Thursday, June 14

10 days to the Catathon! We had another meeting yesterday--plans and organizing are at full speed. TODAY IS THE DAY that the pictures of the baskets, big ticket items and sale table items will be made public. When that happens, I'll let you know via the cam and FB that it's there for all to see! A thousand thanks to Angie, Jenni and Lenz for making this happen!

Our new kitten, Weber is a brave little soul. He's already been cruising about a little, but he's so small, that we encourage naps in a pen. We also took in another new kitten yesterday, called Mariska. She arrived after being found at a local school--probably dumped off, and with a major leg injury. Her front right leg , including the shoulder, is completely useless. We're not sure what happened to her, but what we do know is that this leg is not a functional leg and definitely impedes her mobility. So, today is surgery day for her to have it removed. Once that happens, this little girl will find it so much easier to move around. Her and Weber are becoming friends and even spent the night together, probably sharing stories.

That foursome group of kittens--the black crew (Faleen, Faleena, Raymond and Raymondo) are the cutest little babes. They purr the second you even think about touching them! Such loverbugs. So is the other one of that litter--Floria. They will be spayed/neutered on the next big surgery date. Buckeye, Obadiah and Purrby had dried leaves trapped out on the outdoor enclosure yesterday. I think they thought they were alive--they acted like they had made a great "catch"!

I have to apologize for an error (yes, another error!) that I made yesterday. The cookbooks that were donated to the volunteers were from Betz, Mary E and Anonymous. Thank you ever so much and I'm very sorry for the mistake. The volunteers have been so appreciative of this kind deed!
