How on earth did we get to Sunday? This week went very fast. Lots going on.
We are currently in the middle of our t-shirt order. If interested, simply send a check or a PayPal to me, along with your size. For more info, there's lots on our cam and fb pages. These shirts are a grey with green lettering and are very nice. You can also go to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cd7LhxMu_XEdk9EMXldogwloLl3r_39n/view
Tshembo had his visit for his dental on Weds. I'm glad we bumped his appointment up as he had major dental work done. He has severe stomatitis. All of his teeth were removed except his lower canines and incisors. He's going to feel so much better. It's amazing--you can have a toothless cat and they will still eat dry food, which he is already doing.
We also had Kwan make a visit on Weds. He indeed has a major skin problem but it is under control. He has now had 4 special baths and is on oral medication. He's "safe" now and is so very happy because he can play with the other kittens. He's a little play machine and a major purring kitten!
This Weds. is our Flash Sale. Lots of great and new items in this sale. Mich and Vern will be here and will start the sale about 3:37ish. Come join us. This Flash Sale will help us with operational needs. These are the things that need attention to pay each and every week or month. I am appreciative of the folks that provided us with the items that we can sell!
We've taken on a new kitten. He was found in another county and taken to Dr. P's office. He has a laceration around his bum but it's healing. His name is Desi and is a dusty orange tiger. His birthday is 6/9/18. He's super friendly and wants to play with the other kittens. Since he was already in quarantine at the vet's office, he will be out amongst the kittens soon.
We also took on a new adult cat. His name is Barnabus and is the triangular-shaped face siamese. He's a Lilac Point and is 3 1/2 years old. He came from a family that could no longer keep him and so brought him to FFRC to find a new home. He's hanging out in the front Thumper's Room and the Welcome Room for right now. What a beauty he is. He loves his head rubbed and has a great purr motor. His birthday is 12/12/2014.
Catstock is now 20 days away! Every day we are getting things accomplished for this event. We look forward to having our friends come--volunteers, chatters, mods, admins, lurkers--everyone is so very welcome to come and have a great time together! Lots of good food too! And the band tells me they are excited to come! They are awesome......Strawberry Hill!

We have wonderful boxes awaiting to be opened. I apologize for not getting to this already but the schedule has been super tight. We WILL get to them. Please know, these boxes are very appreciated and the sender of them too! They make a huge difference to FFRC.
Beware of kittens flying around here! The back Thumper's Room and front Thumper's Room doors are open for a while this morning. We're encouraging the kittens in the back to be brave enough to come up and join us in the Main Area. Lots of kittens to add to the mix. In the next couple days, we should have them all up here!
