, Lorha, Elsie. Great kitties and cats going into new wonderful homes!
It's a brrrrr-y cold day today. This week, all heat lamps were double checked--some readjusted. A heat strip will go on one of the water faucets outside. Blankies and beds are plentiful. Electric water bowls are not out quite yet but will be soon.
Stay warm, enjoy your weekend. We will keep you posted about the surgeries tomorrow!
