Needless to say, this was an awesome evening for me. Many thanks to all the people who provided these items, to those who purchased tickets, to the Mods and Admins and others for promoting this event for us. Big thanks too to Marcia, Pat P and Connie S for counting all the tickets. It just takes a whole village to make these Fun-Raisers be successful and for you all, I am grateful. And to see all the congrats being said on the chat always makes me happy!
Every time you see a medicine being used, a syringe being used, a test being given, mopping solution being put into the bucket, a can of food being fed to a kitty, KMR being fed to another kitten, wormers being given, snackers being shared---there's a million things that we use---and YOU are ALL responsible for us being able to have these items. I am grateful to you all from the bottom of my heart!
Have a few other thanks to give too!

Jeanie A--visitor--48 cans Blue Wilderness, bag of dry Blue Wilderness, bag of Science Diet Kitten and a BLue Basics Turkey dry food bag.
Just a quick bit of news! I received an email confirming what I was hoping for. Our visitors here the other day sent an email confirming their decision---they would like to adopt ALL THREE of the Siamese siblings. Yes, that's right---together they shall always be! They've never been separated. Hugh, Hooligan and Harriet will be leaving soon but no date has been set quite yet. Just thrills me that these siblings are going to a home together. They are such a great 3-some cats--silly, playful and so loving.
The Niners are not to be contained in their little octagon nesting home any longer! Sometimes they are all piled up together and sometimes they are all sprawled out. They are so sweet, so loving and so very fun to watch. They are learning to play. And already many now are using their tiny little litterboxes! Nyla, the mama--she is just superb.
Take care and have a joyous weekend!
