Litter Box Cleanings
The litter boxes should be dumped and totally and fully cleaned the first seven days of the month, alternating AM shifts and PM shifts per month. April was done by the PM shifts, May will be the AM shifts, and June will be the PM shifts again. Be sure to dump and clean them and sign the signature sheet on the med door after completing. This is very important!
Tuesday PM
Another big throw up spot on the floor by the middle cat trees. Topped off food, cleaned litter boxes, and changed waters. Gave out a few new toys as well. Everyone was good in a good mood, except for Ringo (he was a lil grumpy). Filled out the new iso sheet for gabby. She even came out and let me pet her for a sec. Overall, good shift.
Tuesday AM- good shift, all of Gabbi’s info about the shift is on the new sheet in ISO and she enjoyed some pets. Chester was on one today and was very wild and attacking some kitties. Everyone else was normal. 4 big puke spots found on blankets that were thrown out. Found some pee spots too and started a load of laundry with those blankets if next shift could put those in the dryer! Food bowls were all empty when I arrived, so did four cups with lysine for the room. Swept floor, scooped litter, changed out many blankets, took… Read more »
New form!
I’ve made a new form for tracking iso cats health. It’s posted on the board in iso along with an example.
🌟 Every shift Must fill one out.
Don’t throw these away. Keep them on the iso board, just put the filled behind the fresh. Please give me feedback on formatting or anything that can be added.
Monday – PM – 3 big dry food vomits on the floor. One vomit on a blanket. Added 1 cup of dry food. Litter was light. Gabbi liked her pets but wouldn’t eat any treats. She had less than a teaspoon of food in her bowl so I fed 1/4 of a cup of the dry food from her bag. I left 5 treats on the floor near her in ISO. All kitties were calm and received pets and treats. apricot had the zoomies and was attacking the toys.
Monday 4:30pm
Watermelon to vet for overnight visit. Trying to figure out her weight loss.
Monday AM – Food and water were fine. Poop in the sink again and a pee and vomit on the floor. Gabbi had pee and a little poop in her litter box. She ate a little churu and added one scoop of food for her.
Sunday PM. Came in and the dumpster key was missing used dog rooms instead and returned it to the person working there this shift. Did chores. gabbi had a very small amount of pee in her litter box no feces. Ate all her wet food and most of her dry food, added 1 scoop of dry for her. Ringo was pretty grumpy kept hissing at Tokyo and peaches.
Sunday am. Poop in sink. Gabbi ate her wet food. No fights or scuffles. Added one cup of dry. Gave Gabbi her own food. Did chores. Laundry in dryer. All had wet food and treats
Saturday PM
No messes in room. Food bowls still full. Lots of energy this evening and shared annoyance. Gabbi had not eaten any of her food and had nothing in her litter box. She was stretched out in the cubby and happy to have pets.
Also the litter scoop with the green handle is missing?

Friday PM Lots of tension in the room today with ringo growling at everyone. He especially seems to have bad vibes with Tokyo. Peaches was a LOT more outgoing and energetic today, she was running all over the room. She also now enjoys drinking straight from the sink. There was something that looked like dried pee on the counter top, I cleaned it up with bleach. There was also dried vomit on one of the cats trees and the floor next to it. I mopped it up off the floor but wasn’t sure what to do about to cat tree.… Read more »

Thursday AM
All good in the kitty room. Not much food eaten overnight by room kitties or Gabbi so just freshened up a bit. Scooped boxes and swept the floor. Gabbi had two pees but no poop. Lots of snuggles and hanging out time.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Cleaned litter and floors. Replaced water. Added lysine to food. Everyone got wet food and treats and those who were willing played with some toys. Gabbi is still very nervous. No problems.
Friday 4:30pm
Brought some new food for Gabbi, its in a zip lock bag in the cabinet. She ate a few bites as soon as I gave it to her so hoping she’ll keep liking it and eat better.
She did not touch the creamy sauce with chicken
Gabbi had some poop in her box but it looks like she didn’t eat much. I offered the little slurpy stuff with the shredded chicken and also some crunchy treats which she didn’t touch while I was there. Kitties were well behaved. Swept and mopped floor. Wet food breakfast, crunchy treats and food with added lysine given.
Tuesday AM- good shift. Gabbi is so pretty and sweet. She had two licks of a churu. I built her a fort so she could hide and she immediately went in it, so I put her food bowls in there with her so she could eat in private. All other cats were well behaved and got treats and pets. Scooped all litter, changed out some food bowls for clean ones, refilled water, swept floor, and replaced the Feliway plug in. Two throw up blankets too. Built a fort in main room too so kitties could have a hiding spot.
Forgot to report- Gabbi did have litter to scoop! No food that was in her bowls was eaten.
Did three scoops of food with lysine for the room.
Monday pm – 2.5 cups food added. A couple of pee spots around the room. No pee or throw up spots on blankets. There was one bloody spot on the floor. Gabbi was timid, but she did get lots of pets. I didn’t see her eat anything, and her litter box was empty. All the other kitties were pretty normal, a little hissing at each other when they got in each others’, spaces, etc.. they all enjoyed the crunchy treats.
Monday AM – Food and water were fine. One vomit blanket and pee on the counter and in the sink. Sat with Gabbi for a while. She let me stroke her chin and cheek and ate a little churu off my finger and a little out of a bowl. She did have pee in her litter box.
Everyone was pretty chill tonight. Cleaned up a small vomit spot and a pee spot. Added 4 cups of dry food and everyone got treats!
Gabbi hasn’t touched her wet or dry food and wouldn’t take any treats from me. Didn’t use her litter box either. Was very reluctant for me to pet her 🙁

Gilly was sneezing most of the shift. He has yellow snot in his nose and some fell on his whiskers.
The office has one volunteer sign in sheet left, copies need to be made.
The bad kitties all seemed good. One little vomit on a blanket, lots of demands. There was a big dried pee in the metal crate in ISO; cleaned it up and closed the crate door, maybe that’ll help. Food levels looked barely touched, replaced a water, gave treats.
Good shift. Kitties all seemed to be in good moods. Gilly most of his fancy feast. The others, minus Peaches and Ringo finished it off. He was also very snotty sounding. Chester was playful.

one soft bloody poop in the litter box by the sink. Gilligan ate almost the whole can of fancy feast. Fed Watermelon a can of the Purina Beyond cat food since she’s getting pretty skinny. Let her eat in ISO so she could eat in peace. She enjoyed it. Everyone shared a Churo. Peace’s didn’t want any. She was in a pissy mood tonight. But she did eat good when I put the food on the cat tree with her. Ringo was still grumpy when any got too close but other wise he chilled on the ground under the big… Read more »
