Update:
Little Oliver Taylor Blackwell had his leg amputation yesterday.  He became quite pale during surgery. The amputation was completed but the removal of his fractured canines could not be done. So....that will be a future surgery.  We had a bit of trouble keeping ahead of his pain level at first, but today we are there. He's comfortable and sleeping the morning away--a good thing. And he ate a good breakfast!  

We took on two new cats yesterday.
Muru--pronounced murr-ee, a Name a Cat name.  It means small kitten and she sure is.  Muru is an American Short Hair--beautiful markings. She's somewhere around 6-7 months old and just weighs a tad over 3 lbs.  Needless to say--she's very emaciated/dehydrated. She was found in another county, so so thin. She is eating a tiny little bit by herself. In addition, we are giving fluids and also oral liquid meals.  She can purr and loves her head to be rubbed.

Victoria--a Name a Cat name.  She is a torti, about 11 months old. Her birthday is 4/23/18.  She has been in a neighborhood for almost a year--showed up as a tiny kitten.  We are sending her up with HumaneOhio on Monday to be spayed. 

We have started a fun thing for the cammers to join in on!  Donna had given me 4 special butterfly coins.  I sent them to 4 ffrc friends!  The purpose--do a good deed and then pass it on to another ffrc friend!  There's different ways of using these coins but FFRC has chosen the thought--do a good deed and pass it on! It's called The Butterfly Effect.  If you should get one in the mail, simply go to the site that's listed, put in the code that's on the coin and add your good deed to the list. Then, put the coin and the enclosed info back in an envelope and pass it on to an FFRC friend!   Check out the site at: butterflycoins.org    It's a fun thing to do and also encourages acts of good deeds!





We had an adoption today! Little inkie Gabel was adopted!  The last 2 inkies are also spoken for and will be leaving us soon.  Gabel went into a home where there's another cat friend and tons of fun cat things to do, including a cat wheel! 

I've been asked about Mowgli. She is a remarkable cat.  A typical cat too--even with problems, they just keep on keepin' on.  Yes, her tongue does not look very good.  We feel there has been a trauma to her tongue--possible from something caustic or something tied around it at some time or an injury.  We are not sure. We do feel sure it is not calici.  Regardless of the cause, we are treating her with soreness meds, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and all the food she wants! 

We have more thanks to give:
Janet M--donation to FFRC
Pro Gear Boat Rentals--donation to help with Oliver Taylor BLackwell
Jones Shop--donation to FFRC
Maite--donation in honor of Addy
Yvonnevdk--donation to help with Mowgli's meds
Janet S and Harley--donation for my BD, for FFRC--Feliz Navidad Fund

Here's a few dates coming up:
April 1--HumaneOhio
April 2--quickie flash sale
April 6--FFRC surgery
April 15--HumaneOhio and Advisory Board meeting

The 8 kittens in the back have had a couple excursions here into the Main Area. Some are braver than others!  It won't be long until we can leave them up longer! 

Have a great weekend!
