Sunday, October 6

Fiona and Sammie left yesterday to begin their journey to reach their new mama, Faith! Her friend, Sandy picked them up and proceeded on their way to join up with Faith, Such excitement!

This coming week we will have more visitors. Courtney (calico mama) and her friend Carol will be arriving on Wednesday to adopt little Kwee and a friend. 

Remember this Saturday is our next Day Sale! We have lots of items available. Think Christmas presents too! The 13th at 2:00 is Paul's Memorial Service here at FFRC. Then on the 19th is our next surgery date. 

This morning, we removed the sutures that were in Paddy Purr's nose. I was so proud of him--he sat there and didn't squirm at all. Such a big boy! He deserved 10 kisses for that. His nose looks a little bit better--a bit less swollen.

We took in 3 new little kittens. Two boys and one girl. Two are brown tiger (boy/girl) and the third is a boy tiger with white toes  All 3 are so sweet. Diane and Penny have taken over their syringe-feeding while they've been here.

We had BOXES last night! Many thanks heading your way.
Ellen/furkitty & Pat/cathouze from FL--5 red flashlights, 9 LED flashlights, 8 smaller flashlights and batteries. We will be prepared!

If at any time I have missed a name, never hesitate to e-mail me. 

Today we moved the 6 kittens and their mama Viola to Cat's Corner Room. It's about twice as big and since the kittens are growing with lightning speed, they needed more room! They can toddle about now on pretty steady legs. They sure like to play! 

Those grey kittens are doing great. They are super ornery, especially in the mornings--always trying to foil my best laid plans to prepare breakfast! Dovie Girl loves people! Yes, she does. She will reach out to get attention! Every day at least twice, Asha will get on my desk and give me head butts. So very sweet. 

I have just in the last day been able to go onto facebook and read the entries about Paul. Feelings are still rather raw and open but reading your entries is very healing. On our website, fofrescue.org is a new memorial page for Paul. Please copy your pictures, posts, stories about Paul onto this page. At his memorial service, I will copy these and put onto a table among other items of Paul's. If you have any trouble entering your information, please let me know by e-mail. Thank you very much.

Oh what a beautiful girl--Asha.
