Happy June Day! Wow--this is the super busy month. The Catathon is June 24. The delivery of 11,000 pounds of litter is coming today. June 9th is our surgery day here at FFRC. June 16th is our practice session for the Catathon and our next Catathon meeting is June 6th.

A super big thanks too to Deb11111 who has made it possible for the rescue center to have an iPad--such exciting news. With this, I will be able to stream from anywhere here in the rescue center! What fun we can have with this!

All kittens and cats are doing real well. Health wise we're sitting really good, of which I am so very thankful.

We are working hard on the Catathon now, as of this week. Many many details to take care of! Please remember, when you start seeing pictures of baskets and other items. ALL items that have been sent WILL be involved with the Catathon, whether it's for a basket, the auction table or the sale table. You have made it possible for us to have a huge array of items--this will be such an awesome event! Pictures coming soon, along with descriptions.

T-shirts are here, but.....hold the orders yet! I am in the process of getting the volunteers their shirts first, then the door will open for all our other friends! We will have an order form in the website (similar to the cookbook form). Payment ($18 in USA, $20 outside USA) can be made by PayPal, check or money order! Colors are Lake (blue/grey), apple green and raspberry. Sizes are small, medium, large, XL, XXL and XXL.
