Tomorrow is Friday--the day some of our precious Persian babies start their new lives in their own homes. I'm glad we kept them one extra week---has made a big difference in them. They've all gained a few more ounces. They are now 13 weeks old.  We also have other adoptions coming up too.

And another awesome 2017 FFRC Adoption video--Part 3.  Production by FFRC Captures and Captions, Directed by Derecho. Many thanks too to Justme and SonJa for helping Derecho.  If you enjoy this video, please be sure to "like" it.  https://youtu.be/V-GLe0zNt9o

I would like to send a big thank you to the friends and family of Jeff Ford for their memorial donations to FFRC. He passed away just a couple weeks ago. He and his wife love cats and have visited FFRC.  These donations go toward the care of the cats. 

Hitch---such a great kitten. He was adopted recently and has already made himself at home. "He is such a sweet fun boy and we just LOVE him to pieces". And he found a spot in their Christmas tree to play in! Remember how he loved getting into our big cheeseball containers?  They got him a smaller size and he still tries to squeeze in! He's a happy boy.

Tuesday is our HumaneOhio surgery date. It's a full schedule. This will be our last spay/neuter date for 2017.  And then........we start all over again!

We have 2 new kittens.  Jericho and Jester, both boys, found on a town road all by themselves. They are 10 weeks old with a birthday of 10/3/17.  They arrived 12/12. Jericho is a short hair grey and Jester is a long hair grey. Both are very sweet and are excited about coming up to the Main Area soon.  Won't be much longer. They've both been tested, distemper & bordetella vaccine done, wormed, bathed, ears cleaned and flea prevention applied. They arrived with fleas and a hungry belly but otherwise are fine and dandy.
