You all simply amaze me beyond anything.  You heard our need for babyfood meat and it is/will be arriving.  Many thank yous for this.  We are conservative in the way we use this babyfood meat but we do have a big need.  We use it in the gruel, in the young kittens food too and for the oldsters and fussy eaters.  A blog on top makes for better appetites!  And we use it for giving meds/supplements--a little mix of baby food makes the medicine go down easier.  I am so thankful.  Truly, our FFRCNation is so generous and giving. 

We've had 2 more adoptions! Ashleigh and Atalia went to their new home. Their new mama has been visiting them (and all the cats) for weeks now. That is so wonderful as these kittens already know who she is.  They were loved by her long ago! All is well in their new home. 

This past Monday was our HumaneOhio day.  A large load of cats were delivered to HumaneOhio--49 total from FFRC.  This was made up of 38 females and 11 males.  Six of the females were from FFRC. We also had 2 voucher surgeries this past week.  Our new total is now 299 spays and 230 neuters--527! Let's keep this going!  We want ALL kittens when born to be able to have a loving h

We did not have BOXES this week but we will on Monday at 2:00! We had quite a few delivered late Friday afternoon!

We have thank yous to give!----
Graeme R--donation to FFRC
Donavon S--donation for the kitties
Hallie G--donation to FFRC
Tracy L--donation for FFRC

Tracy, our volunteer--8 cans of Friskies and 13 cans Fancy Feast

Fairview Human Growth & Development also presented FFRC with many handmade blankets and handmade pillowcases. These were made by approx. 60 students as a service project to FFRC! We appreciate this!
Our Catribution is in full force--a way of donating for Catathon.  It's called 4-fur!  Become a 4-fur-er simply by making a donation to FFRC, from $1 to $50.  Your amount, from an anonymous friend, will be 4-fured.  Let's say you donate $1--it becomes $4!  If you donate $50--it becomes $200.  It's amazable how this works! This will end on June 21 so we have time to get figures done before Catathon (June 23).  Just mark on your paypal or check that it's a Catribution for 4-fur!  Super big thanks to our Catathon Anonymous Friend!

More Catathon things coming up on Monday and Tuesday.  Actually, I'm going to try and get the info in on Sunday evening.  It's called Catathon FaceBook Auction (CFBA).  It's done at noon on Tuesday and will be on ONE FFRC facebook site--Friends of Felines Rescue Center.  We have to keep to one site so all bids can easily be seen by all.  It's an open auction--starting bid is $25.  Can raise the bid in $10 increments.  There will be 7 items! All you have to do is keep bumping up the bid to get it, right there on the post! Pictures will be posted.  These items will go out next week to the winning bidders!  These 7 items were donated for Catathon!

This week we had a visit by some Defiance High School students. They did some service projects for us and then came in and petted the cats and kittens. They will be back on Thursday to help us again!

Yesterday, today and Sunday, FFRC is doing the concessions for our local Dance Studio for their annual recital! We use this as a fundraiser. And some really great news--Shoneys here in Defiance has provided us with shirts for the volunteers working the concessions and all the ice we need plus the napkins, plates, etc.  We are very grateful to them. This helps alot.

We took in 3 new kittens known as the Double J litter. They had been found outside with no mama and brought to FFRC.  Their birthday is 5/7/19.  They were 4 weeks old upon arrival.  SUch sweet babies. They appear to be medium furred. Their names are from Name a Cat.
Jay Money--male, gray and white
Janine Elise--female, black tiger & white, ASH
Janelle Eileen--female, black tiger, ASH
They are in the back Thumper's Room, top two condos so they have plenty of room to waddle about! 

Each morning, we have been letting the entire kittens have the door open from the back to the Main Area. They sure love to run, jump and fly about! They get all this freedom for a few hours and then the door closes. This is to keep the smaller ones safe from busy feet. 

A week from today is our next FFRC spay/neuter date. Will be a full, busy day. 

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. Thank you again for what you do for this Rescue Center! You truly do make a difference to us.
