Nikka, a visitor the last few days, left last evening. We certainly always enjoy having Nikka here. She takes awesome pictures of the rescue center cats, the porchies, barnies and covies and shares them with all of you! We have another visitor coming to stay in Kitty Kastle tomorrow!
Next Weds., the 19th, we have Big Al scheduled for surgery to have another ear tumor removed. They will also do a resection of the ear, to help facilitate easier removal of future tumors, as this tends to happen with his kind of ear tumors. This will help him feel so much better. We will also see if we can get Court neutered at the same time.
Mike, who is our concert guy for the Catstock continues on his way to Ohio. He made it to Texas now. The Crescent-News, our local newspaper, called yesterday and will be doing an article for the paper on Catstock! I'll share it with you when it's published. Flyers on Catstock are also going out to some of our local schools! Peace, love and cats--on to Catstock!!

We took in a new kitten several days ago. I introduced him to the cam last night. He has some medical issues and so I waited a few days. He still has some medical issues, but I've decided I'm not going to "hide" him any longer. You ALL know what we do here at FFRC--we have healthy kittens come in and sometimes we have many medical issue kittens come in. So, I'm happy to tell you about our little Pizazz. I must admit he took my breath away when I first met him, as he so reminded me of Bravo. He's 6 weeks old, male, black and with those Bravo eyes. And he also has rear leg issues. His problems are very different than Bravos though. His legs simply don't work and are flaccid/atrophied, but with no pain. There's no muscle tone at all. He does have anal sphincter tone which is extremely important. But, still, potty problems are what we are dealing with. We will be helping him to potty on a regular basis for right now, trying to develop some increased nerve sensations, especially for urinating. Bravo left a giant hole in all of our hearts, and I believe this little fellow will help us all heal. He is not Bravo, but we will love him and help him as much as we wanted to help Bravo. He is welcome here and we will try our best to help him with some of his medical issues. He has a mighty personality--already was swatting at the cats! He is indeed Pizazz!
Paddy Purr--what a handsome boy!
