Happy Wednesday all! Can you believe the Holiday season is approaching so quickly? We are THREE WEEKS away from Kitty Christmas! Oh my gosh, can you believe it? We have a POD again this year and the goal is FILL THE POD!!!
What is Kitty Christmas? Well, its Christmas for the kitties! This takes place on December 2, starting at 10:00am!
This is where our super fantastic viewers and supporters send in donations or food stuffs to fill the kitty pantry for the coming year! We so love this as it brings us so much peace knowing food is there for their little tummies.
How to join in? You can send boxes to the rescue at 14597 Power Dam Road, Defiance Ohio 43512 and please make sure you put on the shipping label or box "Kitty Christmas", or they will be opened on Box Day Tuesday!
You can also send in PayPal donations as well! Please let up know if you would like that to be allocated to these different funds: Medical, General or Food!
INTAKES: Shadow! This handsome all inky boy showed up on the farm and of course, became one of Cindy's Boys! His DOB is 12/27/2019.
Then we have the Magnificent 7! These babies were brought in on 10/07/2023 and have a DOB of 09/09/2023. These seven babies were found in the cold rain, soaking wet, and one sweet sibling had already passed. They were brought to us and all seven are doing wonderful! They are Karen (F) long haired calico, Pippa (F) dilute calico, Zach Newcomb (M) black and white tiger, Little Elmer (M) orange and white, Acorn (F) tortie, Pocket (M) all orange American short hair, and Pouch (M) lighter orange face American short hair.
Then in the mix with the seven, we added one more, Charly. Charly is an orange male, that was brought in by a kind woman and it broke her heart. She was from the UK, and had to go home for a family emergency. She found Charly on October 3rd in a parking lot and bottle fed him with the intention of keeping him. He seemed about the same size as the 7, so in he went with the mix! He's doing wonderful and the others have accepted him as their sibling. His DOB is also 09/09/2023.
And last but not least, we have a new Covie! This absolutely stunning boy was having tinkle issues in his home so he came to us. His name is Fluffs and you can see why. He is a ginormous boy and so very snuggly. He also fit in just perfectly with the outside crew and already has a new best friend...Pogo!! His DOB is 10/09/2020.
ADOPTIONS: On 9/22 Cheeto Puff was adopted! He went to an amazing family from NY who had come for a visit, but definitely not to adopt...then they saw Cheeto! We'll that changed quickly and they quickly came back the next week for their boy! And Cheeto knew it too. He fell in LOVE with his new pawrents. So happy for this second chance for this boy!
Then on 10/13 our Zeke boy went to his new family! This was another fluke. A wonderful lurker Ann had come for a visit and Zeke worked his magic on her. Ann and Sean are very familiar with kitties with chronic upper respiratory kitties, so I knew he would be in the bestest hands. I'm so very happy for him.
MEDICAL UPDATES: Buckeye's back wound is looking a little rougher again, but we've switched up a couple things and are hoping to see some good results soon! Everyone keep good thoughts for our boy! He's being such a good spirit.
Vincent is our other boy we are keeping a watch on. We are not sure what is happening with him, but Dr. Darcy and I have been working on him, watching his symptoms and offering supplemental care. More on him as things progress and we get a better idea. But keep him in your thoughts. He is such a sweet boy.
UPCOMING EVENTS: November 18th at 3:00pm is our volunteer party to celebrate our super amazing volunteers. Every year we do food, surprises and fun bags for each volunteer. If you'd like to send anything for the bags, please let us know! We have approx. 35 staff and volunteers. It will be a private event again, so while the camera will be on, it will be facing another room and sound will be off. It's nice time for the volunteers to get to be 'off cam' for a bit. Thank you all so much for understanding!
AND KITTY CHRISTMAS DECEMBER 2nd!!!!! Weeeeee!
That should get you caught up on the few weeks! Thank you so much for the support you constantly provide, words are never enough to show our gratitude. I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy the start of Fall. With a happy heart ~ Megan and the Cats
