Brandon, Patsy & Ellie say "TGIF!"


When Brandon's new mom came to pick him up tonight he was all snuggled up with Patsy and the two were sound asleep. She could not bear to separate them so she decided to take both cats. Fortunately the Shelter Director was right there at the adoption table and could approve the adoption immediately. What timing!! There is no doubt in my mind that Brandon and Patsy knew exactly what they were doing!

Ellie went home as scheduled. Her new home is chock full of new toys and accessories. She is going to be one spoiled cat. Robin is scheduled to go home tomorrow.

Jenny G was kind enough to donate litter pans to the cause. They are made of nice strong plastic. The ones that are not being used are stored underneath the large cage. I labeled the cabinet door. It is not necessary to fill the pan up with any more litter than we have been using. This should keep the cages looking really clean. However, the pans will need to be kept clean. If anything adheres to the side of the pan use the quats (the yellow liquid in the spray bottle) and wipe the pans out or take it into the back of the store and rinse it out. PLEASE...DO NOT STORE ANY PANS THAT ARE NOT TOTALLY CLEAN!! We have done a great job keeping the area free of unpleasant odors. Let's keep it that way!

Four new guys are arriving tomorrow (Saturday) at about 2:00pm. They are all older cats. There is Taye (rhymes with "may"), a black and brown male tabby and his roommate, Estralita, a gray female tabby. They have been roommies at the Shelter and will share the big cage. Also arriving tomorrow is Sasha - a female torbie that was surrendered to the Shelter by her previous owner and is six years old. Last but not least, Gus, a big frendly male is joining the group.

Dare I say this? I am afraid to type it but... Cathy got a hold yesterday and the application describes the perfect househould for her. It is a mom and her 17-year old daughter - no other pets. Keep your paws crossed that this one works out! Cathy has come a long way and needs to go home soon!!
