We had FFRC surgery today. A great day because that means more spays/neuters were done! We did 8 males and 7 spays. Of those, 1 male and 1 female were for FFRC friends cats. The rest were FFRC cats and kittens. Here's the list:
Females: Kikae, Boo Boo, Mary Jo, Shema Ann, Nsuku and Julianne.
Males: London, Alvin, Ario, Hitch, Kester, Kestrel, Klaus
All did just fine, including the 2 Persian mamas. Again, we had some of our FFRC volunteers here to help the cats/kittens recovery. They make sure they are toasty warm, their respirations are good and then feed them when they are awake. Such a comfort to have their help!
Our Grand Total now is......833 for 2017. This is made up of 492 females and 341 males.
A big thanks too to Gusti for providing pop, water and juice for today and to Joyce D for the pizza lunch.
Many of you already know, but our sweet Zoolove/Zooie has passed away. We fought a good fight for her but her body just couldn't do it. She went 3 weeks alone in the woods and arrived so emaciated and dehydrated. Her body just simply could not replenish itself. Such a very sad thing as this didn't have to happen. Dumping kittens or cats to fend for themselves is not the answer to the overpopulation problem. My comfort though is that I so know that Zooie knew she was loved. She enjoyed being held and petted and was such a sweetie. Her siblings here that were found much sooner than Zooie, spent time with her in her pen and bathed her and comforted her too. I thank you all for caring for her thru your prayers and good thoughts.
We have had many donations made in memory of Zooie and also for Mr. Purple. I would like to combine these donations and have been thinking of a purchase for FFRC that we need. I can let you know more later. But, I'd like to send my thanks for every Mr. Purple and Zooie donation sent in. This has meant so much to me and I know too, to our mod Purple.
The baby Persians are going to spend a night down on the floor tonight! They had a practice run of this a few nights ago and did just fine. However, only one mama can be down for the night. So, first thing in the morning, we will switch mamas. And that is ok---it's the beginning of grow-up time for the kittens. They are all doing great.
We had another adoption! Jacen was adopted today! He went into a home where he will be the only cat and will be thoroughly spoiled! Just what we want for our FFRC cats! He seemed to really like his new mama already and was very peaceful in his travel crate!
We also took in a new kitten yesterday. She's almost 7 weeks old. Her birthday is 10/1/17. Her name is Imogene, a Name a Cat name! This little girl has a ton of energy and sure likes to play. She was found as a day old kitten and raised by a lady who took very good care of her. However, she couldn't keep her as her own and so brought her to FFRC. Imogene has a teddybear that she really loves. She sleeps with this bear and carries it around in her mouth! It's so cute to watch her! Imogene is a grey tiger/white kitten with a left white ear tip.
Take care and have a wonderful Sunday. Know that you are appreciated by FFRC!
