Elsie is doing wonderful in her new home. The travel to Colorado went smoothly--no problems anywhere along the line. I've heard from Robin a couple times along with pictures. Elsie has settled in beautifully. This is another proof, that if these cats are given love, a good feeling about themselves and confidence, MOST of them can find their very own home!
We had another adoption also. Our Dutchess went to her new home yesterday, 11/19. Dutchess spent the far majority of her home in the front Thumper's Room. I have a feeling that she had been an outside cat but seemed to be enjoying an inside way of living. A family came and saw her and thought they would really like to have her as their new pet. Her adoption took place where Dutchess was comfortable at---the Thumper's Room. They have a really nice wrap around enclosed porch that she will have access to, if she would like to.
Fio is doing awesome. Just a tiny bubble now on the right eye. And that is slowly going down. Today he gets the sutures out from the left eye. He stays out now 24/7 and is doing just fine. Ornery, playful, confident. What a great little guy.
The two littlest, Desmond and Donell are also doing great. Growing, eating good. They both go in the double lower condo in the main area for night time.
Monday was our HumaneOhio spay/neuter day. Our numbers were a bit lower than usual. We sent up 28 cats. 20 were females and 8 were males. Our total so far for 2019 is 1061.

We have heard from Lorha's new family. Her new name is Holly. They say she is doing so good at fitting in. She's a loving purring machine and let's them know when she's hungry!
We have taken on a new adult cat. Her name is Zini, a Name a Cat name. She is a muted torti and is ever so nice. Her birthday is 10/14/18. She has the largest abdominal hernia we have ever seen, including our vet. She had been in a person's yard for a week. When they petted her, they noticed this huge hernia and asked if we could help her. Her surgery is scheduled for this Monday.
Charnie Bear is doing wonderful. He's up and about in the Main Area. Such a handsome guy. He seems very comfortable with the other cats and with people.

I have some sad news to pass along:
August, our CH Covie cat has made his way to The Rainbow Bridge. He had a urinary plug that became very bad, very quickly. I spoke to Dr. Darcy about different options, none of which were good. Because he was outside and basically liked to stay away from people most of the time, it would be impossible to treat. To give him daily meds would not be a "thing" that August would like or tolerate. To add to the problem, we could not make sure that he only got the special food that he would be required to have. To bring him up to the main area was not an option--it was not his home and he would not be happy. A PU (perineal urethrostomy) surgery was not agreeable either as it would still take care and would take careful watch and observation afterwards which was not something that would be feasible with him. All in all, we did not want his life to be filled with medicines, special diet, change in his lifestyle--all things that August would not like. I am of the belief that we do not do things to a cat that would not be enjoyable to that cat. August loved his life as a Covie. He and Jackson came to FFRC together.
We also have an update on Matisse. She is doing wonderful and is loved so very much. She just slipped right into their home and made it hers as well. I've also seen pictures of Aleesha and Applejack--they too look so comfortable and happy in their new home.
Just an FYI--our sweet Jewel Elizabeth is on hold and will be adopted on the 30th.
Join us today at 2:00 for BOXES and the drawing for our Fun-Raiser, followed by Consolation Prizes. This fun-raiser will go towards our electric bill, the sewer bill and the propane bill.
