Saturday is our spay/neuter day. We weighed all the kittens yesterday. All have had good weight gains. We'll have approximately 17 surgeries to do this coming Saturday. Give us a half hour and we can turn the front office into a great surgery room, including 2 surgery lights and all the needed equipment!
Plans are going full force with the Catathon. Many baskets are complete, pictures being taken which will soon be on Flickr, schedules being made, big tent is ordered along with porta-pots. Lots of activity going on.
We also have our t-shirts up for sale now that the volunteers have received theirs. You can go to the website fofrescue.org There is a tab, just click and order! So easy, thanks to Lenz. Steve worked 5 hours last night, filling t-shirt orders. We purchased 200 to start with and have used them all. We already have another 250 shirts ordered. As soon as they are in, they will also be shipped out to you. So, don't be discouraged--more shirts are on their way! Thanks for such the successfull t-shirt orders.
We also have extra FFRC cookbooks. The manufacture is sending quite a few extra cookbooks, to help cover the initial shipping costs. So, if you didn't get a chance to order an FFRC cookbook, go to our website and click on the cookbook link.
Penn and Teller truly are twins. What one does, the other does. When one gets into trouble (just kitty orniness!), the other one is right there too. Finally, Nemo is starting to emerge from her pen more. We like to let them decide when they want to do this. I believe, in her case, she's opted to stay in Dodger's Pen for so long because she loves that hammock!
The new older kitten, Sumer is now in Patience's Pen--we've moved him up from Thumper's Room. This morning we opened his pen door and he is starting to venture out. He's a little unsure about it, but in 24 hours, I believe, he will be more adjusted. He loves people and really enjoys a chin rub. We sure like his extra toes.
Daymo, Ginseng and Spruce are quite the clowns--these are a fun 3-some. It's so interesting to watch the interactions of cats. Then when you mix in Larrymore and Martha Ann to that 3--it's a circus. These are professional toy players. Dollianna just made her entrance into the office--at full speed, and headed for the toys! Love to watch her play.
