Cat sanctuary where I volunteer Furball Farm
Current stray cat setup. No MK in two days. I almost wish the neighbors had taken him for their farm colony when they moved because they said they have a heated barn. Hope to see him soon! Monkey Tail stayed until 6am today! Happy guy

Monkey Tail
Is here and I’ll bet he goes in shelter1 as soon as he’s done eating

Pic of new shelter’s door he does NOT like

Daytime black kitty: what the??! Nope nope nope! 😆 (I put out some treats leading to the new shelter’s door. Will see if that helps. Not liking the plastic cover. Thought it was weatherproof as constructed)

Rose colored glasses when it comes to recalling what it was like in the past. Guarantee that the 70's & 80's & early 90's weren't as lovely as everyone seems to recall-especially for working women. Interest rates in 1990 were killer.

MK only showing up very early morning now. He ate for a while & hung out at the edge of he porch briefly. At least LBK doesn’t dive out after him. I’m really hopeful that means 2 bowls &
2 shelters will be fine. Other black cat is willing to show during the day for food
December 3, 2025 at 8:39 PM
Swapped out winter cycling jacket for a blanket this morning. Also putting out a bowl of very small (very $$) kibble for LBK who does seem to have mouth issues. There's just not a feasible way for me to get a heated food bowl out there for wet. 2nd shelter hopefully 2morrow but -12° overnight 2night

I just love that he’s all cozy in there. Gonna turn it up to high tomorrow because we get down to the double digit negatives overnight. He’s here & he’s safe and there’s always food and not frozen water

Little Black Kitty (LBK) has arrived at the shelter. He’s been coming more often again. So cute when he wakes up and stretches his way out the door. Hoping 2nd shelter arrives soon
December 3, 2025 at 12:15 AM
I see MK less and less often. He and black kitty got into a verbal disagreement the other day then he disappeared for a day. Black kitty has been even more timid but did go in the shelter for about 3 hours overnight last night. Low was 5 degrees or so. 2 shelters on the porch may be tricky

Whew! 2 hours raking the roof, using the electric shovel & shoveling by hand. Talked to neighbor & I'm really going to need to get a small snowblower & keep it under a tarp (no place to store it). & need to find a creative way to rake the roof-fully extended rake didn't reach. I'm too short!!

Very soon I'm going to find out if I accidentally redirected cold air into an area that has plumbing with all the mortar repairs & temporary patches I did this year. Apparently you really need degrees in hydrology & aerodynamics (or have family members with that training) in order to own a house 🤣
November 30, 2025 at 2:41 PM
Did a round of shoveling (electric shovel works on this type of snow!) but slipped even in studded boots. Did a grocery/Petsmart run & people were sliding turning so opted out of a walk. Will do some more shoveling (still lots of manual shoveling). It’s pretty & the Bolt did great!

I really think she has a leetle beet of Main Coon in her fluffy genes. She’s my pretty girl (but quite the effective hunter in the catio at the previous house)
November 29, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Finally-got a minor cat bite tonight. The only other bandaides wouldn’t stick. I’m just gonna leave these (was my own fault for picking up a cat I thought was friendly to remove him from an area he snuck into. He was not, in fact, friendly)

3 more Furball cuties. The tabby was so close to falling off the table. That’s a huge heating pad under there. Cat heaven
November 29, 2025 at 3:43 AM
This is Kevin. His quality of life is poor now so soon they’ll let him go. I’ll miss him. He’s a kitchen kitty (gets to basically live in the kitchen on towels and in cat houses)
November 29, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Furball is near a nature preserve so at dusk there are often deer in the road nearby
November 29, 2025 at 3:38 AM
This is my friend Stewart. He’s not adoptable & I’d been told he’s a bit of Jekyll Hyde, but he’s never been that way with me. Definitely doesn’t get along with other cats. He hangs in the storage room so I made him a cozy space (put a blanket over it too) & bought him some Churros. He gets lonely 💔

Sorting pics to upload from Furball Friday. In the meantime…this guy
November 29, 2025 at 3:31 AM
a newspaper from 1972, potato sacks, large clothes & some more modern insulation stuffed in there but maybe not covering the gap well. Stuffed wool insulation in there the best I could-I can't reach! Used a broom handle. Will see if it helps-fingers crossed

Woke up and checked the cam and saw this. Wish I could fit two houses but the 1 outlet already has 3 things attached. It’s 19 degrees right now ☹️
November 28, 2025 at 9:41 AM
Yay! It’s 25 degrees right now. I’ve got it on the middle heat setting & the window door gapped open a bit. Hope he stays a while. MK also showed up so I gave him his Thanksgiving canned dinner
November 28, 2025 at 3:53 AM
This is the one that meowed at me when I went out & stuck around for canned food the other day. Other guy only comes at night. This one seems to have a mouth issue & to me his walk looks a little off. He got 2 cans today for Thanksgiving. Hope he goes in the shelter again tonight.
