Spay/Neuter Clinic Update

Just a quick update about the TNR clinic last weekend.....

57 free-roaming cats were spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ear-tipped!

This is Speckles. She was one of the 31 females who were spayed. There were 26 males neutered.
This is the NC State mobile unit where the surgeries were performed.
This is the beautiful view we enjoyed as we washed traps and carriers, monitored cats, etc. We were blessed with gorgeous weather both days. Thank goodness!

YAY FOR TNR!

Happy Birthday, Maya and Chevelle!

Today is Maya and Chevelle's birthday! Hard to believe these two bottle-fed babies are 11 years old today!

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!!!!!!
