Shelley H has offered to make 2013 calendars for FFRC. I have a copy of it and it's wonderful. Each page is filled with different pictures of FFRC cats. I'm thankful that Shelley has offered to do this. Kate also makes calendars each year, but we are now sold out of her calendars. Unfortunately, this will also be the last year that Kate will be doing calendars. Her life in Arizona is very busy, and she no longer has the time to devote to this huge project. So, I'm grateful for Shelley for stepping up and offering to do this.And yes, this is a fundraiser for FFRC! If you are interested, the site is: www.geminisystems.net/calendar
We had another adoption yesterday! Hannah was adopted! I'm so happy for her and her new family. We've been e-mailing about Hannah and they came to visit yesterday. There she was--on the washer, waiting for them. I don't believe her new family even looked at any other cat--it was all for Hannah. We sent some of her special toys and a blankie with her.
We also had two cats returned. They are Telo and Georgia. They were super loved. I felt very sad about having to take them from their home. Their mama loves them, but life circumstances made it where she cannot keep them. She will visit them next week before leaving the state. Telo and Georgia were put into Cat's Corner Room for adjustment time. By the afternoon, Telo had already jumped out of the door window into the main area, three times! So, I had to raise the glass window. Georgia wasn't quite ready to explore yet. But, this morning, their door is open and they can come and go into the main area as they please. Needless to say, Telo was out in a flash. Tomorrow, we'll show him the plastic rings that he always loved to play with.
Hank got to go back to being a Porchie today. His eye looks great, he's still on antibiotics and he WANTS out. So, we'll just continue his care as a Porchie. On his way out, I heard him ask Big Al--"You want to join me in being a Porchie again?" Big Al took off into Thumper's Room, so I guess that means NO!
Saturday we have the possibility of THREE adoptions! Kimshi may also be leaving towards the end of next week. We will continue to try and find the very best homes that we can for these cats.
We had BOXES last night. It dawned on me that we have not had to purchase extra cat food (except for special food from Aunty Julie for Magenta) in a whole year! Isn't that wonderful! We are indeed grateful.

I had the pleasure of seeing Emaline running yesterday thru the kitchen while playing with a toy. That was a wonderful sight to see. Last night, I fell asleep on the couch and when I woke up, amongst my cats, was Putter by my knees and Emaline curled up along my arm. I almost stayed there all night!
I called and checked on Tweets yesterday--all is fine. Sounds like Tweets is very happy, no potty accidents and the family loves her. I'll keep in touch with them. Also checked into the FIve Family--they're doing awesome! I'm so happy. They spend some time in their enclosed porch--when the sun is shining. But, when it is cooler, they're in the house. Made my day to hear this!
The birds are eating heavily at our birdfeeders. On the shelf right now watching them are Graciela, Drake, Spruce, Teller, Cypress and Miau. Now, THAT'S alot of cats all on one shelf! They're doing their stare down, but it doesn't bother the birds at all.
Nikka is visiting FFRC this week. We so enjoy having her. She's taking lots of pictures and is beginning to take some videos. I know she will share these with you all.
Liberty says she sure would love a fun, loving home!
