Fiver Friday. Wow--it was First-class, Fantastic, Fabulous and 100% Fine!! One of the most awesomest days ever for FFRC.

Our Chain of Compassion, which consists of each name of the donors, was measured at 47 feet!! It is still hanging up, looped across the FFRC near the ceiling.
Now, where in the world can I find enough thank yous to give? It's not possible so I will give my most deepest, sincerest, heartfelt thank you to you......our awesome FFRCNation. It's a true blessing to have this cushion for our Feliz Navidad Fund. Every dollar will go towards the need of a cat or kitten, to help with medical needs. And actually, we already dipped into this fund. The reason......
......our little Fio had to go back to the vet's office yesterday for another surgery. A tiny wee blood vessel was leaking and the blood was accumulating behind his incision of his right eye. Dr. Darcy stayed after hours to help Fio. A new incision was done, removal of the blood clot and the blood vessel found and clamped off. He is doing fantastic and is already on the floor playing and having fun. Many thanks to Elizabeth and Angie for taking him to the vets office and bringing him home.
Please know how utterly grateful I am to our FFRCNation. I am always humbled by your generosity, your compassion and that you really do love our cats and kitties too.
We had 3 adoptions yesterday!
Aleesha and Applejack went with their new mom and dad. This couple was so ready to take their kitties home! It was wonderful to see. And I always love when siblings go together. They were loved from the moment they were chosen!
Matisse went to a family that was very excited to have her in their home. I've already seen pictures of her in the new home--complete acceptance and much love is there.
And today...........a most special adoption. Elsie will be traveling with her new mama to her new home. Everything that Elsie is familiar with here and is on her list of favorites, is awaiting her at her new home! Robin will be here around 10:00 to visit the cats and kitties again. And then the departure time from here is around noon. Elsie and I've had a talk--she is truly ready for this adventure. What a day she will have--car rides and a plane ride. Robin has done her homework and has everything under control. We have all of Elsie's traveling papers ready. Remember too that Robin has a facebook page for Elsie and her other 2 cats! We'll keep you all informed of the travel progress today.
We have more thanks to give!

Tomorrow is our HumaneOhio day. We are hoping for a full truckload to take up! We love these spay/neuter days. Tomorrow is also our Advisory Board Meeting. Plus, we will be doing BOXES at 1:00. Full, busy day!
We also started our November Fun-Raiser today. These funds will go towards our utility bills--electric, propane gas and sewer bill. We have 8 awesome items. Think Christmas! We will have BOXES on Weds. at 2:00 with the Drawing and Consolation Prizes following that. More information on Facebook and also shown on a video on our cam.
Little Desmond and Donell are doing wonderful! They are both down on the floor now, fairly often during the day. They are eating good, growing and are silly kittens. Such personalities!
We have a new cat. His name is Charnie Bear---a very handsome boy. He is part Persian, is silver grey and checked in at 10 pounds. He lived in a house his whole life. The other cats in the house liked to pick on Charnie Bear (a Name a Cat name). The owner didn't want Charnie to be afraid so he asked if FFRC could take him. He is 1 year and 9 months old. His birthday is 2/1/18. You'll have to check out his whiskers--they are super long. Such a nice cat.
Enjoy this day.
