Sad things happen in rescue work....it's inevitable. And we have had that happen this week. Unfortunately and with great sadness, all 5 of our Bronson kittens have passed away. One after the other. They didn't gain weight. They were not very active. People ask......why does this happen? We don't always know. But, I know they were not out in the terrible weather anymore and not soaking wet and shivery. We tried to keep their tummies full. Always a warm heater in their bed. Lots of TLC given. I wish I had a better reason as to what happen, but sometimes, we simply do not know.
We took in a new cat. Her name is Karleen and she is 1 1/2 years old. Her birthday is 5/7/20. She arrived 10/30/21. Her rear left leg had two terrible fractures--complete. Our vet amputated her leg. She arrived very thin but is already gaining weight. Her walking gait is very smooth. Karleen is a beautiful torti.
Thursday was our HumaneOhio spay/neuter day. We sent up 41 cats and kittens, 7 of which were FFRC's. The count came to 26 females and 15 males. We sent up 6 of Veronica's 7 kittens and also Killian. All have done very well.
Weds. was our Flash Sale. We have such awesome items that have been sent to us so we have been having frequent Flash Sales. I so appreciate the support of these. This one brought in $877. A wonderful amount to help us pay bills!
We will have another Flash Sale this Weds. 11/10. This one will have some Christmas items and items that would make nice gifts! Come join us at 11:00.
The washer is working great! We're just getting use to the different functions that it has!
I've been asked about Bushie. He seems off a bit but is eating. His gait just has a little limp. A week from Monday he goes back to the vet for another x-ray. It's possible his pin will be pulled. Sometimes they are pulled and sometimes left in. He is in Dodger's Pen at the moment and just devoured a whole FF appetizer!
Little Trix is still adjusting--she is our white kitten with the tiger tail. She has spent quite a bit of time in the double condo in the Main Area. It makes it easy for us to get her frequently for lots of hands on. She is right now in June's Room with her friend Killian. Trix seem pretty relaxed in that room. Ramsay says it's ok to share his room!
We still have a few calendars to be sent. We also have a few calendars we are still waiting for payment. We had a bit of a hold up on the calendars for mailing as our mailing system went down for a couple days. But all is well now.
We have a surprise calendar coming up real soon to show you. It too is amazing! More on that soon!
We are working on getting the flea treatment--Bravecto-- on all the Porchies, Fire Cats, Barnies and Covies. It takes a bit of time to get all the cats done!
All is good here. Wishing you all a great Sunday.
