5, 2018 - Opie's Diary of Daily Doings
at Rikki's Refuge
Dear
Diary, it's Monday ... lots of
paperwork ... but nothing unusual or specially citing .... ordinary days are good days !!! It's always a good day when nobody is sick
.... no disasters happen ... and things
all go smooth and nice !!!!
Good
Morning!!
Yup
.. that's ice in the water bowl .....
brrrrr
Not
impressed with that frost on the ground.
Moon
in the western sky.
You're
familiar with the multi-species sun deck by now !!!
Here
comes our Wishing Well !!!!!!
Coming our of storage and into the light of day !!!!!
Headed to the Life Center.
Where I hope volunteers will come and help me fix it up and paint it pretty. Will YOU help me? Volunteers@RikkisRefuge.org
Despite
the sunny day .... it was chilly ...
and a good day for an afternoon nap curled in some cuddly straw.
This
is Mommey Kitty
We
don't know where she came from. She
just appeared last summer with three newborn kittens. She was skinny, anemic from all the fleas, sick. She was scared but too weak to out run my
hoomans when they saw her. Her babies
were only days old, flea bitten, full of worms, sick and skinny. Oh... so so sad ... they were all so so
skinny. You could see the bones of the
little babies. And poor sick Mommey was
trying as hard as she could to nurse them.
She was so sick and starved herself she had almost no milk for
them.
My hoomans went to work as hard as they could to save everybody. Sadly the poor babies just weren't strong enough to survive and one by one we had to bury them at our Rainbow Bridge Cemetery. It was so sad. And Mama Kitty cried.
We thought she was going to give up and that she'd die too. But the hoomans took such good care of her and begged her to keep trying and promised she'd be happy again some day. And slowly she got stronger, and she started to get well, and finally she was walking around and starting to get interested in life again. It took her many months but now she's well and even a little bit fat. But not fat like ME !!!

She
lives at the Life Center and she's still a little shy, but she loves to play
with the other kitties and loves to be petted by the hoomans she's come to
trust. She gets more and more trusting
every day. She's not much more than a
year old, and she's really like a kind and sweet and quiet and gentle forever
home. Can she get dopted by YOU?
Love,
Opie
