Today is the last day for the 4-fur! That's where you can make a donation from $1 to $50 and it will become a 4-furred. Example: $1 becomes $4. $50 becomes $200! All thanks to a wonderful FFRC friend who has made this possible! These amounts will also be added into the grand total.
Today Arthur Phone Company will come around 10:00 ish to hook up the 7 lines that we will need for the Catathon! That's always a fun time. We need cam help on this. Once cables are hooked up, we will give a thumbs up--and then YOU can flood the line at 419-393-2400. It'll only take a couple minutes. This will help us to be sure phones are working properly and the roll-over is doing it's thing.
We have put the bidding boards together and they are ready! On Monday, we put these boards on their tables and moved the cam to make sure that all works. I must say--that cam has an awesome picture. The numbers on the bidding board were nice and clear! We also checked the cam that will be on the phone people (at times) and that too is ready.
Tables were put up just to make sure the phone people's position is accurate. Things changed for this year due to our renovation! Looks good.
The big screen TV that will go under the shelter house for visitors to watch will arrive tomorrow, Friday. Rent a Center is donating this rental to FFRC! Werlor's (our trash picker-uppers) will be here Friday as well to take an extra load from us.
HEAR YE, HEAR YE---today is the last day to pre-register! It's simple to do--takes less than a minute! Just go to our website at fofrescue.org and click on Pre-Registration. Tha way, even if you are thinking of bidding, it will shorten your time on the phone! Thanks so much! Pre-registration ends at 3:00 pm today.
Catathon Pre-Registration surprise! As an added incentive to pre-registering, we have a surprise. Afterall, it benefits you and FFRC to do this! During Catathon, all the names will be in a container and a name will be pulled. The prize: a cloth FFRC satchel, cat toys, cat crinkle tunnel and a crate pad!

This past Monday we had our HumaneOhio surgery day. We sent up 31 cats! This broke down to 14 males and 17 females. Many thanks to Lynnette, Donnajb, MaryBraid and Becky M for helping with check ins. It's a very busy 40 minutes or so, to just get all the cats checked in. After check ins, we double check paperwork, count cats and double check the count of cats and then load them up on the big Neuter mobile for their transport to HumaneOhio.
We had several adoptions this week so far!
6/16--Mr. McWiggles went into his new home. Such a gorgeous cat and will have all the attention he wants from his new mama.
6/16--Velveteen went to her new family. She has kids in this family to love her. I believe they loved her the moment they set their eyes on her!
6/17--Marge & Mercury has their new home! I've seen pictures of them watching out the patio doors. They sure look happy!
6/17--Susie Q & Stetson went to their new home together. This family picked these two kittens out weeks ago and have been patiently waiting to take them. They have visited them often.
6/18--Valiant was adopted to a family where he will have lots of attention. This is one of the sweetest kittens ever.
Manville will be going to his new home today. Gracie O'Malley will be going to her new home tomorrow! Yeah for adults being adopted!
WE have also taken in a few more cats:
PD--grey tiger/white, male. Volunteer Donnajb was coming here Monday morning early and saw him laying on Power Dam road (hence his name). He was ON the road, laying. She thought maybe he wasn't even alive. When she approached him, he got up, came, purred and was fine! He has conquered us all--super nice young cat. His birthday is 7/4/19. PD is a grey tiger/white. He went up to HumaneOhio to be neutered on the day he arrived.
Squidjie--a Lynx point siamese. He was found in a yard, laying on his side, bleeding from his rear end area. The person didn't know what happened. He had fleas and very bloody urine. He's on antibiotics and all soft food. Is now eating better. His birthday is 5/14/17. Such a handsome boy with magnificent blue eyes.
Disco--female, white and gray tiger with 5 dots on his back. She is about 9 weeks old and was wandering around for a bit, all by himself. She had fleas and was very hungry. Really sweet kitten. Her birthday is 4/16/19.
And yes, we do have a new mama and 2 babies, but for right now, holding information. Their health isn't the best. Thank you in advance for understanding.
Today, BOXES are at 1:00. Due to the busy-ness of Catathon, we did not have boxes earlier this week, so there's quite a few! Bring a snack, a drink, prop your feet up and enjoy!
Onward to Catathon! Have a terrific day!
