This is what I feel......we have the bestest kitties and cats!!  Okay, okay......so I'm a bit prejudiced!  But, I look around and see healthy, happy kittens and well adjusted cats and it makes me happy. When I hear back from families that have adopted and they say how nicely the cats have adjusted to their new homes and how happy both the cat and family are, it makes me smile.  That's what this is all about....happy cats/kitties finding their new homes. 

And we've had two more adoptions!
GracieRoo went to her new home. An elderly lady wanted her and GracieRoo was so sweet with her!  This happened on 7/8.  I've already heard back and both are enjoying their time together.  GracieRoo loves the couch--she watches TV with her new mama!

Pandora also went to her new home, on 7/10. A couple came in looking for a male kitten. Well, Pandora had something to say about that. She went right to them, climbed up on their shoulders and stayed put. She made it known that she was to be the one to be  adopted!

More adoptions coming up this Saturday--Janelle Eileen and Janine Elise together.  Verity will also be going to his new home! Yaseen also has a hold on her and will be leaving on the 20th. 

We have thanks to give:
Lana H--donation to FFRC
Bragg Shop--donation to FFRC
Reschke Store--donation for FFRC
James R--donation to FFRC

Charlotte T--donation for FFRC

Cliff (porchie) and Mayor Anony (covie) were brought in and given a thorough grooming job. They both look really good.  Nails trimmed, ears cleaned--the whole works!

Hope is doing better.  Still lung congestion but that is very slowly improving too.  Big news yesterday, she figured out how to eat off of a plate!  She's doing her meals about half syringe feeding and half self plate eating!  She's getting it!  Yesterday she was in the house about 4-5 hours. She loves the fluffy blankies that the Z's have. They share with her.  She still likes to come out to the Main Area to rock and roll with the kittens.

Belle and her babies are doing great. Belle is such a sweet cat and an excellent mama.  We have names now for the 4 babies. They have very similar markings.
Tangle--female, black/white
Tingle--female, black/white, wider white stripe under chin
Brrring--male, black/white
Ring--male, black/white, tiny black dog, outside of rear left toe

I believe there's a few kittens that we did not introduce to you:
Watson--arrived 7/2.  Birthdate 4/23/19.  Arrived at 10 weeks of age, long hair grey/white with a white face. This kitten was heard before seen as he was up inside a car and got himself wrapped around the steering column.  The dash had to be disassembled. Such a sweet boy.  He had a ton of dirt and grease on him--took 3 bubble baths to come clean. The owner of the car said he had to have traveled about 20 miles up inside the motor area before going up further to the steering column area. 

Levi--arrived 7/8.  Birthdate 6/3/19.  Arrived at 5 weeks of age, orange tiger. He was found on a country road and had been there for 2 days.  He's a super nice kitty and loves all the other kittens! He was very hungry and very dirty.

Noosma--arrived 7/8.  Birthdate is 5/27/19. Arrived at 6 weeks of age, a siamese kitten. She was brought in after a family had too many kittens. She is a very sweet and kind kitten. Loves attention and enjoys all the other kitties.

In case you are wondering about the floor, mentioned above--remember. we had the floor redone when we did the reconstruction.  It's not "right"--has a lot of discoloration to it over the entire area.  So, they will be coming July 22 to strip it all down and start all over.  It'll be a 4 day process. As in the past, the kittens and cats will be put into different rooms.  This time though, some of the volunteers will take a few of the kittens to their homes for a visit!  Fun for the volunteers and fun for the kitties! We can do this and will get thru these 4 days.

Have a wonderful weekend!
