We have taken on several new cats and a kitten.
HORACE--a sweet little black kitten with a tiny white bit of fur on his throat. He's 9 weeks old and has been cared for by a lady who cannot keep him due to an extended vacation. His birthday is June 16, 2017.  He's a sweet and friendly kitten. 

NSUKU--pronounced nn-sue-koo, which means gold. And she certainly has beautiful big gold eyes. Nsuku is a full blooded white persian.  She's a little shy but welcomes our pets and sweet talk. Her birthday is 8/1/15

JULIANNE--another beauty! She is a white full blooded persian also. Her birthday is 7/1/15. She's a bit more outgoing and certainly likes attention! 

These two persians were shaved a couple months ago so their fur is not the long lavish persian fur length yet. But....they are so soft and their fur is in the process of growing out. 

We had our Fun-Raiser last night! What an exciting evening that was. 

Here's some of the details:
Item A--Bob Bonn portraits--30 tickets sold  $150
Item B--Wanda's Portrait--64 tickets sold  $320
Item C--Cat Wheel--161 tickets sold   $805
Item D--Keyboard/stand--33 tickets sold   $165
Item E--Kuranda Tower--166 tickets sold   $830
Item F--Walter, Walter, Walter--24 tickets sold   $120
Item G--Bago Quilt--83 tickets sold   $415
Item H--iPad Air 2--171 tickets sold   $855

This total came to $3660.  But........we had some bump ups!  We love those bumps! The total climbed to $4,200!  I am so very deeply grateful for this. These surgeries that we do, although they are much reduced in price, still cost us. And at the numbers we are doing, the total cost climbs!  I am thrilled to say that we have enough money to cover all of the surgeries for tomorrow and then a bit to set aside.  Please.....know how very grateful I am for this.  You, our webcam friends, totally rock! 

Thank you to the mods and admins for promoting the fun-raiser, to all those that purchased the items for the sale, to the ticket buyers and to the encouraging congrat people!  The cats threw a party for you all last night, in your honor---chicken, tuna and sardines galore!
