It's only Weds. but seems like such a long week. The cats and kittens are all doing great. Today we have 2 adoptions--Zyny and Zyvan will go to seperate (and wonderful!) homes. Tomorrow, our Pinkerton will be also going to his new home.
Basani and her 3 kittens are doing great. Won't be long until they start tumbling out of their big bed on the floor. A toe abscess was discovered on Basani's foot. It's been drained, scrubbed and already looks better. She is on antibiotics.
Kimmie and her 5 kittens are also doing great. Those kittens are already wobbling towards the edge of their big bed. Won't be long until they are toddling about.
We "lost" Winston for 2 full, very long days. Couldn't find him anywhere. We searched the usual places he likes and inside all the sheds. No Winston. This so upset us.......not knowing is so hard and worrisome. I went out this morning to feed the Porchies and there he was--soaking up the heat from the red light. He looks a bit roughed up but nothing that petting won't fix! Gave that boy a super big hug!
I'm sorry to also tell you one of our Porchies has past away. Our sweet Rory has had a bad respiratory problem but that was manageable. But then he became plugged and couldn't urinate. Unfortunately he was 100% plugged. After much discussion with Dr. Darcy, it was decided to let our Rory go. The PU surgery, the treatment, the prognosis, the long term health plan wasn't to his advantage.
Rory arrived 2/24/12 at 9 months of age. He was trapped behind the police station by a couple volunteers. What a dear cat he always was. He has always been a loved Covie. He sure is missed.

Many thanks to the mods for the Trivia from last night. There's another one on Thursday! Tonight, Billypogo will be having storytime at 9 pm. Come join the fun!
Monday we had a SOCK fb flash sale. It was wonderful and the socks have been sold! This went towards another utility bill! We will continue to have these small but so helpful fb flash sales!
Did you know that everytime you purchase anything from Amazon, whether it's for yourself, FFRC or anyone, that you can benefit FFRC? It's true! When you order, if you go to our website at fofrescue.org you can click on AMAZON (on the gold bar) and it'll take you to Amazon. Anything you order, gives a bit of a donation to FFRC! We just received our January donation--it came to $264.65. That's like free money! Many thanks.
I want to acknowledge that I realize these times, for the whole world, are very difficult right now. Each day holds so many different emotions. We hear the sad stories and then we hear the wonderful stories of what people do for each other. And that is key. There are many ways to help others while still keeping that social distance. Here at FFRC, we have dealt with the death of 3 wonderful cats (Minerva, Rory and Merri). We lost and then found Winston. We have had our utility bills covered. We worry--can we keep on having our volunteers come? We don't want any of the volunteers getting sick. I see BOXES arrive and envelopes arrive and it gives me encouragement. I see our chatters enjoying each other on the cam. I see our fb friends lifting each other up. I'm just so grateful to be a part of this FFRCNation.
Like I've said before...........when this is over.........watch out! FFRC will be back in full force! In the meantime, wash your hands lots (and remember to lotion up too!). Keep that social distance.....so very important. And get outside for a bit of fresh air everyday. And also important--give your pets lots of TLC!
