Yesterday, we had a Flash Sale. I'd like to thank everyone who donated the items for this sale and to those that purchased these items. It was a great sale and brought in $413.00 to help us with bills!!
Today was one of my favoritest mornings--it was a HumaneOhio surgery day! We checked in 44 cats and kittens. This broke down to 21 females and 23 males., including 4 of FFRC kittens which are Soda, Sodo, Roosevelt and Buddy. This brings our 2020 total to 886 kittens and cats. Last year for 2019 at this time, we were at 928. But....remember, HumaneOhio was shut down for a few months. We're back on a roll now though and have another HumaneOhio date on Monday, October 19.
We originally was going to have surgery at FFRC on this Saturday but due to a memorial event with my family for my sister, we cancelled it. Now, we have had to cancel the memorial event due to the covid numbers increasing. Some of my family are from states, that if they were to visit Ohio, they would have had to quarantine for 2 weeks. So......we are playing it safe and will plan this at another time.
We have had 3 adoptions recently.
Smokey--was actually adopted during my vacation to a volunteer, but we're counting her for October 1! I love this cat and was thrilled to have her get a home!
Djinn and Cohen were adopted together on 10/13. They are now Texan kittens! It was a very long drive--2 full days but they were excellent travelers! They are now in their home and already very bonded with their new mom and dad. So happy for all of them!
This weekend, we have families coming both mornings to look at the kittens and possibly pick a new family pet. We will continue to practice Covid safety measures. We also have Boom Boom and Buddy on hold.
We took in 4 little kittens on Monday, the 12th. They were born to a mama outside. The family has been trying to catch her, so we can get her spayed. These kittens are 4 weeks old, all appear healthy and have been in the front Thumper's Room. Their names are from Name a Cat name list.
Daely (pronounced daily), brown tiger, female
Davis, brown tiger, male
Eileen, black tiger, female
Eamon (pronounced a-mon), black, male
Welcome, little ones. They are eating good and are little toy players!
Tomorrow (weather permitting) is our date to get that leaning tree cut down that is in the Covie's playground area. It's a danger and if it falls, would damage The House that Jonah Built, the Covie Haven and the storage shed inside the playground. We will take much precautions to keep all of the Covies safe.
You all take good care and stay healthy. Derecho--I really think he could've been a poet or a book writer---he wants to add his thoughts! He wishes everyone to carry one special thing throughout your life and that is hope. It gives us hope that better things are ahead of us. Hope helps us get through even the toughest of times. With hope, we can work on being where we are meant to be right now and on the path to where we are meant to go. Keep your hope alive! Thanks, Derecho! .
