Farrah Leaves Tomorrow :(

Farrah leaves for her new home in New Jersey tomorrow morning. Please pray for the transporters and everyone involved in getting Farrah and 3 other kitties safely to NJ. Wow, we are gonna miss that little girl, but I'll post updates when I get them.

Glamourpuss Farrah

I've created some cute "Glamourpuss Farrah" note cards in my etsy shop. 10% of my etsy sales go to the TNR group I work with and the rest goes to help with out-of-pocket fostering costs.

Gretchen Plays

On Thursday of last week, Gretchen played for the first time since being in the house. It was the first time I was able to interact with her, other than scritches and rubs. I've also been able to trim her front nails over the course of about three days. It's not easy. I'm having to snip them as they get snagged on the string toy or a pillow. She was like velcro and couldn't hardly walk across the bed without sticking and snagging. Most likely, she's never had a nail trim.
She's such a happy girl!!

Hey Pretty Girl!

Gretchen sure is coming along! She is always laying on the bed and we've even been able to snuggle and nap with her. We are so happy with her progress. We'll soon take her to the vet for FIV/FeLV testing and start integrating her with the others. We know she misses having other feline friends. Remember, she was once in a feral colony with at least four other kitties and they were always together. Then her colony friends disappeared and that's why she's here.
Ziggy LOVES her and she LOVES him. Sometimes he sneaks in the room when I open the door and I have to catch him quickly. He's only touched noses with her for a second once or twice. There's never been a single hiss and they both purr for the few seconds they are together. Can't wait until he can visit her for longer than a few seconds. I think Ziggy will play a very important role in Gretchen's coming out of the bedroom.

Farrah The Cute!

Farrah is still here. Her URI is getting better, but she still isn't well enough to travel the long distance to New Jersey. She could be with us until next weekend or until November 13th. Whatever time we get with her, we will cherish it. I am so excited because Farrah already has a forever home to go to. I've even been in contact with her new mom. She is wonderful and she has another kitty and a yellow lab who loves cats!

Monday, Monday

The Spooktacular Fall Feline Festival was a great success. The amount we raised will fund enough spay and neuter to prevent 250 births! I believe our total was around $2000.00. So awesome! I had to leave the sale for a little bit to take Maggie May to the vet for a possible scratch on her eye that tuned out to be a painful corneal ulcer. She has a recheck today or tomorrow.
Farrah the kitten is doing well, she has a little URI, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse. She will leave us tonight to go to the foster who will be transporting her up north. We are gonna miss that sweet baby.

Happy National Feral Cat Day!

Happy National Feral Cat Day, Everyone!! Today I will be celebrating NFCD with my TNR group by holding a Spooktacular Fall Feline Festival. We'll be selling shrimp burgers, funnel cakes, spiral fries (with Bojangles seasoning) and of course, sweet tea! In addition to the yummy food, we're also having a tag sale and all proceeds from this fundraiser will be going to spay/neuter the feral/stray/free-roaming cats in our community. So far this year, we've TNR'd 165 cats, 443 since our inception in 2006.
