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!

Pee on the counter and on the floor. 2 water buckets cleaned and refreshed. Some hissing between kitties. Chester mostly hissing at others or annoying others who hissed at him. All kitties got some wet food. Except Aperol who got a churru. Marie loves being out of iso! Very playful, tho some kitties didn’t appreciate her energy.
Monday AM- good shift everyone is happy. Swept floor, did 4 cups of food with lysine, scooped litter, split a couple of Churus between everyone and Aperol even decided to have one.

Marie wanted lots of attention and to be held and of course I obliged! She was soooo sweet. Chester and the others were definitely annoyed with her but she didn’t seem to notice.😂 All kitties… Read more »

Marie is a playful angel! Did a sweep. Floor is really clean. Changed a couple of waters. All had wet food and treats.
Tuesday pm
No pee spots or pee blankets. Marie is such a playful girl. Some of the other cats might not like her too much though. I noticed a lot of tension between her and Kiwi, Chester, Duchess, pasha, and aperol. Everyone got Churu which Marie was a big fan of. Overall a good night besides all the tension.
Tuesday AM – chores done, trash taken out. 5 bowls of food with Lysine. Marie is a sweetheart! She did well in the big room, although she wanted to get up close & personal with everyone. That was not well received. She is full of energy & love! No pee spots or blankets. Treats & pets given. And Marie loves belly rubs!!

Aperol and Marie didn’t want the wet food or temptation treats but each loved the churu. I let Marie out and she did really good. She would come out for a few minutes then run back to ISO, then come out after a… Read more »
Monday AM- everyone is in a mood I’m assuming because of Marie, who actually did amazing in the big room. She was immediately ready to come out when I got there and she is such a magnet. She loves to be held and to play and be pet. Everyone hissed at her though which she didn’t mind at first and then she started hissing at nothing even if she was happy. She did eat a churu and temptations. Duchess seems to be doing well in the big room. Gave everyone treats, topped off food with only one cup of dry… Read more »
Sunday AM
Swept, mopped, scooped litter, added 2 cups of food and lysine, handed out temptations to everyone. Marie didn’t eat any of the temptations. Every time I opened iso door to sweep, mop, or fill the food, Marie came running out. She is very curious and veryyyy affectionate. She wants constant attention. She’s great. Chester kept hissing every time she escaped but he kept his paws to himself.
Saturday PM
chores done, no messes and litter was pretty light. gave everybody treats, duchess and Marie both got pets. Gilligan was drinking a lot of water, went back to bowls about 3 times and spent a good bit drinking every time. other than tho though he seemed okay.
Saturday 2:30pm
New cat in iso. Marie, a DLH Torbie – mostly brown tabby but she’s got some orange spots. She’s 6.5 months old and been in foster. She’s actually Duchess’ daughter, though they don’t like each other. She’s very sweet and loves pets and to be brushed. She needs some time to adjust before coming out on shift.
Saturday am (cont’d)

Good shift. Kitties did well. The key snapped off in the lock to the litter cabinet so we put a latch on the doors. Kitties all did well. Gilly sneezed some snot out. Normal litter pans but they were very low so Chris added more litter to the ones who needed it. Dutchess stayed in her hidey hut the whole shift. Gilly enjoyed a Sheba and the others shared a churro. Didn’t have to add any food but added lyscine.

Chester kept terrorizing the cats but other than that everyone was very good.
Saturday PM The office door was cracked open when I arrived and Gilligan was inside. He peed on the trash can 🙃, didn’t find any other spots 🤞. Pulled Duchess out of her hut and popped her on the top of the tower under Love. We had a good head rub session and then she explored the shelfs and wondered around the room for the rest of the shift.
