September 4, 2020
Eight more days until Catstock Stay In Play 2020. Of course, it's very different than ever before. But, we are salvaging some of it! We're having our "different" Catstock still on the original date of September 12, Saturday. It's a thank you and entertainment for anyone that would like to watch our cam that day. We have things planned every hour on the hour--some 15-20 minutes long, some may be longer! So.....let's have some fun that day, show that we appreciate the support given and feel like we're still having a bit of Catstock. Should be a fun day!
Here's the schedule:
9:00 am---Catstock Knowledge
10:00--Who Do You Think We Are...and What We Have To Say
11:00--Catstock story--Catstock Stay In Place 2020
Noon--Kitty Parade
1:00--People/Cat Dessert
2:00--Thank You Drawings
3:00--Volunteer Knick Knack Info
4:00--Who Is This Piece of Cat?
We've had 1 more adoption!
Owen--left on 8/29. He went into a home where he will be spoiled rotten---just how we like it! I've already heard from his new mama and she is so happy to have this little boy. Owen has settled right in.
We've taken in 5 new kittens/cats.
Djinn--arrived 8/30. She is black/white with white spritz of fur in her black fur. She was 8 weeks old, Her birthday is 7/5/20. Her name is pronounced as Jin.
Cohen--arrived 8/31. He is a black tiger and white, DLH. Cohen is 14 weeks old with a birthday of 5/25/20. A friend found him in the middle of a road. He appears to have been a "toss from the car" victim. Many of these kittens end up with a scabbed up face due to landing on their face. And many times their front legs go back, so if they hit a shoulder hard, the radial nerve can be severed. This is exactly what happened to Cohen. He has zero use now of his left front leg--it simply drags. So sad as this did not have to happen. It certainly is a hindrance to him as it drags along the floor. He will have that leg amputated on Saturday and then he can run just as fast as the other kittens!
Then we had 3 returns:
Dominic--arrived again on 8/31/20. He was born on 4/1/16. He went into a wonderful home and has been well loved and cared for. His mama can no longer care for him and will be going into assisted living. Dominic is adjusting--he's actually wandering around in the main area a little now, feeling more comfortable. He had originally arrived when he was 3 weeks old and was adopted when he was 5 months old. He's a handsome black/white cat and had a very loving home.
McSplish and McSplash--arrived 9/2/20. They were born 8/11/13 and arrived here at FFRC when they were 3 1/2 weeks old. They were adopted together when they were 2 months old. They went to a couple who now have health issues and they too are going into assisted living. McSplish is a female, black/white and arrived at 7.14 pounds. McSplash is a male, grey/white and arrived at a whopping 21.07 pounds. They are adjusting slowly but both are ever so sweet. These two siblings also have been very loved. They are starting to peek around the corner to the Main Area!

On Weds., we had a Flash Sale! Many thanks to those that donated the items for it and to those that purchased them! This Flash Sale brought in $576!!!! This will go towards our utility bills.
Tomorrow, Saturday, is our FFRC surgery day. Here's our tentative schedule:
Spays: Terri, Traverse, Tippy Toe, Djinn and Boom Boom
Neuter: Cohen and his leg amputation
I believe Dr. Darcy also has 1-2 spays, possibly. And as usual, we have some physicals that need done--6 of them, time permitting.
This past Monday was another HumaneOhio spay/neuter day. We sent up 37 cats. This broke down to 19 females and 18 males, bringing our total for this year at 759. This then breaks down to 449 females and 310 males. We are already talking to HumaneOhio about our 2021 schedule. For September, our two dates are the 17th and the 21st.
