$295 for fish/chicken eating deal! Yes, that's right! At BOXES last night, we had a fun time. We received some treats for the cats but they are good for human consumption too! So, upon a "I dare you", we did! We had chicken and dried sardines and earned $295 for FFRC! Thanks for joining in on the fun!
We took in a new cat yesterday. A black cat with a few white specks here and there, about a year old. Her name is Chandini. Unfortunately it looks like her front paw has been in a trap. We got her started on pain meds and antibiotics right away and called the vets. They were able to get her up today so she's already been transported there. A probable amputation will happen, but we'll know more later--sometimes they can work magic there! We'll keep you posted.
Our little Miss Eltoe is still eating today. She actually has a tiny tiny tummy on her today! She loves chicken! She likes to sleep on the cat tower by my desk. And I like watching her!
We had BOXES last night (Thursday)! Many many grateful thanks to you all!

Jackson and August are wonderful. They both can purr and both love to have their chins rubbed. You can tell they are very much dependent on one another. I even saw them both in the litterbox at one time! They are both eating good and are relaxing more each day. Remember when Jersey and Merri first came home? How worried they were? And now look at them!!
Dovie girl is right here by my desk. I love how she looks at us and does the slow blink--a kitty kiss for sure! Miss Marti loves to sleep inside the clear plastic jugs. Emma Jo is getting braver every day and so friendly. When she first came in, she was a bit shy but not any more. Camvie did her morning "trick" again today--a quick nose lick then a little love bite. Then she purrs! What a sweetie!
Our newbie, DeLeon, is doing better too. His left ear is terribly infected but we're working on it a couple times a day. His tummy is definately the "ffrc tum" that we like! He's a big big eater for such a little boy. His frostbite/frosted areas are healing. Such a happy kitten. When he starts walking towards you, he drops and rolls!
Even though it's raining today, we opened the door to Kitty City for the Covies to do a RunAbout. They are happy, happy! They're dodging the water drops! Leonard who is now a Covie is doing great. He's fit right into the Covie gang!
