Tis the day of Christmas and we are grateful for this blessed day. We are also grateful for our wonderful volunteers and all those that help/support FFRC in so many varied, different ways! You are appreciated. I wish for all of you to have a wonderful happy Merry Christmas.
The Main Area cats, Porchies and FireCats have had a special breakfast....roasted chicken along with special cans of food! It's been gobbled up! There are bags waiting to give to the grey barn cats, the big red barn cats and the Covies. New toys too have been passed out and special snackers galore! Thank you for helping us be able to extra treat these cats.
Tomorrow we are expecting 3 more adoptions. All will happen in the morning.
We had 2 more adoptions on Weds. Wigglez and Alphonz went to their new home together! So exciting to see these cats and kittens leaving for good homes!
Little Elfie is healing fast and is walking now without any limps. He's doing very good. Such a sweet little soul. He's making friends with others here in the Main Area.
We have the Barnie Bella up in the back Thumper's Room in a double condo pen. She arrived here a year ago with very bad eyes. With treatment, they improved. Remember she came with that large group of barn cats that were so loved. Recently her eyes have gotten much worse where she couldn't keep them open any longer. We are going full speed ahead with treatment but so far, they are resisting what we are doing. Have changed her antibiotics today so we hope this will help. She's a grey long hair girl with a big white chin. A real beauty that loves to purr. I'm sure she's missing her barn family, but she's content to be on blankies and cushies for right now. We call her B Bella since we have a Bella here in the Main Area.
We have thanks to give! We had BOXES on Weds. evening.
