Weds., May 15, 2019

Happy day, the sun is shining!  Temps still cool but it's wonderful to see that sun!  The Porchies and Covies love rolling on the warm cement!  The grass is growing for the horses, goat and donkey.  We still have lots and lots of big water puddles but the ducks and geese ar enjoying that!

Pandora and Pansaroo are doing wonderful. They are little chubbies--just how we like them. And best news of all--they are now sleeping thru the night!  That helps me alot!  They are now almost 3 1/2 weeks old  and sure can waddle around!  Yesterday, one went thru the door when a volunteer opened it.  We heard a little squeakkkkkkkk--help.  Opened the door and she ran as fast as her little legs could go, right back into the lap!  

We also took on a new calico mama on Monday.  She came with 4 kittens.  They had been found in a yard, all together.  A family took them in, fed them for a few days and then brought to FFRC.  All are sweet and appear to be healthy.  They are known as the 4-some T's.
Toulouse--mama, calico tiger
Tily--female, white with gray
Toronto--male, buff and white
Tobias--male, orange tiger/white
Ting--male, tiger and white

We have a busy back Thumper's Room.  Kayala's kittens are starting to "fall" out of their big bed. Eyes are open.  Tummies are full. These are the Farrah kittens.  The Reservoir kittens are doing very well.  We've been doing more TLC and it shows--seems to be enjoying people more.  Soon, they will be in the Main Area.  These 7 are high energy and dare devils!  When they are not napping, they are on the move! 

We had BOXES on Monday! Wonderful, awesome boxes!  Many thanks.
