Oh such fun in the shelter on Sunday and today! There were THREE new kitties... Dorito, Cambria and Weasley. Weasley is Cambria's kitten; he wasn't going to go into catio because he's small, but that decision was rethought and he was placed into catio, which I think helped Cambria (mommy) quite a bit. He was adopted out today! Also, Dorito already has been adopted out between me meeting her on Sunday and arriving this morning. I knew Weasly wouldn't last long in the shelter... a very nice lady fell in love with him and today was his day! Cambria (his mom) will be ok I think. Weasley was more attached to Cambria than Cambria was to him... I think she was trying to push him out of the nest. They love each other, but she did not get adopted today. I asked about Della, the duck, as I haven't seen her the last few times I've volunteered. She's doing great and with her foster as well. Looks like Braveheart will be adopted by the time I get back up there for my next volunteer day, I heard a family was chosen from the applications submitted. Today I transported a cat someone had trapped (the kitty was dumped at her house, an all-too-often repeated story) and he was neutered, no more freaks from him, lol. It was a rainy day at the shelter today, but thankfully no huge deluges causing an uproar in catio. I took a ton of photos of Weasley today, I became attached to him so fast, but I feel so much better having met the person who adopted him. It was fun to have a kitten in catio for a few days, the energy was really different. It's always the best day ever when an animal gets adopted. Whopper had a hard time with Dorito. Dorito was very scared, and took over Whopper's tower. Then Mr. Grey took over Whopper's corner (her second choice spot of refuge) and as you will see from photos she was not amused. Mr. Grey wants friends, and he's working hard to find his tribe, Whopper is definitely not it haha. I think that wraps up my shelter shenanigans til next time. Remember... adopt, don't shop!
