Last Kitten Show TONIGHT!

Those 2 Bermuda Paddys are quite the brothers. When one is zipping around you can almost always see the brother right behind. It's a joy to watch them. The cats had their window open yesterday to the outdoor enclosure. They loved it. The Cat's Cove cats also got a 2 hour outing to run around on the farm grounds. They always come back, food is a big motivator! We got 2 BOXES yesterday. Quayside sent a case of Whiskas Purrfectly Fish packs. The cats love these. Before I could even get them put away, that Octavia was already off with one of the packets. She went under the big silver pen and refused to give it up. Thanks so much Quay! Also received a box from Debra B. She enjoys watching the cam and sent a laser light, 24-count Friskies Prime Filets, q-tips, KMR and Clorox Cleaner spray. Thank you, Debra! Everything you sent will be well used. We always appreciate boxes, they certainly helps us in accomplishing what we are doing here! Tinker is definitely the leader of the 12 pack of kittens. He's a very busy boy. Those extra toes of his help him achieve his orneriness level! Dunakin is another very active kitten. He stirs up the 12 pack and gets them playing. Zander enjoys giving Cyrilla baths. Racer & I went downtown yesterday and talked to a business that does T-shirts. We're in the process of ordering t-shirts  with the new logo on it!

Paddy Purr has a nip problem.

More Kitten Shows!

I will do another kitten show tonight (Friday May 6th) around the same time (8pm EDT).

Racer's evening Kitten Shows are a big hit, so much fun for the viewers and the kittens! We received a BOX from Linda T.! She sent a gift card from Meijer's for kitty litter (which of course we use ALOT of!) and some Royal Canin can kitten food (good food for growing kittens). Thanks so much Linda, we sure do appreciate you! We had our monthly taping for DCTV show yesterday. This new segment should start airing next week. Thanks to DCTV for giving us this opportunity. A Labor of Love Dog Rescue also showed 2 of their dogs. Murka is now my new desk cat. He curls up right in front, watching the screen. Our oldster Magenta has gained 2 ounces! She's so small, stays right around 5 pounds. Asha just jumped from ground level up to a shelf about 3 feet up, what an improvement. Farrah is doing great. Her chipped tooth from her fall earlier this week is doing fine. Please remember to apply flea prevention to your dogs and cats now, before flea season is in full swing! Prevention is much easier than treating an infestation.

Grommit Blues

Just don't ask him to play his saxophone for you.

The Kitten Show Redux

The Kitten Show last night was a great success. It's amazing the energy level that comes from a rescue center full of kittens! I received TWO phone calls yesterday asking for more Kitten Shows. Subra, Leotie and Deek's mama has a name! It's Queenie for our webcam viewer QueenofKings. She's really a nice, very young adult cat. Queenie is mostly white, with a tiger tail and a few gray tiger splotches on her. She loves to rub on legs. Road construction still going on with our road & possibly will be back in front of our house today. Right now there's 4 cats looking out the window trying to see where all the noise is coming from. Farrah's neck can't stretch any further! We got 2 BOXES last night. LindaInKansas sent some Royal Canin Dry Babycat food-they absolutely love it. The crunchies are teeny tiny size--just right for small kittens. Oskarsophie sent something for our oldsters--Friskies Tender Cuts made for seniors. Thanks so much both to Linda & Oskarsophie. We have so much to be grateful for with all the support we receive. Zander was bathing a kitten this morning. Paddy Purr was playing with little Subra while Missa totally ignores them!! Raza's 2 kittens Scribbles and Ketzie has climbing down to an art now. Pocus and Peterson still love taking naps together.

And then there were 22... Kittens!

The mama cat to Subra, Deek and Leotie was spayed yesterday. We are going to try to convince her to be an inside cat--the first day she desperately wanted OUTSIDE, where she was familiar. We'll talk to her and explain how INSIDE is so much better. Don't have her named yet, but will very soon. She's almost all white with a tiger tail and a few tiger spots on her. The 3 kittens (Subra, Deek and Leotie) are now down and running around like crazy kittens should. It's definitely time to do the kitty shuffle walk around here. It's so energetic here with the kittens, but please, keep pushing for people to spay/neuter those cats. Racer did another Kitten Show last night-so much fun! Thanks Racer for letting our viewers see the action, complete with sound. We had BOXES last night! CGR sent another beautiful collar, either for Asha or another cat here in need. Asha thinks she's beautiful with her new collar (which she is). JATCAT sent 3 cases of Fancy Feast canned kitten food, which is in high demand right now. FELINETOYZ sent IAMS dry kitten food, one of our favorite foods to use. QUAY sent Fancy Feast Appetizers food & Whiskas pouches. We put one box of pouches in the food cabinet to use right away. Thanks so much for all of your support. It is such a good feeling to have our food shelves stocked, a feeling of security. YOU ALL are as important to us as the people in our local community are. Putter told me this morning that he thinks he's extra important now, being Sheriff Putter (see pics on facebook). That cat is getting quite a wardrobe!

I will do another Kitten Show tonight. It's too hard to really pin down a time to do these shows, since you never know whats going to happen around here on any given day, but I will try to start between 7pm and 8pm EDT. As always, the cam is on 24/7 so you will have the big cats to watch til I can get the kittens out.

Captain Birk

Yay for adoptions!

Our gray/white Tumble was adopted yesterday. He went into a home where the new owners are home all day with him. I do believe he will be one wonderfully spoiled boy! We also took in 3 more kittens. Their names are Subra, Deeka and Leotie. They are about 8 weeks old, 2 girls, 1 boy. They are all variations of gray tiger & white and black tiger and white. One short, one medium and one long hair--quite a variety. We heard from Mvula's family and all is well. Nova was playing with the new pirate ship toy today and was in a drag-down tackle fight with it. I believe the ship won. This morning, Emaline was fast asleep with 4 of the little kittens, all snugged around her. Every time we go into June's Room, Raza's kittens run as fast as they can and right up our legs. We have become trees again. We have seen 6 of the 12 older kittens already on the Cat Go Round wheel.

Sylvio

Sylvio is such a handsome boy. He was a very loved cat by his family but they no longer could keep him. He adjusted quickly here, and is a pretty laid back cat. When he was a kitten, he was found by the family's malamute. The dog brought him from the woods to the house, where the family decided to keep him. Sylvio and the malamute were best friends. He's still a young adult, only 5 1/2 yrs. old. Sylvio has a play streak in him too--loves the toys. He, as you would guess, gets along great with the dogs here. We love to brush him daily as he so thoroughly enjoys it--even rolls over for a belly brushing! He's always been an inside cat and loves laying on the window shelves to bask in the sun. A handsome boy, super friendly and enjoys people. 

Shave and a Haircut

The new kitten Dunakin has joined the group of 12 already. He knew exactly what to do to get "his way" to play with the other kittens--mew, mew, mew and more mews! So, now he's happy having a big group of "siblings". We had the new audio on the web-cam a few times yesterday. The audio and new cam seem to be working very nicely. Racer has been very busy updating pictures and videos which you all will be able to see. Brought Oliver in from Cat's Cove for his spring grooming job. He now sports a bald belly area and perfectly groomed fur. He has the longest fur of any cat I've ever seen. Now all 3 of the long haired cats are done--Oliver, Gus & Fabio. Grommit is doing wonderful-just a slight stiffness in his back right leg. Zander is a very graceful 3 legged cat with the most handsome eyes ever. Raza's 6 kittens are growing fast and round. Our next 2 Meet & Greets will be May 14 & May 28. This is when the Rescue Center and A Labor of Love Dog Rescue join up for a morning of extra showing of dogs and cats. We will combine both of these with a garage sale. Also remember the BIG garage/craft/bake sale on June 9th thru 11th in Bryan, Ohio. This event will have a finale on June 12th, ending with a Volunteer Appreciation Day here at the Rescue Center, starting at 2:00.

The Kitten Show was a success!

Thanks to Racer for setting up the Kitty Show last night--it was fun and complete with sound. The kittens even wore a little sign reminding people to vote! They also played big time with their new pirate ship toy. Thanks, viewers, for sharing in our fun. We also had 2 packages arrive yesterday. One was from CGR--these were 3 beautiful collars--all for Asha! When she gets tired of one, we can switch. Thanks cg--Asha looks stunning with her new collar on. Thanks too to the person who donated the KMR powder. If you'd like to let us know who sent this, I'd love to give proper thanks to you. It's a well used item here with all these kittens. We took in a new little baby yesterday, a little black male kitten with a white mark on his tummy. Just 6 weeks old, found in a park. He is named Dunakin, after the people who rescued him. He's a cutie! We now have over 400,000 total views on our web-cam. This is just amazing to me. I remember when we reached our first 1,000 and thought that was simply awesome! I heard from the family that adopted CLOUD--she's doing great, settled in very quickly and is sleeping on the bed already! A good report.

Also, for those of you wondering about Hiro, he has been found! He has been staying with a neighbor.
