Bus Conversion Progress and Furry Things!

We have made much progress on the bus conversion since our last post. We have electric, a dining room, a toilet, a sink, a bed, storage and shelving. Also, we have some great events that have passed and are coming up!

But let me tell you, finding insurance for bus conversion in the state of Kentucky is quite the challenge! We have got many reasons as to why we cannot be insured by different companies. Some cannot insure because it used to be a school bus. Some cannot insure because they don't know how to write the policy for something that can be used as a home that can drive. yadda yadda yadda
We are gonna keep on trying though cuz we gotta follow our dreams!














I was thinking I would give up on some hobbies and get rid of lots of art supplies but I know myself and I would just buy them again so, we created shelving to store lots of craft supplies, bathroom supplies and miscellaneous. It has been hard for me to shed material possessions cuz I wanna hold onto them and make new things or rehome them to specific people. The house is almost empty and we just can't wait to have everything we need on the bus.

We are trying to break kitties of bad habits but some of the habits have gotten worse lately with all the changes in the house. They are stressed and acting out. We want them all to get along and not pee on the bus so we can take them with us. We are thinking we may have to get some of them some anti anxiety medicine to ease the transition and calm their nerves. We are following lots of suggestions to quit their squabbling and little messes. We still have two fosters up for adoption- Percy and Kitty Kitten. They would love to be together cuz they are buddies now. Percy is helping raise Kitty Kitten who was a wounded kitten eating off of our porch that Shamrock Foundation helped us with.
We have decided too that Italy, Jacek's male cat would never be happy on the bus as he has made this neighborhood his stomping grounds and loves to be outdoors. A friend of his offered to take him and let him roam his farm. We think he would love it and we will check out the farm soon to see if it is a good fit. We want to follow our dreams and have all the kitties with us. We are just not sure if they will all be happy on the bus. We still need to build some walkways for them up high along with attaching their giant cat tree in the bus. We do have two kennels in case some of them need to feel more secure while traveling. 

Speaking of furry creatures, we have a benefit for Alley Cat Advocates and Shamrock Foundation tomorrow night with Drunk & Sailor! We will be raffling off cats! (Just kidding… but maybe it's not a bad idea!) We will be giving more info about Percy and Kitty Kitten at the show to find them forever homes.

Percy, the three-legged wonder!

Kitty Kitten is a brown/gray tabby that is less than 4 months old. Adorable! We will have photos of her available at the show!

Here is the event, Fur the Love of Animals! Invite everyone!!!
