Jones has the honor of Court Jester!
All in all, it was great fun. I was very happy to see so many individual votes---including many new folks! We had a total of 1146 votes which comes to $5730. That is a whopper amount but then....the Bumper-Uppers did even more!
Many thanks to those Bumper-Uppers---Joco, Nuthatches, Donnajb, Debbiedear, AnnieinUK, Bellabell, Contessa, Sissyjeanette, Mich & Vern and a couple anonymous friends. All these bumps made our new total $6600. Isn't that just amazing. Sometimes I feel so inadequate in how to say thanks. So, as part of my thanks, I will be passing out even more pets and hugs to the cats---all for you all. Steve will be sitting down tonight and getting those bills paid! Such a good feeling. I thank each and everyone of you.
The sprocket pictures are being made already and the fur is being collected from Derecho and Coralie for their little bottle fillups! (we actually save much of the fur from individual cats when the grooming is done--so we have some stock already from Derecho and Coralie) These will be arriving in the mail to all those who voted for them! Congrats!
We had BOXES directly after the crowning of Derecho and Coralie. Boxes just coming and coming these last two days--they filled up the PawMart room! Quite amazing. Pleae always know I am so grateful for each and every item that is donated to FFRC.

We took in another cat yesterday. She was found by Connie D, in the middle of the road right in front of the driveway. I'm quite sure someone simply dumped her off. Sure wish these things didn't happen--she could've been hit by a car. Anyway--she's a lovely cat. Young adult (no birth date yet). But her name is Fenella--a pretty name for a pretty cat. She's a long hair torti. Dr. Darcy will see her Saturday.
This Saturday is our FFRC spay/neuter day. We have these cats scheduled for their spays: Whitney, Annetta, Esta, Bambi, Fenella. We also have Nrairbi coming back to have his tail tip checked--it seems to have been injured at one time. Also one of the Persian babies will come to have her nose checked.
We also have 10 male cats coming in from the public for neutering.
We have more thanks to give too:
Lynne W--donation to FFRC
Pamela C--donation to FFRC
Phil & Judy L--donation to FFRC
Charlotte/need to retire--donation to FFRC
Love these Giggles video! Another one is out and it's special for Valentine's Day! Enjoy this one--- https://youtu.be/ZZD9yXwbKGA Directed by Derecho. Please click the like/thumbs up button on youtube as it helps generate more $$ for FFRC.
As of the end of March, FFRC will lose the ad revenue that we received from everyone watching the ads. We simply received a message from ustream telling us of this. "We would like to inform you that as of 31th of March 2018, Ustream, an IBM Company, will terminate its advertising revenue-share Partner Program, ceasing the sharing of advertising revenue with its broadcasters" This will be a loss of income to FFRC. I thank you all now for having the patience of watching all the ads on ustream for the benefit of FFRC.
We will have a few adoptions on Sunday! More info as I know more details. Have a wonderful day!
