Saturday, July 28, 2018

What a lovely day!  Cooler temps, lower humidity! The cats and kittens are enjoying all of the windows being opened! 

We had an adoption yesterday!  Pogo went to his new home with my granddaughter Ashlyn and her hubby Josh.  It's a good thing because it was becoming hard to resist that little boy for me!  Ashlyn told me today that he slept beside her and all is well.  

We had BOXES yesterday!  Your boxes to FFRC are important to us--they keep us supplied in so many ways! We are always grateful.

Today is a grow up day for the farmyard!  The ducklings and mama will now be out 24/7. We won't pen them up anymore at night time. Babies are as big as mama!  Their night time pen will be moved to fresh grass today and the guinea keets will go into this pen. They are still quite small but growing daily. Their present pen is now too small!  A super weather day to move them out on the farmyard!

We've heard from Rowdy's new family--"Henry/Rowdy is doing great! Having lots of play time and cuddle time. He is using the litterbox just fine."  He has a cat friend there named Arlo.

And we have more thanks to give!

We took on 2 new kittens yesterday. 
Cherokee--a handsome light brown tiger & white.  He has 2 white front legs and a bib. He was found by himself with an injury. His right rear leg is swollen. Super friendly. Fleas 1/4.  Cherokee was named in memory of Nikka.  He had a bath and is now clean and flea free.  Very ornery and sweet! His birthday is 5/4/18--makes him 12 weeks old.

March--a sweet, special black male. He was born 5/22/18 which makes him 9 1/2 weeks old. Someone had put on FB that if no one came and got this kitten, they would toss him out. A wonderful young lady who has adopted from us went and rescued him and then brought him to FFRC. He has special needs. You see, his right rear leg is stiff as a board and cannot bend. He sometimes drops this leg which makes a sore on the underside. March also has a super kinked up tail--adds to his personality.  He brings back sweet memories of other kittens we have had with stiff rear legs.  He and Cherokee are becoming good friends. 

The 9 kittens in the back Thumper's Room are getting better and better.  We now leave all 9 down 24/7. They are growing stronger.  And playing!  Eventually we will put March and Cherokee in the back Thumper's Room too!

Take care. Have a wonderful summer. Pet lots of cats and help another one get spayed or neutered.
