We've had adoptions!  I believe I might have missed a couple on the last blog, so we will back up a bit.
Rosie--adopted 10/22.  She went to a great home!  They waited for her to be big enough to be spayed for 2 months! A long anticipated adoption!
Thapar and Imogene--adopted 10/23. They went to their new home together. This family had adopted from us years ago and now needed to fill a lost space there. These two kittens will even get to vacation with them!
Telo--adopted 10/25--the first of the 4 Persians from the back room.  He went, fluffy tail and all! to a lady who is a Godmother to one of the Persians from last year. I've already seen pictures and he is so happy. Playing and exploring.
McCain--adopted 10/27--another Persian, the red boy. He was the first one put on hold of that group. He will be so loved. McCain is such a nut--loves to play and be cuddled.
Atticus--adopted 10/27. This is one of the School Litter kittens. He's a brown tiger and has a blueness to his eyes--so very beautiful! Such a sweet kitten. He's going in a family that was excited to have him.
Magnificence and Ti ya--adopted today, 10/28. They went with a good friend of FFRC's. She loves Persians and spent time with them before adoption--a really good fit for the kittens.  I'm very happy for these two kittens.
Greybie--we are going to call this a foster failure adoption. Greybie came here in September, found by a volunteer. Greybie was very very shy and went to spend time with a family that I know to help her relax and acclimate to a home. Well..........they've decided she must stay with them! She's still a bit shy and they didn't want to stress her out by having her change homes!

More adoptions still coming up!  The 2 adoptions of Manfred and Lukas will wait one week.

It begins today! Our Fun-Raiser starts today and ends at 9 am on Weds.  We will then have BOXES at 3:00 Weds. with the Drawing following that. And of course, we have consolation prizes! Many thanks for helping to make this event possible.  This will go towards our medical bills--we've had a lot lately--more vaccines, another test kit for leukemia/fiv, more anesthetic meds, dentals, major surgeries, spays/neuters, etc.

We have thanks to give!
Sandra C--donation to FFRC
Janet M--donation to FFRC
Colleen P--donation to FFRC
Deryn R--donation to FFRC
Patty P (my cousin)--4 Belvita boxes for vols!!, 2 kitty snackers, 54 cans Fancy Feast, 2 Broths

We've had an update on Helga! "She is doing great and is quite a character. She loves to play and amuses herself with strange objects such as a potato. She is such a great addition to our home."  It's always nice to hear about our FFRC cats.

Sinbad is coming along. His pinned leg is looking better--the swelling is going down. He still is resting and sleeping alot but he went thru so much. Plus, mobility is a bit hard for him. Dr. Darcy said the fracture that was pinned was very bad. So, with healing, we are hoping he will be able to get up and about more.  He's down on the floor in the front Thumper's Room but is an observer of what's going on.  His other front leg remains useless. Once that leg is removed and his pinned leg heals, Sinbad will be up and about more! He's a nice boy with a sweet personality.

Peppi is now in the Main Area most of the time--her choice to come up. She still spends a little time in the front Thumper's Room though. She's rapidly acclimating to being with all the other kittens. She's been playing a bit now too with them! She looks like a Spiker miniature. 

If you hear on cam, a quiet gentle meowing, that would be either Derecho (who has done this for years) or Smoochie! Smoochie's bite wounds continue to heal. His left eye is still a bit swollen but we continue to treat it.  His biggest wound on his head is better.  And............no more seizures!

We've taken on a new kitten. His name is Reglisse (pronounced Ray-Gleece). It's a Name a Cat name.
He's a very handsome black/white kitten that is 5 months old. He has a bit of white between his eyes and has a left whisker pad that is white.  His birthday is 5/22/18.  He was found on a driveway a week ago in bad weather. This family held him until we could get him into FFRC.  A real nice kitten.

Giovanna has gained back another couple of ounces! Go, Giovanna, go! Cashew and March are doing terrific.  They continue to heal and will get their sutures out this week.  It's very obvious by watching their playing that they both are feeling better--no pain or discomfort like before their surgeries!

On Weds., we have 2 reservations at the vet's for dentals.  More info as to who will go later. 

Have a very wonderful Sunday!
