Adoptions! We love these happenings especially when we feel that "extra good thing", knowing they're going into super homes!
Yesterday Zeek and Wells went into their new home. They will also have 2 girls that are super excited to bond with them. I've already seen pictures and the kittens look very happy! These are 2 more of Jillian's litter.
Earlier this week, we had 3 cats go to the same home. Tina, Charlie and Mandela--they knew each other as they had been sharing the back Thumper's Room. A family who had elderly cats lost the last one recently and was anxious to have some more cat friends! Since these 3 knew each other already, she chose them!
We've also heard about Giesela and Thane. Giesela is now called Sybil and Thane is now Simon. They settled in spendidly. They have been running around, wrestling, eating and napping. The new mama says these two kittens have her heart already.
We also took in and adopted out the same day, 2 long hair cats that have been in a home for almost 4 years. The owner is no longer able to care for them due to her health issues. We had already been made aware of this and so had this planned. This way, these two cats didn't have to adjust quickly to here and then move again. They have been called Kitty and Cat.
Yeah---SonJa has her descriptions done and Jen now has all the pictures done except for the Catathon's Fun-Raiser. That will be completed this weekend. Now, Vaun will do her magic and make all this fit into our website for your viewing pleasure! We'll keep you posted as to when this will happen.
We took on two new kittens.
Sherry--female, all black. This little sweetie was inside a pop machine. She got herself out but both back legs were sore for a day or two. Not anymore though--she's bopping around and enjoying all the toys! Her birthday is 4/16/18 and 6 weeks old upon arrival (5/27/18).
Bart--male, black/white. Poor boy--he was a HBC (hit by car). His rear right leg has a rather severe laceration in two places. Plus, he has several areas on him that have little tears and bruises. We soak his leg every day and apply his ointment followed by a dressing for a couple hours. He's been resting alot but has begun to play. He arrived 5/27/18 at 6 weeks old. His birthday is 4/15/18.
Update on Zorro--This little boy has now been with us for 9 days. He came in at 1 lb--just a little boy. The 2 areas on his leg where a string had been tied are still defined--you can still see the string marks. He is on antibiotics and soreness meds. He also gets several medicated soaks a day. After his soaks, he gets a dressing applied to hold in place the healing ointment. Today starts the big day of debriding this whole area--slowly, slowly. We had to wait until the skin "pocketed" which allows us to start removing some of the hardened skin. We are hoping the skin underneath will heal. This is all being done to try and save his leg. He's already growing, eating good and playing like a pro! I know there's been some concern that we could be doing more. Short of surgery, we are doing exactly what we are suppose to be doing. He is much too small for an anesthetic. All of our treatments here at FFRC are governed by our veterinarian.
We have some thanks to give:
Ju-in-ji--donation for our spay/neuter program
SonJa--donation to FFRC, in honor of Bill & Angie L
Janet M--donation to FFRC
Callisynne's kittens are doing great. All 7 of them are toddling about and starting to eat on their own. Both Wonder and Brinn are a tad underweight so they are being supplemented. These kittens are super sweet! It's so cute to see them tumbling about.
Today was beauty parlor day for Oliver, a Covie. He's had his bum and tummy shaved and brushed out nose to tail. He looks good!
Harvest is doing great. She is now in the Main Area all the time--no longer needing to go back to the Thumper's Rooms. She loves to be petted and have her chin rubbed. A very nice oldster.
Nyota is almost at the place where most of the burns are healed. We are planning on having her spayed on June 9th, here at FFRC.
Today at 4:00 is BOXES, followed by our Fun-Raiser and then Consolation Prizes! Come join the fun!
