All is good here. Cats are healthy. Kittens are growing. The 3 Siamese girl kittens will be ready for their spays on Saturday. And then we will arrange times for their adoptions. It's also possible we may spay two of the mamas this Saturday as well. Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus, we will be unable to open up any public surgery slots. Rest assured, once things are safe again, we will get those low cost spays/neuters going again.
Most importantly, our volunteers are also healthy! They are a huge part of what makes this place be possible. I am so grateful for their continued support. Again, once it is safe, all of the volunteers will be back. Some of them have extra concern with the covid due to their home/family situations.

It's happening! The baby kittens of Basani and Kimmie's are starting to cruise about! They have learned to purr and how to get back into their pillowbeds when they wander. I so love petting them! Especially when they lay on their backs and reach for the hands! Their mamas are also so sweet.
Minnie, the grey and white mama has settled in nicely. Her kittens are almost two weeks old alredy. Won't be long until they try to wobble about!
Azar was here again this morning. He's our Porchie that we share with a couple neighbors. He is one big boy and loves to have his breakfast here. We keep up on his flea preventions, wormings, vaccines and twice a year vet checks. Zavatar is still #1 boss of the Porchies!
We had an adoption on Saturday! When we do these adoptions during this Social Distancing time, we do not have the public come into the Main Area. They either stay in the Welcome Room or the PawMart. We are careful and then do wipedowns. It will be so wonderful eventually, not to have to worry so much. But, in the meantime, when possible, we want to get these cats/kittens into their very own homes. The cat that was adopted was Kiowa, our beautiful calico! And she went into a wonderful home! I've already seen pictures of her and she looks very happy! This family has adopted from us before.
Alma simply amazes me. Remember when she first came? She was very concerned about everything. A wonderful young lady brought her here to give her a good life. And I feel that she has so soaked up the good life! I just now watched her take 12 steps unassisted--without leaning on anything. She came from the main area to the purple office, used the litterbox and then went back to one of her favorite beds. She's active, interested in what's going on, loves to be petted and so enjoys the laser light! She's one special girl.
We have more thanks to give.........you all are awesome!

Derecho says.......stay home and wash those hands (he said paws but we all know what he means!).
Coralie says.....keep communicating. Social distance doesn't mean we have to be silent! Visit us on the cam, chat, go onto our fb pages! Visit your family and friends thru the internet!
Magic says......brighten up your corner of the world! Put pictures of your flag in the window, or a rainbow! Bears in windows, sidewalk chalking on driveway gives encouragement and cheer to others.
Pania says....share what you have. Food banks need donations. Helping to feed those who are hungry is so important. It also gives both sides a happiness boost.
Kiara says.......pass out those thank yous! Give thanks to those working the grocery store, doing janitorial cleaning, teachers, our delivery people, our healthcare people. There's so many people to give a note or word of thanks.
