Chaps--from her new mama--haps is doing well. He is a a bit skittish still but he is coming out, eating and using his litterbox. He has started talking. He and I played a bit the first night. He wants love. He will com out and snuggle. He meows when I call him. He is such a nice baby. All the cats are getting along.
Jewell Elizabeth--from her new mama--Her new name is Athena and she is settling in nicely. She has been exploring. She gets along with the dog great. Athena slept next to me which was really sweet. She's eating well and using the litterbox fine. We are absolutely in love with her.
And this morning, Lizzie will be adopted! Another wonderful new home!

We took on a new kitten. Her name is Kimmie, a Name a Cat name. Kimmie is a sweet girl, a brown tiger with 4 white feet and chest. She was found by a couple 4 weeks ago. She is one of the rare kittens that arrive with some vet work already done! Her birthday is 8/27/19 and is 14 weeks old. She so loves people.
These sad news events are terribly hard to deal with. We lost a Covie, Rowland late last night. He has been in the front Thumper's Room 3 times in the last 2 1/2 weeks. Rowland was 16 1/2 years old. We knew he was certainly showing his age--not very energetic, appetite off. But, his pulse and respirations were good and so was his color and he still was eating. So, after 2 short stays, he went back out to his home, the Cove. Monday was different--he was brought up again and this time, more details could be found. His heart was "off", his respirations very fast, his back legs wouldn't work and he was very very tired. Life was no longer fun and after a conversation with our vet, she felt that this was another cardiomyopathy and that he threw a saddleblock clot. These decisions are very very hard. But, living with back legs that do not work and being made to live in an atmosphere that is totally not his home, is not the way for Rowland. He peacefully left us and we shall miss him terribly.
Rowland arrived at FFRC as a 1 year old on 5/11/04. His birthday was 5/11/03. He was such a lovey boy and so sweet and ornery! He was one of the "rulers" of the Cove. His name was originally Rolland but we would also write Rowland too because when he would roll on the ground it would look like he was rowing! In 2005, before we had our Covie playground and THTJB, he was loose on the property. He was hit by a car, right in the parking lot and had to have a button surgery to correct his lip droopage. He also fractured his pelvis at that time. But, he healed quickly and resumed his place as one of the Covie bosses. Rowland was everyone's friend and would great all the visitors and love being in a lap. We sure loved this boy.
We have more thanks to give--
Rita DC--donation to FFRC, in memory of her sisters cat Tiny Toe.
Ferole--donation in honor of Dooey!
Harm B--donation to FFRC
Shannan W--donation for FFRC
Kimkost--donation to FFRC to help towards the replacement of all the fire extinguishers here. After talking to the fire chief, we realized our fire extinguishers had probably exceeded their time to be the most effective. We have 15 of them and are replacing them for safety reasons.
We had two more adoptions--Maggie and Sadie. I couldn't do these on cam or mention it until now. They were adopted 12/2 to a family that has visited them a couple times. These two kittens were given to a different family member that has seen them from the cam and so wanted them! The family made this possible for the young lady! I've already heard back and both kittens have settled in nicely.
Today is Trivia day at 5:00 this afternoon. The theme will be announced this afternoon! Have fun.
