This past week I’ve been cleaning and organizing the house , I can’t believe how out of control everything has gotten and today I finally started deep cleaning the Kattery, I got the biggest room done, and pulled the air conditioners, scrubbed them down and put away.
It Only took me 6 hours.
At first I thought, well this isn’t that bad.
Until I climbed the ladder to wash the shelves. 🤮 the amount of hairballs and cat hair was crazy.
I have a feeling It’s time to remove all the shelves. 💔Feral cats can be very naughty sometimes!
We haven’t painted in 3 1/2 years and it’s definitely time to do some renovations. I may try to paint one room at a time through the winter.
My goal is to get the remaining two rooms deep cleaned Monday and Tuesday while we still have warm temps outside and get as much litter as I can moved out to the cattery ,so I don’t have to lug it in the snow… and try to get other supplies out there to stock the cupboards. I was surprised to see that our
cupboards are totally empty!
When Gary runs out , he doesn’t restock anything or bother to tell me. I’ll be loading them up with
extra blankets, potty pads, cleaning supplies and what little food we have.
My goal this week is to put Berry Blue and Orbit out in the cattery along with trapping the 3 ferals that hang out in our front yard. Sunday , Big Poppa and Charlie. I’ve decided not to leave them outside through the winter… I hate when the temp gets frigid , I constantly worry about them freezing to death… or getting frost bite. In the past we’ve opened our garage door and used heated blankets for them but Gary is saying no to that this year.
I won’t be feeding any outside cats this winter since they will be safe and warm inside. I have told all 3 of them and I swear they know what I’m saying because they have been hanging around the cattery porch waiting to come in.
Everyone gets flea treatment / deworming and capstar before entering.
Momma Cinnamon is doing great and has a recheck on Wednesday. I’m praying they have good news. The vet said it’s going to be a difficult infection to get control of but I personally think she’s looking really good.
The wound on her cheek has scabbed over and her eye has stopped draining all together. She is such a trooper taking her meds, she doesn’t fight me at all!
She is a very sweet kitty, it breaks my heart that she was once someone’s cat that was left to defend for herself. The vet said she has a broken jaw and was surprised she can eat enough to nurse her kittens. If the neighbor wouldn’t have started feeding her she wouldn’t have survived on hunting mice alone with a severely damaged jaw. Cinnamon knew exactly which house to ask for help from!❤️
I’m so grateful Sherry is a compassionate person who loves kitties.❤️❤️❤️
We will be giving the Laporte kittens their second vaccinations this week, they are now 8 weeks old. Our Foster April has done a wonderful job caring for them. They have been named after the Toy Story theme. She even did their first photo shoot.
Enjoy the pictures.❤️❤️❤️
This is one of those weeks that I can’t wait to be over because we have so much going on.
