It is done. A very long surgery day and now it's over and all are safe. That's the whole goal---safe surgeries! Dr. Darcy and Amber are superb and our pre and post surgery team is fantastic. Many thanks to them too--Lynnette, Sue B, Becky, Dawn E, Donnajb, Pabl and Mary Braid. A total wonderful group of people that help us accomplish such a day.
We did 25 surgeries! 15 males and 10 females. Here's the breakdown:
Males: Arlo, Brody, Clay, Coco, Billy Boots, Allman, Anchor, Storm, Smitty, Darzin, Valley, Valentine, Satori, Horace and 1 public male kitten
Females: Brenna, Betty Boots, Estelle, Denise, Shelly, Sheila, Gretl, Gudrid, DJ and 1 public female
Here's our grand 2017 total: We've done 327 females and 224 males making a total of 541! Our 2016 total at this same time was 354. We are striving to do more and more spays/neuters. Our next surgery date is this Friday with HumaneOhio!
You might notice that Kukisi was not spayed. Apparently her body didn't like the kind of drugs we used and her lungs were not fully inflating. So....her surgery was cancelled just for safety. We will get her scheduled soon though because she is spoken for. And different meds will be used. Even though we use meds here every single day for many different purposes, it's important to always remember---be cautious and be safe with them.
Our tshirt sale is still on! It runs to August 25. Check it out on facebook. The design is wonderful---it's Larissa's Harlequin cat. The shirt is in a really nice color--a dark teal. Sizes actually come in small to 5xl. For this sale, we are doing pre-sales! You can send a paypal at ffrcmoss@gmail.com. Prices are $20 with the 2xl to 5xl being $25.
Thanks to Jatcat for the Magic pom pom's---he's a happy boy!
Once again, we have taken on two new little kittens. They arrived at the door Friday evening, in a box, carried by a little boy. As you can guess, we are very full but.....it appears this little guy was told that he could not come home with these kittens. Apparently too, there was a dog involved that wanted to do harm to the kitties. So, we now have 2 more kittens.
Laverne--a calico with a bit of tigerness, white whisker pads.
Katmandu--a brown tiger with a white chin and white whisker pads
These names are from our Name a Cat list. They are 6 weeks old and their birthday is 7/7/17. Welcome home, little babies.
The two white persians, Nsuku and Julianne are doing good. They are now eating and sure enjoy being petted. We have opened their condo doors and they can now come out into the back Thumper's Room as they please. I would also like to let you know these two Persians are both pregnant and due sometime the middle of September. By that time, I hope they are fully acclimated to the Main Area. But, close to birthing time will probably go to the back Thumper's Room again.
All is good. Kittens are healthy. Cats are very happy. Let's enjoy this wonderful Sunday!
