The 17 cats are now moved into Kitty City. The move went smooth and quick. We had a little trouble getting Charlie to cooperate, but then, that's Charlie! Once we had him, he was just fine. Four of them received distemper vaccination updates. Most of their ears were cleaned. All were weighed. Rolland checked in with the highest weight at 17.04, with Sevaun coming in second at 16.11. Our two tortis, LaDonna and LeLe were the smallest, both at 7.15. They all appear to be happy to be in their winter home and settled in. Now, the snow can come and we know these Covies will be snug and warm.
We had BOXES last night! Thank you very much!

After boxes, we also showed a very very long green/red paper chain--each chain representing a person that donated money toward the General Fund last week. This chain was very long! We then taped the 2 ends together to signify a circle of friendship, of all of us together. We now have this chain draped all over the rescue center--so far it's still up, but the cats are intrigued by it! Not sure how long it will last!
Whiskers is doing great--he's one of the new porchies. This cat is awesome and so sweet. I swear he comes running up to people with a smile on his face! The other porchies have 100% accepted him. Because of the nice weather yesterday, we even had out outdoor enclosure open here in the rescue center. As soon as that window went up, out they went! They had a great day out there watching the birds at the feeders.
We've been adding new videos to our youtube account. It's at: youtube.com/user/FOFRescueCenter
Coca-Cola--he's even sweeter than he is ornery!
