If you come for a visit, be prepared to do the kitten shuffle--they are everywhere!  No walking fast or picking feet up high!  There's always a cat or a kitten underfoot. And what a lot of fun they are having. The latest 11 kittens are now in the Main Area full time. They even stayed out last night and did just fine.  They are eating good and sure love to play and climb. The palm trees are getting a good workout!

We had a family stop in with lots of donations--litter, dry food, can food, toys, soap, snacks! These gifts were made in honor of their kids birthdays for FFRC!  From: Jettie, Adelynn, Althea, Elli, Payton HA, Payton HO, Riley, Isabella, Vada, Whitney & Zayva and Granny, Grandma Sandi & Bingham too!  They also sent a very kind card.  This family had adopted from us in the past and unfortunately lost their kitten way too soon. I'm thinking there will be an adoption from them! Once you have that special love of a cat, it's hard to do without. 

We took on a new kitten. His name is Radar (a Name a Cat name). He arrived 11/10/19. One of our volunteers found him when she came out of a restaurant. He meowed loudly and marched right up to her! Slight nasal and eye discharge but that is already doing much better.  He was very hungry and dug right in.  A real sweetie that loves attention. He is black/white with one white eye patch and one black eye patch. His birthday is 10/6/18. 

I wanted to let you know that one of our beloved Covies has passed away. SoyBoy arrived here after being found by a  volunteer 7/27/08.  He was one year old. He passed at the age of 11 years old.  SoyBoy has had medical issues over the years but always stayed his sweet self. He's been with us a long time. We knew things weren't good on Saturday -- he was brought up to the Rescue Center. We kept him comfortable, warm and rehydrated.  He passed away yesterday.  He will be remembered as a friendly boy that loved us and all the visitors. Sure will miss him. 

I'm happy to say that Sinbad is doing wonderful. He's been all over the place and seems to be comfortable and has certainly adapted to that leg being removed.  That part was probably easier on him than most since he hadn't used that leg for weeks.  His incision area is healing nicely. 

Coming up dates:

November 25- 28   FunRaiser!  Boxes at 3:00, drawing to follow on 11/28

Giovana is doing pretty good--she has been eating better! Jessie, our oldest oldster is doing great and has a good appetite. She always meows and lifts her chin up when she wants food! Clara has progressed out to the Main Area and seems comfortable with us. She's a bit shy but that's ok.

Have a great day!
