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!

Cleaned litter and floors. All cats got treats, canned food, and lysine. The two new arrivals are very friendly. Kiwi escaped for a second and looked at the other cats but she wasn’t hard to catch. No problems.
Swept and mopped. Food bowls were empty so added lysine and filled. Wet food and treats after chores. Kiwi darted out and Nelson tried to block the entrance to ISO so I ran him out. Kiwi went back easily.
No messes. Tesoro is at the vet made a little space were Kiw could look out.
The slider for the food cabinet lock is missing. Was open when I arrived.
Everyone was sweet and perfect as usual! Kiwi was very affectionate. Crunchy treats for everyone
Tues AM quiet morning. Chores done litter boxes not bad except in ISO. One pee blanket. Kiwi is quick – she made a run for it but then froze when she saw Cheste. She let me pick her up & put her back in ISO. Gave 3 cups of food with Lysine. Chester was helpful as usual! Gave pets & treats to all who wanted them.
Tesoro to vet. He’s going to stay overnight and get neutered tomorrow.
Monday PM – added 3.5 cups of food with lysine. No pee blankets but a big pee spot near the cabinets. Litter was heavy especially in ISO. New kitties are really sweet. Everyone got treats and lots of pets except Gabbi. I played with her for a bit since she doesn’t like pets. Kiwi got out when I first tried to go into ISO. She hissed at Chester for getting too close. I was able to pick her up no problem and put her back.
Sunday pm
Short shift today. Ringo was sneezing and a little congested. There was a small infestation of sugar ants that I drowned in mop water. We’re running out of churus. Chores done and no pee blankets today! Added 2 scoops and lysine. Took out the trash. No treats today cause I’ve got to run.
New cats!
Tesoro (te·ṣò·ro) – DMH black, boy. Very sweet, loves pets.
Brown tabby girl, still working on a name for her! She’s a bit dramatic – screamed when she saw the cats outside of iso. Put up a blanket curtain on the door. Hoping she calms down.
They CANNOT come out of iso or meet any other cats yet.
Brown tabby girl is named Kiwi

No messes today, the litter was very clean too except for in ISO, I guess everyone’s using it in there.
Lots of pee spots on the floor this morning..other than that the room was relatively clean! Pasha was out and about exploring when I got here which was nice to see. All chores done and food added to all the bowls. The battery in our laser pointer is dying, Ringo was very sad to hear this news. Nothing major to report today! Chester was well behaved, not aggravating everyone. I noticed that Gabbi and Gilly like to hang out together and it is so sweet!! Lots of treats and pets given before I left. Happy Friday everyone 🙂
