Boss Cockie day 2

Everything went smoothly thanks to Joy (walking wounded with a groin injury) and Ros. And Sue came in (despite her wrenched knee) to meet with a marketing student who is supposed to have devised a pitch for us. The student didn't show at the appointed time -- between noon and 2pm. When Sue chased her she said "I couldn't find you". She should get a big fat F.

After all the recent adoptions (Indy, Berry, Fizzy, Ham) we are looking decidedly thin on available cats. We have several who haven't been vet checked and/or desexed. And others who have ringworm or who are super shy. Folk will just have to line up outside our door.

The woman who adopted Berry and Fizzy returned their carry cages. [I got them wrong he is the fluffy and she is the shorthaired. . . .  whatever.] She came in to adopt Indy but was intimidated by Indy's size. Her 13 year old son spotted Berry who fell in love and walked into his arms. "They chose me". She is very happy and told us her life story. Sue encouraged her to share their journey on our FB page.

A new cat was delivered by Claire who brought us Marmalade, Apricot and Dorito.

Apricot

I was told that she was bringing in a pregnant mum. So I moved Tinkerbelle and Tobias (who both have potential owners hovering in the wings) into a wheely cage (the non-ringworm one) and sterilized their grubby condo for her. [We really should have a policy of moving mothers and kittens every two weeks and cleaning out their condos to prevent the poo from bonding with the paint!]

When Claire arrived she had Chevy, a boy. She believed he was a Cherry, another girl cat in "her" colony. It wasn't until he was on the vet's operation table that they discovered that he is male. He is shy. But he did eat his dinner.

And we have Ashleigh who had three tiny kitten after she was brought in on Sunday. She is not eating so has multiple dishes with many offerings.

 Harriet is developing into a very chatty, sociable cat. Her kittens are still skitty but pretty.
