I apologize for our absence the past couple of days - we finally got our phones and internet back up this afternoon. It was a giant pine tree that fell on the lines down the road from us. Anyway, I’m sorry about that so enjoy Harold’s cool patchy bomber jacket he made until we start the work day tomorrow :)
Window and door graphics are going up for Cats at Play Cafe Asheville! Looks good ladies! 🐱

REGGIE!
Sorry for lack of POSTS this week! Reggie has had a blocked bladder and been at the vets for the last couple of days with a catheter and it's kept me busy visiting him and worrying!
Long story short, he's home and very glad to be, but to say I'm exhausted would be putting it mildly. Marc isn't back from Japan until Monday.
They've flushed him out and hopefully with a change in diet he'll be better going forward. I've taken today off work so I could bring him home and keep an eye on him. We have to go back at 4.30. It's very hard to tell if he's peeing or not. He's mostly just purring and sleeping as it's been very stressful for him.
Here he is rolling around with enormous pupils, he's on pain meds and antibiotics poor lad! X
Have to figure out how to feed him his new food and not Paisley who of course thinks he's getting special treatment and has hissed at him because he smells like the vets!
We’ve learned a lot about what separates great places to visit from the best places to live.

I have been dying to share this mews with everyone.
It's official!!
Trust is a Black Rock City Honoraria recipient!!!
Trust is a ring of FIVE kitties with their booties in the air. Each of their buttholes is decorated in different styles. Within the ring, people will find trust exercises. The idea is to interact and build relationships with friends and strangers in a safe environment through humor. Purr...
One of the cat sculptures will be purple (lighting, color, etc.) and I am dedicating it specifically to my beloved friend, Heather Winfrey. She loved purple, had purple hair, probably rescued hundreds of cats, and loved her friends, family and husband with all her heart. I miss her so much.

Our shelter is closed this week so I can take a short but long overdue vacation. I hope to return Monday March 13th, recharged and ready to tackle kitten and baby wildlife season! And start on another renovation project which I’m excited to share once it gets going. Everyone needs a break, especially in the animal welfare world - you can’t pour from an empty cup. So even if you can’t go anywhere, try to take five minutes for yourself and sit in silence and just breathe. I’m going to do just that at my mom’s house 350 miles away 😌. Thank you to all the people who are making it possible for me to have this brief down time! 💜 Kaleb
(Now when I get back I hope we have some applications for this sweet three legged girlie Della Duck 🐱 🦆!)

THE WILLOW CATS
by Margaret Widdemer
Art by Rose Mary Berlin
They call them pussy-willows,
But there's no cat to see
Except the little furry toes
That stick out on the tree:
I think that very long ago,
When I was just born new,
There must have been whole pussy-cats
Where just the toes stick through----
And every Spring it worries me,
I cannot ever find
Those willow-cats that ran away
And left their toes behind!
I can't show you the cover of my upcoming cat book yet (Fall 2023). But I can show you what happens when I place a mock-up of said book in front of my cat Leelo who was resting comfortably and serenely on my office table before I plopped a mini-white monolith in front of her for a photoshoot. Note how Leelo's expression says both "absolutely startled" and "I will burn everything you ever held dear with my laser eyes" at the same time. Now that is range.
HUGE thank you to Don and Mark for doing all the muscle work in lifting and putting together the new cages to upgrade our Isolation Bldg, and thanks to Mary for recruiting their help! It was a wet, windy, yucky day and these guys powered through without complaints. I can’t wait to get everything just right in there and do a little virtual tour. This much improved space will be a beacon of hope for many cats in need in the months to come. 💚
Good morning from Cavalieri! Our cat room is pretty booked up today, but it's a beautiful day to get a drink and admire her from the porch seats 🤩 Also, peep one of our new wall designs behind her. Come by and check out our updates!

Tortie is overseeing the Catman as he works on Cat Museum Reopening details…
I’m looking for a few 💪🏻 folks who can lift who can volunteer some time tomorrow (Friday March 3rd). The Catman2 Shelter new cages have arrived and they are in HEAVY pieces that need to be unpacked and carried a short distance into the isolation building. If a pair of strong people came, it’d probably take about an hour to unpack and move. If you can help, please send us a message. Tomorrow is flexible and I would love to get these cages in the building and ready for me to put together Sunday!
Please Call at the if you can help move, lift & install these cages: 828.293.0892
