Hello to all of our blog friends! There are 8 kittens running "amuck" here in the front office with me! I love it, even if it's a bit distracting as they run around my chair and climb up my leg. Putter is here, looking at them like he thinks they've gone nuts! He's so easy to read his face. Queenie is also here--watching all the activity. Emaline is on the big red marshmallow bed. She enjoys the kittens, except for when they want to play with her tail!
We will be moving the 3 newbie kittens up today and put them in Patience's Pen. Bondi will also probably come up to the main area. We've had all 4 out and about in Thumper's Room and they are getting along fine. Bondi is still a worry--has gained a bit of weight, but ever so slowly.
Angel Kisses is a love. What a totally different kitten she is. She will even raise her chin up in greeting to us. She loves to be petted. The healthier she gets, the shinier her coat becomes. Shaling and Purresa's kittens will be out and about again all day today.
Parking Lot/Project Noah--the work continues. As they get closer to the end of the parking lot, the less parking spots we have! We're now all parking in the front yard or neighbor's yard. Hopefully they can get more parking places available across the road for us to be able to use, for Saturday. It's so interesting to watch that concrete come down the shute and fill in such huge areas. Then to see them roll, shake and sweep the concrete smooth. They sure are experts!
I would like to say a big thanks again to our volunteers--they truly are an awesome group of people. Their compassion, dedication and the time they give is astounding. Each and every one of them is important to this Rescue Center.
Please keep voting for FFRC at The Animal Rescue Site. We are trying to keep that first place anchored so can can win $5,000! I am currently working on getting the Paddy's Traveling Notes ready to put in our website! Watch for it at: fofrescue.org Also check out our Flickr link on our website. Lots of new pictures being added that were taken by Jen and Nikka!

Cyrilla is so curious about the kittens that are playing. Her whiskers are forward, her ears are up....you can just tell that she would like to join them! Maybe tomorrow.....
Penn and Teller are rough-housers. They play hard, run fast and are full speed ahead. So much fun to watch them. They are very good with the kittens. Kiara has been sleeping alot this week--it's her way of dealing with the noisy concrete trucks. She doesn't like all the racket.
Here's Paddy after he's returned from his World Tour, along with his friend TC (Traveling Companion) and little Tigger who they adopted from a rescue center! Check out the other friends above them, welcoming them home!
