Fastest Draw in the West!

Cody/Calvin

Well, shaking out a throw rug this morning I bent my pinky nail back and it broke on the nail bed.  Gross.  Blood.  I can't type right now, so making this quick.  TGIF.  It was a very easy morning for me this morning, I made it in nearly record time.  I left the house at 5, and got home at 6.  Very nice.  Very quick, very easy!  Dexter on Stout has now been on Chamberlain two mornings in a row now.  Doesn't look like much was eaten under the porch on Stout.  Chased away a raccoon there two mornings ago.  I think they sometimes get so spooked, the know not to come back.  Others, they saunter over during the daylight hours and have their feast.

The picture above is of Calvin, now named Cody, in his new home.  What a fat and happy cat that is.  If you will recall, I fed him most of the winter under a bench on Baldwin, and after rescuing his brother Fraser there, found Calvin on Hayward, with a badly infected tail tip, and rescued him soon thereafter.  He had partial tail amputation, was loved and whipped back into shape by me, and we found his forever home with a wonderful family of four - two little children included.  He is loved and spoiled rotten, and neither I, nor he, couldn't be happier!  (was that very bad grammar?  or was it good grammar?  can anyone correct me on that?) ha.

Candy went in for her testing, flea meds, shots and deworming - she is negative on all counts.  I am thrilled with this because she is a very very very sweet cat.  All that to the tune of $184.  What in the world was I thinking?  Why would I go to that vet?  County Line. They are very good when you go through Petsnipper through Habitat for Cats, but Candy had already been spayed.   I also thought Candy would be fostered by a friend who lives out that way, but I changed my mind because of Celia being adopted and I had more room in my house, but even so, what was I thinking?   I must clarify what I can and can't do at this low income clinic.  I know I can have feral cats brought in and spayed/neutered, with shots, for $50, but not sure about wellness visits.  I don't think I can.  So, I am going to be charged up the ying yang for kitties I am trying to adopt out.  And I don't charge more than a minimum of $40 when I adopt out, which is why donations are so important to me, but so rare. 

Please spread the word about my plight.  Ten dollars a day would buy the cats one days worth of food - an 18 pound bag of dry food.  Tomorrow, on Saturday, I will be spending $70+ on dry food alone to feed for the next week because I am all out.  That's what it costs.  That's for dry food - alone.  Please spread the word.

Have a great day!!!
