PPVA's Next Adoptable... Midnight - And Some Catching Up With the Girls of the Casa

You may remember, from a few days ago, that Space Paws is going to help the kind folks at Perry Point Veteran's Administration promote the kittehs they've been rescuing. They've watched a feral colony form at the hospital and have worked hard on TNR... and on finding homes for the more adoptable kittehs! Just like Space Paws folks, they're doing this on their own time, and at their own expense.

So, let me introduce a handsome bloke by the name of Midnight...

Says foster mom, Cathy:

This is Midnight. Midnight is a rescue from the Baltimore area where quite a few veterans were feeding and loving him. He wasn’t allowed to stay where he hanging out, and Animal Rescue picked him up-even after he was neutered and given his shots- and we had to pay to get him back. We decided to take him home, because we had nowhere else to take him. He loves people and has been well socialized. He doesn't do so well with other kitties, because he seems to be a bit territorial, but he is playful and loving to people. He is almost solid black with big, beautiful eyes. Midnight needs someone who can love him, brush him and keep him all to themselves.

So, folks (especially in MD)... spread the word, OK??

Meanwhile, back at the Casa~

With the hiatus in blogging while Winnie was ill, you haven't seen much of the girls. The Casa only has Sophie as a foster right now. You might remember that Valerie was heartbroken that Soph was so nervous around young Isaiah and we decided it was best if Sophie came back to us. Do you think she's fitting in??

The girls are on the new love seat. Yes, I'll give you all a grand tour of the renovated first floor... it was finished while Win was so sick... just as soon as a few spare minutes and a sunny day for filming coincide... LOL!

And, yes, that is a white couch. I like the white - it's light and bright and makes the small Casa look bigger. Why would someone with so many cats risk white? Slip covers, my friends, slip covers!! Gloriously machine washable slip covers! After lots and lots of looking, that became the primary criteria for the new furniture. I toyed with some pieces I liked better but, in the end, decided on kitteh friendly.

And here's a shot of Bitty and Sophie on the "company" slip covers. I'll be keeping these in reserve for company occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas so I'll always have a good set to put on. If the others become pulled or stained beyond my ability to lauder them, I'm not going to worry about it. Actually I have 2 sets of "everyday" covers because, while washable, they need to be line dried - this has already come in handy because Win did soil them during her illness. Once I get a few more green papers together I may just get another set of the striped covers for regular use... I like 'em! Or maybe red!

Hmmm... pictures reveal what I missed in real life... looks like I should have steamed them a bit more, but I don't think anyone noticed.

I went with IKEA, after long debate, because they were (1) relatively inexpensive, a real plus after the renovation, (2) I liked them well enough... actually more in my house than in the store... (3) they sat "upright" enough for me, since I'm one of those rare folks who does not like to sink into furniture, and (4) they had a good selection of washable slip covers, in case I get bored with the white.

So there's a little catchin' up for you. More later on the Casa Crew and, tomorrow, another PPVA foster!
