  June is American Humane's Adopt-A-Cat Month GIVE A SHELTER CAT A STARRING ROLE IN YOUR LIFE! Approximately 4 million cats end up in shelters every year, including thousands born every spring and summer during “kitten season.” To help promote adoptions of these fun, affectionate animals, American Humane celebrates Adopt-A-Cat Month each June. Local shelters are brimming with cats of every breed, age and personality just waiting for a loving home. Whether you prefer young and frisky or mature and mellow, you’re sure to find the perfect cat companion during Adopt-A-Cat Month! Adopting a cat from your local shelter will enrich your world in so many different ways: Cats will keep you entertained with their playful antics. Cats are very affectionate and love to cuddle with you. Having a cat can reduce your blood pressure and prevent heart disease. Cats are very clean -- they bathe themselves! Cats are independent and can be left alone while you are at work. Cats do not need to be housebroken -- using the litter box comes naturally to them. Cats do not need a lot of space. They are perfect pets for apartments and smaller homes. Cats get plenty of exercise living indoors. Just 15 minutes of playtime each day will satisfy a cat. Taking care of a cat can help teach children responsibility and humane values. Approximately 4 million homeless cats end up in animal shelters every year in the United States. By adopting, you’ll be saving a life.

There is a great activity going around at the farm. Starlings, warblers have taken over. We have observed three active nests with very noisy chicks and their very busy moms. We decided not to use certain doors as to not startle them. When they will start their flying "lessons" as they may walk or fall on porches I must make sure our doggie's predator instinct will be under observation :) At night frogs, early morning mallards, more frogs and jays and who knows what else are croaking and brooaaaking and hisss hisssing and prussss pruss and chickk chikking..

Don't you just love their sound? We are blessed, those who can hear, however, with one ear or little. Early morning when I am between dreams and waking these creature's calls are Vivaldi to my ears....
