I'm sitting here with a little sweetie in my lap--Fio. He had his big surgery yesterday--removal of both eyes due to disease. I imagine he has a bit of a headache today but he's doing good. He's napping right now which is good--healing is happening for him. He's taking his meds (antibiiotics and soreness meds) like a good boy. We helped him with breakfast this morning early but I would think he'll be gobbling his food soon, as is his normal.
Yesterday was our surgery day.
We did 9 neuters: Soames, Timax, Fio. Plus, we did 6 neuters for volunteers.
We did 6 spays: Gemma, Matisse, Scampi, KaKenya, Penny Lane, Lena, LuLu.
We did not do Jewel Elizabeth because she has a spay incision scar. We also cancelled Chardonnay's spay--she had a little bit of congestion--rather wait and be safe.
We also did a few physicals:
Dooey--good. Except.......he has a problem.........known as "Let's Get Into Jacci's House"!! Have to find this awesome cat a home!
Dune--very good
Dutchess--good
Asha--good
Marilyn--good, only a tiny "squeak" heard in regards to her heart.
We are now at 1,033 spays/neuters for 2019. 610 females and 423 males!
And then we come to our sweet girl, Dizzy. As you know, she arrived with severe stomatitis. Before she arrived, Dr. P had all of her teeth removed due to the stomatitis. With antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, we've been able to keep her comfortable. But.......things have changed. She now has cancer in her mouth and it's very fast growing. We were also aware this was happening and have been keeping her comfortable. What a wonderful cat she is. I don't know what her life had been like before she was found, taken to Dr. P and then to FFRC. But, we love her and she sooooo enjoys being loved on. I feel her time with us will be short---she will be doted on.
We took on a new teenager cat yesterday. She had actually found her way to a friend of mine. While we were full, she kept this cat and brought her to FFRC yesterday, as planned. Her name is LuLu. She's a bold, colorful calico. She is 7 months old with a birthday of 4,24,19. She will be up in the main area soon. LuLu is a sweetie and will fit right in.
We have thanks to give! And I'm STILL very thankful PayPal is up and working!

This Tuesday is Trivia!
This Weds. is our Flash Sale at noon. Lots of great items!
And this Friday is our Fiver Friday--all donations made on this day, will go towards Feliz Navidad Fund and our other medical needs. We hope to have things all morning, afternoon and evening to show you, read to you and have fun. We'll pop on the cam often to read special stories, show you our medical supplies that we need for the cats and supplies and individual stories too of the cats and kitties! Our cat chart is ready to show the results!
Dune has now come up to the Main Area. He can climb, trot and is making good kitty friends!
Desmond and Donell are such good friends! We're still working on Donell, to be more accepting of us and it's working. Desmond is rubbing off on him!
We've had 4 recent adoptions!
Nocoma was adopted yesterday. She has a special mom and her son. They spotted her at the Oopen House and that was all it took! I will miss her on my desk--she was such a great helper!
Lorha was adopted yesterday She went with a wonderful new mom and dad. This couple is who brought us wonderful vinyl stickers a couple weeks ago. And yesterday, they brought a replacement sticker for the wheel. The other one (from Goss) finally wore out. I am very grateful for this new one! Lorha will have kitty friends in her new family.
Rosiland was adopted too yesterday! A great home with a good family. She will be well loved (I think she was loved already by her new people!).
Brrring was adopted 11/8. He is going to be one very happy and wonderfully spoiled kitten!
Upcoming adoptions this week: KaKenya, Gemma and Evans, Tangle, Elsie, Apple Jack and Aleesha. I'll try and keep you informed as things happen. And remember.......things can also change!
Take care and enjoy this beautiful Fall day!
