We have more adoptions coming up before the weekend is over--Hatima, Ruth Marie and Calvin together and Monroe. And I believe there is going to be a special adoption too coming up. As soon as I know more, I'll fill you in!
Boaz is doing so very well. He's being careful (or at least he tells me he is!). He has a limp and a "sag" in that leg when he walks, but the muscle tone is building. He's a very brave boy.
Dr. Bud is doing good. His incision is flat (so no pus buildup), no fever and no heat at site. Maybe, just maybe, this third time dealing with this infection has done the trick. Amazing that the infection formed underneath the scapula from a bite wound. Dr. Bud may be a candidate for the Cove. He's not an inside cat, never has been and really is not comfortable inside. We've left him out in Bella's Place, the dog run, a few times and he is happy there. He would think the Covie's playground is super nice!
We had BOXES yesterday! Wonderful, delightful, awesome boxes! Many thanks.

And now, let's give an update on CATATHON!! It's been awhile since we have done that. It is only 43 days away now. A lot of things will start happening very soon.
Next week, Lynnette and I will be arranging all the Baskets, Small Big TIcket items, Big Ticket items and the Big Big Ticket items. I know, I know.....where on earth did we come up with these names?! lol All I can say is......it just happened and the names stuck! These items are organized in order and placed in various buildings according to their name.
The following week, SonJa and MK arrive and they will write a complete inventory of each and every item. The end of that week, Jen arrives and will take individual pictures of everything.
Then, these descriptions and pictures goes to Vaun and Clay who will organize all of this into the website. When this is all composed, then everyone will have access to this to let you view all areas of Catathon.
The week before Catathon will be the Catathon Fun-Raiser! Very awesome items. The winners will be announced during Catathon itself.
We will then have 2 weeks of pre-registration. If you even think you may participate in Catathon, it's great if you pre-register. It cuts down on the time on the phone. It's not required but does help alot!
Phone guys will come in the week before and put in the extra 7 lines to the phones so we can have 8 working phones during Catathon. Cats will start preening and practicing their smiles in anticipation of visitors!
Food meals will be planned--lunch and supper for the big day for all those that are helping!
And during all of this time, we have tons of kitten and cat care to give!
Here is the latest, most up to date lists of Catathon! I must say, we have never been so far ahead of the game as we are this year, thanks to you all who have contributed.
100% of the baskets are FULL! In fact, some of the baskets are divided into two awesome baskets! Remember though, that if you are still sending things in, we will continue to add to the baskets. A few things, with the giver's permission, we will be putting into future fun-raisers and flash sales, which is so wonderful to be able to do.
