Just wanting to let you know Lucky was adopted today! A very nice young couple who have adopted from us before. In fact the boy and his then Boy Scout troop built the catios we have outside the rooms. Those are little screened in porches that are outside the windows so the kitties can go outside when it’s nice. They love it!

Have a great life Lucky!! We will miss you!

March 12 update: Selina has come a long way in the two months she’s be with us. She’s not the scared, shy little girl so much anymore. She loves to be petted and is so very sweet!
