3 days and a Party

Spent most of Wednesday cleaning and rearranging the kitten room. Again. Wanted to fit in one more cage so that we can combine two and make the stooges more comfortable. They returned from Kyoto in a mood to play and run around their cage, so they need more space to do that. Curly goes to his new home tomorrow, and I think he’ll be pleased to have lots more space! Wednesday evening, we met with a woman who offered to come out once a week to pitch in at the shelter. With all of the kittens, we’re feeling overwhelmed these days, so the help will be very welcome. Aya san is already caring for rescued cats and kittens in her own home, and her group has rehomed over 100 kittens since last October. We know there are small groups as well as individuals out there doing their best on their own. We’d like to find a way to bring people together so that we can all be stronger and more effective. I had 5 classes on Thursday, rushing back to check and feed kittens on my lunch break. Everyone was hungry and not shy about saying so! Davy got two cans, since I put the food I had prepared for the 3 Stooges in his cage by mistake, and it turns out he’ll eat any amount he gets! He’s really looking good these days. We’re thinking of moving him back in with Peter, his brother, who seems a bit lonely. Met with Takako tonight after classes to print pictures for our display at our fund raising event tomorrow. She and Gary have put a lot of time into planning the event, the proceeds of which will go to help with rescue and holding costs for kittens from the park. There will be an afternoon tea and cake event and an evening party with music and food. Hope we have a good turnout, all goes well, and that I don’t nod off in the middle of it all!
