We had some rain!  I think the cats even enjoyed watching it come down! I know the ducks and geese were sure having fun.  We sure did need that rain for the farmer's fields and for the yards.  Maverick (the horse) found a tiny mud puddle and rolled in it.  I always say give him a cup of mud and he'll be successful in rolling his big body all over in mud! 

We had 3 more adoptions! 
Rafiki went to a new home with other cats. I've already seen a picture and he really looks happy and contented. He has so much love to give--he's going to be a happy boy having his very own home!

Tristan & Bris--the twin brothers went to their new home together! So glad they got to go together.  This family too has other cats--these kittens will fit right in. Tristan & Bris are the two tigers with white socks.

Still more adoptions coming up!

We had BOXES on Thursday.  I am so very grateful for these gifts. It helps our cabinets, shelves and closets to stay stocked.  The cats and kittens too are thankful!

Update on Gunner.  Gunner is my granddaughter's horse--the gold/white paint. He's been here a bit over a year. Recently, Ashlyn and her husband have moved and they now have a barn with a horse stall and a pasture. Gunner will be leaving tomorrow, Sunday afternoon.  He's a great horse and will be missed but knowing Ashlyn has her own horse on her own property is precious to me.  He will have many neighboring horses to see so he won't be lonely for another horse. 

We have names for the 4 latest kittens! These 4 kittens arrived on 7/18.  Unfortunately their mama was killed on the road. A couple saw that she was gone and knew where her kittens were--in a woodpile. So, they were brought to FFRC.  They are only 4 weeks old and arrived very hungry. Gobbled up their soft slurry food.  Here they are.........
Cheerio--Female, calico
Doodle--Male, grey/white
Razzle--gold/white
Zazzle--gold/white (twins, but he has a bit more white over hips)

When Peggy comes to volunteer, if she has any fosters she always brings them with her.  Cashew and Ximanga came and they stayed!  They are now in the Main Area. Both are doing great. Cashew's little front foot still remains a tiny problem--Dr. Darcy will look  at it again in a couple weeks.  

Auntie Peggy then took the 4 new ones home with her to foster for a couple weeks.  My schedule is so tight--this is a big help to me right now. But, all 4 are doing good and eating well on their own. I imagine they are getting quite spoiled--exactly what we want! 

I can give you a tentative list of kitties and cats that will be adopted--are on hold. Just keep in mind, things change sometimes.  The ones on tentative holds are: 
Bart & Pipkins together
Brinn & Wonder together
Neal & Virginia together
Helga (today late morning)
Callisynne & Tilly Rose together
Chikandi
Rowdy
Zurple

Kitties and cats come in and they go out!  That's what we do........find wonderful, loving homes where we know they are well cared for.  Take care and have a wonderful weekend.  Still have some stray cats & kittens?  Now is the time to spay and neuter.  It truly does make a difference. We can't adopt our way out of the overpopulation numbers of cats, but we CAN spay/neuter our way out of this problem!
