Monday's News

What a slow day! Not very much to report at all! Anita stopped by this morning and cleaned the office and education room cages for me, which was a huge help. We had a lot of kitties on meds which always gets me off schedule. Several cats finished their meds, so let's hope they stay healthy! It's very important that people be constantly monitored in the condo to stop the spread of disease.

The best news of today is that our little Twiggy was adopted! Her new family was just BEAMING when they came to get her. She will be spending her days with 2 schnauzers and a seeing eye dog.

The condo looks and feels very empty due to the number of recent adoptions. I certainly miss Billie. It always made me laugh how she would run into animal control's office and meow as loud as she could--I think she just liked the acoustics in there!

Nicole came in to walk dogs. She also got to help me give Pepto to Dixie; I hope the Pepto will come out of my shirt!

Susan covered the office today. She made a ton of calls on adoption applications, but still found time to do some laundry and hand out cookies!

Kiara has been set free in the condo. She was darting all over the condo when Rebecca and I left.

We received 4 DARLING little kittens yesterday. I helped Rebecca vaccinate them--I just didn't think I could do it! We also realized that Prince and Princess Doolittle (condo kittens) needed to be vaccinated, so I vaccinated them--that way Rebecca wouldn't be overly traumatized! We noticed that one of the kittens has an overbite as pronounced as Sweet Pea's underbite! I wonder if it will grow out as he gets older?

Bobby picked up 2 puppies RAL--very cute! One of them looks like the brown version of Freckles--he looks like a fluffy little shepherd on bassett hound legs! The other puppy might be related to him, as they were found RAL in the same area, but he couldn't look more different! Smooth coated, long legged, and very sweet.

This week is World Week for Animals in Laboratories, and Tuesday is World Day for Animals in Laboratories. Events are held yearly to educate the public about the scientific, moral, and economic objections to animal experimentation. I (and others including Martina Navratilova and Mark Twain) am vehemently opposed to vivisection, which is inherently cruel and of little to no scientific value, and I use only products that are not tested on animals. There are a ton of cruelty-free products you can buy at the whole foods store or local corporate retailer, including brands such as Revlon, Freeman, Method Cleaning Products, Almay, Tom's of Maine, and Dr. Bronner's. If you regularly donate to charities (other than PCHS!), you can find out here whether your charity experiments on animals. Think vivisection only affects rats and mice? Think again! Primates of all types, cats & kittens, dogs & puppies, ferrets, pigs and rabbits are among the millions of animals tortured in unnecessary experiments every year. Learn more here.
