At the moment, I have all 4 of the youngest kittens running around like mini-steam engines here in the office. So much energy. They sure do know how to have fun. Here's the good news: the two new ones (male, polydactyls) are now on hold. Yes--they are going together to a family that has already adopted from us in the past (Mary & Ron). They visited them yesterday and want to give them both a wonderful, loving home. They'll still be here for a while. Next week is their x-ray/neuter day and then on the 26th will be officially adopted. So very glad for these two baby kittens!
We also had two adoptions yesterday! These are the people that had adopted Darby. Because of super high vet bills (4 months working with Darby), they knew they could no longer keep up with the care, so they did the right thing and brought him back to FFRC. Little did we all know how short his time would be here. They still have Danny (also adopted 8 years ago from FFRC) and Danny and the owners are very lonesome for another cat. So, they came and Boing and Miler conquered the two owners--they thoroughly will be loved and given a wonderful home. I do believe each of them was sporting a big smile upon leaving--both the owners and our cats!
We also had a cat that was spayed yesterday. Koharu made her way to the vets and had her physical (passed with flying colors) and her spay. She's still a bit tired today, but is recovering. Joyful is having her eyes cleaned 2-3 times a day and she is so much more cooperative. Much less stress, for her and for us! Gallant's burn wound is still healing. It turned a very bright red a couple days ago. It looks good, but we've restarted his antibiotics and now applying his burn cream 2-3 times a day. He'll be fine. He sure does wander around alot in the rescue center. He no longer stays in Kitty Campus Room, but he still loves his orange blanket to sleep on. Montana is also doing great--full recovery ahead. Sutures are out, incision area looks good. He is a pretty easy going boy. Doce is sleeping with Bella on the red poof at the moment!
