Wow--we sent up 51 pets to HumaneOhio today! This is 50 cats and 1 dog. This includes 6 kittens of FFRC. The 50 cats break down to 37 females and 13 males. The 1 dog is a female. This brings our 2019 total to 677 (this is 674 cats and 3 dogs)--400 spays and 277 neuters! We're keeping on with this project of spaying and neutering!
This Saturday is our FFRC surgery day! We tentatively have these spays on the list: Prelie, Precious, Tinora and possibly Belle scheduled for this date. The neuters are: Fern, Pierre, Sydney, Gunner, Pepper and Watson. Physicals already scheduled are for: Elsie, Jessie, Kiara, Magic, Ramsay and Hope.
Hope is doing super great--she's got it--she knows how to eat from a plate now! And she sure does enjoy it. She's doing very good in the house and even knows where the litterboxes are already!
Mama Belle is doing great. She's a good mama. Her 4 look-alike kittens are toddling all over the two condos now! They are just beginning to sample some "real" food.
Tinora's foot continues to heal--she barely has a limp. And she sure knows how to rock and roll! Her laceration on her front arm is almost healed--possibly may have a scar. Such a sweetie.
Yaseen is also doing super. Such a sweetie. And she's so good with the kittens. She is a good auntie cat to all of the kittens. She is now on hold.
We took in 2 new kittens.
Dali--a gorgeous female, grey tiger/white, medium fur. Dali is 12 weeks old, with a birthday of 4/19/19. She was brought in by a volunteer who saw her cross our main street uptown, going from Meek's Pastry to the Cabin Fever. And she didn't get hit by a car! Super friendly and a constant purr-er! She arrived 7/12/19.
Collins--a handsome dark orange and white male, about 11 months old. A volunteer found him in her neighborhood. He's very kind and so friendly. His birthday is 8/9/19. He arrived 7/13/19.
Both names are from the Name a Cat list.

We've heard from Aladdin's new family. His new name is Oliver. The picture they sent is wonderful--shows a happy kitten. Remember when he was here, he was a bit shy and we worked alot on that. From the mom--"Thank you so much. He is such a love bug and we say every day how blessed we are that he picked us and how blessed that you rescued him and cared for him".
Another repair bill coming up. The air conditioner is not working (again) in Paw Mart and the back Thumper's Room. The kittens are rather "flat", staying low to the floor. We've just opened the doors from front to back, inviting them to the Main Area where it's cooler.
The Dodger truck also had a repair bill. It had become a bit unsafe to drive. It's all fixed now. We use this truck alot for supplies. Also for recycling our aluminum for FFRC.
A week from today will begin the floor repair. The entire Main Area, all rooms connected to that area plus the Welcome Room and bathroom will be completely stripped down and done all over again. We will have 4 full days of being displaced here at FFRC, but we can do it!
Take care..........stay cool! Sounds like we have a very hot and humid week coming up. We are also working on dates for our next Flash Sale (by Mich and Vern) and a Fun-Raiser! As soon as we know these dates, we'll get them to you!
