After COUNTLESS holds and applications Iris finally went home on Wednesday night. She patiently waited while the right home was chosen for her. Taye went home over a week ago and I neglected to give him a proper send off!! My bad!! Remember a while back when he left only to be brought back the very next day? He, too, patiently waited after that disappointment. Good luck to both of our guys in their new homes.

Jill was not doing well and never quite seemed to settle in so was picked up by staff and returned to the Shelter. Some of the cats just do not do well in the PetSmart setting. It can be sensory overload - what with customers, different volunteers at every feeding, dogs at the windows, etc. Jill will do better awaiting her home in the calmer confines of the Shelter under the watchful eyes of the staff.

Three new cats will be brought to PetSmart on Saturday, March 31. I will post who they are once I have them settled in. I plan to do some rearranging, too. Apparently Freckles is a tad resistant to a new roommate. I'll have to see about what to do with the big cage.

The April calendar is just about full. The following mornings still need to be filled: Friday, April 6, and two Saturdays, April 21 & 28. One evening needs to be filled, Wednesday, April 18. The adoption table is usually open on Wednesdays however if you are available only to clean and feed that is just fine. The table is open Monday, Tuesday and Friday that week.

I am kinda happy to see March end. Adoptions slowed down considerably both at PetSmart and at the Shelter. I hope April proves to be more like January & February.
