You know all those BOXES that we get from Amazon? Remember---if you go to our website at fofrescue.org and click on that Amazon button when you order anything (to FFRC, yourself or anyone!), FFRC gets a little kick back from it! For the month of August, we received $365.53! That's a great help!
We had an adoption yesterday! Our sweet Kukisi went to her new home with a wonderful mama that wants to have a lap cat. I think Kukisi will fill that need just fine! More adoptions coming up!
We also had an adoption the morning that I left for vacation--wonderful Buster! He went into a home where he is the only cat--he's able to be king of his own home!
We took on 2 new kittens that needed some extra help.
MAYA--torti female--so beautiful! She's 11 weeks old with a birthday of 7/24/17. She was born 10/9/17. Little Maya (pronounced My-Ah) was born outside, at a farmyard. She is a moderate CH kitten with lots of gumption! The lady that lived there made sure she received enough food but outside living is no place for this CH kitty. So....she's here at FFRC. She's a sweetie and loves everything---cushies, food, playing!
GRACIELLA--brown tiger--ever so sweet. She arrived at 7 weeks old. She was found by a family when she was about 3-4 weeks old, very sick. A wonderful thing happened---this family took her in to see Dr. Darcy! She's been under her treatment! Both of her eyes have been affected by a virus. One eye is totally blind. I believe she MIGHT have a tiny ray of vision in the other eye--time will tell. She was very thin upon finding her but she is doing much better now and loves her food.
Graciella and Maya have been bunking together the last couple of days and are good friends. They will progress up to the Main Area soon.
All is good here. Kittens are healthy. Cats are happy (and think the kittens are crazy!). Rhulani had a bit of a cold but is doing much better now and is zooming around like crazy! I love watching Aimee Crocker and Marilyn play together--they love to play chase, tackle and run some more games! They will seek each other out to play. Estelle has grown quite a bit--such a sweet tiger/slight torti girl. She loves to purr. Gia is wonderful, as always. She loves being out in Bella's Place/dog run. She will purr the second you pet her!
Mama Julianne and Nsuku are doing great. Their weights are good. All 9 kittens are doing good. There are two that are bit tiny so they are being supplemented with KMR. Both have already gained .5 to 1 ounce already. All are active, have their eyes open and are ever so cute. When each mama (individually) is on the floor in the back Thumper's Room, we put those kittens in the blue pool on the floor. They are switched back and forth often during the day. It won't be long though until they are able to scoot out of the pool---a couple are already trying it! No holds will be put on these kittens yet---we need them to be a bit bigger first.
The ABC kittens are still unspoken for. That just seems incredible to me---all are awesome, ever so sweet and super friendly. Oh.......and super ornery! I'm saying......if I had room for 4 kittens, they'd all be in my house! Such a wonderful group. Needs some homes for these special kitties.
Take care to everyone! In this Fall time, please double check for fleas. Their population is still building. Cats cannot get rid of these pesky bugs without help. Help those outside cats too--no fleas allowed! And remember........spaying and neutering---this is the real answer to the cat overpopulation problem.
