Tshembo--he's living the life of leisure! This boy has waltzed right in like he's always been here. And his favorite place to nap is deeply snuggled into the big red poof in the pool! He sure loves his comforts already! And toys......all toys are fun to him. He's a real sweetie.

The 4 little ones--Zazzle, Razzle, Doodle and Cheerios are doing great. They've had 3 days now back from being fostered. They are brave, ornery and so sweet! Doodle is a little quieter but is now out and about with everyone. 

I've seen more pictures of Wonder and Brinn--they look happy and content.  And we've heard from Tillie Rose's family again. They sure love her! We're always happy to hear how our kittens and cats are doing. 

And we have more thanks to give!

King Derecho wanted a conference yesterday with me. He had some observations to make and was in a chitty chatty mood (I really think it was for the chicken treats though).  He said he's learned that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.  And he said this is for cats as well as humans.  And that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile (and sometimes catnip)!  And yes, this wonderful cat got some chicken! 

We took on a new kitten yesterday. His name is Kwan, a Name a Cat name. He is 12 weeks old and was in major need of help.  He arrived with mange, something we do not see often in cats. In his case, it had completely covered his body--very  "moth eaten" fur--lots of 
patches of fur gone--nose to tail. His birthday is 5/19/18.  He has been bathed with 3 separate shampoos, had an injection for mange and today had Bravecto applied today. He should be well treated but will remain in quarantine for a while yet.  He has an awesome personality--just purrs by looking at him.  And can you imagine how much better he feels?! 

Our three newest Porchies are doing well and are friends. Toasty, Winston and Trapper act like they've been here now forever--they've fit right in. The  y  Dingie, the black oldster, spends a lot of time on the porch and also in Porchie Haven.  Grizzly is a constant companion out on the farmyard.

Paddy Cake is doing wonderful and for this we are grateful.  He takes his meds well and is mostly back to himself.  Jessie, our oldster, is also doing great. She's eating good and so loves to have her chin rubbed. Camvi loves to go out to Bella's Place/doggie run. She will go out there and nap for hours in the sun. Ramsay loves his blue plastic cave--he will even dive into it! And Zelda is still so very cute!  Take care and have a great day.
