We have names now!  The mama and her 5 kittens that were dropped off are now named.  The 5 kittens have joined the persian babies.  Good for all 3 of these litters and for the Persian mamas to intermingle with others. We have mama cat in front Thumper's Room--she is fine without her "kids".  Actually, she is not happy about the presence of the other cats and is hanging at the door.  I have a feeling she's been an outside cat--we shall see how/if she acclimates to being inside
Mitz--mama, white, was spayed 12/5 at HumaneOhio
Snowball--male, all white, 3 grey splotches on forehead
Snowy--male, all white, 2 grey splotches on forehead
Tindle--male, grey/slate
Torgo--male, grey tiger/white, dark nose
Toto--male, grey tiger/white, white nose
They arrived on 12/4.  All are nice and are becoming very "people-fied". They sure are enjoying playing with the Persian babies.  The names above are all from the Name a Cat List.

We had BOXES last night too.  I truly am grateful for the support give to FFRC.  We would not/could not manage what we do without all of this awesome help.

Tomorrow is our FFRC surgery day.  Tentatively, we have these cats scheduled:
MALES--Shalimar, Arvin, Snowball, Snowy, Tindle, Torgo, Toto, John, Gene and a male from a volunteer
FEMALES--Marshmellow, Mally, Paris, Lynn, Purrlisa, Moana, Ina, Pipkin, Rita, Masana

Keep in mind, we may not do all of the Persians. This will be decided Saturday morning. 

Many many thanks to an anonymous friend for the condo unit that arrived yesterday afternoon.  It can hold 4 cats, has 3 levels--the top 2 are 2 pens each level--can make it so the top 2 become 1 larger pen.  The bottom level can hold towels, plates, food, spoons, Clorox wipes, etc.  We have it in the Purple Office and it will have many uses.  There are times when we have dearly needed extra holding areas, especially the last few months since our back Thumper's Room has been tied up with babies!  Sometimes when we are working on a whole litter of kittens, it's nice to have a place to put them for their treatments. Or sometimes a kitten needs quiet feeding times. Also can be used for post-op wake up time. So many uses! 

Remember the Sardine Slurping Contest is Sunday at 1:00.  May the best sardine eater win!  Lots of big prizes and consolation prizes too, at the end! 

Alright, alright.......I know some of you are wondering---who is that Gene that is on the surgery list.  Something happened--a real medical mystery.  It's called "Imogene" is "Oh My It's GENE".  Yep--one of those astounding medical mysteries---Gene goes on the boys list!  Here's what happened.  A visitor was holding Imogene and as usual, she climbed up on the shoulder. Her hiney was facing me and I saw "things" that were not girl related!  Could've knocked me over with a feather!  Gene is quite happy being a wonderful little boy! 

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
