Little Thamba and Teddy Bear are really sweet!  Their fur grows everyday as does their playfulness.  They are now moved up to Paddy's Place! Time to stretch their horizon! Their appetites are good and their purr motors run great!

We also have 4 new kittens. These kittens arrived 12/14. Three are from the same litter and their mama has been spayed now.  The 4th one is from a different litter and was brought to the home by their son. 
Angola--torti, bigger gold area back of head, cream down left side of nose, female
Bipsol--black,  no white, female
Cady--torti--gold inverted V on head, female
Dakota--torti, small gold dot on head, female

Angola has a birthday of 8/3/19, making her 19 weeks old.
Bipsol, Cady and Dakota has a birthday of 8/24/19, making them 16 weeks old.
All names are from the Name a Cat list.
These 4 kittens had a pretty short quarantine time--they have not been around sick cats and we needed to move them out of the back Thumper's Room.  So these 4 also are in Paddy's Place. All are friendly, sweet and love to play.

Elliott, Alyssandrah and Gyovannah are slowly relaxing and coming along.  Elliott is in his own world--he is finally letting us pet him and groom him. He enjoys his meals.  The two girls are close and are bonded. Slowly they will adjust.

Tomorrow is our Fun-Raiser!  Boxes are at 2:00, followed by the Drawing and then followed by the Consolation Prizes!

Right now, we have possible holds on Desmond, Cashew, Silky, Pierre, Weezie & a friend, Pierre.  We also have some families undecided yet.

Ramsay is right now in the Christmas bed looking ever so cute.  Lucy is on the Princess bed. Spiker is behind me in his 2nd best favorite best (the couch is his favorite).  Magic and Dunn are on my desk. Zelda is snoozing right beside me. Fio and Donell are right behine me on the Kuranda Tower sound asleep. Life is good!

Cashew is spending time in her favorite room, Paddys Place, with the kittens. She seems very comfortable there with her new friends.

Zinie is doing better!  Fever is down. Appetite is improving. She even looks better. I have a feeling this sweet cat would have a very sad story to say, if she could tell us. She loves to be petted and talked to.

Saturday is our last spay/neuter day for 2019.  This is the day that will tell if we reach the hopeful goal of 1200.  It's going to be very close. We need 62 more surgeries to reach that goal.  Going to be a very busy surgery day on 12/21.  We couldn't possibly do these big surgery events without our volunteers pitching in to help.  They watch over all the cats after their surgeries are done--they make sure their respirations are good, their color is good, they are warm and fed when they wake up.  Very important to us!

Attention, attention!  Coralie has something to say. It's her Christmas desire for everyone. Please....do an act of kindness!  Those acts of kindness can have enormous impacts on both the person being kind and the recipient. If someone would not have been kind when she was found frozen on a back porch, she would not be alive today. So, she is asking others to do THREE acts of kindness this week, in her honor!  It could be something simple like smiling at a stranger, volunteering somewhere, send a note of gratitude to someone who has helped you or maybe give your pet an extra play time and a snacker!  You can be kind, generous and compassionate to someone you know or to a stranger!  Coralie is just beaming at the thought of what all this kindness can lead to!
