We're still so excited and happy about the rescue center winning the $5,000 from The Animal Rescue Site. We had a wonderful day yesterday. First, the big news about us winning, then we had lots of boxes and we had 3 adoptions yesterday! Warren, our handsome black/white boy left in the morning. We've already heard from the family and all is well and happy. Warren is adjusting beautifully to his new home. In the evening, Remo and Erie went to their new home together--to Bill and Angie (volunteers). I understand that the webcammers "harassed" Bill on the chat 2 nights ago about adopting a kitten! So, when he came last night, he had Sheriff Putter ready to do some webcam arrests. But at the last minute, Bill decided to withdraw the charges and Sheriff Putter said he wouldn't arrest anyone! Bill and Angie ended up with adopting 2 kittens--Remo and Erie. What fun! We've already heard back from these 2 kittens too--they're scurrying around their new home and are happy. I also received an e-mail from Betz's mom--she said Betz is sweet and doing great. Raina is now out and about, she's adjusting fairly quickly. We've got all her mats out, still working on a good thorough brush out. The people that helped yesterday were Stacey, Mary E, Sigrid, Gregg, Judy E and Pam. Kurt has been busy working on updating the website.
