Simply amazing and so welcome to receive. FFRC is so grateful for our FFRCNation of friends!

Today is our Pet Supply PLUS event.  We will be at the store from 11:00 to 1:00.  Thanks to Mary Braid who helped update our Event Tub of information. And thanks to Elizabeth and Tracie for their willingness to be at the store! 

I need to apologize for a mistake in the last blog.  We are not losing the Amazon revenue. We are though losing the Ustream revenue. I'm so sorry about that error.

Emma Jean is taking great care of the 4 babies. And today I saw a couple eyes looking at me! Their eyes are indeed opening. This is always exciting to see!

We have more thanks to give:
Jakesmeowmy--donation to FFRC
Shannan Ward--donation to FFRC
Brad B from OH--donation to FFRC
Caitlin O'T--donation to FFRC
Donna B in GA--donation to FFRC, for Queen Coralie and Spiker
Gusti--donation for Neve and her sister Nedda

17 days to Spring!  We're ready!  I found the oddest thing yesterday---a gold coin.  It was in a pile of buff colored fur.  I have a feeling something is going on here in the Rescue Center. Those cats........they're always thinking of something!  Have a really nice weekend!
