Cats to See Dentists on May 18th

The following cats will be getting dentals on this coming Saturday and as usual, we will stream them LIVE on our main Facebook page at Facebook.com/bigcatrescue.  We would be grateful to any of you who could pop in and join the video comments to help us chat with newcomers.

• Frankie Bobcat – 3 root canals
• Alpha Rehab Bobcat will be checked to see if her tooth is growing properly. The results of this exam will help determine when she will be released and a wonderful place for her release has been found.
• Sapphire Tiger will have an overall exam as well as a dental check.
• If there is time, we may do another cat as well, to be announced at that time.

Today was busy! Thanks to everyone who came in to help with flea prevention treatment feeding, we got most of the cats to take them! Yay! Jinx and Jasmine went home! Priya is on vacation and Sundari is on funcation; enjoying their freshly mowed spaces thanks to the Interns!

Thank you, Deb Quimby, for the delicious pizza lunch. Erin Carden and Aleesa Salcido cleaned the van and everything inside. The interns and Lauren Grant cleaned the golf carts. Some last minute sign-offs were done at the end of the day!

Natalia Leopard likes to sit in her platforms and peek out at keepers and neighbors. I wonder if she thinks she is hidden.
