Big Cat Updates

I updated BigCatRescue.org/irma and in brief, we picked up another cat to weather the storm with us and then I spend the whole day pulling toys and Coolaroos out of cages while Kathryn moved Babycakes inside and managed all of the other projects to protect cats and property.  It’s been a long, hot day and it’s not over yet.

Kathyrn Stapleton’s Coordinator Report for Friday 9/8/17

Very busy day!  Tons of volunteers to help with prep for the storm.

Sandbagged the gift shop.  Moved out items to make room for people to seek shelter during the storm.

Sandbagged food prep.  Cleared away anything that would blow away.

Put coolaroo beds in the safety entrances so they don’t blow around.

Moved the Texas Tigers down one cage so Zeus could have options of a dryer den during the storm.

Jamie and Victor put in pumps to pump out water during the storm.

Shutters went up on the gift shop food prep and the new gift shop.

That is it for me!
Kathryn

Everyone stay safe!

Keeper MaryLou G. caught Ginger Serval chasing a lizard, AGAIN! What a funny busy girl. Ginger is always looking for mischief to get into.

A few days ago Keeper MaryLou G. found Cyrus hanging out in the shade. The look on his face cracks me up. What is this funny boy thinking?

Keepers picked up all the Coolaroos and put them in the safety entrances so they wouldn’t blow around. Little Dove is sure going to miss hers. ~Keeper MaryLou
