We learned that Cayenee had a home all along and a family who sadly missed him! Apparently back in mid-April he got out of the house and could not find his way back. His family checked the Shelter at that time for him but he had yet to arrive. A few weeks later he was brought in by animal control. Just last week while shopping in PetSmart his mother saw him behind the glass. She knew he had that funny little bump on his tail and sure enough our Cayenne was her Bub! On Thursday she went to the Shelter armed with pictures and vet records for "Bub." Friday Bub went home! Bub's mom is also the one who adopted Iris. She said Iris is doing really well and rules the household!
I am so happy to report that Mollie went home on Saturday. Her new parents are both so nice and I know Mollie will have an absolutely wonderful, pampered life! She will be living with two other cats and of course will be kept strictly inside.
Right now we have two holds pending... The hold on Alice looks really good. All the paperwork is complete. Tracey took a hold on big old Samantha last Sunday. However, so far the necessary paperwork has not been brought or faxed to the Shelter. We are still standing by on that one.
I checked on Binky. She still is having a little upper respiratory problem. You can hear the congestion when she breathes.
Since Tag, Gossamer and Samantha are such big cats and since both Tag and Samantha are not exactly tolerant of others I am going to wait to bring new cats to the store. These big guys can not do with one cage AND a large litter box.
If you have not seen it already I rearranged our supplies. I cleaned out all the high shelves. The only items that should go there are litter pans, brown paper and paper towels. It is too difficult for many of the volunteers to access these high shelves. Tons of items had been pushed to the back and the shelves were very cluttered. The rest of the supplies (toys, brushes, medical stuff, liquid cleaners, etc) were all moved to the lower cabinets. The cabinets have all been labelled to make things easier. PLEASE return things to the proper cabinet!! Also, just a reminder...do not put any large litter pans or bowls away that have not been cleaned first. The sink in the store room does have hot water - it just takes a few minutes for it to get hot.
Please look at the October schedule. As you can see with the exception of Friday, October 5, there are several Friday evening cleanings yet to be filled. In addition there is a couple of Saturday mornings, one Monday morning and a Sunday. Please let me know if you can do any of these days.
