We have a new cat here, name is Silas. He's a big black and white boy. He came from the Rescue Center, but was tossed outside, after having been there for 3 years. After gathering information, we were able to get him back. Unfortunately, the friend of Silas (also from FFRC) is still missing. We have an ad in the paper with a reward, along with people looking for him going on right now. I so hope we find the 2nd cat. This should never ever have happened. Part of the contract with FFRC, is that ANY cat at ANY time can come back here if no longer unable to be cared for. This door is ALWAYS open to returnees.
The litter has arrived! Wow--what a huge, gigantic amount of litter--all thanks to YOUR votes. We received 11,000 pounds of litter, all in 16 pound heavy plastic bags. Very nice! We've already got the Cat's Cove litter-pools with some of this litter in it! I'm very grateful for this. We were beginning to think it wasn't coming yesterday. It was scheduled to be here between 1 and 3:00, but didn't arrive until 6:40 pm. But, it's here now and we're happy. Thanks to all the people that helped us unload. Some is stored in Kitty City, some is stored in the stall in the big red barn.
We took in another young cat yesterday. Connie D was showing some visitors Cat's Cove and the farmyard, when she spotted a black/white cat. The cat immediately went up to Connie, and lo and behold, this one also has extra mittens. Such a sweet girl. Absolutely loves people. She's dirty and was so hungry. Her bath will happen this morning and her tummy is now full, so she's a happy girl. Her name is Sumer, prounced Soo-mer, which means light!
We had BOXES last night! We did them early (6:00) and a rush job, because we found out the litter delivery was going to happen soon. Thanks to you for your support!

We have a visitor coming in the next couple days, very interested in 1 or 2 short hair females cats. He has lost his cats over the past couple years--both were geriatrics. He's ready now to adopt.
