A quiet Friday

 Thank goodness, After last week.

The only visitor we had was a cat rescuer/hoarder who came from the Western Suburbs to check us out. She was rather strident. Luckily Irene was there and dealt with her. Her friend bought lots of merch.

Lani came too with her magic UV torch to show up ringworm. She found quite a bit of it. There may be more residents in Isolation if Tim confirms her diagnoses.

Spook and Spell seemed to be free of it but their mum definitely has a nose full.

 Ginger Meggs came in to board. His person is quite frail after repeated spinal surgeries. I had to carry Megsie in from his car. The cat was, as usual, not impressed but he will remember us and become friendly and sweet, as usual.

"This is what I think of your chicken"

 I rearranged Sparrow's hammocks to a higher level. He loves it. And it proves that cats can see better with half an eye than humans can with two.

 Irene made cats available for adoption this weekend:

Itchy and Scratchy are a bonded pair.

Pickles is available for adoption and is a great favourite with the vollies because she is friendly, furry and funny.

Mango and Truffle who used to be Garrett and Jean upstairs. They have reverted to their original names and are a bonded pair.

 Also Artemis and Aura are  available.

All available cats have moved to the main floor. The Transit Lounge is now Quarantine where cats are to be "parked" for a fortnight to make sure that they don't have any nasty diseases (like ringworm) before being moved to the main floor for adoption. While in Quarantine they are "not to be handled". This was a great disappointment to the vollies today who were all ready to gather in a circle with a tiny kitten each on their lap. The kittens missed it too. 

 

Goodbye Sesame

I was worried when I realized that Sesame was not in her condo and it had the "please clean" sign. She wasn't in the Available for Adoption file, on the website as having been adopted. I worried that she had taken a turn for the very worst. But Irenne rang in the afternoon to check on the flu cases and told me that Dr Kim came in on Sunday to teach her how to give vaccinations and spotted Sesame. When Sesame first arrived it was via Dr Kim for a checkup. Dr Kim fancied her then. She fancied her even more on Sunday. So on Monday, she came to adopt her. She will have expert, constant veterinary care and we hope she does not get as fat as Angus.

Below Christopher are four more Stephanie kittens. These are not so over-the-top friendly as the previous bunch. In the photo they are, starting from 1 o'clock, clockwise: Hank, Jean, Logan and Anna Marie.

Charles has been returned "because he was too playful".

And Nori was returned because he sneezed.

Another woman came in with a donation of weird shaped litter boxes. She adopted Paco and Ethan in the early days. She, and the family, love them. They have made being house-bound very enjoyable (although she suspects that the cats prefered to have the house to themselves). She has a teenaged son who drops his dirty clothes on the floor. One of the cats adds his smell to the pile. What to do? [I told her to call Tim]. The annex has been rearranged and has lines on the floor that the germs are not allowed to cross.

Belle was looking better today. She has her appetite back.

Marigold's flu seems a bit better but Lily is miserable (but she still managed to purr at the vollies).
