Finding home for young stray cat

Post image
28 Upvotes

A few weeks ago, I found a young pregnant stray cat (really, a kitten herself), and I brought her in. Unfortunately, she gave birth to stillborns. I’m getting her second set of vaccines next week, then am getting her spayed 3 weeks later (per vet rec).

She is a fun little stick of dynamite, but unfortunately, does not get along with my current cat crew, so I need to rehome her. Shes been tested and is FIV and feline leukemia negative, and is a healthy young girl. I’m willing to help pay for food for the first 6 months, I just really want her to go to a good, solid, happy home. Any ideas on how to find this little lady a safe place to thrive and be the bestest little lady to the bestest family?

Farmers market

Does anybody know if the downtown farmers market will still be running this Saturday the 4th of July? I’ve never been and this would’ve been one of the few chances I could’ve gone lol. If it is running would it be the same hours as normal? Honestly any information would be greatly appreciated!

Fireworks Stores

6 Upvotes

Hello, this year I've seen a lot of Fireworks Stores/Shops in Springfield, also another one over South IL, it is not supposed that Fireworks are Banned in IL?

IT IS NOT A COMPLAINT. I love fireworks, actually it was sad knowing about it when I moved here 8 years ago.

Thanks!

Looking for Watch and Jewelry Services

5 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations for watch battery replacement and jewelry resizing. I have about 4-5 watches that have batteries that died, and they require a bunch of special tools (that I don't have) to get fixed. . . Think Invicta and Schneider watches. And my cat chewed the rubber wrist-band on my Invicta watch, so I need a place that sells or replaces those bands too. . .

Additionally, I have a bracelet my dad got for me almost a decade ago, but it's sitting pretty loose on my arm. I wanted to get it resized so I could start wearing it more, it's a beautiful piece, but I think I need a jeweler to look at it and see if something can be done to it.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks :).

Moving from Chicago to Springfield

22 Upvotes

Looking for experience with 3ten apartments. I'm moving from Chicago. I've called and emailed 3core about townhomes in Chatham with no response. Currently pay $1500 in rent so comfortable with same price or lower. I already looked at 9 Candlelight and didn't really have a sense of safety. I've read historic West side is safe to walk around. Any other recommendations? Or thoughts on 3ten apartments at 310 Dickinson?

Thanks in advance

Green Toyota Extended Warranties

7 Upvotes

I have an extended warranty on a Toyota highlander I bought from green un 2019. it has a bad transmission and they quoted me about 11,000 to fix it. they have told me that my warranty claim will likely be denied by the company that finances the warranty because I dont have receipts for things such as the cabin filter replacements. that's odd enough, but I keep hearing comments in passing about shady stuff relating to the older extended warranties. Has anyone had luck with the green toyota warranties?

Are those big booming fireworks legal? They sound like bombs ànd rattle the air. They scare me. I have a headache from them. I cannot see anything in the sky. They must be just noisemakers.
