Busy afternoon

 Tommy was taken to the vet, by Tim. And brought back in time for dinner.

One of Nutmeg's kitten was taken off as well because s/he was off its dinner and had a temperature. (I got to hold the kitten still while Tim figured out why the thermometer wasn't working). Later on, David only saw 4 kittens in Nutmeg's enclosure while he was giving them lunch and pushed the panic button. We ran around, looking under everything, until I remembered the thermometer incident and put 2 and 2 together to come up with the missing kitten.

The detritus under the linen shelves is gross. It will be cleaned next Wednesday and two dozen ping pong balls added to the to-be-cleaned bucket! 

One of the fostered kittens was adopted this morning which put the mums and kittens feeds behind. And a woman came in to discuss the advisability of getting a kitten for her 2 pre teens to go with their labra-dog. She will return when they get back from holidays.

Then a boarder arrived early. And later another asked if it could arrive early. (Actually it's person made the phone call.) And June's people were supposed to pick her up today. No show. They owe us mucho $$$ for her very long stay. 

Our chief Friday-vollie-cat-cuddler made friends with Kitty this afternoon. 

Kitty's new best friend
He also fell in love with Claire, the kitten.

And another family of teenagers arrived to choose a kitten for one of them. There was an interesting dynamic going on there. Eventually they/she chose Owen. I think it was a very wise decision on her part because they have similar characteristics: observers, quiet, deferential, stubborn. Owen needs a vaccination so they will be back tomorrow.
