Keep your warm coats, gloves and scarfs near........a big cold front is coming our way. Next week is predicted to have subzero temps. If this is the same for your area, please be sure pets stay warm. They may need some help.
Ways to help pets that are outside:
Provide a shelter and adding insulation is bonus. remember a warm big blankie.
An electric water bowl will ensure that the water won't freeze.
You can also use an electric water bowl to put the dry food in.
In subzero weather, consider bringing your pet into a garage.
If pet is wet from the snow, towel dry off so body temp doesn't dip.
Heated mats and beds are wonderful to help keep your pet warm.
Consider a food warmer so the can food can be given at a warm temperature.
We had a Flash Sale this week. I thank all involved, from providing the items to those that purchased the items and the help from the mods. We pulled in $710 for this sale. That amount will go towards our electric bill which is quite high right now. Thank you!
Magic now has his bum sutures removed. Dr. Darcy did an awesome job of helping him. The suture line is right above where he puts his bum-pad down. He's out and about now full time and he is so happy about this. I've reminded him though that he will need frequent bum checks!
This coming Wednesday at 11:00 is another Flash Sale..........specifically a Warped Sale! We received 2 more boxes from Warped and of course, everything in the boxes are awesome! A lot of new prints!
Myles is doing great. He has been coming on Thursdays with his Auntie Peggy. This next Thursday, Myles will come to stay. He is now one ounce shy of being 2 lbs! Thank you, Peggy for your good care. He is actually on hold already by a wonderful lady. He will be here in the Rescue Center though for a bit with us.
We took on a new kitten. Her name is Alexandra (a Name a Cat name). She is all black with a little white on he tummy and a tiny white tip tail. Such a sweetie--she's so silly. Will run away from you and then when she is called, she comes running full steam back to you! She and Sparrow and Nugget were playing this morning. A friend of ours had found her outside by herself. She had some flea dander but a sudsy bath took care of that. She also went to HumaneOhio yesterday for her spay. She is 13 weeks old with a birthdate of 11/4/20.
We had a HumaneOhio day yesterday! We sent up 43 cats. This was made up of 26 females and 17 males. So far for 2021, we've spayed/neutered 131 cats. It was probably one of the hardest check outs that we've done. About 45 minutes before the transport truck arrived, it started snowing heavily. And it continued and continued. Our go home instruction papers were wet as were the papers from HumaneOhio. We kept the covers on the cat crates until the very end of their discharge. The people were patient and understood. Just an FYI--we will not have an FFRC surgery date this Saturday.
And then today......awesome morning! We had THREE adoptions, both for two kittens that are much loved. Today is a special day....it's Gracie's 18th birthday. Remember, Gracie helped me with bottle feeding that little Nugget. She was the night time feeder for many weeks. He stole her heart long ago and she has mentioned a few times she would love to have him. So.....after a scavenger hunt with 10 clues today that led her all around the Rescue Center, she was led to a box. And in that box was a stuffed cat which she traded for a real kitten.....none other than Nugget! He is her kitten now forever!
And then.......my phone rang and it was for another adoption! Someone said they were in the parking lot and was ready to adopt none other than CDot! I said come on in. So, in through the door came.......me!! It was a fun thing but I did officially adopt CDot.....he is now mine forever. And ever and ever! CDot Moss!
Joy Joy also was adopted. She went to a home where she now has a mom and dad and is the only cat. The new owners have lots of patience and will give Joy Joy all the time she needs to settle in. Joy Joy has turned into a play machine--she loves to play with everything! We sent one of her favorite toys home with her. She is the sweetie that was dumped at WalMart and one of our volunteers rescued her.
Have you found the daily 3 hearts? If not, join the fun. On the cams, each day 3 hearts are put somewhere in sight of the cam, This is our 4th day for this and will end on Valentine's Day. It's just a fun thing to do during this snowy and cold time. If you find the hearts, you can say you found them, but don't say where! That way others still can find them!
