Happy Weekend!

In honor of NC's Week for the Animals, the TNR group is having a HUGE spay/neuter clinic at a place called CMAST. I do believe Madi's Mom is familiar with this location. The NC State vet school mobile unit is coming to town to spay/neuter ~50 cats in two days. Trapping starts tonight and the clinic begins at 7am in the morning. We will be trapping again tomorrow night and will be back at it at 7am Sunday morning. Gonna be a busy weekend! Wish us luck!

Last weekend I furminated the kitties on the front porch. A couple of them were lucky enough to get to walk around the yard (some with a harness). Here are the pics from our fun day :)

P.S. Have you seen the article on Dixie Dog over at the Responsible Pet Ownership blog?

Happy Easter!

I created this image today for my photoshop class

Happy Easter to all of our wonderful friends!!

We Won!

So excited to announce we won a 6 months supply of CANIDAE dog food! A few months ago we started following Responsible Pet Owner and also subscribed via email. We were so excited when we got the email last week saying we were chosen at random as the winner! Be sure to subscribe to the blog via email and you might be the chosen winner next!
We had the choice between CANIDAE dog food or FELIDAE cat food and we chose the dog food for Dixie Dog. The kitties have gotten several cool opportunites to review toys and food, so we wanted to let Dixie shine a little bit.

Speaking of shine.......

Happy Friday everyone! Great news...... Dahlia and Tiger Lily (of The Flower Kitties) were adopted this week. YAY!

They're On Their Way

The Cheddar Bos have cooled down. No more fevers! Both litters of kittens left for NJ at 3:30am this morning. Safe travels, sweethearts! You are all going to have wonderful lives! ♥

♥ HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, MAGGIE MAY! ♥

Cheddar Bo Update

6:30AM HAPPY UPDATE: They met me at the door this morning for the first time since the weekend. Their temperatures now range from normal to 103.7! Woo Hoo! Keep those cooling purrs coming!! Thanks so much! Well, we have a little improvement..... their fevers range from 103.4-104.6, no 105s. It's a slight improvement, but I'll take it :)

Every few hours I dab their pads with rubbing alcohol and mist down their bedding with cool water per the vets recommendations. That's basically all that can be done. They are on antibiotics and hopefully they are begining to take effect.

They have an awesome opportunity to travel non-stop to their rescue in NJ on Friday. This means no changing vehicles. The driver is a local volunteer. However, if they are still sick, they will miss this trip. The Flower girls will be able to go, so that is good.

Need lots and lots of prayers and cooling purrs so they can make this trip on Friday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAIZY and FERRIS!!!!!!

The Flower Girls - URGENT PURRS NEEDED

UPDATE 3:05PM: The Cheddar Bos all had 104-105 fevers, so they are fighting some kind of infection. The vet has given them fluids and antibiotic injections. They are showing no signs of URIs so I had no clue they have infections. This came on so suddenly. I'm just thankful the vet was able to see them today and hopefully they will all come through just fine. Thanks so much for the prayers!! UPDATE 8:41AM: The Cheddar Bos were dropped off to the vet this morning because a few of them were having trouble walking and one of them was shivering. I have no clue what could be wrong with them and I'm so very worried. Please pray hard for them to be ok!!!!!

Dahlia

Poppy

Tiger Lily

This photo cracks me up! Poppy does an awful lot of crying. I'm not sure why. Maybe she just wants attention? They go to the vet on Monday, at which time I will tell her Poppy cries a lot and is thinner than the other two. They all seem to be very healthy and eat very well! So that is great!

This is the photo where Dahlia tells Poppy to zip it!

I got a call about these girls on Friday. They had to get out of the shelter asap or they would be put down. Luckily, the rescue who is taking the Cheddar Bos is going to take these girls too! They may go on transport on Friday! Paws crossed!

The Cheddar Bo Kittens

Meet the Cheddar Bo kittens. I named them the Cheddar Bo kittens after the Bojangles Cheddar Bo biscuit. YUM! There are 5 of them and they are about 8 weeks old. They all look so much a like, it's so hard to tell them apart. I also cannot determine genders yet. When I do, I plan on naming them after cheeses. They will be with me until Saturday. Then they will be going to the same NJ rescue as Redford and the Pasta Kittens






Here is the other litter (gray tabbies) that was also rescued from the shelter. I had them at my house for a few hours until their new foster mom came to get them. So crazy how all five kittens in both litters looked identical. There was no variety at all!Great news! Linguine of the Pasta Kittens was adopted the day after she arrived in NJ!
