Smile wide, Mitz! She has pearly white teeth now! She had 11 teeth extracted and is doing great. It's always amazing to me--you look in a cat's mouth and can visually (maybe) see a few teeth that need some help. But, it's the x-rays that show the whole story of each individual tooth. We always include an x-ray so we can really see how many teeth need help. I cannot imagine the pain and discomfort that bad teeth cause a cat, even though many times, they (as cats do) don't show it. We have more dentals scheduled.
Wow--our Blankie Bash for Bills was fantastic! We made $853 from blankets! Our FFRCNation is amazing. You knew of our need--our repair bills went way beyond what we had in reserve. You heard our need and responded and I am so grateful. We've had a few other donations too to add to our repair bills. Truly our FFRNation is composed of compassionate friends.

We have an adoption today about around 12:30. BOXES will be at 2:00 today. This is followed by another adoption at 3:30.
I've heard from Tshembo's mom. All is good. The family dog enjoys giving Tshembo a bath! He's eating good and enjoys playtime with his mom!
I've also heard several times from Wonder and Brinn's new mama. The pictures shows two kittens that are so happy and healthy! I think they landed in a jack-pot of a great home.
Tuesday we have another HumaneOhio day and it's booked full. We have another date yet for September but will only have one HumaneOhio spay/neuter date for October. Dr. Darcy will be here September 15 for a spay/neuter day. We will of course, have physicals too to do that day.
Love the corniness of Clowey! He zips here and there and plays with one and all. He's very high energy in his playing and in giving love. What a sweet cat. And we also have Teg and Sabu--both needing homes. These two young boys are absolutely two of the sweetest kittens ever. And their playing antics are high energy--so much fun! All 3 of these kittens will stop immediately from playing in exchange for holding!
EIGHT days to Catstock---September 8th! Come one, come all. This is the second year that we will not be doing the carnival part of Catstock. It's a day of Food, Fun and Friendship--directed towards adults! The band is Strawberry Hill which is awesome. Lunch is at 12 noon and there's a whole lot of good food being planned, including veggie packs on the grill.
The band plays from 1:00 to 4:00. During that same time, we will have FFRC cat bingo, Giant Tic/Tac/Toe, Corn Hole, Pioneer Toys, FFRC Scavenger Hunt, Giant Yahtzee, Rock Painting, Origami Money, and Grown Up Chalk Fun on the driveway. Then at 5:15, there will be Pizza from Padrones delivered followed by a campfire with s'mores and pudgy pies! All alot of fun. Come join us--meet new friends and re-acquaint with old friends.
And of course, the Rescue Center and the Cove will be open for visitors to come and pet and admire the cats! They've been doing extra grooming and lots of primping!
See you at BOXES at 2:00!
