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!

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.
