So What's Going On.....

Wow! It was recently brought to my attention that the last blog entry was July 1! That's three weeks! I am happy to say that I have lots to report. As you already know Francesca went home last week. Well, Tabs and Puddin both went home on Saturday. These three cats were the featured new guys in the July 1 entry.

Sally got a hold put on her at the Shelter yesterday and the app was approved today! Hooray for our gal Sal! She is going home tomorrow night. She is being adopted by a gentleman with a young daughter so it sounds like life will be good for Sally.

There is a hold on Linsey and the application is being processed. The last I heard there was a discrepancy with the vet reference. I will keep you posted on this one.

I brought three new cats to PetSmart this afternoon. They are Wilma, Donald and Anna. Wilma is a big calico who is very vocal! She is very nice and adores attention. Donald is a gray and white young male. He is sweet and a little scared. He is a personal surrender and his owner could no longer keep him. Anna is all gray and is very pretty. She is a little timid right now but I think she will be just fine. The Shelter sent a box along with her that apparently she finds comfort sitting in. I set that on the bench as it is too big for the cage. She seemed content to be in the cubby within the cage. All three settled in and I think will adjust quickly. For now I did not open their cage doors as I want them to slowly acclimate to this new situation. Keep an eye on them when letting cats out as we don't know how they will react to the others. If it appears things look good we can open the doors between cages and give them space.

I think we should refrain from putting blankets in with litter boxes whenever possible. I made one cage the "bathroom" on the top row and put two large litter boxes in it. I removed everything else. Also, in the big cage the extra large bowls are enough food and water for two cats. There is no need for four bowls in that cage. I put a blanket in that little cubby spot as the cats like to get in there. Remember, we want the cages to look as clean and as uncluttered as possible.

We had more "no shows" in the last two weeks that we have had in almost the entire time we have had this program at PetSmart - must be something in the air!! PLEASE keep an eye on the schedule and mark your calendars!

The rest of July is fine and all of August is covered with the exception of the adoption table on Sunday, August 31.
