Friday, 2/19

Tomorrow is our surgery day. We are excited. It feels like “old times” from when we had our Earth Angel Spay/Neuter Clinic. We loved that clinic.  I just dug up info on it today. We opened it 2004 and closed it 2011.  Our vet had to pursue a full time job. We understood that.  In those years, we did over 11,000 spays and neuters. Very happy about being a part of that. Now……it’s time to continue doing as many spays/neuters as we can make happen. 

Tomorrow we have 8 spays and 18 neuters, plus we have our Sooty, Mittens and Mendy to do too (will be 1 neuter, 2 hernia repairs & 2 spays).  Check ins start at 7:30-8:30.  Check outs will be mid afternoon. 

And then the next date for spays/neuters will be our first Transport which is March 7.  In Sunday’s newspaper will be our first ad promoting our Voucher Spay/Neuter Program!  Very excited about this. And nervous too as I know the days are getting longer and cats will be going into heat.
We also have a few physicals we would like to slide in tomorrow while Dr. Darcy is here. That would be fore: Beaumont (recheck of his eyes), Bam (his first physical here), Vernon (just to see how he’s doing), Samson Wolf (have his megacolon checked) and Joline (have her kidneys rechecked).

We have thank yous to give! This Rescue Center is always so thankful!
Marcia S from MI—donation to be used where needed
Mich & Vern—donation for our spay/neuter program
Nona—8 electric bowls (more below)
Kerswill—donation for our spay/neuter program
Bellabell—donation to cover for a cake and goodies for our vol. Meeting on Sunday

We had an adoption yesterday! Our sweet boy Peymon was adopted by Mich and Vern. He is such an awesome kitten. Mich said he slept most of the way home.

Our “bowl collection”!  What is that?  Nona has been helping us by sending us electric bowls. We also have some coming now from Tigercat.  You see, we have many places outside that has waterbowls—Barnies, Covies, Porchies, Firecats. On the brrry cold days, the can food also freezes quickly. So, we can put that can food in an electric bowl and presto, it doesn’t freeze!  Also the dry cat food has water in it and when it is very cold, the cats simply don’t eat it. Put it in an electric bowl so it tastes better and they eat it! So, we are so appreciative of these electric bowls!  Thanks for your help!

Check out our Petfinders!  (petfinder.com/petdetail/34237605)   We’ve been also busy getting that all the way updated. We’ve added more cats, deleted those that are adopted and added lots more pictures!  Also keep checking on our website at fofrescue.org.  We are still updating that as well.  Lots of new things!

Bam is cruising about here—he’s really becoming more at ease. I was just told recently from his past mama that he had had a Lion Cut. She said his fur will grow out much longer. He’s a handsome boy. Mittens and Mendy are also out and about now. They seem quite comfortable and are playing and making friends. Both of them purrs very easily. Felicity is here in the office with me—she is becoming such a playful girl. Love watching her run after a toy! We’ve had a couple windows opened
