Tico and Taco have found their forever home! They are now with Painteddaisy and hubby. Many thanks to Gem and her nephew for driving them half way to meet them. They have went from initially to being quiet here to silly fun cats these last couple weeks. I wondered if they would be shy at first with Painted, but nope! She talked to them most of the way home and slept with them the first night. They are bonded to her. And both are enjoying their new home and loving the windows and all of the attention! Two great adoptions!
Muddles is now doing wonderful. He's running, playing, acting like a kitten with endless energy! His appetite is good. He is fully recovered!
There for quite some time, the kittens were mostly playing around Paddy's Place area. Now, they are in every room, acting like crazy kittens. That palm tree in the Kitty Kabana is taking a beating--saw 4 kittens on it at one time today.
Monday was HumaneOhio Day. I always love these days! A lot of work but........just think how many cats and kittens are reached by these events! We sent up 40 cats this time. This broke down to 24 females and 16 males. Two of those females are FFRC kittens--Marti and ChloeBear. Our safety system for check ins and check outs seem to be working smoothly. Many thanks to Lynnette, Gem and Becky M for your help. Something I think is pretty neat of HumaneOhio. As you would guess, they feel strongly about spaying and neutering. To help them catch up from being off due to the coronavirus for a couple months, they have been working 7 days a week. I believe, they are now doing 6 days a week--all in trying to help with the overpopulation problem.
This Saturday is our next FFRC surgery day. We won't know exactly which kittens we will have spayed/neutered until Friday, when we re-weigh them. We would also like to get more physicals done.
We have thanks to give! YOU are so appreciated!

We've taken on a few more kittens---2 seperate litters and 2 individuals
Sky--female, orange tiger weight 16 ounces, birthdate 5/15/20
Silvy--female, grey/white, weight 1.03
Ecee (s-c) Rose---female, muted calico, weight 1.03
Ralphie--male, beige, weight 1.15, birthdate 4/25/20
Raphael--male, white & Buff, weight 2.02
Roxi--female, torti, weight 1.15
Bluster--female, black long hair, 14 ounces, birthdate 5/11/20
Mr. Fluffypants--male, white long hair, weight 2.07, birthdate 4/10/20
Names are all from Name a Cat list. All kittens are in the back Thumper's Room--in the top and bottom condo. Between all of these kittens, we have a few issues--fungus, lice, fleas and 1 being frail (Bluster). But, all issues are being addressed and attended to. Our goal is to have them all in the Kitty Campus Room on Friday. We will need to use all condo space on Saturday for surgeries.
We also finally trapped a cat we've been working on for a couple weeks. Presto....finally, he went into a trap. He's been hanging around here--we told him he was welcome but he MUST be neutered. So....he finally went into the trap! He's been neutered, vaccinated, flea prevention applied, wormed and checked. He is back out now on the farmyard. We call him a Porchie. His name is Zippy, a brown tiger. His birthday is 6/5/19.
Sylvan was suppose to have had a dental yesterday but the second he saw the crate, zoooom, he was gone. So, I started looking at other cats teeth and picked Frank to go up. Thanks to Martha and Larry for transporting him up and back. Frank is only 2 1/2 years old but his poor teeth were awful. That's why x-rays at the time of a dental are so important--tell more of a story of how the teeth are. He had 15 removed. The back of his mouth was very swollen. Remember the trouble we had with Lucas? So did Dr. Darcy, so she put a feeding tube in Frankie. He's down on the floor of the front Thumper's Room. His main "job" is rubbing and rubbing and rubbing on our legs! He's such a great boy. He took his breakfast and lunch via the feeding tube like a pro. Hoping that will be out within a week. He's on antibiotics and soreness meds.
Take care! Tomorrow is a busy day. We have a Flash Sale plus families coming in to look at the kittens for possible adoptions.
