Today's
afternoon project was working on putting up the new metal roofs for cat houses.
This
is important cus our old plastic mesh was suffering from UV deterioration and
would tear easily. Then it became
urgent when so much land around us was clear cut and all the wildlife had no
place to go, so they moved in with us.
Even though we have 350 acres preserved just for wildlife, a sudden
influx from hundreds of clear cut acres drove the animals to us to look for
food.
One night gang slit open the roof of an aviary hoping for a buffet of poor little birds. Obie and Wanda barked for hooman back up and in no time the wildlife was chased out .... and we knew we had to put up safer roofing.

Next
some went into cat runs to eat cat food at night. So now those roofs are all being replaced with metal too. We don't want the wildlife to be hungry
..... but they can't eat our animals
and they can't go tearing up roofs to get in either !!!
First thing in the morning everybody splits up the chores and gets everybody fed and cleaned and medicated ... then they stock up the stations for the next day ... then, if it's a quiet nice day and nothing crazy is happening, they work on a project.

Today
was putting up more metal roofing. It
goes fast with lots of folks can help.
Did
you know our cat outdoor play areas are 2,000 square feet for each Cat
House? 100' long so the kitties can
really run and play !!!! With trees
and everything !!
Love, Opie
Love, Opie
Thank
YOU for making it all possible !
