The kitties received an early Thanksgiving meal! Thanks to Patrick and Vicki who baked a turkey just for the cats and kitties. They have had snackers of turkey a couple times this week! And now, they have another special Thanksgiving meal for Thursday, from the Fur Haven Cats too!
We had our Fun-Raiser on Weds. It was awesome. Sometimes my thank yous are hard to say in the magnitude that I want them to be. This FFRCNation that we have is amazing and so very supportive. You all make me want to do the very best that I can for each and everyone of these kitties and cats. I thank you for making it possible for what we do here.

Fio had one set of sutures removed. A couple more days and the other set will also be gone. He did a jump from the kuranda tower and landed square on! Desmond and Donell are both gaining weight. And that little Donell is finally realizing that we are friends!
Zini, the newest grey/cream torti is now up and about in the Main Area. She's doing good--seems relaxed. Her surgery for that very large hernia has been changed a couple times. It is now scheduled for December 2, a Monday.
I wanted to give an update on Dizzy. She has had two weeks here since Dr. Darcy saw her again. And they've been a good 2 weeks. Her appetite has been good, she has gained weight. But the truth is also still there--her cancer in her mouth is growing. So........we've been doing good holding, petting, feeding and loving on her.
All is good here. The kittens are growing, the cats are happy, more adoptions coming up!
