You know one of my favoritest sayings is so true--it takes a village to run this Rescue Center. Think about the many layers of friends (I call you guardians) of FFRC--protecting us, supporting us, befriending us, loving the cats and kitties--simply......taking care of us. I am so grateful.
I missed passing on a report from our 9/4 HumaneOhio surgery day. On that day, we did 34 cats--20males & 14 females. Our total as of today for all 2018 spays/neuters is 767. That breaks down to 432 females and 335 males--sure does make me smile! Plus, we have another HumaneOhio surgeryd ay this Tuesday ......... and it's loaded full!
Our little kitty TIckles is having trouble with her incision. She is sporting a cone right now to keep her from licking her incision. She doesn't seem to mind it--it has soft edges. She will be going back to the vets tomorrow to get that repaired. And then come back later in the same day.
More thanks to give!
Wendy C--donation for chickie for the kitties

Marti W--donation for FFRC

We are having our September Fun-Raiser.......yes, it's going on right now! Check it out on our fb pages. It stops at 9 am tomorrow (Monday). We will have BOXES at 4:00 Monday, with the Drawing following that. And we have consolation prizes! Come join the fun.
I'd like to say a special thank you to you for the lovely cards our family has received for my mom. I have read each and every one of them while sitting in mom's house. A thank you isn't enough but please now your kindness has sincerely warmed my heart. I love being in her house with Shamballie. It's a peaceful home where I feel comfort at.
Remember Freckles? Her new name is Ellie. She's doing great. She's been at the vets for a health exam and had a good report. And she now weighs 3.4!
I've also heard from the family that adopted Maya, now known as Vayda. She is doing great, there in Tennessee. "She is the perfect combination of sassy and sweet and definitely possesses that beloved "tortitude", despite her CH!" They also sent pictures and she sure looks happy!
Yes, we're thinking of the upcoming winter already. The Porchies will have additional protection thanks to LJ and Beth. They worked on a special project the week after Catstock. One section of the shelter house is partitioned off with waterproof curtains. There are picnic tables tucked inside this area with barn houses for the cats to snug into when the weather is bad. They can stay warmer here, away from the wind and wet stuff. Some of the Barnies have joined the Porchies and so we wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for all. Come springtime, we can simply pull the partitions back--it all works so nicely!
Alma has a nice short tree that is close to her chosen area. Many thanks to the anonymous friend that sent it to her. Now, if she wishes, she can simply reach out and climb on her own!
Giovanna needs some good thoughts and prayers. She's struggling a bit but hanging onto a bit of appetite yet. Yes, she has lost some weight. We originally had her age down where she would be about 10 years old but that was always questionable. It really is felt she is much older than that.
Our two newest kittens are doing good. Czar is a little rascal and loves to play with Rosie--they look almost identical. So much fun can be had by two little kitties! Barin is doing good. A little bit shy but investigates the entire Rescue Center. Has a real sweet personality.
Take care, everyone. It's a cooler day here--the cats are enjoying that.
