June’s Journal #8

Good day, dear sponsors and cat lovers…Welcome to Winter of 2018.

And what a Winter is has been!! With the holidays behind me (I was very busy keeping the staff on task in providing all of us in the Community Room our food, goodies, warmth and medical care), now I can look forward to attending the staff meetings and making sure all the kitty bellies at the sanctuary are full. But the weather has been just terrible these past few weeks. We have had nothing but ice, snow and cold, as in extreme freeze-your-face-off cold. I feel sad for the kitties who live outside but happy for all of us who are all warm and happy here at the sanctuary. So, if you or anyone you know takes care of a feral community or colony, I know you will keep them fed and warm.

I have not seen scribe for a few weeks. Angela told me she sent word that her store hours kept her away. Then she adopted a new dog and then she got that awful virus that has been going around. Angela assured me scribe is feeling better and will be visiting me soon as her store hours are cut quite a bit. I hope so, as I miss my backrubs and toe rubs and head scratches.

And big news! I am 3 years old now as I celebrated my birthday on January 1, 2018. Since many of us kitties come to Tabby’s Place without a clear birthday known, we all celebrate our birthdays on the same day each year: January 1. Yay for me and happy bday to me and all my other furry mates here at the sanctuary. I look forward to many more…

There isn’t much new with me as I have been enjoying such good health since I live here at Tabby’s Place. I am still giving the staff a run for their money when they come to do my toilettes several times a day. And I still like to propel around the community room whenever I get an attack of the crazies. All of us get those attacks every once in a while. We just have to go as fast as we can and run around in circles. I have even seen some kitties jump into the cat trees and climb a bit up the walls. I can’t do that, you know, as I am paralyzed. But I am just as happy pulling myself along as my front leg muscles are getting stronger all the time.

In the mornings when a volunteer come in to feed all of us in the community room, I am always first in line, anxious to get the yummy wet food being delivered. I scoot up to her and then taste the food she puts down. Breakfast time is one of my favorite times of the day!

Scribe is not the only one who visits me. I have many volunteers who come into the community room and stop and talk to me. But I would really like to get to know more people so I can be better socialized. When you come to visit Tabby’s Place, you can always stop by and give me some pets and backrubs and toe rubs and head scratches until scribe comes back.

The more people who play with me and who touch me and give me love, the easier it will be to get me adopted one day into a loving home with humans who will take care of a special needs kitty like me. Don’t get me wrong, I love being here at the sanctuary, but nothing beats a furever home of one’s own with one’s own humans and family.

So, if you like winter, enjoy each second of this. If you don’t, please stay well and warm until spring comes, which can’t be soon enough for many of us. Until then, I send you lots of purrs and kitty kisses.

Love,
June
