Friday, Saturday and Sunday we had our concession fundraiser. Defiance has a major dance recital and we do the concessions for it. I believe this is our 4th year to do this. It keeps us busy, but it's a lot of fun too. We made $920. What a wonderful event for us. I appreciate all the volunteers who took the time to be at the tables to help us.
The Cookbooks have arrived! How exciting. It took all day yesterday to pack, stuff, label and seal all the Cookbooks, but they are now ready to be sent to you! They will be on their way to you today! Thanks for your patience in receiving them. These are terrific books and are now available in our $28 and under sales for the Catathon.
Our $28 and under pre-sales are now taking place. You can place your pre-order, but keep in mind that the items won't be mailed until after the Catathon. The reason is that we can save on postage by combining all of your items into one mailing! Just go to fofrescue.org/cat3/ and check out what we are offering. Lots of items, all for $28 and under!
Please vote for FFRC! The Animal Rescue Site is having a short 3 week contest with the top 5 winners each receiving $1,000. This also is exciting! Go to: shelterchallenge.com We are currently in 4th place. Please....put those fingers to voting power again! You may vote once a day.

Isn't it an absolutely wonderful thing how we as humans are different--every single one of us. Well, it's the same thing in the cat world. No matter how many thousands of cats that come our way, not a one of them will be the same! It's a wonderful thing. But, because of that, it also brings a mass amount of cat personalities. We as humans don't always get along and neither do the cats. Can you really imagine what we are asking of these cats? To come live in a community of many many other cats, to get along, to "play nice". It's a lot to ask of the cats and residents here. For the most part, the cats do just fine. So, when you see a couple of the cats squabble, or someone smacks someone else, or another cat chase down another one, just relax. Unless it's something fierce (which one of the mods will call me), it's all a part of being alive. Please don't be judgemental or negative. We have built FFRC in the face of being positive!
The purple flower runneth over with kitties. I'm not sure what it is about the purple flower, but it always draws the kittens. Yesterday, I saw 7 kittens piled in at one time snoozing! On the floor was the red poof, with Bella in it and 2 kittens. I even saw Cutie bathing two kittens! Little Rufus was walking on the wheel yesterday with Paddy Cake sitting on the floor right beside the wheel, just watching. He was so patient. As soon as Rufus got off, on he went and zipped that wheel to full speed! I think he was showing off!
