Incomings and outgoings! We have taken on 3 more cats--1 mama, her boy and a foster boy.
Smokey--mama, arrived 8/2. Birthday is 2/2/19. She had given birth to 2 kittens, one of which passed away. She arrived for us to just give our opinion if we thought 2 was all she would have---we agreed with that--just 2.
Roosevelt--Smokey's baby boy. Birthday is 7/31. Arrived at 2 days old. Brown tiger.
Frankie--Smokey's foster boy--needed a mama. Birthday is 7/24. Arrived at 13 days old. Brown tiger. He took right to Smokey and she to him! He arrived 8/6.
They are all one happy family. Smokey is to go back to his human when kittens are weaned and she is spayed. Frankie arrived with that name as did Smokey but Roosevelt is a Name a Cat name.
Adoptions! We have had 5 more adoptions!
Marietta--adopted 8/8. She went into her home with a wonderful new mama and another newly arrived calico kitten. These 2 kittens should have a wonderful time together!
Otis and Arch--adopted 8/8. The family that has adopted these two boys have waited a long time. Arch was ready but had to wait for Otis. Otis had become sick but his new mama never gave up on him. He went home on the very last of his medicines. Both kittens are good eaters now, high energy and showed they were ready to go to their very own home! I've seen pictures already and both boys look completely happy!
Liberty and Luna Grace--adopted 8/9. Sisters, adopted together! Love that. These two kittens have a mom and dad and two little girls. There will be lots of love and fun in this new home!
We have more kittens/cats being looked or being adopted ---Marti, Yahtzee, Trill, Mary Sharon, Boom Boom, Bamboo.
We have thanks to give!

I would like to hand out another thank you to all of those who have sent in memorials to FFRC in my sister Nancy's name. These memorials would make her happy. My family and I miss her so very much but.........she was ready to go. And I find peace in that. She made everyday count. She knew that her time was near and she just wanted her family near by and to have a peaceful death, which she did. So....we remember her memories with great joy.
A big thanks to Best Friends Animal Society for the donation of $66.65 for ResQwalk. And to all of you who gave those miles of walking or biking. It all adds up.
Another thanks to Ken's Furniture who gave another donation to FFRC--4 gallons of OdoBan!
I've heard from the mama of Roxi and ZIva--both are doing good. "They are both very spoiled. Ziva sleeps on my pillow and pushes me off over the course of the night. Roxi sleeps near the middle of the bed. When I get up in the middle of the night, Roxi takes over my spot". Sounds good!
Saturday, 8/8 was our FFRC surgery day. We did 5 males and 4 females plus a few physicals.
Males: Owen, CDot, Miko and 2 public males
Females: Mooi, Zastria, Luna Grace and a public female
We also took off a growth from a cat that belonged to a volunteer. All surgeries went very well. Big thanks to Joyce D for the pizza/bread stick lunch--it was very appreciated!
We also did a couple physicals--
JJ/Porchie--his eyes are magical looking and just wanted to make sure they were ok which they are. He has a lot of pigmentation to both of his eyes.
Jessie--well, this is a tough one. Our Jessie is having trouble. A tumor was felt in her abdomen, inside the intestinal tract. Jessie is our oldster and surgery is not an option. I'm afraid this sweet girl has only a short time left with us. This tumor prevents her from absorbing much of the bit of food she eats. Her appetite is off. This also causes a tummyache. I promise to her and all other cats here--no suffering. We have the gift of euthanasia, which means "a good death". And we will not let Jessie have any pain. It will be a fine line between still enjoying life or whether life is too hard. In the meantime, food is offered anytime she wants, lots of head rubs and love coming her way.
Wednesday is a special Flash Sale--it's a WARPED Flash Sale. Many thanks to her for the wonderful box that arrived. This Sale is at 11:00.
I was a bit extra busy last week and did not get BOXES done. So, we are having BOXES Tuesday at noon! Come and enjoy the fun and excitement. We love boxes!
