Still raining

 The rain caused traffic havoc that delayed two vollies and stopped another vollie's car from starting. It also kept away the person who was going to come to choose an older cat. But the bloke who adopted Max dropped by with his paperwork (rather damp. . . both him and the paperwork). He said that he and Max were getting on very well. Max was leaning against his leg and purring so he put his hand down to give Max a pat on the head and chomp. He ended up in hospital on IV antibiotics. He didn't see any cats that he fancied today. . .. . once bitten, etc.

But Max has gone to Katie's for a break. Juliet has moved into the Palace to await her Romeo. She may be moved to Jackie's condo if we can persuade a nice person to foster her for a while to see if she gets better in a home. She cries a lot in the cattery. And there is no room in Boarding for Juliette. It is fully booked for the school holidays. Luigi and Bambi are coming in. And Daphne (now known as Tilly) is in residence. She seemed very pleased to see us.

Daphne/Tilly

Ginger was in the play place when I arrived. He was very chatty. Just like he is in his condo. His ringworm treatment is finished and he has been declared cured.

We put a couple of the boarders in for a play, not together. Tip loved it. (He has a white tip on his tail). Mayka and Daphne/Tilly were not thrilled.

Tip

Sunny refused it. Or maybe it was the gloves.

At the end of the day we wheeled in the Coffee shop kittens and they settled right in. By tomorrow morning they will be all played out.

The best thing to happen was that Vicki scrubbed the snot off the inside of Star's stand alone. You can now see the kittens without opening the door (which risks an escapee kitten, usually the ginger.)

Star and her kittens

And we had a rainbow array of scoops.

A flat solar system

 Only one adoption today and it doesn't count because it was Lucky who was adopted from foster by vollie Vicky weeks ago and she just did the paperwork today. No follow ups required. He already rules the house, husband and dogs.

Steph brought in a mum and her kittens. The mum, a calico is Star. Her boy kittens are Jupiter (tabbie) and Venus (white). Her girl kittens are Saturn (champagne), Pluto (tortie) and Mars (ginger). They must have all been named when it was too early to tell what sex they were. They formed a very flat universe today when they moved into the Canin condo because some have the flu and one has ringworm. Because they are sick the Canin condo has been rolled back into Incoming and Beauty, Amelia are back beside Jackson.

Star and family

 There is another sweet ginger girl in Incoming, Ricki. Don't know where she came from.

Ricki

And Flo, a tiny kitten below Midsummer who goes home with Katie every night. She was dumped in somebody's yard. (It must be exciting at Katie's because she was flaked out all afternoon).

Flo

Sabrina and Tutu have been moved to boarding.

Sabrina and Tutu

Tigger

Tigger is where Rufus used to be. You can tell that Tigger is upset about the move, there is food in his bowl.

Rufus in above Sabrina and Tutu. He is to be picked up on Monday. I think he liked being close to the roof but he stayed out of camera range.

Rufus

And Jackie is below them. She is not well but we don't know what to do to help her tummy. She did like a little bit of chicken.

Jackie

Coco, who has been on the adoption list for some weeks while in foster, came in because her fosterers are going away. Their other cats came in to board. Coco quickly figured out how to open her condo and passed me while I was sitting close by trying to get mats from Gigi's flanks. I called a warning and when she made a bolt for the front door her fosterer grabbed her. It is never dull at Safe Haven.

Threes

 We had three visitors today.

1. Was a long time supporter. She adopted her second cat, Rigby (perhaps) from AWL Ingleside to be company for her childhood cat Annastasia. Annie loathed him on sight and has ever since. Nevertheless, she is an enthusiastic cat lover. She brought in a handsome cat igloo that Annie had only deigned to sleep in once and a cat tunnel that goes around corners. She often picks up and delivers our cats to vet appointments. So I showed her around. If Dexter disappears one day, she will be first suspect. The second may be me (us redheads need to stick together).

Dexter

Then the man who adopted Billie to go with his problem boy cat came in to give us his surplus stuff, including litter, 3 beds, a water fountain (without the filters which he will bring in later with the surplus toys). All this stuff he bought from us in the hope of enticing Billie to settle in well. She settled in exceedingly well. The boy cat used to be on anxiety meds before she came, now he is not and is perfectly happy with her. 

The third visitor came at 3:40 to adopt Oreo. It was the fastest adoption I have ever done. She was determined to have him and seems to be the perfect mum for him.

And today Kingsley came out of his bed condo at breakfast to reveal that he has only three legs! I didn't know. So now we have three three legged cats: Petey, Kingsley and Charlie. Will the next one be called Jake?

Kingsley

As soon as Oreo left, I cleaned his wheely cage and moved Fawny into it. His collar is off. Time to be on the website.

Fawny

I also moved Rula into Callie's condo. She seemed very interested in her new across the way neighbours.

We have a new cat, Mr MaGoo who has a cattitude sign but I think it might have just been initial grumpiness.

Mr MaGoo

But Jackie definitely has the shits again even though she has been moved out of Boarding.

Day Mismanager

 Everything started off well. The single bag of trash left over from yesterday actually fitted into our own rubbish bin. I eventually got to turn on the computer. And when I sat down to check the mail, etc, it had died. Frantic SMS's to Tim and frenetic head scratching at Safe finally achieved a turned on computer with the "charger" and the internet connector thingy moved from Tim's computer to the desk set up. Thank goodness for Robyn and Joy. Their computer knowledge is so much higerh than mine. . . which is not saying much.

But we have new and returned cats.

Tinker and Mayka are back from foster care. They are still shy but not as much as before.

Tinker and Mayka

Casper is back too. Not quite so retiring as she used to be but still very wary. . . so she has joined the naughty row.

Casper

We have a boarder out back. Our Miko sporting a very fancy collar with an impressive dingle dangle which clanged on her dish. So I took it off.

Miko

 

There are two new cats out back as well. Not boarders.

Jackie

Sammy

And one new cat out front who will not last long: a grey, slightly fluffy, ragdoll type Cherry.

Cherry

 Bah, humbug says her neighbor Maple.

Maple

The best news of the day is that a couple came from Haberfield to adopt Thelma and Louise. They wanted a pair to replace their single cat who died aged 18. I tried to interest them in Scrat and Puss but they really fancied T& L. Which was a good thing because I had a terrible time with the Square which kept wanting to charge them for 7 cats before I figured out a work around and then it wouldn't accept anything over the internet. Tim will  have to deal with that tomorrow. I fail computers.
