Saturday is our FFRC spay/neuter day. We are hoping to get the Persian kittens done on this day, in addition to other FFRC cats. On Weds., we will be making up our surgery list and weighing those on the list. Very possible then for some of the Persian babies will start being adopted on Sunday.
Tomorrow, Tuesday is our HumaneOhio spay/neuter day. To help with their load, we are trying to keep our numbers to 25-30. We never know for sure until check ins are done. And then, check outs will be about 5:30 ish.
We have recently lost an oldster Porchie. Our sweet Mew has passed away. He arrived here on 4/1/504. He was 2 years old when he arrived. Mew was 15 when he passed. He was truly one of those extra great ones---asked for nothing but kindness, snackers and a big pet. He was everyone's friend and so loved basking in the sun. When we would sit under the shelterhouse, Mew was there for handouts--and of course, we always would indulge him. He is greatly missed. A really awesome cat. Thank you for loving him, even from afar.
We have 2 new kittens!
JOHN--black/white kitten, polydactyl all 4 feet, male. He is 14 weeks old with a birthday of 8/26/17. This little boy arrived very hungry. We had put him on the counter to do the check-over and he jumped into the sink to eat the crumbs in the dishdrainer. He's a happy boy and was found after a person had let the kitten outside. The man who John went to then brought him to FFRC. He came into the Main Area a bit early--snuck right thru the door! And immediately made 10 friends. What a sweetie boy.
ANNET--an all white female. She is 6 months old with a birthday of 6/1/17. This kitten is very underweight--weighing only 3.12. She was found in the middle of a very busy intersection here in Defiance--one of the busiest in our town. Annet could go no further and simply laid down right there in the middle of this intersection. A kind man saw her, stopped and rescued her. He then brought her to FFRC. She had many fleas/dander, very pale, dirty but friendly. Yesterday all she did was sleep--all clean and snugged on a heater. Today she is still resting but welcomes being petted and will come forward to the hand.
Do we like to have fun here at FFRC? sure do!
Do we like our Fun-Raisers? you bet!
Do we love SARDINES? YES!!
Here's the scoop! We have a new and different Fun-Raiser starting tomorrow! It's called Sardine Slurping! Yes, that is right--Sardine Slurping! Donnajb thinks she can eat more sardines than me. I tell her she is absolutely wrong---I can outdo her anytime in eating sardines. So......a contest is in the making! Come join the fun!
And remember........this is for fun, it's different, you can do tickets or not, but please do join us for the Sardine Slurping Day. Here's how it works---starting tomorrow until 9 am on Friday, you can do the tickets like always. $5 a ticket. You can put your ticket(s) on Donna or Jacci or both of us! You can do as many or few tickets as you like!
Tickets will go into 2 baskets with DONNA or JACCI on it---these will be on the sardine table on the big day. And then at 1:00, the Sardine Slurping begins! Whoever can eat the most sardine, the tickets for the winner will have a special drawing. Here's the winning items--tickets will randomly be drawn and placed with these items:
7 level Kuranda Bed
Sprocket cam & accesories
Depths of Change afghan by Rosemary 62 inch square
Shells & Waves afghan by Ellie G 42 x 65
OxGord Pet Carrier, large, green
Warped-de-dew blanket, 57 x 70
And then after we have those 6 winners drawn, ALL tickets will be combined into a container for LOTS of great Consolation Prizes!
Interested in knowing the rules? Here goes:
Only fully eaten cans of sardines count.
Only 1 can per person can be opened at a time.
An attendant will keep track of the can consumption.
If participant goes longer than 10 minutes without eating a sardine, contest is over.
If participant....what's the nice word for it---gets "sick", contest is over.
Sardine cans can be water or oil--preference is decided by the participant
If an open can looks "off", then that can can be rejected without a penalty.
Does not have to drink the juice of the cans.
If participant needs to take a mini walk in room, that is permissible but will have an attendant.
If participant needs to visit the bathroom, an attendant will stay close to the door!!
Ok---I think I've covered everything. The date is Sunday, December 10, starting at 1:00. Tickets go on sale starting tomorrow till 9:00 am on Friday. Be sure to put in a message if your tickets are for Jacci or Donna or if you are placing tickets for both (that is permissible!). The winning items are really nice! Good luck and may the best sardine eater win!
