Zelda is here by my desk--glaring at me. I just kisssed Kenco and told him that he and Archer are two more of my favorites. I think she heard me.

Yesterday at one sitting, I saw 14 cats on the window ledges in Kitty Kabana Room. They surely do love to look out of these low windows. Lots of action always going on outside. Toby is right now on a high window that he climbed up to. There's two bird feeders about 3 feet away from him.
This is Janet's last full day here. I have so enjoyed having her here at the Rescue Center. The cats too have enjoyed Janet's visit. Starting tomorrow she will begin a 3 week trip of Scotland!
Ming is doing better! His appetite is slowly picking up. He's also starting to connect with the litterbox better, in his room. He will knead when he's petted. A very different boy, but we're working on drawing him out and be a part of us. I think he'll "get it"!! He is so enjoying the TLC that he's receiving. And he sure loves his extra soft bed!
We took in a new cat yesterday. She is a long hair calico--a real beauty. This is one cat (as with many of them) that I so wish I knew what the history was. She is a young adult that appears to have been thru a rough time. She's very thin. She was so hungry when she arrived and has continued to eat all the can food we give her. You can actually feel the food in her tummy--she's that thin. The man that brought her had found her about a week ago. He's fed her, but cannot keep her. So, she is now here at FFRC. He said it appears to him that she may be blind. I am usually skeptical when people say that, but everything I've seen about her so far does indicate that she cannot see or has very limited sight. As we get to know her better, we'll "figure" her out. It looks as if both eyes have been damaged due to different reasons. We will have the vet take a look at her. She needs a beautiful name that will show she has much love within herself and a name that shows she can deal with the things she's been dealt with. I do believe her name is now Anna Marie.
Janet took this picture just last night in Kitty Kabana Room. The evening light was coming in thru the windows and the gang was enjoying the window shelves. Play action too going on!
