The 4 Werlor kittens have packed their bags and left. Yep, that's right. They are on vacation. Yesterday, Peggy S had her 4 foster kittens here while she volunteered. When she packed up the 4 to take home again, the Werlor kittens looked big eyed and questioning. You see, the fostered kittens told the Werlor kittens all about the wonders of a home--and they wanted to experience it! So....off they went. Can you imagine the fun they are going to have?!! They will all 8 be back to stay next Thursday to stay.
Thanks to Michlyn and Vern--they visited yesterday and did a flash sale for us. I realize we've had several now this week, but they are a big help financially to FFRC. I thank you for your support. Items are already being packed and will be mailed out Monday! Thanks Michlyn and Vern for your friendship, your visit and lovings on the cats.
We are now almost a month since Thomas has had a seizure! That must feel so good to him. I'm happy for him. He's so good about taking his meds now--no fussing at all. Of course, it always ends with a kiss, so he doesn't mind the meds.
Daisy is becoming a pro at the Cat Go Round Wheel. It always makes me laugh when I see a baby kitten on the wheel, slowly walking and making it go around. The smaller kittens spent the night all together in the Cat's Corner Room last night. They have figured out how to get out the window door of June's Room, so in they all went to Cat's Corner Room.
We have labeled the litters--they are the Goldie litter, Jemima's litter, Dora's litter, Menard litter, Smallisha's litter, Peggy's foster litter, Werlor litter and then there's little Riika, a lone incoming baby. All are doing well and their vaccination protocol is being done.
We will have our next surgery date as May 31st, a Saturday. This will be a heavy surgery date as many of these kittens will have reached their 2 pound weight. Then they all go onto PetFinder's! A few are already on hold.
Starting Monday, we will run our next afghan raffle. We have 5 beautiful afghans picked out. They will go on facebook on Sunday to show you which ones. Raffles seem to be the most favorite way to go with these awesome afghans, so we will continue. For the Catathon, we have 5 afghans already picked out to auction for bids. As soon as you see the display on facebook, feel free to put your raffle wishes in. The drawing for these 5 afghans will be Weds. night at 6:00. So, that means BOXES will be at 5:30 pm.
Monday is our Advisory Board Meeting in the afternoon, mostly centered on the Catathon. Tuesday, weather permitting, the Shelter House will be erected! Very excited about this. The cats will like it too--I can already picture them stretched out in the shade on the picnic tables! They will join our visitors there for their picnics too, I'm sure of it!
We had BOXES flast night. I am so very appreciative.

Felicity has decided that playing with toys is quite fun. She frequently can be seen in the Kitty Kabana Room playing with catnip mice. What a change in her! Love her free spirit attitude! Jackson now struts all over the Rescue Center. Him shy? Not much anymore--such a pleasure to watch him. Alma has got to be the most determined cat I have ever ever met. She figures out what she wants to do and where she wants to go. She does it! It's quite amazing to watch this cat's enjoyment of her life. She's a happy camper. I know it's difficult to watch her flip around sometimes, but truly, she is doing awesome! Magenta is struggling a bit. We feed her whenever she wants and then we try again. She's getting hugs and kisses. We treasure this sweet cat. Freemont and Lorenzo are best buds. They even nap together!
FFRCNation! Many Countries, One Heart, One Mission, One Nation, FFRCFamilyNation. No one can do it all, but together we can accomplish so much. Every small act of kindness adds up to miracles.
