We were able to get a lot accomplished yesterday on Catstock. The games are all organized and put together. Thanks to Judy S for helping with this. Today (hopefully) will work on getting all the prizes broke down for each game table. We have thousands of prizes to give away!! This morning we have our last organization meeting for Catstock. It's a week from today! Next week, I'll give you the break down of what happens each day!
We had an adoption yesterday! Purrgeron went to his new home. He went to a family that picked him out about a month ago. Yesterday was his big day. I'm sure he'll fit right into their family. I also heard from Tallulah's new family. It sounds like all is well and happy! That's what we want--good, loving homes for our kitties and cats!
Cassidy is doing great. His sutures will be removed in a few days. Court is coming along--he's had a bit of a rough time getting use to the other cats. I believe he'll settle down though. Bondi is doing pretty good. Some days are a little rough--her age shows. I always remember a vet saying, "Getting old is not a disease.". I've always treasured that! Alot of it is in how cats handle it. Bondi is a toughie--look how she pulled thru to get to where she is today. She loves being in the Welcome Room Office--gets lots of petting. The only thing is, she has taken that office chair as HERS and hers alone. I find myself standing up to write notes in the office!
Weber is a nut! He's got one of the goose feathers and is rolling over and over with it, in his mouth. I believe he thinks he's the great hunter. Graciela and Ginseng are playing together--racing up and down the sisel rope tower. Penn gave Pizazz a big bath yesterday--so sweet!

We had a Petfinder report. We had 2,135 pet views last week. The top 8 cats that were looked at are: Campion, Cassidy, Betony, Butterbur, Filbert, Weber, Efrafa and Octavia. Late fall is when our adoptions go up!
Our sweet resident, Bondi. She sure loves her comforts!
