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!
Monday AM – Bowls were full except for Magnolia’s so added food for her. Gave everyone a treat which was mostly eaten by Cyrus and Milo. Shiloh didn’t come out and didn’t care for Milo’s visit. A bit of a mess around one litter box and from Magnolia.
Sunday P.M
Shift was pretty calm today and all chores are done. Magnolia did very well taking her medicine. Shiloh did not want to come out of iso today.
Everyone was in a good mood! Shiloh was giving all the loves! Everyone got pets and treats! All chores done and no messes!
Saturday PM
One pee blanket. Magnolia took her medicine. She took a very big poop immediately after scooping her box. Shiloh was crying at iso door but when I opened it she was not interested. Left it open and she stayed in iso and was kinda okay with the others visiting. Start opening iso on shift and encourage her to come out, then put her up when your done.
Friday PM
Got all the chores done and gave Maggie her pill. Found 1 pee blanket and put it in the laundry. Added 3 cups of food and lysine and refreshed the water bowls. All cats seemed good, though magnolia was angrier than usual when I gave her her medicine. Shiloh was very friendly and loving today. She seemed curious about venturing out of ISO but then got upset when Cyrus kept trying to get in.
All chores done, including trash taken out! Business as usual this morning.. Cyrus running around like a wild man and Magnolia is still up on her perch looking like someone just stole her purse. Shiloh acted like she wanted to come out, but seems cautious around Cyrus. Stayed to play with everyone for a bit, all in good spirits upon leaving
All chores done. Magnolia got her med. Got some play time in with everyone. Magnolia want to join, so I played with her a while and left some toys up there. Shiloh acted like she wanted to come out, but then wouldn’t. I sat with her for a while too. All good!
Thursday Am. I found Milo in the locked blanket cabinet. Everything aelse was relatively easy. All food and water bowls were full. Magnolia didn’t have a food bowl so I put one back up there. Shiloh was very sweet. Scooped litter boxes and swept floor. Cyrus was wild and knocked over a food bowl and fell off a shelf while I was there.
We are desperately in need of people to help us return phone calls on a 1 week per month basis. It will be bout 1 hour a day, 1 week per month. We need at least 2 more people so the 2 currentlyl doing so won’t be so burnt out! If interested pls email me kelly.caaws@gmail.com or text/call 225-324-8903.
Maggie took her med and enjoyed her treat after. Gilly enjoyed his wet treat. All chores done. Shiloh was very sweet and wanted to come out of ISO until we started doing all the chores. Then she hid on top the ISO cages. Milo, Cyrus and Gilly played with the feather on a stick toy for a bit at the end of shift. Maggie even played with it from the top shelf a couple times.
Time in: 0845. Full mop and sweep done. Food added with lysine tablet, litter scooped, treats given to all. Magnoila had a large poopie right after I scooped her litter so cleaned again. She may not go for a while now. 😂😂
