This Fun-Raiser was especially important to FFRC. The tickets for the Kuranda Tower (which was bought by Jessie & Clark) will go towards many blankies that these 2 cats always provide for each adoption! The remainder of this fun-raiser will help us with the many needs of all the kittens and cats--leuk/fiv/heartworm tests, 3 different vaccines, wormers (3 different kinds), flea prevention and antibiotics. It's a tall list and this Fun-Raiser will be a huge help with this.

One of the hardest things for me to do is to pass on sad news. Most of you already know that Gingersnap has been struggling. He is the tan/white kitten of Nsuku's. Little Gingersnap has passed away. He's the little one that was born at only 2.5 ounces and we had to resuscitate him at birth. Things were ok the first couple of weeks and then he stopped gaining weight. We've been syringe feeding him for 2 weeks and at first he seemed to be doing better. Yesterday though, he lost another 1/2 ounce. He was so very tiny--just a little bit of 5.5 ounces and at 5 weeks of age, this just isn't enough. But.....Gingersnap knew he was loved and recognized that a hand meant petting and loving and food. I loved this little guy and so wanted him to survive. The rest of the litter is doing great.
We've had 5 adoptions in the last two days!
Klaus, BaileyO and Rhulani went to live with Donna our volunteer. While I was in NC, Rhulani was very sick and Donna fed him every two hours. Klaus was sooo little and so she fed him too! And BaileyO had 2 boo-boos that needed tending to. In the process, these 3 kittens bonded with Donna and so home they went with her!
Estelle & Billy Boots left this morning--brother and sister! These two are part of the Bruce litter that was found in the river, tied up in a bag. These two are the last of the Bruce litter---they've all found homes now! They went with a very nice young man who will be so very good to them!
And.......we've taken on a few more kittens.
Pipkin........brought in by a volunteer. This lttle girl had been living in a garden all by herself for 4-5 weeks. And she's only 5 weeks old, weight 1.05. Pipkin is a beautiful torti.
The "K" litter--this litter arrived from a friend of FFRC's. These kittens needed to move on so they could find a permanent home. Their mama is already scheduled to be spayed. We have 3 of the "K" litter--a brown tiger (male), grey tiger (female), grey tiger (male). So little, 5 1/2 weeks old. Weights are between 1.01 and 1.03. Names coming soon.
The "P" litter. This group of 4 needed some help. They came from a very sad situation and desperately needed to have a new start. We have 4 in this group: brown tiger (male), brown tiger (female, medium fur with a right eye scar), brown tiger (male) and a solid grey (female, with 1 eye). These kittens are 14 weeks old. From here on out, I wish them all a happy, healthy and clean way of living.
The other litters/kittens are all doing good. There's lots of kittens in the Main Area and we definitely have to do the "kitten shuffle". Lots of memory work with the names!
Thursday, Felicity and Hensley went to the vet's office for their dentals. They've both been a bit "under the weather" yesterday but today seems a bit better. Felicity had 12 teeth removed. Unfortunately, her lower jaw, the mandible was fractured. This rarely happens during a dental and teeth extraction. She will be fine--she has her lower jaw wired with that little button on her lower chin. It'll heal just fine and we'll remove that wire in about 3 weeks. Hensley had 5 teeth extractions. Because Hensley is Hensley and meds react with him, he's been very very sleepy the last two days. We've stopped his soreness meds and he should be up and about very soon. We fed him this morning with a syringe but told him not to get too use to this!
On Tuesday, the 24th, we have the HumaneOhio surgery date with a full schedule.
On Friday, the 27th, we have Farrah and Paddy Purr scheduled for their dentals.
On Saturday, the 28th, we have our FFRC surgery day---will be a very full schedule.
On Tuesday, the 31st, Zelda is scheduled to have her inguinal hernia repaired. She's excited---I've promised her special snackers from the desk drawer.
A busy place, but peaceful and filled with lots of cats and kittens that love attention. Have a wonderful weekend.
