A Long Overdue Update

About a month ago the shelter was filled to the brim with cats. Every possible cage and room seemed to be filled - so much that cages would sometimes be passed up by those cleaning the space when they wouldn't realize a normally empty cage was filled for once.

So many wonderful cats were in. There was Yukon, who wagged his floppy tail like a dog and expressed his curiosity by rubbing against volunteers legs as they cleaned.

Oh and Kelly- the messiest cat I've seen yet. When trying to clean his cage he'd want all of the attention- so much that anyone cleaning would have to enlist someone to hold him, or put him in the bathroom with toys.
What cleaning Kelly's cage was always like.
Houdini- so named because at animal control where he was before he would always manage to escape from his cage. At Feline Rescue he was a big-eyed, lovable scaredy-cat.

Friendly Jax was sweet to all of the other cats (even if they weren't always sweet back) and would lie thoughtfully staring out the window.

There was one cutie-pie, Granada, who was only there one Monday. I was mopping when I heard her meowing desperately. I looked over and saw that while using her litter box she had very cleanly missed. Upset, she tried hiding it with a blanket, and kicking litter over it, but in the end gave up and asked for help. The moment I finished cleaning up her mess she settled quietly on her new bed in her clean space.

Sweethearts Heather, Gumbo, Milton, and all of those mentioned above were in, out, and on their way in no time, and soon the shelter was back to an average amount of cats.

I was in today to take some videos for potential social media use- so keep an eye out for those!
