Fund-raising help - A&E's teeth!

[snakemama]

WOWZA! I'm meeting with a potential adopter tonight, so I'll let you know what happens. She sounds like a sweetheart from our phone conversation, and I'm excited to meet her.

I *just* bought 48 cans of food (24 days, I'm giving them two a day plus a little kibble, and they're both slowly losing...they were down about half a poind when we last weighed them) for $64.73. I would normally have gotten cheaper cans, but I wanted the softest food possible while they're getting used to life with fewer teeth, so I got super soft Merrick grain free cans this time around. My Friskies rep also donated a case of Friskies senior cans, which they seem to like a lot.

With any luck, the lady I'm meeting tonight will be as sweet as she sounded on the phone and will love them. I'm headed out in a few minutes to get their FVRCP boosters and dewormer, and tomorrow is their final re-check with the vet to make sure their mouths are healing as planned.

Everyone's kindness has been totally overwhelming and I want to say thank you all again! I'm not too good with words, and everyone's warm wishes and generosity leaves me a little more speechless than usual.

The lady I'm meeting with this evening lives literally a few blocks away from me...I posted up a link to their petfinder page in my neighborhood on nextdoor.com, and I've gotten two very sweet replies from people there...I like the idea of using nextdoor because it's all people who live VERY close, and I like the idea of A&E being nearby.

That would be awfully fun! You will have to tell whoever adopts them that there are quite literally people all over the world who love those girls, and will be grateful to them!

So...that went really well!! Two ladies came by to visit, and sat with A&E for over an hour. Initially the store was still open and the girls were a little nervous to come out because of all of the customers and my noisy employees being hiper and loud. >.< Once the store cleared out, I turned off some of the lights and put on some music, and they both showed off their charms.

Annie came out right away, plopped onto a lap, and settled in like she'd always been there. Emma had to be picked up out of the condo and placed into a lap, but once she was there she sat stiffly for a few minutes....then decided she was ok, and made herself comfortable. She was even purring!

Tomorrow they have their final re-check for their teeth, and afterward I'll be bringing them to the house. They will be doing a slow introduction to their two current kitties (who have lived peacefully with other cats before!) and as long as that goes well, I think they're home!

We talked for a long time, about good cat foods and being conservative with vaccines, and kitties we've known over the years. It felt like a conversation with friends, and they live literally a few blocks from me!

How exciting, this would be so good!
