Thursday, July 12

A wonderful day today--cat wise and weather wise! All of them have been zipping around here this morning. Although we're suppose to have a high in the 90's today, this morning is still not too warm, so the energy level is high right now! Kooper is now out and about and acting like he's always been here. Pedra is in Cat's Corner Room, still a little shy, but much better.

The cats are now back in Cat's Cove. I do believe they were all smiling! Thanks to Sigrid, Linda T and Haley for helping to transport them back to the Cove from Kitty City. They look quite comfortable with their nice clean Cove, all clean blankies, new screen windows in and 2 great fans! We then pulled everything out of Kitty City and water blasted it clean too. Even the furniture was cleaned! All is back inside the City and rearranged, awaiting it's next "duties".

As you may know, Azar has become a Porchie. Actually he's an Office Cat/Porchie Cat. During the night, he sleeps in the Welcome Room Office and during the day, he cruises with the Porchies. Remember, he was returned for aggressive behavior. He then displayed this same behavior here inside the Rescue Room. One day, he decided he was going OUT and OUT he went. Since then, he's been super sweet. Gets along perfectly well with the Porchies and quite willingly comes back to the Office for naps and bedtime.

We took in a new little kitten yesterday. His name is Fiver (another Name that Cat from the Catathon and in honor of when we had our Fiver Friday for medical needs). He is about 8 weeks old, a long hair gold/white male. Unfortunately, during our big storm 2 weeks ago, he received an injury--a piece of glass penetrated his left eye. The glass has been removed but has caused extensive damage to his eye. He's been tested and is negative! Fiver arrived with at least a thousand fleas (no exaggerating) on him. He was very dehydrated, anemic and yet purring. He's had 2 baths already, all fleas are dead, he's eating the Fancy Feast Kitten like there's no tomorow and he's still purring! He's on antibiotics and soreness meds (for his eye). If he continues to improve, we have him scheduled for an eye enucleation for Tuesday. He will feel so much better than.
