A common misconception is that people will not value reduced services. We find this couldn’t be further from the truth. Once you’re in the community and start meeting and listening to pet owners, you know that most people care about their pets and are extremely appreciative to receive services and resources.
FFRC wants to continue offering low cost spays and neuters. This Saturday we are offering neuters. So far we have 37 scheduled. We are hoping for 100% attendance. We also offer Vouchers--these are worth $20 each. If a person wants to make their own appointment with HumaneOhio, they can take advantage of FFRC providing a $20 voucher. So those outside cats are only $7 and the inside cats are only $25, after the Voucher.
If you are interested in helping FFRC continue these low costs, please help by a donation. You can simply send a check or go thru PayPal and earmark it for low cost spays/neuters. We will do the rest and get more surgeries going. We appreciate this as by spaying and neutering is truly the answer to the overpopulation problem.

We had an adoption yesterday! Avalanche went to his new home. He will have a new very bet friend--a sweet young girl that was very excited to have him as her own.
I received a phone call about Wendy, Taia and Shirley Mae. All are doing good and all 3 are going up and down the stairs to visit everyone in the family!
This past week, we saw 3 of the baby persians--Mally, Shalimar and KiKi (new name). They all 3 look awesome and are so very loved.
Yesterday was designated as Get Catathon Organized! We have Kitty City all ready and set up to be "Central Catathon"! Soon, I will do a list of things we could use some help with! The incoming items for Catathon are being received here with much appreciation!
Annetta is feeling so much better! It's amazing--she's been playing, running and just having some fun. It's so nice to see this. Even with the soreness meds she was receiving, that eye must have still been uncomfortable. She'll get her sutures out next week (she helped us a bit though and removed one of them herself).
Jillian's kittens are doing good. Nice round tummies. Emma Jane's kittens are also doing good. Every once in a while, I see they are dipping into the gruel on the plates! The grey baby litter is teaching them how to do it! Emma Jane is very kind to all the kittens on the floor.
Take care, have a great day. Think about those spays/neuters. Now is the time for us to be the most effective--before the warmer weather really gets here and more cats go into heat. Nearly 100% of unspayed female cats outside, WILL get pregnant. Kittens born in the spring will have kittens in the fall. And yes, cats within litters will breed each other. YOU can help make a difference. Thank you.
