You probably already know, but Derecho would like this info to be repeated! Today starts the hunt for the Valentine's Queen and King! Here are his words and story: The inside cats want to have an election! This would be an election of the first Valentine King & Queen, amongst the inside cats. The bills are accumulating almost as fast as the snow! The kitties want to bring you a day filled with Love & Hearts. I understand they feel bad about not being able to have a job to “earn their keep”. So…..they’ve come up with this idea—a Valentine Queen and King! All week the cats have been primping and beautifying themselves! They would like our cat friends to vote---$5 a ticket. It’s simple---send a check or go to our website at fofrescue.org and click on the PayPal link. You can vote ($5 a vote) as many times as you’d like! You can put your vote(s) all on 1 cat or as many as you want. This event starts Sunday and ends at 9 am Weds. Then we (the cat’s helpers), will count the votes and determine which female and male has the highest votes. They will have a beautifully decorated Valentine photo shot done, complete with their crowns! Anyone who put a vote on the queen or/and king, will get a Sprocket picture sent to them plus a small glass bottle with fur from the queen and king (a real treasure to keep forever!). The person who has placed the most votes will get a tshirt with this special photo on it (you will be able to tell us the size). The winning royalty will be presented to our cam at 4:00 on Weds.—Valentine’s Day. Any BOXES can be opened after their presentation! So......now, we know what those rascally cats have been planning all week! Who will be the queen and king?!!
Alert! Alert!! Donnajb has graciously donated a $100 gift certificate to the person who puts in for the most overall votes (doesn't necessarily have to be the king or queen votes). This certificate can be applied to PawMart, a fun-raiser or a flash sale!
We had BOXES Friday afternoon! A jillion thanks---and that's alot of thank yous!

We had an adoption yesterday! John went to his new home! He's been on hold for this special family for a while but we needed to wait until their move to their new house was complete! This family loved him from the beginning! And he has a really sweet little girl to call his own!
Sprite is doing so much better. She is indeed shy of people, but we will work all that out later. Her abrasions are healing and she is gaining weight!
Wendy is also finally starting to show progress. She is eating a bit on her own now. And her body temperature is steady too. She's such a pretty girl. Hoping she will be out of her condo pen soon to play with the other kittens.
We took in a new cat--a big orange fella! His name is Scotia. He's 16 months old, with a birthday of Nov. 14, 2016. He had taken up shelter on a porch of a family that wasn't too happy of having him there and let that be known. A wonderful friend saw him and brought him to FFRC. He was rather dirty and didn't mind his bubble bath at all. After removing many mats and burrs, we've realized he is such a handsome boy! Welcome, Scotia!
The surgery appointment on Friday went well. Bloom and Brielle were spayed with no problems at all. Coralie had her dental--7 teeth were removed (6 minors & 1 major). She's doing great and can now flash her pearly whites at us.
We now have the Navien tankless water heater in place! They came yesterday and made a quick adjustment and now all is well. Hot water for everyone, every time! We love it!
This coming Saturday is our FFRC spay/neuter day. Our list for spays/neuters is growing but we still want to be able to do some public neuters as well.
We had a full covering of ice this morning---just to prove it's still winter time. We had quite a bit of snow on Friday but it is already compacting down. 37 days until Spring!
