The countdown has begun! This coming Saturday is Kitty Christmas. We've received 3 loads of Christmas goodies so far from you wonderful folks! Kitty Christmas is on 12/5. Each top of the hour from 9 am to 3 pm, we will be doing something fun--it's all about showing our appreciation to you all for what you do for FFRC. It's a tremendous amount of support you give us and so we are full of tremendous thank yous!
We've had 4 more adoptions!
11/23--Prada was adopted. The great thing about this is she was adopted by the lady who also adopted Clive. They were best friends here and now they can be best sisters, living in the same home!
11/25--Solomon and GG were adopted together! This always makes me extra thankful--to have teenager cats adopted! They now have their very own dad and mom!
11/25--Kaylee was adopted! I've already seen pictures of her in her new home and she looks totally comfortable and happy already.
We had a Flash Sale on Tuesday--it was chock full of Christmas related things. This sale brought in $674 and it will all go towards our monthly regular bills. Many thanks to those that donated the items that were used, to the Flashie Mods and to all of you who purchased these items.
We now will start an extra fantastic Fun-Raiser tomorrow. We're trying to get these things in early, so that they will arrive to you well ahead of Christmas, in case they are for Christmas gifts! This Fun-Raiser is all about the Pampered Chef items. 7 groups, all have an average of $200. There will be a video on the cam and also pictures on our fb pages!
The Fun-Raiser will end at 9 am on Thursday, 12/3 with BOXES being at 1:00. This is followed by the Drawing and then Consolation Prizes. The 7 Pampered Chef boxes will be out the door on Friday to the winners.
We had BOXES this week also. Great, glorious, awesome gifts! We are grateful.

We took in a new cat. Her name is Maddie Mae Tru. This name is for an older cat with soul. One that is thoughtful and has accomplished living by pure determination. And then her Tru name means to have faith. You see, Maddie Mae Tru was found bumping her way around a neighborhood. A person there brought her to FFRC. She is obviously blind, an older female that has a huge heart. So gentle, so kind. She is a grey/white with long fur. Once she gets in better health, her fur will be extra beautiful. Right now it's full of mats and burrs and prickles. She has let me get her back combed out but the rest will need some clippers. Sadly, our clippers bit the dust, all at the same time.
And that is where we have had Clipper Angels come forward. FFRC will be supplied by several new clippers! This is like heaven to us as we use these often. One will be kept purely for surgeries. One will be kept in the front Thumper's Room where we do lots of grooming and shaving of fur for injuries/lacerations. One will be kept in the front Main Area for all of those quick needs. And we will have a spare to fill in so we never are in a position as we are now..........no clippers. I am so thankful for your support. Super big thanks to our CLipper Angels!
You may see Maddie Mae in the main area already. She just slowly walks around but seems to have picked the Kabana as her favorite room for now.
A few surgery dates for you:
December 7 and 21 will be our HumaneOhio dates.
December 12 will be our FFRC date.
And we have more thanks to give!

Sounds like we may get a bit of snow Monday and Tuesday. We are ready! Snow shovels are in place, all the red heat lamps work. The cats have blankies and beds. Just an FYI--the chicklets that we raised since they were 2 days old are now hens as they are laying eggs! Many are the small "practice" eggs and many are double yokers. We're so proud of the hens!
All is good here. This week will keep us hopping with the finishing touches for Kitty Christmas and for the fun-raiser! We are excited. So are the cats..........they know everything we do here is for them and they too are grateful.
