We took on a new kitten. His name is Zorro--he's a cute black/white kitten. He arrived at 5 weeks old with a birthday of 4/16/18. He was brought to FFRC after someone found him with his paw entangled in string. The string was very tight. His front right paw was very swollen and purple. Zorro is on antibiotics, soreness meds and multiple leg soaks a day. We are trying to save this leg. While we are always optimistic, we also know that this leg is rather "hard", not a good thing. He sure can play though and is such a happy boy. He loves to be held. He's only a one pounder so has a way to go before any surgery can be done. In the meantime, we keep working on him!
We also took in a past FFRC cat. Her name here was Harvest and was adopted as a kitten in 2005. She's been in the same home all these years and because of a family change, she needed to come back to FFRC. We welcome her. Such a sweetie. Her birthday is 10/10/05 so she is now 12 years old. She's been with the same family all this time and has never been outside. She has today taken a walk from the back Thumper's Room to the front Thumper's Room. She is very relaxed and probably will be in the Main Area soon. Harvest is a grey tiger & white.
Miracle is hanging in there. He has slowed his scheduled every two feedings down, so we are going more often, but in smaller amounts. He snuggles into the middle of the puddle of kittens so he's always nice and warm. And he latches on to Callisynne too for extra nutrition. Hoping this sweet baby gets stronger.
We had BOXES on Monday afternoon. I am very grateful to you all.

In the back room, we have several adult cats: Charlie, TIna, Mandela, Harvest and Nyota. I feel Harvest and Mandela will be coming up soon. Nyota is in the top two condo pens so she has plenty of room. Her feet are healing very nicely and I noticed this morning that a bit of fur is starting to grow back on her face. She still gets treatments twice daily. And I believe her singed fur is getting a bit softer!
Do you know how many days to Catathon? It's now 29 days! It's getting closer. SonJa and MK did a lot of the descriptions earlier this week. MK had to go back home but SonJa is carrying on! On Sunday, Jen comes to start taking pictures of everything. Then.....everything is sent in to Clay and Vaun and they start the process of entering all of this into our website. It's quite a process!
We have more thanks to give!

Callisynne's kittens are toddling about! They are still so so small but have much energy. Sometimes they get on their backs and have to wave and wave their feet until they can right themselves! They are all so very sweet and love being held.
Wow--when I walked in the door yesterday, I was met with 3 days of Boxes that had arrived! So we're not so rushed, we will be doing BOXES today at 2:00. Hope you can join us!
