Thursday, May 30, 2019

Kitties everywhere and we're doing the kitty shuffle.  In the early mornings, right after breakfast, all the doors are open--front to back.  That lets the cas get use to one another, starts the journey to stay in the Main Area.  Later in the morning, we still take The Farrah Five, Porch kittens and the 4-SomeT's back to the Back Thumper's Room for the day.  They are all growing and doing well.

The Reservoir kittens are now fully in the Main Area. Their appetites are super! Such fun, happy kittens. 

We took in 5 new cats on this past Sunday.
The Memorial Day Kittens arrived--they are 6 1/2 weeks old.  Mama has since been trapped and is now spayed.  These 3 have just a slight URI and are on antibiotics. They have lots of energy and a big appetite. So very sweet.  Here are their names (from Name a Cat list):
Maggie--female, muted calico, with cream up her nose
Marge--female--black & white, with white up her nose, black nose
Mercury--male--black & white, with white & black up his nose!

Mint--a beautiful slate grey and white cat.  She has white stripes on her upper lip area. When she turns sideways, she looks like she's smiling! She arrived at a friends house, very pregnant. She gave birth to 7 kittens. The 7 kittens will soon be spayed/neutered and family and friends will be taking them. But, Mint came to FFRC!  She is a sweet girl and already in the Main Area. Her birthday is 5/12/18. A young adult with a kind heart.

Bub--a handsome boy, black and white. He arrived here as a 7 week old. His birthday is 4/7/19.  He's already hanging out with the gang that's in the back Thumper's Room kittens. I told him he should be in a condo yet but he didn't agree.  After turning his condo upside down a couple times, we sprung him!  He immediately ran over to the other kittens and started playing. He's a great kitten. A good purr motor and lots of fun ambition! 

We also took back a kitten that was adopted from here in December. Her name is Gidget. She was returned due to family allergies. When she originally arrived here on 10/30/18, she came with her littermates: Becky, Bronco, Griffin, Turbo and Tylor.  Gidget has grown and is doing just fine. I would think she'll be back up to the Main Area in a day or two.

Take care and enjoy this day. Lots of wonderfulness out there for us!
