Citrine is coming out of her pen more and more. We leave her condo pen open with a Kuranda Tower in front of it. She roams in and out thru out the day.She's in the front Thumper's Room. We're hoping soon she will be ready to come up front!
Oliver Taylor Blackwell's sutures are now out. I believe instead of losing a leg, he gained wings. That boy can fly! And he's so agile and smooth. What a really nice kitten!
We have been busy outside getting things set for Spring. Happy day--the windchimes are hanging up again and look so pretty! The blue table and chairs are at the entrance door--waiting now for visitors and volunteers to sit and chat. The red heat lamps are unplugged but ready for next winter. The shelter house is beginning to be set for the warm weather too. Love this time of year!
Farrah is doing good. I can tell she's a bit more quiet this week. Her body is probably adjusting to her new med program. Her respirations/color/heart rate are all good. There is no doubt she is a survivor and a fighter. And she knows she is so well loved by all of us.
Our Quickie Flash Sale on Tuesday was wonderful. It made $547 for FFRC. And the neat thing about this is, our one flea prevention bill is almost exactly that amount! Many thanks for making this payment! Big thanks too to everyone who donated those items, those that bought the items and to Lynnette and Marcia.
I've heard from quite a few of the Abel Inkies. Sounds like all are doing great and have adjusted to their new homes very quickly. Best news is that they are all feeling good!
