Sunday, October 27

Our new treatments are still on-going, but starting to be checked off the list! As you know, all tapeworm injections are now done. As of 6:00 last night, all Bordetella intra-nasal vaccines are now done. Both of these treatments are a one-time deal with the Bordetella being repeated in a year if still here. The antibiotic treatment is half way done! They have all received their first week of this "sensitive" antibiotic. Today is an off day with it being given again this coming week on Monday, Weds., Thursday or Friday! So, we are nearing the end. I'm very grateful as this is all very time consuming. We've had very minimal coughs/sneezes from the modified live vaccine of the Bordetella. All in all we appear to have a very healthy group of cats and kittens!

Our Afghan Auction was awesome! It ran 24 hours, with wonderful results! Afghan A went for $260 (Billypogo). B went for $253 (Lynn). C went for $205 (Nikko).  D went for $305 (Hull).  E went for $301 (Oilsandsgirl). We also had $276 pitched in extra by Maddysnana, Aunty Fi, Gusti and Justme. The grand total came to $1600--wow, just fantastic! We had over 140 bids from 40 different people!

It appears we had quite a problem with Octavia the other night. Due to some "poor behavior choices" on her part, she was put in jail (pen) and had to have help with her bond! We truly need to hire a detective as now I understand there's a different story to be heard. Maybe Octavia wasn't quite the "bad girl" as thought of for her crime. LBG (Little Brown Guy) had to have his vaccination (Bordetella) yesterday too and felt pretty sorry for himself and asked for a bandage on his nose, which also covered his mouth. Well, it turned out that Zelda may have had a part in this and wanted LBG to have that bandage put on to keep him quiet. Hmmmmm, now I'm not sure what to believe, but the second story is that Zelda might've done the "bad crime" that Octavia was blamed for and LBG was witness to it. Hmmmmm......not sure which cat to believe now!
But, we have lots of people to thank for sending in Octavia's bond money! So, thanks to the following for helping our girl get her freedome: Karie B from IL, Joan N from NY, Billypogo, Julie P, Oilsandsgirl (for attorney fees), Tammy C, Amy H, Wacats, Ju-in-ji from Netherlands, Laurie H from WA, Faith M from MD, Kathie S from FL, Debra T from OH, pupnkittylovr from TX, Anna B from France, Gusti from Germany, Laurie G from ME,Colleen P from CA, Cheryl L from WA, Marilyn B from IL, Maddysnna from NC, June K from NY.  This came to a grand total of $310--isn't that just wonderful! Thanks for the fun that we had with this! 

We had an adoption yesterday! Our wonderful Viola went to her new home. She is going into the home that also has Theo. What a wonderful girl she is. This new mom of Viola's will give her lots of loving!

We have several other cats on hold--Gancache, Trusty & Puzzone, Venus and Camilla and Sasha. 

Our 3 "arkey" kittens are doing great. They are growing and so very active. Shiloah, the mama to Sasha, Sunny and Sadler is a wonderful young adult. Her 3 babies are growing and love to run and jump out at our feet. They are play-machines! Faraday, the Snoops look alike, is such a calm boy. He is gorgeous and loves to watch the kittens play. Venus, the new siamese kitten is wonderful and has just fit right in. She's very comfortable now and loves to play with all the cats. What a purr-girl she is! 

Dodger, Harley and Keeley are slowly but surely feeling better each day. They're the ones that came in with massive diarrhea and fleas. It'll take a while to get their fur coats in good condition, but their body weight is increasing and they're happy now! Pasha will have her shoulder sutures removed this week. This little kitten can fly on 3 legs. 

The 3 "arkeys"---Markie, Barky and Zarkey!
