These kittens never cease to make me chuckle. In front of me, I have 4 kittens, here on my desk,  laid out on their sides, deep in sleep. All 4 have their eyes slightly open with their eyes rolled clear up!  Not a worry to the world!

We've had 3 more adoptions!
Beauty--our sweet beige mama has found a home! She was a big hit to the lady that picked her. Beauty went right up to her. I've seen a picture already of her resting on the back of a chair. She is one of the cats that were removed from the abandoned house. She will think she's in cat heaven with her new owner!  She was adopted 7/29.

Ziva and Roxi--went to their new home together!  They are not only good friends but now sisters. They are the only pets in their new home and are planning on soaking up lots of TLC!  A great family that they went to.  They were adopted 7/31.

Our kitten Veronica now has her button removed from her chin. And her lower lip is staying in place much better.  These poor kittens that are tossed out of a moving vehicle. It's an almost for sure thing that they hit face first, pulling the tissues of the inside of lower lip clear down.  If it's not corrected medically, they live their lives with a big scoop there with the lower lip. It collects saliva and food. Not a nice situation. 

We had BOXES on Thursday.  We so love BOXES--truly is a big help to us!

Boom Boom has another best friend. CDot is her first best friend and her second best friend is Janie. They nap together, give each other baths and just enjoy each others company. Boom Boom loves Janie's tail and plays with the furiness!  

I've had a few folks asking about Kitty Christmas already.  It's true that the traditional way we have done Kitty Christmas would be difficult during this Coronavirus time.  But........hold on to that date yet!  It's Dec. 5, Saturday.  We may just host this event in a different way.  Stay tuned!

Monday is our HumaneOhio day. We are looking at a full schedule plus need to get 4 of our FFRC cats done too.  If we can get them in, they have homes to go to!  

It's a .............................BOY!!!  Weeks ago, two gorgeous black/white cats were dropped off here at FFRC.  We caught the first one fairly easily. We named him Tippy as he has a white tipped tail. He is very sweet and now trusts us.  We were able to get him neutered quickly and he is now a Porchie. But his sister/brother--we weren't sure--was very elusive. We have tried traps, sweet talking--but couldn't catch him/her.  We used the name Terry/Terri as it would fit either sex!  On Weds., out of the blue, he let us pick him up and we ushered him inside! One look under the tail........we have a Terry!  Once caught, he turned into a pure mush. He loves laps, loves legs to wrap around and is now another happy Porchie.  Now........we have a beige older kitten that we have been trying to trap. So far, he will not go in.  Keep your fingers crossed.

We have quite a few of the kittens that are being looked at--some are still "of interest", some are on hold--Marietta, Bamboo, Boom Boom, Mary Sharon, Trill, Persius, Marti.   Arch and Otis will be leaving soon to go to their new home. Sky and Cassiopeia too will be leaving. 

Have a great weekend and know that you are appreciated. Please, take care and stay healthy.
