Thanks guys! See I have been busy while my computer was down.

I still cry when I think back to what it used to be like for the kitties. I have been able to witness some of the most incredible personality changes. Cats that were never even considered adoptable are now lap babies! There are still some that are feral or semi feral but they are happy as can be now that they can intermingle and play with the other kitties. It really has been an amazing thing to watch and be a part of.

Jen, unfortunately our adoption rate isn't great. Most of our adoptions are done through PetSmart. We have tried and tried to get people to the shelter but we don't get many. We do really good with dog adoptions at the shelter but there are just so many cats in this rural area that nobody wants anymore. They almost think it's funny to have to "pay" for a cat.
Our "highly adoptables" go to PetSmart but the ones that stay at the shelter are the ones that stress too much in the store environment. They are very lovable and adoptable but they need to be adopted from the shelter and go straight to a home environment.

We have had 4.5 acres of beautiful land donated to us by a Railroad Co. but there simply is no money coming in to start a new building. I think if we can get a shiny new building with a few bells and whistles people will come. Right now our paychecks bounce and the pharmacy won't give us any more meds. We are on the brink of closing the doors daily but God always seems to provide enough to keep it barely going. I have faith that this will somehow work out. Our director has 4 mortgages on her house just to keep the shelter running.
For every 1 adoption 2 or 3 more come through the door and kitten season is upon us. We are packed to the gills now and there are still about 200 more cats in foster care! Faith and prayers are about all we survive on. Its a sad situation but I guess its like that everywhere.
