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!

Tina did well. He wanted out of ISO so bad. But he was good about staying in. The other kitties did well. Gilly got his luvs. Ringo chilled all shift. And Melly pretty much slept. She seemed really tired but perked right up for her wet food and gobbled it up. Gilly got a Churo since he didn’t like the wet food. We are low on Churos. But treats have been restocked. Thanks Chris!

Few pee blankets as well.

I swept and mopped the floor twice to help with the smell. Pee spots on floor, counter. Food bowls were low and lysine a little gross so I tossed it all and made fresh bowls with lysine.
Everyone had churu treats and Friskies shreds split between them. Tokyo is so sweet. I gave him lots of attention.

The room was pretty clean when I came in, so I did a little sweeping, mopped, and added 2 scoops of food and lysine in the bowls. The cats were pretty chill today. I gave them pets, treats, enjoyed playtime, and brushed each cat except Gilligan. He wasn’t feeling it today but was delighted to get some wet food.

The room was clean this morning with the exception of one small vomit on one of the shelves. Only had to add a small amount of dry food to the bowls, not much had been eaten.

Hopefully the next shift will be extra clean; I got to the kitties kinda late today, but other than THE BIGGEST HAIRBALL I’VE EVER SEEN, the room was in good shape. All the kitties came out to say hi and share some wet food. I did notice one poop with a very bright red streak in it, but no kitties seem affected.
While I was here a lady can’t by and dropped off some bags of donation towels/blankets that are in the doorway AND I saw a hummingbird in the flowers outside!
Cleaned floors and litter. Cats had some wet treats. Ringo has seemed a lot happier the past few, weeks. No problems.
