Wow--what a very busy past few days we've had! With much help from many people who came to help with the Fence Project, much was done. It took 2 full days to get about 90% of the fence up. The remaining area will not be fenced until the cement has been poured for The House that Jonah Built. That way they will have room to move about with the bobcat and the cement troughs. We put together 2 human picnic tables, 2 Feline Snoozers for the playground area. Also resin benches for people/cats to sit on were placed inside, along with 3 outside playground toys for kids/cats. We also built a big 8 x 8 litterbox in the playground which will be filled with sand. This will be easy to keep clean. The Porchies & Covies visited us all day Friday to see what we were doing!
I'd like to give a big thanks to all the people that came to help us with this big project. Lots of friendly faces here. Some worked on the fence, some worked on the playground things, some washed windows, swept, cleaned, helped with laundry, groomed the cats. Lots of helping hands. I deeply appreciate all the fantastic help---many thanks.
Today was the day that the concrete was to be poured for The House that Jonah Built. But, it will have to be postponed until tomorrow, Weds. The cement company has a huge order of concrete needed for a pig farmer that will keep them hopping all day. So, tomorrow is our day.
We had 2 adoptions on Sunday. Jarvis and Floyd were adopted together! I do believe they will be 2 happy boys. The family was very excited.
Clarissa continues to do great. The 4 little ones are so round and sweet! We have names! Names are from Name A Cat.
AJ--Black/white, with dot on nose, in honor of Ada Jane (male)
Emmitt--brown tiger (male)
Towanda--black/white tiger with a bit of ASH (female)
Anmarie--grey tiger (female)
Such a sweet litter. Anmarie is a leg waver. Towanda loves to sleep on her back. Emmitt loves to lay on Clarissa's tummy. AJ is just way too cute!
We have many thanks to give. Our heart is full of thanks for your support.

Magic also will go on Friday for his second amputation. Then the following week, we will have 4 more cats to go for their dentals. Sevaun wants to put her teeth under her pillow! The 4 cats that are already done are doing great.
