Never take anything for granted. Learn to appreciate what you have. In the blink of an eye, everything can be different. Forgive often and love with all your heart. Life is precious and shorter than you realize, at times it can be messy but just take each day as a gift. Forgive often, help one another, be there for others in good and bad times and be grateful. Remember who is most important to you and always cherish them.

We've had 4 more adoptions!
Soda and Tother were adopted together on 11/4. They have a mom and dad that loved them from the time they met them! Soda is one of Irene's litter and Tother came with the group of 5 tigers.
Buddy and Sodo were adopted together, today, 11/7. They went to a family with lots of cat lovers! I'm quite sure they will fit very quickly into their new home!
Get your walking/running shoes out or your bike! For every mile you do, that can give FFRC a bit of cash! This is through ResQwalk, an app you can get for free for your smart phone. For this last quarter, FFRC was give $68.25! And it's all for just walking....we have to do that anyway, so let it count!
Realty Five, here in Defiance does such a wonderful act of kindness! For every house they sell, they ask their buyers who they want to donate their community donation to. They do this for every house they sell! We just received $472.10!!
We have an update on Boom Boom! She is doing so well--loves playing with the kids and all of her cat toys. Her family loves her so much. She also likes to watch FFRC on YouTube!
Another update is on Lynnie! She is now 7 months old. She had her first vacation to the family's cabin! "Her purr box is beautiful". She lovesh aving her cheeks and chin rubbed and playing peek-a-boo!
Little Nugget is doing awesome. He's here in the purple office with me. And he is running....yes, running as fast as those tiny legs can go! He spends time in a big condo during the day and inside the house at night. His last feeding of the day is at 10:30 by granddaughter Gracie.
Chewy, Coffee and Comanche are all up front now! Chewy is still a bit shy but the other 2 are very confident and ever so sweet. Kazz, Kafuzzle and Kaylee are still hanging out in the back Thumper's Room. The doors are open most of the day and I expect them to come up soon.
Zasha is doing so well! Her energy level is good as is her appetite. Her sutures are now removed and her incision wound is healing. She is still on soreness meds and 2 antibiotics. I get such a kick out of her when she gets the zoomies--she can spring on those 3 legs just fine!
Sparrow....what a sweetie of a kitten she is. She is on soreness meds and 2 antibiotics also. Her leg wound is now healing nicely. She does get up and move about but she spends most of her time in various beds. We put toys nearby and she loves to play. Her back legs are still very wobbly but she has lots of determination. Dr. Darcy will see her Saturday.
Saturday is our FFRC surgery day. Planning on doing lots of spays and neuters. We will also have some physicals to do and check ups.
Zuccari, aka Pistol, is doing wonderful. He's learning good behavior from playing with the other kittens. And he's ever so cute. He loves to play and to be cuddled!

You might have noticed Joy Joy is spending more time in the Main Area--such a pretty girl. I feel like she is beginning to feel some joy again in her life. Lewbeth so loves a tummy rub! CDot is still so ornery--he stole my mask 4 times today--I think he knows I'll give chase! GG loves to "steal" the long toys that we use in the back Thumper's Room to play with those cats. He runs with it dragging between his legs! Coralie totally loves her princess bed!
You all take good care. Have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow. It's a very good day.
