We are back from our family vacation and had a super wonderful time. Spending this time with my family was refreshing, super fun and just plain awesome! All went well--the sun was out every single day. No rain. Lots of ocean and beach time. Super precious time to me!
And now we're all back and getting into the hang of things already. Monday was very busy catching up on all treatments. Lots of wormings, flea preventions, checking up on those that had a few problems, vaccines to give. But all are now current! The cats and kittens are a healthy bunch! Many heartfelt thanks to all that gave their time to the rescue center so Steve and I could leave. You mean a lot to me.
Many of you already know that our sweet Annetta passed away the morning that we left on vacation. She had been diagnosed with cancer months ago and has done very well, until the last week. It was obvious that the cancer had taken hold. She was an incredibly nice cat. I'm thankful that she was here.
And I have a lot of thanks to catch up on!

Today is the day! Our Flash Sale happens this afternoon about 2:30 with Mich. Lots of great items. I thank those that provided the items for this sale. Sure is nice of you! And I thank you in advance for supporting this sale.
Marilyn is happy to be back. She's doing very well. And needless to say........Vernon is thrilled! I've heard from Callisynne's new family. She is doing very well and spends lots of time "talkiing" to the squirrels and birds while watching them from her window seats! Kerfuzzy has settled in nicely and has made friends with everyone. A super sweet kitten.
We have taken on 12 new cats/kittens since our return.
Rill--this cute little boy actually came to FFRC a few days before our vacation. The person that found him kept him until our return. But we were able to get him started on his worming and vaccines. He arrived to stay on 10/8 and he's now all caught up. He's in the Main Area and has already begun making friends. His birthday is 6/25/18. He's mostly white with black ears and tail with a few black pokie-dots on him!
Brother & Sister Persians Birthdate is 7/10/18, they are 13 weeks old.
Magnificence is black, although right now she looks silvery black. Her adult fur will probably be all black. Brother is McCain. He's called a red in color and is very fluffy. They are very playful and love the spring toys already!
Brother & Sister Persians Birthdate is 4/8/18, they are 26 weeks old.
Tilo (means heaven) is the male. Tiya (means strong) is the female. They are blue silver tabby and white. So very beautiful and sweet.
Mama and 6 babies
Singita (pronounced Sing Geeta, means Miracle) is the mama. She has 6 babies, born 10/6/18--they are just 3 days old. Singita is all white with black on her head and tail. She too has black pokie-dots! She so loves a head rub. Her babies are 1 calico, 2 are white & black, 3 are black & white. Upon weighing them today, all babies gained anywhere from .3 to .5 ounces already. The smallest weighs 3.0 and the largest is 3.08 ounces. They all have nice round tummies.
You may ask why all the Persians. A Persian breeder has decided to retire. He's been well known for decades on his good breeding program. We are honored to be able to take these Persians in, help them grow and be ready for adoptions. Each one of these Persians are healthy. All will be spayed/neutered before they can be adopted. The two brother/sister sets will be spayed/neutered on our FFRC surgery date of 10/20. And yes, soon, we will turn the cam on in the back Thumper's Room. All names are from our Name A Cat name list.
So far in the last 24 hours we've rescued a frog and a chipmunk. Those Porchies--they sure like to discover things! But, no harm done. Froggie was placed in a nice safe wet area and the chipmunk was taken down about 3 houses where there's lots of brush. Even our oldster Dingie was interested!
We have 2 new farm friends. Apparently, one of the peahens hatched out 2 babies in the big woods and came back to the farmyard with them. They are very small yet--probably just 2-3 weeks old.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be BOXES! Yeah! I can't wait. We've accumulated a bit last week--I'm excited! Hopefully will see you then!
