This week has been fairly busy. We have a stall at the Balloon festival Sunday & Monday from 10am to 7pm, so it has been a case of calling around everyone trying to sort out shifts. Luckily enough we seem to be ok (at present until someone drops out or forgets!). june & Glynis are also having a stall on Monday at Rogerstone Welfare ground - so a busy Bank Holiday weekend ahead for fund raising - lets hope the money raised makes it worth it!
On Tuesday did a home visit for a cat that had been reserved at the Cat Adoption Day on Saturday 19th Aug. However after chatting to the lasy it was decided that the cat she had reserved was not really the right cat for her, she wanted something quite easy (as she had only had dogs before & wasn't 100% sure that she really wanted a cat) & also something for her 4yr old granddaughter, who was slightly nervous of cats. The cat she had chosen had lived with children but the comment I had had when I had picked him up was that he was 'not particularly' socialable with children. So after another chat with her, it was decided that she would not adopt Kermit & would wait for a more suitable cat.
Wednesday had a new volunteers meeting, there was the potential of 12 people coming along, although I was aware that over half would probably not turn up. However only 1 new volunteer came along - it was a disaster from my point of view, totally devasted me for at least 48 hours... However the 1 girl that did turn up should hopefully become a useful volunteer in the home visiting department.
Thursday I just picked up and dropped off a couple of traps locally & today was a night for sorting out the website & updating a blog that has not been well looked after!
An update on Precious, Blibo & Baggins. Unfortunately Precious came back into care after a few short days in her new home. Despite 'testing her out' my 3yr old niece, Precious did not take kindly to the 2yr old child she was to live with, in fact she was terrified. So she came back into care to be reunited with her 2 kittens. However a couple of days later, a lovely couple came to look at Bilbo & Baggins & decided to offer Precious a home as well! They were all homed on Saturday 19th so fingers crossed that all is ok, & I will give them a call next week.
