We got the ceiling painted in the Paddy's Place room, June's Room and the Kitty Campus Room. We also got about half done of the Main Area's ceiling. Everything got 2 coats--soaked it right up. And it looks really nice and clean! Many thanks to Eric M, Mary Braid and Pablo for their help. And also to Connie D, who was cleaning and was so patient with us all getting in her way! We'll get the other half of Main Area and the Welcome Room done soon!
Tomorrow will be a busy day. We have a board meeting at 3:00. Also we have our next HumaneOhio spay/neuter day. As always, check ins are between 5:30-6 am. Check outs are usually around 5:30-ish pm.
We took on a new cat from Dr. P's office yesterday. She arrived at their office on Thursday with a very large laceration from her lip, up her nose, clear to her eye--sliced completely open and flapping. Dr. Darcy did her suture repair on Friday and did an awesome job of it. It looks beautiful now and all together. She arrived here yesterday. Her name is Enola. She's a beautiful black/white cat. She's cruising about in the front THumper's Room.
We've had 3 more adoptions!
Frank went to his new home on 4/12. He went to a great home, where they had been preparing for him for 3 weeks. He's the first of the 8 kittens to leave.
Lorry and Tenzin also were adopted, together! They went to a family that has had 3 cats always but recently, they lost their last one as an oldster. They decided Lorry and Tenzin would be perfect for them!
Update on Farrah--she is adjusting to her new meds. The first couple days on her new treatment plan was a little rough for her. But she seems to be back! She's eating good now and is acting like her self--our wonderful Farrah girl!
Paw Paw is doing wonderful. He's such a happy oldster. His fur is grown out and it's so nice--he will never be body shaved here! Ramsay loves to be on the "brown box toy"! He reaches down inside it and plays with the kittens--he so enjoys this! Dingie, our oldster Porchie is also doing well. He's amazing!
The Covie cats are doing great! We've been working on their yard to get the winter debris/acorns raked up. The new trees in their playground area are looking good. They have a few new cots and outside beds that they are already enjoying!

The Catathon giving has just blown me away. The generosity of our FFRCNation is astounding. Yesterday we had BOXES and it was by far (other than Kitty Christmas) the biggest BOX day ever. Much was for Catathon.......absolutely wonderful and we are so very grateful! Catathon is now 70 days away!

Catathon is now 70 days away!
We had a group of kids from St. John's LUtheran School that came last weekend to do a service project. They spent time in the Covies, cleaning, picking up sticks, petting the cats. THey also cleaned the picnic tables to get ready for spring! Very nice young people!
Did you know that when Zelda drinks her water, she paws it into her mouth? Yep--almost 100% of the time when she drinks!
