I would like to express my appreciation for being my friend and making my birthday so special. Flowers, cake, ice cream deserts, cards, lots of wonderful messages--all so very nice and super appreciated. It is so nice to have our FFRCNation surround us all. Thank you.
We had a Porchie adoption! Morton was certainly showing unrest, being inside the rescue center. He was visiting the doors and the windows, trying to find a way out. He had been outside a few times in his previous home. And then, he started showing some aggression to the other cats. That, along then with him starting to spray, told me he was not happy. I was planning on letting him be a Porchie when he made his own decision and got out the door all by himself. He made his own decision. So far, so good--I've seen him twice now and he is much more relaxed. He gets to be the cat he wants to be.
Addie is becoming more comfortable! She is out and about more, loves the palm tree, enjoys her meals and absolutely loves to have her head scratched! She's a quiet soul--doesn't ask for much except to be loved. Such a pretty girl.
We have thanks to give!

What a way to work--Eddie White is on my desk. Coralie is right beside me within range of getting her head rubbed. Zelda is beside Eddie White. Manville is close by--he likes to be talked to. Ramsay is on the floor playing with the toy-that-moves. Asha is right behind me waiting for another ear rub. And Gracie O'Malley is very close by too--she loves her back to be scratched!
We have a new Porchie! He looks alot like Zavatar and Azar. His name is Cooper. He's a brown tiger/white boy. To easily tell them apart, Cooper has a brown tiger dot on his right shoulder. He needed a new home and the vote from the Porchies was a thumbs up. Personally, I think the Porchies are keeping it to a Boys Club!
Big News! All 8 kittens of Sasekani and Flower are eating from the plate! That's a big deal. At least that's what Sasekani says! You may know that little Sammy had a tiny bit of a runny nose. But, because of that Respiratory Panel we had done, we started him on that particular antibiotic. He's doing great now, playing like a crazy kitten, eating good and gaining weight!
Tuesday we will have our Mich and Vern Flash Sale at 2:30 ish. Lots of great items!
Today we will have BOXES at 2:00 💙😁 We love boxes!
