Thursday, October 31

Boo!  Happy Halloween!  Our wonderful black cats Arden, Bear, Dennis, Jemison, Remison, Poppy, Solee, Cashel, Big Al and Riley all say have a fun, safe day and keep those black cats inside where they are safe. 

Unless we hear different from Dr. Darcy, we are FINALLY done with all the antibiotics, the vaccines and wormer injections! I am glad, glad, glad! And so are the cats and kittens. It's been a very long treatment program. Right now, we have a very very healthy group of cats, for which I'm so thankful for.

First up for our FFRC Nation is a Holiday Surprise for FFRC….with Jacci’s blessing.
“At Christmas time, I know people enjoy giving gifts. But for myself, while I appreciate gifts, the Rescue Center needs them more than I do. I hope you understand--the kitties will appreciate this!” -- Jacci

Our goal is to stock up FFRC going into next year!
Can you believe it takes 20,000 cans of cat food a year!!!!
How about 10,000 lbs of Kitty litter?
…..and that is just two items.

So go to the site and sign up!

When you run into a moderator or an admin, please pause a second to say a big thanks to them--they spend many many hours a week helping FFRC!

The kittens and cats are doing great. Breakfast times are filled with high energy and very hungry tummies! The young kittens can't hardly wait to get their gruel. And the salmon---it's a free for all! Little Lorenzo has a special craving for it and he WILL get his share! Bella always gets her jar of baby food. Cutie lately has been going for a late breakfast--she prefers to sleep in a bit. Derecho and Lorenzo still get their jar lids full of baby food. Turtle and Faraday already have breakfast figured out and like their plates in a special spot! 

The latest on Jingies, Maurice and Snoops is good! I'm so very relieved. I'll keep monitoring these three though. Suzanna, one of the newly returned cats, is also doing great. She's a beauty. The cats are getting a major groom today. Judy S is here and beautify-ing them! 

Our three oldsters are doing good too. Ada Jane has her "meow" back again....at least for now! Magenta is still eating 10 times a day! Her thyroid is good, she's just a very small girl with a big appetite! Putter is awesome. He's been in the rescue center a couple times lately and has swatted a few of the kittens--that means that Putter is just fine!
