Surgery day for FFRC yesterday--was a rather intense day with lots of changes. But that's ok--afterall, it's all about the cats and kittens.

We did 9 males and 6 females.  This brings our total count for 2017 spays/neuters to 879.  It breaks down to 522 spays and 357 males.   

The SPAYS we did were:
Marshmellow, Mally, Moana, Ina, Pipkin, Masana

The NEUTERS we did were:
Shalimar, Arvin, Tindle, Snowball, Snowy, Torgo, Toto, John and another male from the public. 

We ended up not neutering Gene--he's got a bit of a cold. He's doing much better this morning. His energy level is up as is his appetite. And we also scratched a few spays---just didn't feel comfortable with their weights and their having to endure the anesthetic.  These drugs are powerful, the surgeries are elective, nothing that HAS to be done at that moment. So, we decided on the side of caution and postponed a few surgeries. We'll get them done soon enough.

Many thanks to Gusti for providing the drinks for our surgery day and to Joyce D for providing our lunch of pizzas

In addition, the Persian kitten's adoptions will happen next weekend instead of today. Dr. Darcy and I both feel more comfortable giving them one additional week for recovery and growing.  

We have thanks to give! FFRC always has a grateful heart!
