Tomorrow is our Day Sale starting at 10:00 am (FFRC time). Oh my goodness, we have a lot of items to show you. I've a feeling this sale will run a bit long! Please be patient with us here at the rescue center and the mods and with one another. Remember, ustream is always about 20 seconds behind FFRC. Iphones, Ipads, tablets can be 35 seconds or more behind. So, we shall all do our best and hang in there together! During the Day Sale, while items are being sold, the chat will be kept to those notes only--no chit chat during that time as it makes it hard for the mods to pick out the names of people wanting things. We'll explain it all in the morning and do a quick, simple easy round first so it's all clear!
I want to say a special thanks to our volunteers for their super patience and compassion especially in these last 4 weeks. Many things have happened and we've all been out of our normal schedules. But, they are wonderful and just go with the flow. I thank each and every one of you.
We had an adoption yesterday! Our sweet little Kwee left with her new mama Courtney and friend to start her new homelife in Maine. They arrived home last night safe and sound and Kwee/Zoey is now a good traveler! Rosi and Toby are also in their new home and traveled just fine too.
Our new kitten Ganache is doing great. He's so little but can keep up with Walter. They seem to have a real bond with each other. So sweet to see. The 3 little brownies are doing great--Barky, Markie and Zarkey. They move as "one unit"! Where one goes, they all go. Volunteer Peggy S took them home for 2 nights to help out with them. They love her! Trusty is named appropriately. He will lay on his back forever, just to have his tummy rubbed.
Viola's litter is growing. I do believe little Carlton is doing better. There are days where he spends "just staring off in space" and not participating with the other kittens. But today, he seems to be playing much better now. He's so so sweet. They are growing and climbing and acting like bigger kittens. Won't be long until Viola will be going to her new home (to join Theo!).
Hard to believe in about 4 weeks we will need to move the Covies up to Kitty City for the winter. We will keep them in Cat's Cove for as long as possible, providing the weather is decent for them. Today is the day they get to cruise about the farmyard--they love it.
Take care everyone and see you at the Day Sale!
