The LaChat sisters popped in for a few minutes the other evening.  They wanted to check in and remind us that they would be back for the next Fun-Raiser.  Like last year, they are donating 12 beautiful portraits they had in their gallery.....and of the FFRC's very own artwork!  Our FFRC cats are truly amazing! The Fun-Raiser starts Feb. 24th and ends at 9 am Feb. 27th.  BOXES will be the 27th at 3:00, followed by the portraits done by the FFRC cats! You will be given a chance to put your tickets on any of the portraits that you would like. And........happy news........very soon you will be able to see these wonderful pictures! The cats chosen for this are just busting with pride!

We've heard from Nicole who is Kubu's new mama.  "He is adjusting and is an absolute blast to have at home.  He's perfect!!"  So glad to hear this......he's a wonderful boy! 

We have a new mama and her 4 kittens.  And she is so beautiful.  She came from a home where the little doggie was really bothering the mama and kitties. She's a young mama --a tawny brown tiger with a tinge of tortiness.  Her name is Sasekani--pronounced sass-ah-connie.  And the name does indeed mean beautiful! This is a Name a Cat name.  The babies are 13 days old with a birthday of 2/2/19. Babies are all round and healthy! 
1--gray tiger, female

Buck was here yesterday and finished some jobs we had for him. This time he put drawer handles on for us, fixed the hangers that we use for the yoga mats to dry, put in another cat door (for the Stuff Room, just in case a cat gets stuck in there--they can get out but not in!).  He also put in the new catwalks for Paddy's Place and Kittie Campus.  They are rather expensive...boards are PVC and will always look new! The wear and tear in the future will not mar them at all. The cats already love these catwalks!

There are 32 days until spring! It's already showing signs--stores have bulbs and garden equipment. But more importantly--the animals know it too!  The chickens are laying more eggs. The male peacocks are fully feathered. The guineas are singing their spring songs. The raccoons were out scavenging. We're all anxiously awaiting spring!

Puddy is out and about and really enjoying herself. She loves to play. She was chasing something on the walls today (that only Puddy could see!). And she loves to be petted.  Addy is now up 100% in the Main Area.  She likes the Purple Office and so loves a head rub. Spiker is here on my desk--his feet look good.  Hensley is in my lap, sound asleep. 

Lancelot and MacNeil are good friends--they can really rough-house but all in fun.  Lancelot is so good to the 6 black kittens. And have you noticed Lancelot's head--it's almost perfectly normal! Nikka, our feral cat in the Cove, is becoming more at ease with the the people that feed her--she knows she is safe.  Sevaun had to re-hide her cell phone that she uses for food/pizza orders.  Walter discovered her previous hiding spot. 

Take care and have a wonderful weekend!  MacNeil will be adopted this morning, around 10:00.
