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.

 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.

Adoptions picking up

The excellent news over the weekend is that there were adoptions:

Rhapsody. . . . no surprise there.

Beauty . . . . . you little beaut!

Sarah  . . .  hallelujah!! 

Maggie has moved into Rhapsody's stand alone

Truffle is where Beauty was. I straightened out her hammocks and covered the nasty wire shelves and she was much happier. Robyn gave her some toys and she played.

And Star is where Sarah was. Out of Incoming at last. Her last kitten, Pluto, is still there though. She is in Syd's condo. He has gone to a foster home! Nancy is still with us.

And then a man come in looking for a pair of cats. Did he come to the right place! I showed him them all and he decided that he needed Princess and Precious because they are pet names at his place. I had a terrible time getting the computer to behave when adopting a pair of cats and buying miscellaneous mercandise. Poor Tim will have to sort it out tomorrow. But the buyer was very patient with my ineptitude. He was even more patient when Princess took off when I tried to put her into a carrier. She jumped off the back of my right hand with her back leg and took some of my skin with her. Of course, I dripped blood all over the place. Catsie had to use all her St John's skills to bandage me. Eventually we got her into a carrier. (Precious was no problem at all). The patient new owner happily took them both off. 

I had a cuddle with Maggie.

Robyn had a cuddle with Ginger Megs.

Geoff came to measure the movable play place for a flip up top. I am told that Sootie had a lovely play in it over the weekend. Sammy and Cypher gave themselves a fright this afternoon and went back into their condo.
