We have a bit of snow on the ground. All the farm animals are fine and are toasty warm. The Firecats, Porchies, Covies and Barnies all have lots of warm beds, red heat lights and plenty of nutritious food. All is good. They already know that turkey is on the menu for Christmas!

And now you are probably thinking.......hey, wait a minute, I didn't see BOXES or Envelopes. And you would be right. We opened them in the PawMart, with a good reason. Steve came down with a fever last night--first one in probably 15 years. Because we both have had secondary exposures to Covid, we went to the clinic where a Covid test was done on both of us. We both have had mild symptoms this past week. Results will be back in 2-6 days. So......he's staying inside and resting. I am staying out of the main area when volunteers are present. And as always, we all wear masks. I can come out when no one is here to do what I need to do. Plus, the doctor said I could still do my morning breakfasts with the cats since Donna, Kim and I have been together every single day.
We are hoping this is just a simple cold for both of us but we want to be cautious. Especially with our volunteers. They mean the world to both Steve and myself (and the cats!).
Myles, the newest baby kitten is doing good. He has a nice round FFRC belly! Auntie Peggy has taken him home for a bit to continue his care.
We have a returned cat. This is Purlissa, a calico persian that had been born here at FFRC on 9/17/17. She has been with the same owner since adoption. Due to severe allergies, Purlissa has returned to FFRC. She is so beautiful and sweet. Right now she is in Paddys Place. We already have a possible new home for her--another Persian home!
Tomorrow is Coralie and Sparrow's big days at the vets office. I will still be taking them as I have to stay in the truck anyway during their visits. I will just take a book and wait for them! And still wear a mask when they are taken from the truck. I'll keep you all informed as to what goes on with them.
You all take good care. Be kind to one another. And please.....give extra thanks to our mods and admins. They do so very much for this rescue center.
