Please forgive me--I know the above list is not complete. We had a problem with computer freeze-ups and so the notes are not complete. I will make amends in the next blog. Thanks for understanding.
We had our weekly Petfinder report. We had 1,642 total views. The top 12 cats that were viewed were: Badu, Weber, Goodness, Buckeye, Farrah, Cypress, Betz, Maui, Willard, Octavia, Georgia and County. All wonderful cats!
If you'd like to pre-order your 2013 FFRC Cat Lover's Cookbook Volume II, go to: fofrescue.org/the-ffrc-cat-lovers-cookbook-for-2013/ It has over 650 new recipes, new sections and lots more pictures of the resident kitties!
Today at 11:45 am (Ohio time) we will give a tour to two second grade classes that are in California. We'll show some of the cats up close, then do a tour of the rescue center, including the new Kitty Kabana Room! One of our volunteers, Mary E. will be taking a couple kittens and Derecho to an elementary class here in Defiance for a "cat class". Educate the young and they will help the adults.
It's officially spring.....at least to the cat population. The days are longer and lighter already, which triggers these females to go into heat. Please know this: this overpopulation of kittens can be prevented--get those females and males neutered. Sister/brother, brother/mama--it doesn't matter. Don't think they won't mate, because they WILL. If a cat is not spayed, she WILL have kittens. The kittens born in March and April very likely will have kittens themselves this fall. Please help--grab a cat and get it neutered. The increased calls have already started. There is no way this rescue center can keep up with the overpopulation problem, but together, with human help, we can make a big dent.
Just think, possibly in a month or soon after that, we'll be moving the Covies from their winter home back to Cat's Cove. Can't wait. I always love this move--gives them so much more room to run and play. And on their outside outings, they love the farmyard.
I've heard from the man that adopted Micah. Oh my, what a happy cat. He's a sweetie and so loved. He's become a door greeter. He loves his treats and loves to race with his new brother up and down the hallway. I saw a picture of him and he looks so happy. I'm thrilled for him.
Thank you for your support. I am eternally appreciative to all of you for what you do for this Rescue Center. YOU make a difference and make things happen here! I am grateful. We're doing good here. Have healthy cats (still a few sneezes, but it's ok), Farrah hasn't had any seizures, all the oldsters are doing great, kittens are growing and adoptions are happening!
Raza--is now on hold. She also now has a beautiful bling collar and name tag that says: Raza Daza Doodle Girl. She told me that she's so happy to have a mama.
