We had 2 more adoptions!
Sweet, beautiful VIenne was adopted on 7/22. She went into a home with two wonderful people that have always enjoyed rescue pets. I've already seen a picture--Vienne is on the back of the couch napping with one of the dogs in front of the couch, both looking content. So love it when an adult gets adopted!
Briant was also adopted, 7/23. A family came in and fell for him. But it helped that he was ever so sweet and showed them that he was ready to go home with them!
We have also taken in 2 new cats.
Marietta--calico of white, black, gold colors and a white tip tail! She was found all by herself and wanting some loving, on a road. The first thing I saw was this kitten on her back, in the crook of an arm, pawing the air with her feet! Marietta arrived very thin and a few wounds on her back legs. She is sincerely such a happy girl! She's already in the Main Area, playing with the other kittens. She has a possible hold already. Her birthday is 5/5/20 and arrived 7/21/20.
Marti--bengal, about 7 1/2 months old. Her birthday is 12/10/19 and she arrived 7/20/20. She was so very thin when she first was found and full of fleas. She was also very hungry. Such a beauty. She's thinking about coming out to the Main Area soon. She too has a possible hold already.
We have thanks to give!

We had a Flash Sale on Weds. to help us with our general bills. This was wonderful! We sold everything--all the canvas pictures of our residents and the wonderful homemade soaps/shampoos. This sale brought in $639. This takes a big group effort by alot of people--big time thanks.
Remember Cas? That gorgeous kitten that we adopted? He is now 1 years old and his new family name is Theo. "He and the dogs have become best of friends. They play and sleep together. He seriously was the best fit for our house. He has won everyone over with his silly playful behaviors and the crazy positions he can nap in". So happy for Theo.
We've been busy showing kittens and cats to families. We do this in a safe Covid manner. Each family can have an hour to visit in the back Thumper's Room. Then we have 15 minutes to clean, before another family can come in. Hand washing is a must as is wearing a mask. The Main Area is still closed to the public but the above way of handling families seems to be working just fine.
Bugs, bugs, bugs. We just lent a hand to help two kittens that had been found but their "finders" wanted to keep them! Fleas, lice, earmites, cuterebra, roundworms--what an assortment of parasites. Poor kitties--but will be feeling better and will be neutered.

Monday was our HumaneOhio day--always a good day! We sent up 50 cats in total. This broke down to 34 females and 16 males. This also included 3 of our FFRC cats. All surgeries went great. Our 3 cats had good physicals!
We have brand new, newborn kitties! Sunday early afternoon, Zastria left out a soft meow and plop--a kitten was born! Right on the floor by the counter. She and kitten was quickly scooped up, a box quickly cut down for her and then she was quickly put into the box because another baby was quickly being born! All in all, she gave birth to 5 kittens.
White/black, male
Calico, female
Black/white pokie dots, male
Black/white, female
White calico, female
Their birth weights were very low--normally kittens are 3-4 ounces each. These five kittens were just 2 ounces. But, mama is feeding them very well and they are already plumping up!
Everyone take good care. Stay healthy. Thank you for caring about the FFRC cats and kittens!
