About 80% of all of Catathon items have now been mailed!  Our mailing crew is phenomenal--Lynnette, Marcia, Beth, LJ, Tammy and Keith--big thanks! We are caught up now on payments and sending out. As soon as the remaining items' payments are received, they will go out the door too!

I've heard from the family that adopted Velveteen. Her new name is Bella. She has settled into her new home very well. Their other cat Zazzles is also adjusting to Bella's and all the energy a kitten brings! She is getting lots of attention, love and snuggles.

I've also seen Mercury and Madge. They are growing and it's quite obvious that they love their new mom and dad. 

We had BOXES on Weds.  Such wonderful items!💚💙

And to add to this busy time, we took on 11 new kittens. Most don't have names yet but hopefully today they will. 

Tinora--female, brown tiger & white.  Found by a volunteer at a Tinora ballgame. I feel she obviously was tossed from a car--has multiple abrasions on the face and a laceration on her right front leg. Her little right front paw is also crushed--so very sore. She is on antibiotics and soreness meds. She is 7 1/2 weeks old, arrived on 6/25. Her birthday is 5/4/19.  Such a sweet babe.

These next 11 kittens do not have names yet! 
This is one litter:--their birthdays are 5/15/19
Female, grey tiger, 4 white feet, grey face
Male, black tiger, 4 white feet, pink nose, white muzzle
Female, muted calico, cream forehead
Male, slate grey and white, 4 white feet, big white neck

Another litter:
Male, black/white, wh chin white up nose
Female, black/white white feet, full black face, white chin

Another litter:
Male, black tiger, 4 white feet, br & wh whisker pads
Male, brown tiger, 4 white feet, br & wh whisker pads

Another litter:
Female, medium long fur, black
Female, medium long fur, brown tiger

Today will be to get their medical records updated and get names to these kittens. All are sweet, ornery and active.  The 2 little black/whites are very small yet but are keeping up nicely with the bit older ones!

And we've had 3 more adoptions since noted in blog:
6/24--Tily was adopted. She was one of the 4 Some T's. The family was very excited and had waited for her to be spayed. Such an extra sweet kitten.

6/26--Snoopurrs adopted.  She was one of the Sweetie Kitties. Another super nice kitten going into a great home! 

And Hope wanted me to mention her as an official adoption (again)!  She is still being syringed fed and that is ok.  She's still so tiny.  But mighty--I saw her yesterday doing the "puff up walk" as she tried to grab the tail of an adult.  She wacked it and then had the good sense to run......and run fast!  Hope has been spending a bit of time inside my home but the majority of her time is still in the rescue center. It's good for her to have kittens to play with.  

All is well here. Getting ready for 3 big surgery spay/neuter dates coming up the first half of July.  Lots of treatments to give due to all the kittens--vaccines, worming, flea prevention, etc.  Keeping us kitty hopping busy!
