Hi all! Wow what a busy week but it has been so fun! I’m currently sitting outside watching the ducks playing in the rain and it’s finally gotten cooler out I have Sarge sitting next to me giving me head butts for attention. I think the outside kitties are enjoying the cooler weather that’s sweeping in.

We’ve had visitors galore this week it’s been so nice. First we had Marco arriving last Saturday from Germany, and he left today. We are so happy to have had him visit us. This has been a trip he’s been planning for two whole years. He’s been such a joy to have around and we miss him already! Marco brought a plethora of goodies for FFRC and donations. The kitties and all the volunteers were so excited, because it was a lot of kitty and peopley snackers, plus essential stuffs too!

Yvonne came on Tuesday from Germany also! We just love having her here and she’s been such a help! She’s going to be with us till Monday.

We also have Helmut and Sara visiting from WI! They are cam lurkers and this is their first visit. They have been so wonderful! They brought goodies and have been put to work, including lots of repairs! LOL. We’re just loving the visitors.

We had boxes on Tuesday, I don’t know about you but I’m just loving having a set time! And oh my gosh, you guys just floor us with all the goodies!! We have so very many thanks to give for this!

Lilac Festival:
Big huge thanks to Mary Braid and Gem for taking on this event. It was such great PR for us!! They put together cute bags to give to the kids, made flyers and sold raffle tickets and other goodies. They raised a whopping $651.42!!! WOWZERS! This will go a long way towards dental bills that are rolling in.

Kitty updates:
Trusty and Puzzone and now out in the main area and seem to be doing well. Puzzone gets a little fussy at night and I think she just likes quieter time, so she happily walks into a quite room and sleeps! Overall they are doing great.

All our dental kitties are doing well, Alma, Derecho and Dude. Alma’s mega-colon is acting up but rest assured, I’ve been in contact with Dr. Darcy and working on a plan. And today she poo’d! YIPPEE!!!

Ilses babies are doing much better too from their little bout of URI! Meds are just amazing!

Rathbone is also doing great in his very own home and has quickly learned people beds are the bestest thing! He has promptly taken over Mama Debbie's comfy pillows. 




That’s all the updates for this week, thanks to absolutely everyone for supporting/watching and just simply being our friends. YOU are what makes this place so special (well and our ridiculously adorable kitties too!). Hugs to all of you, from all of us! I’m friendship ~ Megan and the Cats
