THANK YOU to all of the Ocracats fans who responded to the call for help and sent food for the island community cats! What a bonanza! And also the hand warmers for the kitty shelters. These dozens of cases of food will help us so much this winter! You are all so awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! ❤️❤️😺😽
UPDATE: It's okay if orders won't be here until next week. It will be so needed after we've used what we have now!
Good morning, everyone!! We have been busy with Ocracats this winter, and this weekend looks like a real bruiser coming! We have strawed and hand warmered all the shelters and cubbies and we can't thank you enough for the handwarmers and straw! It has been a long winter and we are all feeling it. We have been below freezing for almost a week, days are reaching just above freezing and this is supposed to continue for another week.
We are almost out of hand warmers!! If any of you feel the inclination, we could sure use more boxes of hand warmers! We've had to use more than we expected and we could use a little help getting more sent. Any donations can be sent to Ocracats 338 British Cemetery Rd. Ocracoke, NC 27960
Our canned food is low, very low, as we are feeding 'extra' to get through these cold days and nights. We mostly use Friskies shreds and gravies canned.
We are expecting anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow with winds of 40-65 mph Saturday through Monday morning. We hope all of you stay safe and warm during this weather event!
Not too much time to post, have to go feed and tend to Ocracats!
UPDATE: Dec.31- ALL KITTENS ARE ADOPTED! Congratulations to the Hannum family and the Ezzell/Beverly family!! We are so excited! The babies all have wonderful homes for the New Year!
Congratulations to the Jourdan family for adopting little Raven! He is the sweetest boy and turned into a marshmallow when they held him! Originally, they thought about adopting our little girl, but when Raven met them, he made up his mind! They were HIS!! We know he will have a wonderful life, and he already had his first visit with Santa!
We have one little boy scheduled to be adopted mid-January, but we still have two little darlings, our little girl and her brother, both cuddle buns! Their birthday is approximately Oct. 18, so they are at the 10 week stage and are doing beautifully. The pictures aren't' the best (I have a little flip phone, and the babies won't sit still!) but you can see they are all black, have the cutest expressions, love to explore and in one picture are looking out of the kitten room to where the big boys are and they are so eager to meet them! And they've all become butt-sitters! They sit up and bat at each other. It's hysterical!! They will get along with other cats or kittens, but they haven't met a dog yet.
