Important Logistical Information!!

Stacey (PetSmart Manager) was having difficulty locating the vendor that supplies the hand sanitizer for the dispenser in the adoption room.  The vendor was located, the product ordered and received and the dispenser is now full and functioning!!  Yay!!  The small bottle of sanitizer was left on the table for those who choose to use it.

Over 40 sheets of cut paper were left at the store today and layed out so they will not roll up.  Please do not automatically replace the paper every time you clean.  Only replace it if absolutely necessary.  Filling the water bowls half way, rather than to the top,  helps preserve the paper as the cats are less apt to spill it.  Also, if the bowls are filled up to the top when we open the cages the water spills out onto the paper. 

For those who do the Adoption Table: When a cat goes home please give the adopter the cage card as well.  There is no need to save them and the adopters can keep it with their records.

There is a bald spot on the back of Tiger - between the shoulder blades.  Medical is aware of it.  It appears he had a reaction to the flea control. Tiger also is one of those cats that destroys his cage at night.  He definitely seems a bit sad or stressed.  So far no urine outside the box...which is good news.  Many customers are remarking on his size and expressing interest so hopefully he gets to go home soon.

Pip has been approved and will be leaving Wednesday night.  Princess Sophia does not seem overjoyed by the presence of the kittens - Bridget and Brandon - so do not open the door for the three to share the top row.  We will be bringing a smaller cat to fill one cage and giving the kittens two cages to share once Pip leaves.

Coverage still needed for all the Friday evening cleanings this month as well as the evening cleaning on Tuesday, September 23.  Please let me know if you are available to cover any of them. Just a reminder...for the evening cleaning you may arrive any time between 3:30 and 8:00pm.

Please remember to check your email and read the blog prior to going to PetSmart for your schedule volunteer time so you are up to date on any issues, information or changes.  Once at the store and prior to starting to clean read the volunteer notebook so you are up to speed on what things have transpired since you last saw the cats.

Thank you!!!
