This brought the Grand Total to $2,400!  Watch out bills.......we're going to get some paid!  Again, many thanks! 

It takes a whole lot of people to make our events be successful---ticket buyers, mods, admins, YOU, Marcia, Lynnette, the folks that donated the items....lots of great people! 

Remember, if you order your Amazon items thru our website at fofrescue.org FFRC gets a bit of funds from that!  We just received $276.76 for the March sales! That's like FREE money!  You can order FFRC items or personal items! 

We are having some good work being done on Zorro's leg.  Many parts of the leg is responding to the debridement of it. Time will tell as we continue to work on it.  Bart's leg too is showing signs of healing. Zorro, Bart and Sherry are good friends together. 

We had an adoption yesterday! Jilli went to her new home.......with my daughter Dawn. She and Grace have been waiting a long time for her. The first hug that Jilli gave Dawn got her her new home! I've already seen pictures and Jilli looks quite happy! 

We had a HumaneOhio spay/neuter day today! We sent up 37 cats and kittens. This broke down to 21 females and 16 males.  This also includes 2 of FFRC kittens--Drizzle and Sizzle.  This now brings our grand total to 468 spays/neuters for 2018 (264 spays/204 neuters).  For 2017, at the end of May we were at 351. 

Have a great day! Spiker says---Recognize the power of a purr--it can make you smile and improve your day.
