A special thanks to Sandra/straycatlady--she gifted to FFRC, a beautiful outside picture of Jonah for The House that Jonah Built. It's a picture of him in the middle, with the building name on top and at the bottom it says Est. 2015. It's just beautiful and I thank you for this. The poem that is being engraved will go beside it.
We had an adoption this morning! Nelson has a home. A lady came in, saw Nelson and that was it. Love at first sight. He was so sweet with her. She is home all the time and has much love and time to give him. She loves to groom cats and to play with them. I believe Nelson will be a happy boy!
I cannot even imagine how big 14 million is, but that’s how many total views FFRC has now. Just astounding! We are happy to share the cats and kittens with everyone!
Magic is doing wonderful. He continues to be strong, playful and fun. He and Trucker are eating most meals together.It is so tender to watch these two nap together. Warms the heart.
Today is our first dental. The appointment is for Suzanna. It is the beginning of the dentals. She’ll be minus a few teeth but will be smiling pretty Tomorrow is Olaf. Friday is for Roland and Kay Martina.
The Covies are out today! They are very happy to be back in the Cat's Cove! Yesterday, both sheds were moved to the 8 x 24 foot slab of concrete! They look great. Porchie Haven was given a big cleaning job. We've covered 2 panels at the top of the Cove and have 3 more to go. This will give much better protection for when it rains.
The Angel Garden and Albert's Garden has had some spring maintenance. The Angel Garden is so beautiful and is awaiting flowers under the care of Peggy S. Albert's Garden looks so nice and fresh. It too has an angel statue. It's actually comforting to me to visit these 2 gardens and see a remembrance of our kitties and cats.
Mama Clarissa is doing great. What a good mama. So relaxed. The 4 kittens look strong and healthy. And very very round! We are starting to encourage Clarissa to get on the floor of the back Thumper's Room to start stretching her legs and investigating. It's nice to give tummy rubs to those babies and they stretch their little legs out!
