Dear friends,

It’s the month of love, and do you know what that means? That’s right, the love fest continues. I share these pictures of me cuddling with my friends because I know it would be hard to believe if you didn’t see it with your own eyes.

Do you see five cats in the cat pileup photo? Look closely… I’ll give you a hint: little black Chachi is wedged between Newman and Mona).

Poor Chachi has a nasty respiratory infection that’s been going around. His breathing is so loud, he sounds like an obscene caller. Best to keep my distance for a while.

I’m thrilled to report that Giselle was adopted recently. She is now happy with her human family, and we (cats) are happy that she is gone. She did not exactly embrace our loving community vibe. I’ve got scratches on my nose to prove it.

And because Valentine’s Day is upon us, I think I have a crush. A beautiful, long-haired calico, Rogue, just joined the FIV+ suite. I’m going to cut out some paper hearts and think of witty sayings to put on them. Maybe I’ll consult with Charlie, our resident smooth talker.

I hope your February is filled with lots of hugs, laughter and love.

Your pal,

Lester
