Susan: Congratulations on your new home! I hope Lil Mister and Tuffy find you soon, but that's great that you've been so successful considering the circumstances. I wish I could help you with the new trees and such! Best of luck with everything and what amazing landlords you must have!

It had to be rescue friendly. That's why it took a month to find. Supplies....I'm afraid what we need at this point is stuff that's too big to ship. The cats really need new cat trees. All three of the ones we had were so infused with smoke that they were just unusable. I do need to replace carriers and traps over time. Mine were stored in the basement where the fire started and I'm working with borrowed ones that really need to be returned soon. But we're good on litter boxes, bowls, that sort of thing. It is such a relief to have everyone moved. I felt so vulnerable in the little apartment where we had been staying -- ground floor, street front, two rooms and 20 cats. Nice to have them in a house again. Kat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Susan, It's great that you've found a rescue friendly place/landlords!! Maybe Lil Mister & Tuffy are only waiting until you had a new home to bring them to before they show themselves again for you to find them>. Now that you have a place - what do you need in the way of supplies??

The owners are genuinely rescue-friendly. The real litmus test was when I asked about relocating the remaining two ferals (Cutie-Pie and Pumpkin) from the backyard of my old burned-out place to our new back yard and was told, without hesitation, "yes, of course, bring them." So, we are home. > > New phone number (should be on this afternoon) is 707-554-2371. DSL service should be transferred in 7 to 10 days.

She's now cooling her heels in a condo cage in my new backyard. Re-setting traps again tonight at the old house in hopes of getting Pumpkin. > > Lil Mister and Tuffy, two of the cats who ran out during the fire, remain missing.

The support we received after the fire was amazing and it really kept us going. I can't imagine having gotten through this without friends supporting us and keeping us sane. > >
