FFRC took on the responsibility of ownership for a 11 1/2 year old snowshoe lynx point siamese cat. He has lived in a nursing home for the past 3 years with his mama. She passed away a week ago tomorrow. Family asked us to take him on. He's right now acclimating to us, in the front Thumper's Room. They brought his mom's quilt that had been on her all week--so that will help. He's a sweetie and should someone want to take him into their home, that is fine with the family. He's a big boy,  His name is Tuffy.  He's doing very well but we will let him tell us when he's ready to meet and greet the cats in the Main Area.

We had BOXES on Thursday! We so love BOXES!  Many thanks.

We've had 4 more adoptions!
Tux & Ananya---went to their new home with a mom & 2 sons in the family that have visited many times to get to know these two kittens before adoption! An awesome home where there will be tons of playtime and holding! 

Freida--officially adopted!  So very happy about this. A foster failure that was anticipated to happen!  Freida has been a shy girl and now her new mama has quickly made it official--Freida will stay with her forever!  She is responding to this wonderful 24/7 TLC

Foster--went to his new home with an FFRC friend.  Foster was rather smitten with his new mama from the beginning here--would purr and paw at her for attention!

Yes, our numbers are coming down. We have had amazing amount of adoptions for December and January and now are able to get the teenagers and adults adopted. Our adoptable cats are now getting low!  What a wonderful thing to have happen........all before kitty season starts! So......for now, we are enjoying the quietness, the less rooms to clean (we've closed Paddys Place and Kitty Campus for now), the lighter "load" in litterboxes, smaller meals to serve, etc. It won't last long!  
Won't be long until we move the P kittens to Paddy's Place. They are finally gaining a good weight and are so active. They are also all 4 super fun! Pinkerton is still the smallest but he is the most orneriest. Pueblo loves his purple mama.  Panthy was the first to climb the tall pole. Peppe was the first to climb the slant board to the cat furniture! 

Monday starts our Feb. fun-raiser!  We have had 8 x 8 canvas pictures donated to FFRC of our residents. They are super nice--pictures are clear and great poses of our FFRC cats!  Check out the fb pages for info and on the cam too! 

Have a wonderful weekend!
