Weds., October 30, 2019

All are welcome to our OPEN HOUSE this Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00.  Come join us! We are so happy to be taking care of cats for 20 years!  All rooms will be open for a tour--inside and outside.  Refreshments will also be served. Come meet the Residents, those up for adoptions, the Covies, Porchies, Firecats and the Barnies! 

Today is a busy day---Flash Sale at noon and BOXES are at 2:00.  Bring your refreshments, kick your feet up and have some fun with us! 

Our window for fall weather is getting smaller.  Heavy rain coming in today.  Next week is much cooler temperatures. 

Our Trunk o Treat at Shoney's was fun.  Not a huge amount of kids, but still fun. And it was good PR for the Rescue Center! The kids were so cute, all dressed up!

We've had an update on Avianna--" Avianna has adjusted so well in the house, it actually amazes me.  She had no fear....just curiosity. She is doing great even Xena has rubbed noses with her already"  All is well in Avianna's world!

Truly, it's not my fault.  My papers are being totally messed up.  I remind the kitties that these papers and notes are important to me.  Right now, one is chewing on a PawMart order.  Two kittens are trying to knock down my postie notes.  Timax is trying to eat the mouse on the screen.  And Chaps is belly crawling on my desk to dig under the pile of papers.  So...........what is there to do about this?  Actually, nothing!  They are too funny and entertaining! 

I've heard from Elsie's new-mama-to-be.  She will be here mid November to adopt Elsie.  

We now have Lorha on hold. 

FFRCNation.com     From Goss/Linda L---This week I performed some much needed maintenance on the FFRC Nation website. The site was using two different pieces of software to have both a website and a forum. The forum is VERY difficult to keep updated. I made the executive decision to lock down the old forum and make it read only. Everything is still there for our history. I then created a new forum where people can still see what is happening at FFRC and they can participate by commenting or chatting on the site as usual. In no way was the decision to make the old forum read only related to personal changes on the site. It was a maintenance nightmare that I've been struggling with for a long time. I hope people will still visit the site and be part of the community there.  If you created a login before, it should still work.  If it doesn't sign up for a new one!   Linda--many thanks for all the work you're doing on this site.  

Desmond is doing super!  He loves to snuggle under his blankies in his pen for his naps and bedtime.  He does get down on the floor with his new friends.  He's a toughie and a sweetie!

We have taken on 4 new kittens.  A family found a cat that was pregnant.  She had her kittens.  We had agreed a couple weeks ago to take the babies IF mama would be spayed.  They are planning on keeping her and bringing her here for our next spay/neuter day. They were born on 8/25/19 and arrived here on 10/27/19.  Other than fleas, they appear very healthy. Fleas are gone!  Names are from the Name a Cat list.
Sara--female, big tiger blotch back of head
Scampi--female, on forehead has a white stripe and white dot that is tiger
Soames--male, small tiger dot on back of head
Silky--female, very slick fur, 2 stripes alongside her ears
All of these kittens are white with tigery marks.  They are known as the S litter.

Have a great day!
