We took in two new tiny little kittens yesterday. One of our volunteer's, Jackie S, brought them in. They were found, all alone, in the middle of a very rural road. One is black/white and the other is a muted torti. Very very cute and ever so sweet. Both are little girl kittens and quite the snugglebugs. They are getting syringe fed but they also are eating a tad bit by themselves. No names yet, but will use something off the Catathon names.
FFRC was interviewed for a local monthly magazine today. I believe it'll be out in October. The theme is all about spaying and neutering. A few of the kittens had their pictures taken--they smiled for the camera.
We now have three Kuranda towers with wheels on them! It's ever so nice, as it sure makes it easier to clean under them. Roll them out, sweep/mop, roll them back in! No more lifting.
We're getting ready for the next Day Sale! All items (except the cat nip pads and the leggydews) will be items that are not in our website store! So, look for some interesting things! It starts at 11:00 am. It's totally done on the cam chat, so be sure you're signed in if you think you are interested. Payments can be by check or money order or PayPal. The ustream channel has been so much better lately, but in between the lots of items that we'll show you, remember to refresh often!

Zelda also wrote her very own letter to me, asking to be adopted. She also included a check to FFRC for an adoption fee. This is all money made by Zelda for Box sitting. If she is not to be adopted by myself, her check is to be used for FFRC. I've put a lot of thought into this. You all know that I love Zelda to pieces. But, I do still feel she might be able to find a home "out there". She's one of the nicest, most loviest cats anywhere. I think we'll give this some more time and see what happens. Wouldn't it be great to see her on her very own couch in her own home?!! Time will tell what will happen with Zelda and in the meantime, let's keep all fingers/paws crossed for her! I'll put her check in a safe spot for her!
Ming loves catnip toys! Ellen and Pat left him a catnip filled sock. He plays with it and tosses it up into the air and tries to catch it. It's so very nice to see him actually playing! He's a wonder-boy.
I am usually thinking on the upside of things, but I do want to let you all know that our dear sweet Emaline is not feeling so good these last 2 days. It's only been 5 days since her last injection and it's just not holding for her. Today, we started her on a medication to help with any discomfort until I get to talk to our vet again. She's getting lots of love, kisses and laptime. I also tell her, she's my velcro girl!
Archer, Kenco and Theo are having a very serious race. They start in the Kabana Room, race into the front office and fling themselves onto the climbing pole. When someone reaches the top, that kitten starts scooting downward, so they all have to go down then. Back into the Kabana Room again to start over! I love to watch their thinking out these games that they do!
Sheriff Putter says: "Being kind is more important than being important"! How so true. What a wise cat he is!
Kukster looking so cute in his bow-tie!
