Help you to get a fourth? Of course.
EnderLord361 t1_j2fc7mn wrote
Get 3 more, gotta have a round number and 4 is just too little.

His name is Jeremy. As for the chair it was gifted to us. We have a budget of 0$ for furniture.
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2fcs3v wrote
We do have almost 60 cats at the shelter but only 5 or 6 are in the reception area. Heidi,the white one, is our mascot. Aneth (Dill) is the black one and Jeremy is the ginger. We also have Evelyne and Oompa. And old man Daniel (15) often takes a nap here.

You should see our big adoption room. Maybe 15 cats all free to go anywhere they want. It’s kind of crazy sometimes :)
EnderLord361 t1_j2fd3ii wrote
I’m afraid if I went then I’d take them all. I already have my hands full with a deaf old man cat and a little beast kitten.

Okay, so Jeremy should become director of procurement if the budget is expanded next year.
As for the chair, Jeremy was not wrong, my experience confirms that, after years spent on the kitchen chair, I feel much better now.
What duties do the other two have?

This gives me strong "hello, we've been expecting you" energy!
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2ffhvz wrote
Jeremy is going to be adopted really soon. So the budget is gonna stay the same. Aneth is leaving us this week for her forever home. So I will be left with Heidi who has been our Supervisor for years now. That’s why she has the best place to get lots of love and watch us at the same time.

I’d take all of them if I didn’t live in a little bungalow

“Cleaning our poop took some time… where have you been?”
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2ffsp7 wrote
Let me tell you, that’s a lot of poop. It takes us 3 hours every morning to clean it all.

I’m in the UK, on a very quiet road so my cats can come and go (as it were) on their own.
chuckspadinaa t1_j2fg5hs wrote
I'm glad to hear that.
Thank you for what you do for those wonderful beings who are in dire need of help.
Who wouldn't want such a supervisor.
Happy New Year!

Recently got a kitten, instantly became a cat guy. I love cats so freaking much

They are the help

I’m downtown Québec city Canada. People who adopt here have to promesse to keep the cat inside. We specialize in feral cats and we are kind of tired to have to treat injured cats. Last winter we had one with frostbites so severe he needed an operation to close the wounds.

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

Well, be proud: word of your great work is spreading around and more and more cats want to witness it. Happy New Year, keep up the good work! You'll know your're successful when your deak will be covered with snoozing cats.

Poor thing. It’s pretty much paradise for cats here.

Yeah, they're crazy but adorable. They have so much energy for how small the are
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2fijg9 wrote
We often have news from our cats and they are all spoiled rotten. There's one who has his own couch, some have their own room! We had a couple of people build (or buy) a big catio so they can go outside safely. The big ginger one, Jeremy, was a semi feral outdoor cat and it took some time to catch him. Now he loves inside living. He never even try to go outside. It's like he retired from street living. (His 2 brothers did the same)

You have to be really careful not to let them touch water or they multiply.
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2fjn4l wrote
We had one a month ago from another shelter. They said he was "too agressive" and that he bite someone. Lol! He wasn't even 2 pounds ! He's a wild one, who wanted immediately to play with the big cats; he wasn't scared at all. He's getting adopted soon, I hope they don't have any precious breakable things in their home :)

Thank you! We think we will be successfully when all the cats are gonna have forever homes. (In our 26 years doing this it never happened). We are just trying to make the transition the best (and the shortest) that we can for them.

I think it’s too late for us.
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2fnfbj wrote
Unless you want to sit on the chair. :)
sonia72quebec OP t1_j2fnpt0 wrote
Nope it’s the white one! Heidi is our mascot and she always sleeps there. If another cat tries to take her place she’s gonna tell him/her to leave. Jeremy learned that really fast.

You are doing good work! Thank you for helping all the kitties!
We had one former stray that also got that "Been there. Done that."-attitude to going outside after a while. She could look out an open door, maybe sit down right outside the door but then look at you with a "Been there. Done that. Let's go inside now."-look.

Looks like my vet's office, they have 5 permanent residents. Or the people upstairs in my office building where they are socializing kittens/cats for adoption. I love going up there to "help," lol. I have 3, but some kitty time at work is good for the soul.

He is so cute. Give him lovin from me!
We rescued two sister from a hoarding situation 10 years ago. Unfortunately one of our sisters had mammary cancer and had to be put to sleep a little over a year ago (heartbreaking)…the other (Chloe) is going strong and testing us every day.

I can safely say that the orange one has an excellent selection of chairs in the middle price range.
