Early mark

 Sharon trained a group of new vollies this morning. They did Better Row.

There were plenty of our regular vollies to do the rest. Only one border who came in today and a few empty condos. And in view of our possible move, condos are remaining empty. So far this month we have adopted 33 cats and kittens, according to Sue. Goosey was adopted over the weekend! 

Her condo is occupied by Elly who has been in the back corner of Isolation for months. She went to the vet. Is on meds. And is not eating. I hope Goosey's good vibes revive her.

I moved Marmalade and Cookie from Isolation to Incoming today. They will stay in C14 for a while to confirm that they don't have any ringworm lesions.

Valentina has been adopted too. And her stand alone is occupied by a pretty calico with a cloudy right eye also. She seems to be just as hungry as Valentina was.

It was strange that nobody adopted Harlow and Hobson. But it does make it easier for the cleaners not to have four kittens erupting from that condo. 

Hobson and Harlow

That joy has been taken over by Ruby's kittens. It is a good way to get a cuddle. They got plenty today and had an afternoon nap to recover.

 4 Kittens in a hammock: Front to Back: Piper, Bruce, Frankie, Freddy (I think). The boys are all available.

There is an older pair, Zena and Tiger in Prue and Trude's enclosure. Don't know who is who.

I got a very early mark because Sue had to attend an on line lecture at 6pm and she wouldn't have got home in time for that anyway. So Aslan got his dinner early for a Wednesday. Sue took Ravyn for a walk (or vice versa).

 

Sue on Friday

 She came because she couldn't come on Wednesday (car problems) and had a ADM to train. And a Tim to talk to. Good to see her even though she can't see us quite as well as before her op. It will improve. The trainee got to watch Sharon adopting Minette (in the stand alone beside the O's) to a girl and her mum. They were all entranced by those whiskers.

Salt/Pepper, the escapee, is still on the loose. 

Our Friday vollie (who slowly loved on Kitty until she was an acceptable adoptee ie she actually loved him so much she was prepared to like other humans including a stranger) has moved on to Dory. Goosey was easy-peasy for him. She now accepts pats from everybody. Dory is more of a challenge. He worked with small bits of the squeezy soft food on the floor and gradually Dory came forward to eat them. I noticed at dinner time that Dory was more relaxed. (?Full of squeezy food.) 

My camera is defunct. When I took photos with my phone it ran out of juice. But here is Nutmeg who was found talking to Lola earlier in the day. . .. in the front foyer.

 Cookie and Marmalade are resigned to their boring stand alone. . . . except when somebody passes with food.

Don't know why nobody has adopted the last of the H litter:

Harlow and Hudson

 Or the last G kitten, either.

Thanks to Joy for her three finger photos on Wednesday for Peanut:

Look at those whiskers!

 And Cheeto and Luna . . . are they related?

Quick post

 This will have to be quick because I have a committee meeting by Zoom in 15 minutes.

 We had a donation this afternoon from a deceased estate. Luckily it included a bag of pine litter because we are down to our last bag.

 The daughter is visiting from the UK. If she was living here she would have taken the O boy who with his 2 sisters has been moved to the stand alone beside the door. That is a popular spot at the moment for adoptions!

Odysseus is all by himself on Better Row.

But that is the exciting place to be. One of Salt and Pepper escaped from the condo below and took off over the balcony. Last seen running across the drive and up the passageway behind Building 1. Tim has set up a trap just across from the garage below us. The food in is has disappeared but nothing has been trapped. I left the remains of the chicken that was bought last week for Lilly the tiny kitten who would only eat chicken. There is plenty more in the freezer.

And there is Ruby and her kittens who will be moved into PC's space because PC has found another foster home. Let's hope they can put some weight on him. Ruby's lot will go to be desexed tomorrow. They were having a final suckle this afternoon.

Ruby et al

We have another Jerry. This one came in from foster with a Ben. Told you we should have spelled Mouse's Jerry with a G for Geraldine.

There are only 2 H kittens and 1 G kitten left.

No poo bags!

We have cleared the backlog. There is space in one Willoughby bin and one empty Willoughby bin in the basement! And there are no boarders to add to the poo pile. Plus lots of cats were adopted over the weekend including Minty, the birthday girl who must have been with us for more than 2 years. Her sister Rascal is still with us. And Rosie was adopted. Roxie, her mum, doesn't seem perturbed. 

I moved Wolfgang into Enclosure 1. It smelled just fine before I did. But it smelled of entire male soon after he moved in. Let's hope that odour does not persist. He got used to more space, slowly,

Wolfgang

There is a new cat in Better Row called Mimi. Kath introduced herself to Mimi and had a friend for life within seconds.

Mimi

This was after she assembled over a dozen new folders for more adoptions this week, please.

 There are four lovely H kittens who are ready to go (as soon as the paperwork is uploaded). They are in the corner condo under where Tilly was.

Harry and Harvey

Harlow and Hazel

The highlight of a slow afternoon was that PC claimed his chair and was pestered by folk trying to help him clean himself up.

PC after with a pile of tags.
