Farrah the Foster Kitten Update

Do y'all remember Farrah the foster kitten? Well, she's all grown up and skateboarding now! LOL

I recived this email update from her mom:
Thought you might enjoy this. (she is on a leash - just can't see it). She is so much fun!! Her tail is very fluffy! She is the best cat we have ever had the joy of loving. She is so much fun to watch and has a fantastic personality. Loves to be outside and doesn't even mind her leash. If you ever foster another like her, please let me know!

AWWW!!!!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, RAMBLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Ya'll!

Hello everyone! Been a long time, but we just wanted to check in and let you all know we are all doing very well! As of last week, we've all had our yearly vet visits and all checked out well. Maya has lost some weight, so we are trying to fatten him up a bit. Dixie Dog's eyes are getting worse by the day, but we're trying out some Ocluvet eye drops to see if they will help her see any better. So far, no improvement, but we're hopeful. We're all getting ready for Halloween. Halloween always reminds us of Cal. That was his birthday.
Hope you all have a great week! Love and miss ya'll!

Hurricane Irene Video

Our power was restored Sunday night around 11:00pm after being off since late Friday night.

We were so lucky! Here's a quick video I put together of the hurricane. Of course, it doesn't show the massive wind we were experiencing around 3:00am Saturday morning. It was too dark to film and I was pretty much cowering in the hallway feeling the house rock and listening to the ceiling make creaking noises. Seriously thought we were going to lose it. The kitties were taking shelter under the stairwell where it was safest.

Landfall occured at Cape Lookout which is literally a 10 minute boat ride from our home. Highest gusts were clocked there at 115mph. Storm surge was worse further east where most of my family lives. Most everyone who flooded during Hurricane Isabel, flooded with Irene. Irene hung around here for nearly 24 hours and we were so happy to see her go, but prayed for those still in her path. My family down east way still don't have power. It could be Thursday or Friday before they get it back on. Thanks again for all the prayers and concern!

We're Safe!

Quick update from my Blackberry.... we are all ok!  Irene made landfall about 5 miles east of us near Cpe Lookout. Power is still out, but we have the generator. heard it might be Wednesday before it's restored, but hopefully sooner.  Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers for us and ours wll continue for those in the New England area.

Necklace/Gretchen Update

Yesterday I did a post about Gretchen's hurt paw, but I accidentally called her Necklace. Necklace was her name when she was in her feral colony. I've been in such a tizzy with this storm, I don't know where my head is! Anyhoo, Gretchen's vet appointment went very well. The vet said she does indeed have a nailbed infection. She was given Convenia (antibiotic) and Vetalog (anti-inflammatory) injections. She should be good as new in a few days! Yay!

Still watching Irene and it looks like we may take a direct hit, but hopefully at a cat 2. I think we'll be pretty safe here in our home. It's on land that is 6ft above sea level and our house is on pilings, 10 feet off the ground. However, there is still a little time left to decide for sure if we're staying put. If we go, all the furries will be going with us for sure! We're praying for all of our friends in the path of this dangerous storm!

I'll try to tweet updates as much as possible, so be sure to follow us @thecreekcats!
