Elsie FFRC Moss.  Yes, Elsie is officially a resident. Here's how it works--all cats and kittens have FFRC as their last name. But, residents have a second last name of Moss.  I figure I'm responsible for these cats for the rest of their lives. Why did we make Elsie a resident?  Just.....because.  She's been here from a young kitten and is now 3 years old.  Even though she is so strong in her life of doing what she wants, this really is her home. And besides.....I don't think I could bear her leaving.  We do not do this often because our main goal is to find homes for these cats--that's what we do. But, every once in a while, it happens. So........now when she's extra ornery, she'll be called Elsie FFRC Moss...behave!  And right now she is on the Kuranda Tower by my desk, thoroughly "staring" at me. Love this girl and all she does.

We had BOXES yesterday. I am constantly amazed at the support we are given. You truly do make a difference to FFRC.

Beware of those plastic bags. They certainly can pose a danger to cats. I know of a family of cats that was playing with a bag, with one of the cats inside the bag. They fell asleep on the bag and the cat inside couldn't get out. Good thing the owner was close at hand.  I also know of a cat that received a major leg fracture--got it's leg caught in the handle which scared it and she took off running--rounded a corner and crashed into the wall.  Keep your cats safe! 

We've had a couple people asking about our FFRC pics on Flickr.  The link is:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/fofrescue/       Enjoy! 

Barnabus has chirped at us, he's purred and he's down walking around more in the front Thumper's Room and Welcome Room! Slowly but surely, he's getting some love-dosed confidence! 

Jones is officially feeling better today and what a joy that is.  Our boy has had a very rough 3-4 weeks.  He has a multitude of problems at times. Nothing has seemed to help too much. Jones is a cat that is very unique. But, yesterday afternoon, he came bounding to us like he use to do. Tail up in the air, his unsteady gait and with a sparkle in his eye that said..........I'm baaaacck!! This morning, he was still our Jones boy in how he acted.  We just want him happy and healthy!

We have more thanks to give---you are appreciated!

Here are some of the cats on hold:  Cherrios & Prentiss (together), Razzle & Zazzle (together), Ximanga, Doodle, Freckles and possibly Clowey!  We just have to get them spayed/neutered!

Tuesday is our next spay/neuter date with HumaneOhio.  Our next one after that is the next Tuesday, the 4th.  These two surgery dates have boomed with a huge amount of people wanting to get their cats spayed/neutered. These are loaded and overflowing.  The 3rd next HumaneOhio is September 25. 

Tuesday, August 29, Mitz goes to the vet for her dental work.  Two more dentals are scheduled for September 12th for Dingy and Oliver. More dentals coming up too. 

Short blog but wanted to get our thank yous out!  Have a super great day!
