Tomorrow is Easter. One we all will remember as spending Easter under the Stay at Home orders. Our lives have all changed so much--so many restrictions but all for the good of our fellow people.

I have been overwhelmed with feelings of gratitude.  Boxes have still been arriving--such a blessing and so happily received.  We have also received some donations that help us with our monthly bills.  And the kindness of friends that just wish us all well and to stay healthy. Our volunteers who continue to come--although we have toned it down some, for safety. They are truly the bestest ever! The cats and kittens who are healthy--so grateful for this. The cats and kittens have provided so much laughter for us during this hard time--they are all very cuddly and playful. 

We have thanks to give---and trust me....these are BIG thanks!  I know times are hard financially for all of us, yet we are still receiving some help.
Judy and Phil--a donation to help where needed
Sylvia H--donation to help with the medicine bills
Jean A--donation to go towards our medicine bills
Joanne/Jo603--donation to FFRC
Candy A--donation to be used wherever the most need is
Randi and Mary--donation towards meds or whatever is most helpful
Charlotte T--donation to FFRC

Eric & Carrie and Jim--donation to use where needed

Remember Brynn and Wonder? I've heard from their mom.  They are doing great. The 22 year old cat thinks he is their daddy and tries to clean them! The girls both have tons of energy!  And the best....they like popcorn! That made me smile!  Wonder's name is Renee. They will be 2 on 4/17--hard to believe!

We also heard from the family that adopted Panthy!  Pantalaimon is doing amazing. "All my girls love her and they play well and cuddle well already. We are so grateful for her presence in our family!"  So happy for Panthy!

And we also heard from Pierre's family!  "He is a real sweetheart but definitely has his "wildcat" moments. He has 2 favorite pastimes--watching the birds and eating!  He still likes to do shoulders and Katelyn is his favorite person! He is loved by all". 

I want to thank you all who have participated in our two mini fb flash sales this week.  We have applied this to our FFRC bills!  Every little bit helps!

Kimmie's kittens are starting to come off of their big bed!  These 5 kittens are just too cute!  Their legs are getting stronger, their eyes nice and bright.  Their birthdays are 3/15/20.

Basani's kittens are cruising about on their big pillow bed. Yesterday they were playing with a couple ball toys. So sweet and all 3 have booming purrs!  Their birthdays are 3/16/20.

Minnie's 6 kittens are smaller but sure have big round tummies!  They are scooting around a little. They sure love their mama and stay close to her. Their birthdays are 4/1/20.  Won't be long until we move Minnie and babies to the Kitty Campus room.

For Easter, our Trivia mods are doing a special Trivia at 2:00 for your enjoyment!
I'm trying to work a Storytime in for Easter!  Will let you know the time as soon as I can!

The Covies, Firecats, Barnies and Porchies are all doing great. We had turned off their heat lights earlier in the week. But, due to cold temps that came back, we turned them back on! They sure do love their heat! It has frosted this morning, so the nighttimes are still cold. All are doing well. Pinto, a Covie, had a major grooming session this week. Sevaun meows at me every morning, from her Kuranda Tower, letting me know it's ok to serve her breakfast in bed! 

The farm animals are doing good too. We're changing the horse corrals a bit--took one line of fencing down to join two areas together. The horses are glad to see some green grass! Millie still brays every morning at us. We got the first goose egg this week too--always makes me think that spring really is here!

You all take good care. I know this Coronavirus time has been hard for everyone. But, we can do this! We all have a part to play in helping to save lives......and that means stay to home, stay your distance, wash your hands often. We are all in this together.
