We Begin the 2009 Tally!

Great job while I was away!! You guys are like a well oiled machine!
.
I am so happy that Tabs will be the first on the 2009 Happy Endings list! Mamma Mia, Ashley, Jenny and Buster have all gone home also. I never even got a chance to see Ashley or Buster.
.
Four new cats arrived today and you are going to love all four! Ricky and Squiggy are orange and white young males and a tad difficult to tell apart. You can tell the difference by the amount of white on their faces. Jess is a really super cute young calico. All three are under a year old. Frankie is a handsome black and white male who is a few years old. It is a great group!
.
Crystal from the Shelter had dropped off the four earlier today and put them in the prepared cages. When I arrived Ricky, Squiggy and Jess were in separate cages along the top row and Frankie had a double cage on the bottom. The three on the top row appeared to be trying so hard to open the doors between the cages. I let everyone out and watched to see how they interacted. Ricky and Squiggy immediately ran all around together and had a blast. They are really funny to watch! Jess was hesitant to jump down and join in but seemed really intrigued by everyone playing. Frankie looked from his cage but did not want to jump down. Shannon, Thumper and Purrty had no problem with the newcomers. Poor shy Allie just hung out in her cage.
.
I decided to open the three doors on the top row and let Ricky, Squiggy and Jess room together. On the bottom row I opened all the doors and gave everyone room. Frankie did not move from his cage but the others went in and introduced themselves. I kept Carmen alone in a cage on the top row thinking maybe the other three are too young and too rough for her. We can see how that goes.
.
Please remember to initial the Daily Maintenance Check List. The managers are evaluated on our compliance so let's make them look good!
.
There is three remaining open dates in January:
Jan 16, Friday - AM
Jan 18, Sunday - Adoption Table or PM
Jan 30, Friday - AM
.
Please feel free to look ahead to February and let me know what you can do.
.
One more thing...the key (on the red lanyard) to the adoption room is MIA. Check your pockets, purses, cars, etc and see if you accidentally brought it home! If you find it just bring it back - no questions asked, I promise!
.
Get a load of this group....
