The girls that were spayed are: Livia, JoBella, Zoolove, Zurple, Prentyss, Chikandi and Crocus.
The boys that were neutered are: Dot, Kadu, Sabu, Bart, Rafiki, Teg, Bris, Tristan, Pogo and Rowdy.
It was decided to hold for the next surgery time for Cashew--his leg/foot is still in the "undecision slot". While it's healing beautifully, there is a certain amount of soreness to his foot. We will know better in August. In the meantime, he's doing terrific!
We also did a repair on the hernia of Sherry. She had had her spay/umbilical hernia repair done earlier last week at HO. It was an easy fix but did requuire anesthetic and surgical intervention. She's doing super.
All physicals were good on the surgery kittens. We did not do any physicals in the Main Area on the cats. None were due at this time.

The newest kitten Rafiki is doing great. At first he wasn't so sure what all these other kittens were about but he's doing so much better now and is beginning to play with them! He's a purr kitten. I love it when so many of these kittens just purr, even simply by looking at them!
We had an adoption! Sweet Batman went home with our volunteer Mary Braid. A super wonderful kitten that loves everyone! I'm sure he's already fit right in and is a happy boy!
RIght now, here in the purple office, there are 7 kittens playing with peacock feathers. They sure know how to have fun. Brinn and Wonder are doing fantastic. They had a rough start but both are making up for that now. I told them both that it's like they grow from night time to morning time! Both are doing great and are here playing too!
Camvie sure loves the Bella's Place/dog run. The guinea babies are in there, inside a giant pen. She is very good with them but so enjoys watching all the action. If you can't find here, that's where she will be!
Annetta continues to do well. No sign of her cancer advancing. She still daily takes two different toy mice and carries them around, meowing very loudly. She's such a happy girl.
Here's an update about our 3 newest outside cats:
New COVIE:
JOHN black/white DOB 8/26/17 Arrived at FFRC 12/1/17. Adopted 2/10/18 but situation changed and had to come back to FFRC on 7/7/18.
John is black/white, super sweet and a polydactyl. He's friends with everyone. He likes the big outdoors so we thought he would be a great addition to the Covies--he gets the outdoors and yet is safe. A puur boy!
NEW PORCHIE:
TOASTY grey/white. DOB 5/26/17. Arrived at FFRC 6/9/18. He came from an area with known cat predators and had been injured. Due to safety, he could not be returned there. After trying various ways to meet his happiness, he decided himself to become a Porchie! He's made friends and is out and about and is becoming a meeter/greeter! Nice cat!
NEW PORCHIE:
WINSTON grey tiger DOB 6/1/17 Arrived at FFRC 6/1/18. He was found all by himself and seemed lost so he was brought to FFRC. It was obvious his heart was outside, not inside. We tried him as a Porchie and he has fit right in. Very visible, comes when called and is very happy! Loves to talk to people too!
If you come for a visit, you'll have to check these three boys out!
Take care to everyone! And know that you are all appreciated. Just a reminder: Tomorrow is Steve's surgery. I won't be around too much this week so if you could go light on emails and messages (and problems! lol) that would be a big help to me!
One of my daughters says this: "Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of humane change".
Also: "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive".
I appreciate our FFRCNation. While we meet in many ways--here with visitors, chat, lurking, messages, etc., your friendship and kindness to one another is so appreciated. And especially while we are all learning the youtube ways, patience is so important. We can do this change.........I just know it. People like our FFRCNation has it in them to do this change and keep on going with us! Please take good care.
