It's been a kitty circus around here. To help the kitties socialize with the other cats and kittens, we've been grouping them together for playtime! Twice today already, they've had mass group time! This also starts to build their immune systems up. As you probably know, when kittens are about 5-6 weeks old is when their immune systems from their mamas, start to decline. So, we will build it up by exposure. They will also soon start their vaccination protocols. All have already received their Bordetella vaccs. Their little tummies are all round. Eyes are bright and clear, their activity levels are high. Such nice kitties that will grow up to be friendly adults!

You know all those ads that you see on our cam for kittycam? I know they can be annoying. But, think of it this way---they bring $$ in to FFRC! And for the month of March, we received $1,638.59----just for those ads! wow---I'm thrilled! This makes it easier to put up with those ads--just think of them as dollar signs!!
More work is being done on the floor of The House that Jonah Built. It looks so nice! I'm estimating a week from Thursday is the official "done" date! The Covies and Porchies are already enjoying the playground. The 29th is the date for Jessie's dental surgery. She too will need some extractions. We have her on antibiotics right now, in preparation of this. Tomasina is doing good. We keep doing "things" to stimulate her--changing her location, petting, talking to her. Ada Jane has been sleeping most of the day today. She looks so so comfortable in her wicker bed, all snugged up with cushie blankies around her.
You all have a great day. It's taken me forever today to get this done........and it's all the kitties fault! I keep leaving the desk to go watch them! A great way to spend the day.
Next blog we have to go over kitty names!!
