Gallant received his last laser treatment at Dr. P's yesterday. We're all impressed with this healing. He is just an excellent cat. During his treatment, he dozed off! Nothing fazes him!
We have some fantastic news. An anonymous donor has made a donation for FFRC to purchase OUR VERY OWN LASER EQUIPMENT! I am thrilled beyond words and utterly grateful. This means we can help healing in many directions--everything but cancer cells. The laser treatments enhance healing. Because of this purchase and talking to us and our vet's office about Gallant's progress, the company will sell both our vet's office and us this equipment, brand new, at a reduced cost, with a full 5 year warranty. To our anonymous donor--I am so so grateful. You've made it possible to help alot of cats here at FFRC.
Heaven also went to the vet's office yesterday. Four different areas of tissue were taken for biophys. We won't know the full report until Tuesday. I do feel the need to tell you though, that both vets feel this is a fast paced cancer. We are already seeing a progress of this deterioration on the face. But, she's so so happy, eating great, is in no discomfort and is enjoying herself. She loves to be held and pampered, which of course we are doing. We give, she takes, she gives, we take. It's a great combo and we love it! For as long as we have Heaven with us, we will show her tons of love.
Today is the Day Sale! 9:00 right there on the webkittycam. We'll see you there with lots to show you. Thanks for your support!
The construction guys were here yesterday again. Doors went on, roof shingled and the house-wrap put on. Next week the furnace guys will be here to put in the duct work. So exciting. We have great plans for these two rooms!
I talked to Badu's mama yesterday--all is well and I'm so relieved. She sprawls out on the table, has made the back of the couch her bird-watching zone, lays beside her mama while watching tv and sounds like she's very happy.

We received our PetFinder's Report. The top 12 cats viewed were: Maui, Badu, Zelda, OCtavia, County, Goodness, Farrah, Darily, MaCallan, Cypress.
We took in a new mama cat and 3 kittens yesterday. The kittens are 5 weeks old--2 whites, 1 torti. Mama is also a white cat. All 4 of them are sweet and friendly. They will be staying in Thumper's Room for a while do to a skin condition, but already under treatment. All will be fine. We will show them again on the cam when we do a tour!
We have officially made 2 cats here Resident Cats. Farrah and Kiara have joined the ranks of being permanent FFRC cats. The reason is simple. They both have been here a number of years. Farrah's seizures and emotional attachment here has made it where people pass her over. We won't, as we love her to pieces. She will always be Farrah FFRC now. Kiarra has been adopted three times, but all three times was brought back here due to unbearably saddness. She would cry, moan and hide. She frightens easily at noises. I feel strongly that Kiara has her heart here at the rescue center and is now Kiarra FFRC. We will love them both forever.
Please remember to vote! We're still in #1, but it's close! We have 22 more voting days left.
How cute is this?!
