Yesterday was FFRC's surgery day. All went fine. Busy day but very productive. We did 13 surgeries total--broke down to 9 neuters, 3 spays and 1 amputation. This brings our total spays/neuters to 917--509 spays and 408 neuters. We did have a couple changes to our original schedule.
Spays: Hatima, GIdget and Clara
Neuters: Sinbad (plus his amputation to front lt leg) , Smoochie, Griffin, TUrbo, Bronco, Aladdin, and 3 male public neuters.
We also did physicals (all surgery cats also get a physical):
Giovana--continue on! She's gained back a couple more ounces!
Kubu and Kandan--both good
Marilyn--heart remains steady and strong
Barin--it appears at the very tip of both of his short front legs that there's a bit of a "horn", probably from a toenail bed. If so, that would indicate this was something that he was born with. Barin also has a heart murmur--4/6
Bruno--still a severe heart murmur--5/6
Sinbad is recovering from his amputation. He will probably need a couple days to regain his balance and then he goes! I'm betting he will be back to his speedy self.
Many thanks to Gusti for providing drinks for us on surgery day--pop, water and juice. And thanks to Joyce D for the yummy pizza and bread sticks! A big thanks to Dr. Darcy, our vet and to Amber our vet tech. Also to the following for helping with this day: Lynnette, Sue, Becky M, Mary Braid, Painteddaisy.

Cherokee found a piece of rope and is carrying it around with friends following--Kubu and Teg and Hinsley! Mama Singita continues to get more floor time along with her 6 babies. Those little legs go all over the room! Every once in a while one will try a nibble of food but none are liking that yet! The 6 babies are doing great--healthy and happy. The other kittens on the floor in the back Thumper's Room will soon get to come into the Main Area. They're about ready!
We had an adoption! Sweet Banjo went to his new home. He had a bit of a trip but slept all the way home. I've already heard back and sounds like he's exploring his home already!
I'll be working this week on placing the baby Persian kittens with an application since they are now 5 weeks old.
You all take good care and have a wonderful Sunday.
