All is fine here at the Rescue Center. This cooler weather in the mornings, bring on the craziness of the kittens! Such a joy to watch them play. Jaina is right now, taking a springy toy, walking across the room with it in her mouth, letting go of it, to watch it sprong back. Over and over again she does this!

We would love to have you. If you are here for Catstock, and would like to help with one of the game tables for the afternoon, let me know! I've just heard from Mike--they were going through Sedona, AZ yesterday. Safe travels! Check out the new backgrounds to our different sites--they all reflect Catstock!
Our new arrival, Scout is now known as Zora. Since we lost our Zorca, we would still like to honor that name. The name came from the Name that Cat at Catathon, for TokTuB's mom. Her other nickname is Zora, so we will call little Scout (since we already used that name), Zora. She is now ready to come out and play! After the early morning sweeping is done, the door to Dodger's Pen will be opened. She is an awesome, healthy little girl!
Cassidy is doing wonderful. He continues to feel better. No more eye pain from that nasty old eye. He's playing and purring now. So very nice to see his happy self emerging again!
We had two adoptions on Sunday! Tallulah went to her new home. She was put on hold two weeks before and was just awaiting her spay to be done. Also, Dennsmore was adopted. I do believe Dennsmore picked this family himself! We will miss both of them, but so happy for their adoptions!

The past years, we have had a young girl, by the name of Kaylee who has visited FFRC. She loves FFRC and cats. She always does a cat project for their local fair. I just got word, that her (and cat Jonah) won Grand Champion Cat and then went on to win Reserve Grand Champion for all the Small Animals. Kaylee is an awesome girl who has a big heart! Way to go, Kaylee.
A poem called I WILL BE, by Rob Anderson. Sent for Bravo and Twinkle, by Terry K/sweetp727
If you think of me as gone forever...I will be.
If you think of me as sadness and tears...I will be.
If you think of me as your broken heart...I will be.
That's not what I want to be, but I will be.
If you think of me as memories to cherish...I will be.
If you think of me as laughter and joy...I will be.
If you think of me as your healing heart...I will be.
That's what I want to be, please let me be.
Twinkle--still thought of and loved, with happy memories.
