Friday, Novembe 1, 2019

Happy November day!  This year has gone so very fast.  

Many thanks for the support of our Flash Sale yesterday.  It was wonderful.  We were able to make $1,033, which is great. This will go towards our propane heating cost. What is really awesome about this is that all the items in the sale were donated! That's a huge help! And many thanks to the mods who helped during the sale and to those that helped us "advertise" it. And big thanks to those that purchased the items!  The packages are already flying out the door, to reach you.

Following the Flash Sale, we had BOXES!  The cats and kittens are always grateful to you all--whether is something specifically for their tummies, to something for a sale or to help us with general supplies, it is all appreciated.  You truly make a difference to this Rescue Center.

ResQwalk!  It's a free ap to keep track of your walks, runs or biking. These miles are added together on the ap for FFRC, if you designate Friends of Felines Rescue Center to receive your miles. ResQwalk is funded by generous corporate sponsors! Each quarter, money is proportionally distributed, depending on miles donated!  For this past quarter, we received $79.42!!  More miles means more donations!  Come join in--afterall, it's a win/win.  Good for FFRC and good for you to exercise!

Tomorrow is when DIckens arrives. He's our new in-coming mild CH kitten, beige and seems so sweet.  He will be flying with Billypogo (he and Bonnie have been fostering him).  They will fly into Indianapolis and then drive to Defiance.  Our door and heart is open and ready!

We have progression for the kittens in the back Thumper's Room.  They are now moved into Paddy's Place--Soames, Sara, Scampi, Silky (the 4 white/tiger kittens).  Fio has joined them.  Fio plays with these 4 friends.  After these kittens "anchor" this room as theirs, they will have their door open periodically.  This way, if they need a nap or a safe feeling room, they can go back into Paddys Place.

You may see a young adult cat, a grey/cream torti, up in the Main Area. Her name is Lizzie. Her mama is away on medical needs right now so we promised to care for Lizzie.  FFRC actually helped in this adoption (indirectly) in 2018.  She's a sweetie, for sure. 

We also took on a new young cat. Our awesome dog warden found her and asked us to take her in.  Her name is KaKenya (a Name a cat name). She is 1 1/2 years old, born on 4/15/17.  She arrived at 5.13 and is eagerly eating!  She had fleas and a major load of roundworms and tapeworms but those issues are already being taken care of. KaKenya is a gorgeous black/white cat with some wispy fur--very pretty! 

Desmond will also come up to the Main Area but will be in our double condos. As soon as his morning nap is over, we will bring him up.  This little bitty boy thinks he's actually 10 pounds instead of almost 1 pound.  He's so determined. And eats very well by himself, although he still likes his KMR slurry! His purr motor is like a diesel truck.
