Today is HumaneOhio surgery day! These surgery days are wonderful as it's the #1 thing we can do to control the overpopulation problem. As you know, my goal for 2018 is 1,000 and we're getting close! Today we sent up 40 cats---29 females and 11 males. Our grand total now is 905, which breaks down to 506 females and 399 males.
Many thanks to Lynnette, Donnajb, Mary Braid and Becky for pitching in and helping us with the check ins. It's always super busy--we check in that many cats in 40 minutes!
Many thanks for the Quick Flash Sale we had yesterday--sold all 40 blankies, of various kinds! This will help us with paying our electricity bill! Many thanks to all who provided the blankies and those that purchased them. This sale provided $562.00 to FFRC!
We are bursting at the seams. We took on 5 more kittens. 1 single kitten and 4 littermates
Aladdin--the single one--arrived yesterday and was all alone and so needs to be with people--all he does is purr and knead. He's an orange tiger/white boy, about 9 weeks old. His birthday is 9/3/18. He has a couple cuts on his face but is healing nicely. Aladdin also arrived with severe ear mite infestation. We are working hard on those!
Sierra(brown tiger/torti)
Skittles (grey tiger/torti)
Sloopy (ASH black tiger)
Sake (tiger/calico) pronounced sock ee)
These four kittens arrived with a mama and one other kitten. We have been planning on their arrival for quite some time........but, mama had to be spayed. Today is her spay-date with HumaneOhio. The kitten and mama will go back to their home this evening at pick-up time.
We have thanks to give!

We had another adoption! Whitney went to her new home on 11/3. She hadn't been back long when someone had visited here and fell for her. They came back to adopt her (off cam). She had come back with a diagnosis of feline hyperesthesia also known as "twitchy cat syndrome". We have treated her initially for this and hopefully, that treatment will see her thru and she no longer has this problem. If it returns, she will go to Dr. Darcy, by the owner. I've talked to them twice now and she is doing great and is calm. She has an outside enclosed porch that she can visit anytime. Apparently a deer was seen close up by Whitney and she watched her for a long time!
We've heard from the family that adopted Rosie. They say: "Rosie is doing great and is a wonderful addition to our family. She's cuddly and playful and is growing like a week. Everyone, people and animals, just love her to pieces!"
We've also heard from Manfred and Lukas and have seen pictures. Both seem totally relaxed and happy with their new home. They made that long trip very nicely--slept most of the way!
We've also heard from Cee-Cee's new family. All is good there. She especially likes hanging out on the back of the couch, looking out the window!
Like to giggle? Derecho's done it again with a lot of help from a special FFRC friend! Here it is--https://youtu.be/xCppY2htZSw Enjoy! And remember to click the like/thumbs up button on youtube!
We have a tentative surgery schedule for this Saturday here at FFRC.
Girls--Clara, Pippi, Sierra and Skittles
Boys--2 public males, Sinbad, Smoochie, Griffin, Turbo, Bronco, Tyler. A couple of these depends on their weight--will be weighed tomorrow.
Sinbad will also have his left front leg removed. He's walking wonderfully on his right front leg now! Just think how fast he will be without that leg to hinder his moves, just like March and Cashew.
We also, time permitting, will do a few physicals.
