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.

Farrah the Foster Kitten

Farrah is our newest foster kitten. She will be with us until she leaves for her New Jersey rescue in about a week. Farrah is about 6-7 weeks old, all black with some random white furs on her legs. She is a doll and sweet as sugar!

Sweetie left us for Persian Rescue on Saturday. We were both so upset to see her go, but we know she is in wonderful hands. In fact, here is the email update we got on Saturday night....

“The eagle has landed” approx 2 1/2 hours ago. Sweetie settled in without as much as blinking, I am really amazed. I have her in a room with my oldest girl and a shy 3-year-old, and there was no hiss, no nothing: she marched around, used the box, eat some, drank some, then curled up on one of the leather armchairs, as if she had decided, “okay guys, I am home now, let’s just all get along here, and I’ll be a good girl.”
