What a crazy week. Monday was very hard. We had a big leak in the Kitty Kabana. Haven't had this happen for a long time. We will be calling in for the repair of this when the weather is better. On Monday it poured and poured and poured some more. And the wind.....very strong. Our electric power went out for about 4 1/2 hours. Our Jenna (generator) kicked in right away, but then went down 2 hours of use. We called the company and they got it set up to start again, but by that time, the electric had come back on. They were here yesterday to service Jenna again and to figure out the problem. We think we know what happened so that shouldn't be a problem again. The farmyard was very wet--water standing all over. We got the drain unplugged so it was able to drain into the system that goes into the river.The river is up but no worries about flooding. Whew---what a day Monday was.
Cleo is perfectly happy now being in the Main Area. So is Abe. They both are content. Such good cats! Byron is all over the place. He's been going on all of the cat walks, really enjoying the views! Cecil is right now climbing 2 sets of Kuranda Towers--he's been on probably 12 of the "steps" and sure is doing a good job! Bella loves her poofs still. We've been putting a poof inside the Froggy Pool and it keeps it "up" so the kitties don't roll off of it.
We have big thanks to give! We had Envelopes yesterday afternoon. We were all set to do BOXES on Monday evening when we ended up with no lights. So........to help us get caught up a bit, we did Envelopes yesterday! We are grateful to you!

We have a few updates to give:
Hoot & Panda are doing great. Val has said they have fit right in with the other cats. Their pictures all look so very happy!
Marta is now called Noel. She's doing great in her new home. She has already fit in with their other cat. The kids absolutely love her. She naps with Dexter, the other cat too!
We've also heard from Shep's new family. He is doing awesome and has fit right in. The little 7 year old boy so loves Shep!
Another update--Shiloh and Byron (who came in together) will soon be adopted together! So happy about this.
Remember, if you're going to order from Amazon, go to our website and click on the Amazon button. FFRC gets money credit for your order! It's very simple. We just received October's funds which came to $418.73! Thank you for doing this.
We have 4 cats at the vets today. Everly and Elfie are already done--they were neutered. Merri and Lucy Ann are there for their dentals. Big thanks to Donna and Larry for transporting them there.
It's almost 2016! A wonderful year coming up. I wish for all of you a healthy and happy year. May you find great peace with your family and friends. Value your relationships. Life really is too short to not fully enjoy each day. And give your pets a big extra hug! Happy New Year!
