Friday, December 7

We now have a phenomenal day due to our fundraising efforts! This is just wonderful. I have said for a long time that FFRC has the best volunteers in the world. We also have the best mods, admins, friends, supporters, chatters and lurkers in the world. My heart is full of thanksgiving. 
The first night, we had $3,226
The second night, was $5,967
The third night, was   $7,624
Last night, was          $8,644   So very exciting!

Tomorrow is our surgery day. Since it's getting later in the year, our surgery load is not so heavy this time. We will be doing 6 boys and 2 girls. The males are: Gent, WIllard, Basil, JoeBob, Pushkins and Pushkiss. The girls are Pania and Keena. These surgeries are a go, IF they pass their physicals. While Dr. Darcy is here, we will also do many other physicals. Those on the list is: Emaline, Findlay, Dove, Bondi, County, Raza, Zelda, Cutie, Fifi, Jaina, Kiara, Octavia, Paddy Purr and Paddy Cakes. The reason for some of these physicals, is it's time! Some of the cats mentioned for physicals hasn't had one done for 8-9 months...so it's time!

For those that are in the area, there is a cat show in Maumee, OH on Saturday and Sunday. We are taking a part of the day off and going on Sunday! Janet has never been to one and I LOVE them, so I think we'll have some fun. Judy S, our volunteer, and Chris from Dr. Pettigrew's office are also going. 

Little Gent is doing great. He is extremely loving and playing. It won't be long until he'll be out and about with the rest of the gang. Pania is becoming a bit braver and is now venturing to Kitty Campus Room to have a "walk about" in there. This is good news that she's bcoming braver!

Frith--a handsome boy.
