The cats and kitties have so enjoyed all the extra petting and huggings while our visitors are here. Let someone sit down and poof---there's kittens in their laps!  Right now I have 6 sleeping kittens on my desk--normally they would be romping away but today they are napping!  

Little Bailey-O reopened her wound on her head.  We now have a paper cone on her which she is tolerating pretty well.  As soon as more healing takes place, we will hopefully be able to get that off quickly.  She's feeling better--is walking around and is eating good.

We had BOXES last night!  I am so appreciative. You all make such a huge difference to this Rescue Center.

Update on farm animals! All is good.  The little ducklings are as big as mama--can't hardly tell which one is mama anymore! They all survived and doing great. Noisy bunch of ducks!  We did lose a goose a couple weeks ago.  We are down to 4 geese now. These geese are all in their 20's.  The chickens are doing good and never miss a "Here chickie chickie" call---they know goodies are coming!  The horses too are doing good. So glad we have that safety fence for Mercy. Twice recently she got spooked and have ran into a fence. Thank goodness she wasn't able to run into the Covies playground fence--that fence wouldn't have survived.  She is fine and is so enjoying all the grazing! 

We have been busy putting things back in storage and reorganizing Catstock items. The tent is now down and the band trailer is gone. CD's are going out. Most shirts have already been sent. Cookie orders from names drawn are being done.  

We had an extra awesome adoption!  Pippi went to her new home. You all probably know that Craig and his family adopted Daisy the dog and Solee our black CH cat.  They have now adopted Pippi! And she is doing absolutely wonderful! She loves her new wheel, the kuranda tower, looking out the patio door and being a part of this family! So very happy for her! 

Fall is starting to touch us. Leaves are slightly yellow--have lost their green luster color. Been chillier but this weekend should be in the low 80's!  

This Thursday is HumaneOhio's surgery date.  Saturday is our FFRC surgery date. Here's the tentative schedule: Kukisi, Lloyd, Florence, Laverne, Katmandu, Bailey O, Cupid, Claude.  We will be doing physicals too on some of them.  Claude will also have his tail looked at.  Bailey O will have her head wound checked. And of course, Nsuku and Julianne will have another physical. Marilyn too will be rechecked. Buster will have a physical since he is a new adult here. We will also have a few public cats coming in for their spays/neuters.
