Buffy is also a bit under the weather. He is a Covie cat. Buffy has been with us since a young cat. He had a couple rough days last week, but has been eating good. Yesterday afternoon we noticed he was most definitely not doing well. He was unable to stand--kept toppling over, had diarrhea, very dilated eyes. Meds given, fluids given and kisses given again. This morning, he too is somewhat better. Can stay upright without falling. Perhaps a possible stroke? He's here in Thumper's Room, resting quietly.
Joyful, joyful, we adore you! Yes, we love our Joyful cat. She is s l o w l y enjoying all the attention and pets/kisses! It thrills us at her acceptance of us.

I wanted to update on on an "happening" here at FFRC. As you know, FFRC continues to grow. In the past couple years, I have become overloaded with trying to keep up. Even with putting in 15-16 hour days, every day, I'm not keeping up. Our volunteers are priceless to me. They are the backbone of this Rescue Center. But, in the meantime, I have been feeling overwhelmed in trying to keep up. As of yesterday, Lynnette will be helping. She will be here several days of the week, doing bookwork, ordering items, helping with phone calls, basically helping me with whatever is needed. Lynnette and I have worked together off and on for almost 20 years. We've worked at a vet's office together, I hired her as an assistant to our Earth Angel clinic, and then she's been helping with cleaning, here in the Rescue Center. Now, she'll be switching gears and helping in a different capacity. My goal? Simply to give me some breathing space!! I truly believe we have an awesome group of volunteers and people that are helping to run this Rescue Center!
Our room, the Cat's Corner Room, is now almost done. The final details will go up today. It's our way of doing spring cleaning--repainting. It's been many years since things have been painted. On to June's Room, which will be the butterfly room!
This Friday at 6 pm will start our next auction and will end at 6 pm on Saturday (FFRC time!). We will have a baby afghan and a beautiful cream, brown and green afghan.
Please remember to vote! I thank you for every vote that we receive. We have raised the margin just a tiny bit to .18% ahead of the second place team. The cats and I are grateful!
Never a dull moment here. Just got a phone call, wondering if I knew of someone missing two horses. Ummmm, yes, that would be us here. Georgia and Mercy got thru the side farm fence and went traveling. They came back peacefully!
Cutie has already begun her spring cleaning of the kittens here! (This pictures was taken last year.)
