Thanksgiving is over and boy, was I full! Full of delicious food and full of thanks for so so many things, including family, friends, volunteers, FFRC and our wonderful FFRCNation friends!

This Raffle starts on Thursday, 12/3 and ends Monday at 9 am. That night we will have BOXES at 5:30 with the Raffle at 6 pm. We were afraid we were going to have to have the top 4 items just in the continental USA due to big international shipping charges. BUT..........we have received wonderful news. If the person's name that is drawn is outside the USA, we now have an anonymous donor to cover the shipping costs! Hooray......everyone can participate! Thank you so so much, Anonymous Friend! This Raffle will go towards our December fuel propane bill, our 2 major medical companies and our cat litter bill. Whatever we make, will be divided between these 4 companies! Let's have some fun here! Plus there's close to 25 consolation prizes....wow!
Updates:
Zeke--my inside cat. His mouth biopsy has come back no cancer! But high bacteria count, so he's now on antibiotics and has begun to eat a little better!
We now have 6 kittens in the back Thumper's Room (Squigglez, Wigglez, Scoop, Marja, Joop and Jun. 3 of these had a cold but all are on antibiotics. All are now eating better and playing like crazy!
Jahzara--doing better! He's now eating better and is feeling better. Still in quarantine. Such a wonderful kitten. Still on all his meds.
Sherwood--doing a little bit better. It's the first I've been able to say this! He's eating somewhat--sometimes yes, sometimes no. But, he has a better "look about him" and we're hoping for a full recovery. If he's not a LOT better by Monday, we will do another blood panel on him for comparison. Still on all of his meds.
Sindile--what a nut! He's one busy boy now. Yes, he still stumbles, but his energy level is good, his appetite is good and he's a happy, energetic boy! He is now off all of his meds.
Enjoy this weekend! It's actually warm here! The weather has been surprising. The cats and kittens are doing great. Kittens are so fun and silly and playful. Love these cats! Take care.
