We had an update from PetFinders. The 12 cats most looked at were: Boing, Raza, Badu, Farrah, Octavia, Tizzie, Buckeye, Haylow, Weber, County, Willard and Preakness. We have a couple families coming tomorrow, Saturday morning to look at kittens. Possibly JoeBob will be leaving for his new home!
Tonight at 6 pm sharp, the 3rd afghan auction will start. This one is the beautiful white/light blue/aqua afghan made by Linda T/Clemm. It's beautiful. Open bids will be taken for 24 hours and will end promptly at 6 pm on Saturday. This auction is a little different--bids will be accepted in any amount from $1 to $20, but not over $20. So, you may want to keep a sharp eye on how the bid is going. Look for all this excitement on the FFRC facebook chatters page. The reason we do this on the chatters page, is we need to "pin" this auction, so it stays at the top of the page and we cannot do that on the other FFRC's facebook page. Thanks for understanding! Let's have some fun with this.
Please keep voting. My--what a very close voting race. Yesterday we were at 4.15 and today we are at 4.16. But, the second place was 3.99 yesterday and today is at 4.02. Please remind your friends to vote.Our goal for this $10,000 prize: to finally get the siding on Kitty City, (most of it is just plywood at this time) and to put on a real Catio--instead of the shed that's on the side for extra room. This has been a goal for a long time and we sure hope to be able to accomplish this. Kitty City houses the Cat's Cove for the winter and is used for many different purposes the rest of the year. It's a very well used building!
I've heard from the family that adopted Boing and Miler already. Sounds like this is a very happy household. Here is the report: Boing is either in stop or go motion--he's either napping or playing hard. He has already become the "greeter of the door" to their friends and family. The only problem with Miler is....he purrs too loud!! Miler also likes to sleep under the covers! Sounds like all is well. I'd like to clarify something.

The Kabana's palm tree is a big success--the cats love it. They very fascinated by the palm branches. They're a lot of fun to watch them play in it. Gallant's wound is looking better today again. We'll keep up with the antibiotics yet. Putter was out for a short bit twice yesterday. Basically, he comes out one door and goes to the other door to go back into the house! Kiara is inside the big red shoe toy that's for Doce--she's looking pretty happy with herself that she got inside it!
Sleepy Haylow--what a sweetie!
