No tricks but maybe some treats and tons of love and doting over our super senior girl OLIVE!! Over 18yrs old, Olive is the biggest doll baby and we're the lucky ones to have her under our care. Keep on rockin' sweet girl.

Have you heard about the latest kitty in L3? Our feline leukemia positive handsome hunk BO has hardly been with us but a few days and already he's in our laps and seemingly, has moved right in! We are enjoying him SOOO much!! Welcome BO!

Well, Hello DOLLY!
Check out newer arrival and cutest of the cuties, DOLLY! She's still settling in but already she's stealing our hearts. What a delight!

Time to Celebrate!
Time for a High-Five!!
Paws crossed BUT Salem has turned a tiny little corner this afternoon and we're loving what we are seeing. She has started to eat some wet food and she even participated in one of our staff meetings a little bit ago. She's engaging with us, in the present with us and we are THRILLED! Still, never hurts to send more healing thoughts her way.

Wee one SALEM heard your healing thoughts!! THANK YOU!!

She is still hanging in there and just a little bit ago Mary saw her eating a tiny piece of kibble in her condo. We were syringe feeding her this morning (per the vet's rec from yesterday) but she's still not really eating enough. She has full access to wet food which we hope she will start eating on her own. She does not have URI nor a fever, so we are cautiously optimistic on her full recovery. More healing thoughts are welcome. We can't slack off just yet!!

We love our volunteers and Volunteer Margaret was on task..again...in getting our dogs out into the community. Way to go Margaret!! PADDY was the lucky one to go off site and who did she run into but CFC Alum Joan of Bark!!! Oh, the fun they had!!

Update from Margaret: I took Paddy to the Fluvanna Farmers' Market Sunday. This was the first time she rode in the back seat of my car by herself and she did really well. She liked looking out the windows and drooling on the back of my seat. When we got there, she took a few minutes to acclimate herself but interacted appropriately with all the dogs we met. Paddy play bows eagerly to the other dogs and enjoys sniffing and being close to them. She played on her leash with Joan of Bark who regularly attends the farmer’s market with her adopter who is a vendor at the market. She also interacted well with humans, especially children.

The market held a Halloween Costume Contest for Dogs and, wearing her “Adopt Me” vest and a neck ornament given to her by a bystander, she won 5th place in the contest! Joan of Bark won 1st place.

Tiny kitty SALEM needs healing thoughts sent her way. Our 1.4lbs kitty suddenly stopped eating and we've started syringe feeding her. We're in contact with the local vet but if she's still "eating" with our assist and no fever/URI, we'll continue down this path as the vet is booked. More calls this morning to see if ER visit is needed based on how she did overnight. Paws crossed for her.

Tuesday's Tips from CFC!

10/26/2026

Folks say, “She’s as sweet as ever.” Don’t make me blush, but alas I do think it’s true. A true friend to all- welcoming of the humans as they come to give me some TLC and also the other cats in my room. While I don’t have a bestie here, I might consider them all my “besties.” I still have my eye on the prize of a new full time pet position but til I am selected, I am healthy and want for nothing. Please ask for me, Callie today. 9 yrs young

Affectionately known as MoMo, our MOSAIC loves being the center of attention. Here with her bestie CHARLOTTE, this pair of friendly, snuggly gals will have you at first purr. A great addition to our senior room, Mosaic is a young at heart 9yr old while her pseudo-sister Charlotte is 14yrs young. They are definitely better together and are very loving, kind and affectionate.
