Zero chance of guessing who got adopted today!

And while you are thinking about it:

Dotty is back . . . but as a boarder. She was pleased to see me. Hence the fuzzy photo.

Paco and Ethan got adopted over the weekend. The family wanted to take only one of them but Tim refused to separate them so they took them both.

We have a new cat in Welfare, Bailey who seems sweet.

There is a huge pile of laundry because lots of the boarders have gone home already. The pile is now in my laundry and will take days.

Give up?

Zero

A lovely lady who has just moved and her two overweight, precious cats have recently died, came in because her daughters had nagged her into it. She loved everyone but decided that Zero would match her new couch cushions best. They spent ages getting to know each other and will be very happy. Zero's name will be changed probably to Lassie because she is a Scottish short hair, according to her paper work, and her new owner has famous Scottish forebears.

Charlie got out of bed for grass this afternoon.

But Zero was convinced that I was trying to feed her poison.

And Tortie displayed her two, white whiskers which stick straight out from her cheeks, on either side rather like the villian in a panto.

 Jewell was feeding the tabby kittens under the bed. But the two gingers were more than happy to come out for a cuddle.

First day

This morning I did my first volunteer stint at Safe Haven in Chatswood.
Tim was glad to have somebody else to do the work so that he could catch up on the paperwork, I think. He was finishing up feeding when I arrived at 10am.
It wasn't too onerous for one person as there are not too many cats, the space is small and protocols minimal.

There are only two boarders. I didn't get photos. One is still cross at being abandoned.

Shivers has the flu so I did him last. He had it when he arrived covered in something gunky which has mostly been hacked off.

Other cats have strange names too:


Zero, a calico.

Dotty, a tortie without spots. Maybe it is her personality

Dotty

Foxy, is anything but at 15 years old

Blink, who stares.

Hidden behind privacy towels are Milly, Tilly, Elsa, Diva and Little Gins who are the first family of a very young mum who has five (?) newborns.  Then, across the way, Samantha is also shrouded.
