We had BOXES on Weds! A wonderful fun time. We love BOXES!
But before that, we had storytime. The first story was called Vernon and the Old West, by Cindy G. A wonderful story where Vernon dreamt he was a rootin' tootin' cowboy! Some of the rescue cats were also involved in the story!
The second story was a wonderful book called "My Name is Bob", by James Bowen. Another good story. More stories coming up in our future!

Minerva, Jessie, Cutie, Lucie and all the FFRC kitties send you all headbutts & sandpaper kisses. You all are awesome. You heard a plea for help with the Medicinal Monday event (which was a spontaneous fun-raiser that took on a life of it's own!). The latest 5 cats that came to FFRC meant alot of meds and foods that our specialty cats would eat. Any donations above the cost for these 5 cats will go into our Feliz Navidad Fund for future needs. We put the special foods in one of our condos with it marked --for Minerva, Jessie, Cutie and Lucie. They and I are thankful.
And this Medicinal Monday brought in a wonderful amount of donations--totally blew me away. It was even hard to absorb all of this kindness---the cats had to help by absorbing lots of that kindness too!! Are you ready for this...............better sit down!!! The total is $5765. wow, wow, wow--and the cats say purr, purr, purr!! We are sincerely and enormously thankful!
We have more thanks to give too!

We did something we don't usually do here today. We opened a few boxes off cam. Since I am leaving tomorrow and we knew these boxes were food items, we thought it would be ok to open them!
Rob & Michelle B--12 pk. bisque treats, 24 cans Gerber baby food
Anonymous Friend--4 of 24 pk Friskies with extra Gravy
Eaglewatcher--4 of 8 pks Lil' Soups
JBond--a wonderful bunch of lotions, bath bombs, etc. (I get to take on vacation with me!!)
We had a quickie Flash Sale on Tuesday--all leggydews and biggydews! It was wonderful. 100% of them sold--15 leggys and 15 biggys! This brought in $405!!! Many thanks to our blankie maker and to all those that purchased them and to the flash mods!
We had 3 adoptions yesterday! I had expected these adoptions later today but "time and things" made a change and it happened earlier.
Brooke--our spay from Saturday. She went to a home that was very eager to have her. She will return once more for a few more treatments. I heard from the new mama this morning and all is well. And that Brooke has a booming purr!
Cary and Kinsley--they went together to a person that had asked us to help find a couple kitten siblings--this was perfect. Cary and Kinsley had a host of URI symptoms when they arrived. They responded quickly to the antibiotics which were sent home for their continued care,. I received pictures of them in their new homes--lounging on the wide window seat bench and watching some squirrels out the patio door!
Steve and I will be leaving tomorrow morning and returning late 3/14 or 15. During this time off, my phone use will be very limited (for emails, messages, etc.) As many of you know, on the 15th, we will be taking in a litter of kittens. We have already been working on this litter--they have already received 2 wormers and their Bordatella. They are healthy, sweet and of course...........cute!
Everything is all set for our vacation--all volunteers are on deck and extra chores have been given out! All is good, cats are looking forward to this week too (they usually get extra spoiled!!)
Minerva update..........We have to remember this is a very old cat and all of her complications have most definitely taken a toll on her. She is eating some better. She loves her soft beds and her purple mama. Her appetite isn't the greatest but she keeps at it. She's what we call a "social eater"--likes to have us humans there while she eats (and which we do!). She has given us so much joy already.
Take care, see you all on the 15th!
