A big thank you to Johns Manville for their donation to FFRC, to help us continue our work. Love that community help!
Okay--now for the outgoing and the incoming!
Ralphie--adopted 7/1. He went to a home where is the sole cat and will have tons of TLC!
Conrad--adopted in June by FFRC, to be a Porchie. He decided on his own that he was simply not going to be an inside cat (he had always been an outside cat).
Incoming:
6/28--Vienne arrived, a lynx point Siamese. She was from a trailer park here in Defiance and in need of a home. She is 1 1/2 years old, born 12/10/18. She weighed 6.05 and has the prettiest blue eyes. What a sweet girl that is so enjoying being pets and her soft beds.
6/29--Mary Sharon arrived, a long hair torti. Her fur is so pretty--has some silvery grey/white wisps in her tortiness. She arrived at 1 lb, 4 1/2 weeks old. She made her presence known by toddling thru our local emergency room entrance door.She loves to purr.
7/1--Veronica arrived, a beautiful long hair black tiger with 4 white feet and chest. She simply appeared in someone's yard--no mama or siblings. I feel she was tossed from a car as she has the traditional "dropped lower lip" from landing on her face plus lacerations around her right eye. She also has earmites and was very hungry. She weighs 2.07 and has a birthday of 4/22/20.
7/1--Mesa arrived, a black kitten. She arrived at 2.08 lbs, 10 weeks old. She came with lice and earmites. Lice are taken care of, earmites continue to be worked on. She was found at a summer ice cream depot. She sure loves to play!
These are all Name a Cat names. These 4 kittens above will be out in the Main Area soon.
7/2--CDot arrived, a very small orange kitten that really needed some help. He has white toesies! He weighed a mere 7 ounces yesterday, arrived dehydrated, super thin, severe earmites, an upper respiratory infection. He was also having trouble dealing with this heat. He received sq fluids, oral fluids, ear wash, antibiotics and a warm bed to cuddle down in, along with his purple mama. Today he is a bit stronger and has eaten a good breakfast, by syringe feeding.
These next 5 cats (4 kittens/1 cat) arrived yesterday, 7/2. They had been abandoned in their home that was extremely trashed. When cats are not even provided a speck of cat litter, what is to be expected other than to potty wherever they can? But.... no more. These cats all received a bubble cleansing bath, had tons of fleas removed and given good healthy food. They also received a promise that they would always be given love and care and clean litterboxes. Every single one of them have used their litterboxes since they have arrived.
Beauty--beige adult female, birthday 3/12/19 mama to Briant
Briant--beige, birthday 4/2/20, male
GG--gold tiger/white, birthday 5/14/20, male
Taran--tiger/torti, birthday 5/14/20, female
Bamboo--brown tiger/white, white tip tail, born 5/14/20, female
We were made aware of where Beauty's other kittens went and FFRC has offered free spays/neuters for those kittens. All names are from the Name a Cat list.
These kittens/cat are in the back Thumper's Room, enjoying their toys, clean bedding, fluffy beds and generally are relaxing and enjoying themselves. I don't think it will take them long to come up to the Main Area.
We have also taken 2 adult cats back to FFRC--Norton and Caleb. They were adopted in 2015 as kittens. They went to a wonderful home. Their parents were truck drivers together and have a huge semi that was spacious and allowed the cats to travel around the countryside with them! They have seen parts of the USA that I haven't! But, unfortunately, they needed to return them and of course, we are happy to take them back. They are both in the Kitty Campus room, adjusting/
Norton, born 8/21/14, adopted 2/6/15, ASH, black tiger, no white
Caleb, born 9/12/14, adopted 2/6/15, grey tiger/white
Super nice cats--they just will need a little time to get use to FFRC life.
Monday is our HumaneOhio surgery day. We would like to send a few of our FFRC kittens so they can then get to their promised homes! On Saturday, the 18th, we will have our FFRC surgery day and get more of our cats and kittens spayed/neutered.
I've heard back from Bluster and Carolina--they are settling in and have definitely become good friends together.
All is good here. Kittens are growing and the adults are happy and healthy! You all take care and stay healthy. Lots of new names to remember!
