4 more days to Christmas and the cats and kitties are being so extra sweet and fun! They have high hopes of chicken droppings, another ham bone and even a fresh baked turkey.  Shhhh--don't tell them but I believe Santa will deliver! 

We've had another adoption! Wonderful Myra went to her new home. She left 12/19. I think Myra knew she was the special one of the day.........she got her very own home!

We've have a switcheroo for two days.  Auntie Peggy left the 4 P kittens here yesterday. The reason....the family that will be adopting Ponce De Leon will be visiting him today.  So, Auntie Peggy left them here. We had 2 kittens that needed extra TLC--Azzilee and Edwina and so they went home with her! Saturday we will undo the switch!

The Persian babies are doing very good on their adventures to the Main Area. All seem happy with these visits, including Singita.  Paw Paw travels back and forth, keeping track of all of them.  Mystic too likes the action of the Main Area. 

Lancelot is doing great.  Sometimes he plays "hard to catch", but once he is he sure turns his motor on!  And his head is most definitely "on straighter"!  It still has a slight twist but so much better than at arrival. He doesn't even seem to mind his ear meds.

We had Boxes and Envelopes yesterday.  I am just so amazed at the continued box support--you make a huge difference to FFRC. We have many thanks to give:

Did you know that Barin can hop 26 inches from the floor to a shelf?  He showed how he does it last night.  He has amazing hopping abilities! He is constantly surprising us with what he can do. 

And then there's March--all 3 legged, very kinky tail self, is a super kitten. He has so much love to give. He truly loves being cuddled and made a fuss over.  He too is so mobile. He plants that rear leg in the middle of his weight and off he goes. 

The Covies are getting their spa days.  We have 3/4's of them brushed out, bottoms trimmed if needed, ears cleaned, nails trimmed and their flea medicine applied!  It's part of their Christmas gift (even though they didn't agree to that!).  Sevaun has lost a little weight--she looks great though.  Maybe she missed ordering her pizza for December??!!  

Lucie has her own vocabulary------different meows for:  it's time to go to your desk to work, it's time to hold me now in your lap, it's time to play with me with my feather toy, it's time to put me on the special bed on the desk----yep, that's Lucy's talk!  She is so smart! 

You might have seen Buck here yesterday. He will be here again today.  He told me he had a couple days to come--to make a list for him.  He's here doing all all sorts of repair jobs.  The electric outlet in the Big Red Barn was replaced.  Two outlets in THTJB were replaced. Our overhead light by the dryer was replaced--wow, we can see now. It's so bright!  A shelf in the front Thumper's Room needed attention so no one would hurt themselves on the corners again. Buck figured that out too.  Today he will replace a bad door to the Cat's Corner Room.  It's so nice to get these repairs done. 

Mr. Anderson is at it again!  He has discovered the curved mirror in the purple office.  He climbs up on the cat furniture there and the mirror is only about 1 foot away. He will sit there for a very long time just staring at himself!  Always makes us laugh.  This boy so needs to have his very own home where he's allowed to be the awesome kitten that he is. 

Thank you all for being a part of this Rescue Center. We share these cats and kittens with you because we know you care. And the cats enjoy having you for friends (and so do we!). Have a really nice day today!
