Tomorrow is our big surgery day here at FFRC. A tentative count is 20. That will keep us hopping busy. But, we all enjoy it, work good as a team and then these kittens can go up for adoption.
Putter had a very nice birthday yesterday. We opened his birthday cards at BOX time last night. Thru out the day, he got his Temptation Treats whenever he wanted (although that's not much different than any other day! What Putter wants...Putter gets!) He did have lots of extra extra pettings though!
We have the health papers all ready for our soon to be adopted cats--Bomber, Dollianna and Azar. Today we are expecting our 4 guests for the weekend. So glad to these visits!
Silas is doing great--he's fitting right in with the rest of the cats. Sumer is having a bit of a difficult journey in slipping into the ffrc routine, but we're being patient with him. Little Tweet is doing great. He spent some of the day out of his pen yesterday, slept inside his pen but is now out and about again. We're hoping he'll make some kitty friends real soon.
This weekend is a big event for FFRC. Our dance studio gives a performance for the town every June. It's a big event. We are in charge of the concession stand. This is a fundraiser for us and an opportunity to pass out our Catathon flyers. Jodi, our volunteer, has headed this event every year. It's a big job and I'm grateful for her doing this.
FiFi has become an expert Cat Go Round Wheel participant. She can sure make that wheel spin. It seems like all the kittens have a go at it. I saw 3 again try to make it go at one time yesterday--doesn't work quite like that! Teamwork is a must! They sure enjoy this "toy".
We had BOXES last night. I am constantly in awe at your support. Thank you.

Remember to check in at our Causes site at: causes.com/causes/660495-friends-of-felines-rescue-center Big thanks to Jodie/aslanim for taking care of this site for FFRC. I wanted to also thank again Marsha R for those wonderful Home Depo Cannister vacuums that she sent--they are awesome sweepers. We are currently using one in Kitty Kastle and one in Cat's Cove.
Please remember to continue voting for FFRC at The Animal Rescue Site. We are still in #1 position, but must maintain this lead until voting stops on July 17th. We would love to be the winner of that $5,000--would be so very helpful. Thanks for all the votes!
