the cats are coming! the cats are coming!

It is hard to believe....the cats are coming! Lillith and Buddha will join us on Monday, May 7. Chris is flying to HOnolulu to pick them up and then fly with them back to Kauai. What a journey! We are excited, anxious and relieved to get this process FINALLY done! Why did we have to wait so long to get them? Well, its a LONG story...but they had to be quarantined back in Wisconsin due to the strict requirements that Hawaii has for pets and rabies concerns. There is zero rabies on the island because of these strict rules -- but it makes our part of the journey frustrating... The cats had been staying with "friends" in Wisconsin, and then were moved to the American Animal Hospital in Neenah (which we highly recommend!) for the final leg of their journey in Wisconsin. Then the kind hearted souls at the AAH are driving the cats MOnday morning to Chicago from Wisconsin. We are so appreciative of them!

Stay tuned for more... we need to head to the beach on this beautiful Saturday afternoon!

ALoha -a hui hou! Rachel, Chris and Noah

The girls have certainly become well-traveled over the last couple of months. Who knows how they may have changed due to their experiences...you know it can be hard to return home after tasting independence from Mom and Dad...but maybe now you both will feel a sense of home now that you are all together again! Good luck and I hope the cats make the trip okay.
