Two wonderful adoptions yesterday! Pitter and Patter went to their new home, to a mama that is excited to have them. And I'm happy--a good loving home and the sisters get to stay together! I've already seen pictures on facebook and they all look happy!
The two little Snookie and Squeeky are also doing terrific in their new home together. It's so nice to see these cats in their new homes. That's what this is all about. Daisy, our dog that we adopted, is also doing great. She is much loved and has a big yard to run around in. I've also heard from Tara's new family. Her new name is Lucy Mae and she too is doing great.We also saw Tio and Tia this past week. They came in for nailtrims. They both are growing and look so happy! More adoptions coming up!
We had BOXES on Thursday evening. Many thanks of appreciation!
Ruth D from NC--set of 3 handcraftedwood kitties--very pretty. A flash sale item for sure!
Susan345--new pirate ship! It's put together and already in use.
Angelface--22 beautiful pillowcases, various patterns (in flash sale today)
Dave & Sherri/neuromom from NY--Thanksgiving card. For vols: Wether candies, Nabisco cookies and another box of a variety of cookies. For Flash: Charles Wysocki needlepoint kit. 26 bags of kitty snackers
Teresa H from IN--donation to FFRC
Clark, Jessie & the rest--Happy 5th birthday to Whiskers! 6 $5 chicken bills! Also some leggygals to give away at adoptions (this is from Jessie)
Painteddaisy/June--an awesome box, full of "stuff", as June says! A few items were: milano cookies, kitty snackers, 2 kitty cubes, rugs, volunteer snacks
Twitch acct from MI--donation in memory of Froggy
Knittinkitten--donation in memory of Froggy
Katie L from Canada--2 awesome purple carriers (for a raffle), 4 boxes Fancy Feast and a BIG box of doggie snackers
Little Squigglez and Wigglez are now out and about. Their energy level is very high. Won't be long until they are out all the time. The Purrdelurps kitties--Scooper, marja, Jun and Joop--are super sweet kitties. So sweet and friendly. Purrs instantly when held.
Peggy S was here yesterday and brought her 3 latest charges: Leisl, Stormy and Everly. They are looking good and very round FFRC bellies! THeir latest weights were 13 oz, 14 oz and 15 oz. Little Leisl, the girl, was 13 ounces. One of these days they will be back to stay. They are eating good by themselves but still need Auntie Peggy's loving.
Fluffernutter is getting fluffier. That face is so cute--fur in all directions! He is getting braver and is now playing with the other kittens. Marta too! When she first came in, she was so very hungry, she wanted ALL the food for herself. She is now sharing a plate nicely with her kitty friends.
Today we will have a Mich Flash Sale. And not only that.....it's alot of Christmas items! Many items, all Christmas related! Come join the fun. She will do one sale today and that is at 2:00. Come join the fun. We have a medicine that we use, that cost us $666 a bottle last year. Price has went up now to $780. When this is needed, it takes TWO bottles to treat the Rescue Center. Any Flash Sale monies today will go towards this goal. Pull up a chair, have a hot cocoa and enjoy this afternoon!
Grab your shoes! Or hop on your bike! Something healthy and fun coming up for FFRC. More info real soon.
Would you like to receive a holiday letter from Sevaun?! A fun idea! Donate $5.00 to Paypal and just send an email to Sevaun at: justsevaun@yahoo.com The first week of December or after that, she will send an email to your email address with her picture (an awesome Christmas picture!) and a really neat letter. She'll write something fun to that person (if it's going to a child, state something in the email geared towards that child, etc.). It's in the spirit of the holidays and Sevaun! The donation will be on the "honor" system. If you send an email to the above, Sevaun will trust you! Have some fun! Sevaun is waiting, pen in hand.
Farm news: Yesterday we sent 4 of the peacocks to a new home. After much questioning, I knew this would be a good home. Very happy for this. We also got our 125 bales of hay yesterday to help us get thru the winter--that makes about 200 bales to help to spring time, just in case of a heavy winter. We haven't turned on the electric water bowls or heaters yet (in the barns), but it probably won't be much longer. All the birds and the horses, donkey and goat look real good and ready for the winter. We are also working on getting enough grain/seed in to get us thru the winter too. That way, if we do get alot of snow, we don't have to worry. No fun unloading in cold or snow. We have the snow plow guy all lined up too!
Felicity is such a happy girl. She loves to sit up high and watch those rascally kitties play. She must enjoy it as she does this alot. Jessie Sr. also is doing great. She's a good eater and sure knows how to find the cozy blankies. Sea Turtle is sure doing good too. She is a young oldster and enjoys her spot on the window shelf in the front Thumper's Room. The Porchies are snug as a bug in a rug. Their sunporch is all battened down--windows closed and the heavy door keeps the wind out. Their Porchie Haven has the heater plugged in now. It didn't take them long to figure that out!
Eleven more days to Thanksgiving. So much to be thankful for. Have a wonderful Sunday!

Here are my thoughts: YOU have made an impact on FFRC. Look around this Rescue Center. Think from the front of the property to the backwater---so many, many things we have been able to do, beacause of YOU. You are a lifesaver....literally, to this Rescue Center. Thank you for believing in what we do. It's amazing how two words that mean so much can seem so little. If it were possible to show you how much your support means to me, the simple words of "thank you" would shout from the skies and go around the world, so each of our FFRCNation friends would know how sincere I am in my gratitude. Remember Bella's collar that says: "I'm kinda a big deal"? Well, YOU are all a HUGE big deal to FFRC. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We also had BOXES last night! Super big appreciations to you!

Have a great day, friends. Each day is a treasure to be able to give love and help to others! Do you have cats outside? Please be sure they have proper shelter, food and fresh water. And are they spayed/neutered? A very important way of helping with the pet overpopulation problem.
Thank you all for the support of our loss of Froggy. I kept busy yesterday to keep going. Then it was time for BOXES and Raffle. When I saw all the support on chat, I was a bit overwhelmed. Your kindness, compassion is beyond matching. Froggy has indeed left us with a huge hole. I think that part of it is, that we gave total care to him. But this I know--that hole will fill in and that's because of the love of all the kitties and cats here and the friendships "out there". Thank you for caring. Our FFRCNation is indeed a great group of people.

Weds., November 11
Hello to our FFRC friends. I would like to tell you about
Froggy. Our Froggy boy has passed away.
So so sad about this. This morning at 4:15, he was fairly responsive. By 4:30, he was not—rather in an unconscious
state. We are all aware that Froggy has been having some bad days in the last 2
weeks. I’ve talked to Dr, Darcy and she also realized that things have not been
going so good for Froggy. Mid morning, Froggy semi-woke up, but quickly slipped
back in another unresponsive state. We could not ask anymore of him. His time
here was filled with love. I truly felt he gave his all and that’s all that
could be asked. It’s a hard decision, but one that sometimes has to be made. It’s
having the heart to choose what is best for this special boy, rather than what
our needs are of him. He taught us how
to pay attention to his needs—we understood him. He responded to us because he
loved us and I know that he knew we all loved him. We knew taking him in, that
due to his severity of CH, that other things may be “off” with his brain. But,
it didn’t matter. We wanted to care for him, wanted to show him he mattered. I thank you all for caring about him. You helped
us make his life good. These deaths are
so hard on all of us. There’s no denying that it hurts the heart….and in a very
big way. The beauty about our hearts is that we can continue to love again.
Love is a renewable resource. I believe with my whole heart that Froggy was
meant to be here. It wouldn’t have mattered if it was 1 day or 10 years, we
would’ve taken him with a glad heart. He needed us and we were ready to love
him. That’s what this Rescue Center does. So, please, it’s ok to mourn this
loss, but it’s ok to love again too. Love all those that come here. Love them
and know that we will do our bestest to make their lives happy. Thank you for being a part of Froggy’s life
here.
It’s official. Pania is now known as Pania FFRC. There is no
way I would feel comfortable adopting her out. Her one “eye” that is left is
always a problem---we watch it and check on it always. It’s quite possible some
day that one too will have to be removed. And her UTI’s are something that we
watch daily. There’s many “levels” of what we do to help her with this. So…..Pania
girl is staying here at FFRC.
The two new kitties have names. The little brown tiger boy
is now known as Wigglez. The little girl brown tiger/torti is now known as
Squigglez. These two young’uns spend the
nights in Dodger’s Pen and now out during the day. Their energy level is very
high and so playful. It’s so cute—when it’s nap time, they find each other and
sleep away!
We had BOXES Monday evening. We appreciate you!

We will have a Flash Sale on Thursday. Be ready to have some
fun! It’s at 8:00 pm, with Ellen, Megan and Gina doing the sale. We will focus
a lot on all the different kinds of scarves we have and the handwarmers! Think
Christmas. We will also have another
Flash Sale on Sunday at 2:00. This one
will be done by Mich. She will show a lot of our different Christmas items. TONIGHT we will have BOXES at 5:30 with the
FLASH SALE at 6:00. Thank you for all your support! Busy, fun times ahead.
I would also like to let you know that we had two cats
returned this week. Many of you will remember them—Aubie and Hillsborough. The
family could no longer keep them. They have already been re-adopted to a
different family and they get to stay together! They spent 3 days in the back
Thumper’s Room. They were well taken care of and I believe they will be happy
in this new home!

Sunday, November 8
Another TWO adoptions yesterday! Tara went to her new home. She will have children there to play with! Keesha also went to her new home. But first, she had to have a tooth extracted--her upper right K9 tooth on Friday. She did great. And now she is in her home--her very own home! Very happy for these two cats!
Our 3 little grey tigers that Beth fed last week are now in the care of Peggy. Little Bit and FlufferNutter are now back at the Rescue Center. Little Bit is here, there and everywhere! FlufferNutter is just soooo cute! Their names are Stormy, Everly (the two boys) and Liesl (little girl).
We also had a loss this week. Our sweet Telli has passed away. She had originally arrived here on 1/3/04 and was only 3 months old. She was adopted 1/14/04. On 9/4/15 she was returned to us (with her sister Tazer who has been adopted). She arrived to us with a host of medical issues. We knew her time with us wasn't long. She was so loved and had decided to take up her spot on the counter by the door going to the Welcome Room. It was easy to reach out and pet and kiss her there. She loved it. She is greatly missed. I'm glad she was here for her short time with us.
We had BOXES last night! Many thanks to you!

Many thanks too to Fran for her un-birthday pizza that was delivered here for all of us to enjoy!
Our Raffle started today! Awesome items! Remember Christmas gifts! Check out the facebook pages for more info. BOXES will be Weds night at 5:30 and the Raffle will be at 6:00. I thank you deeply for this support. This Raffle will go towards our surgery day that we had last Saturday and for the many meds that we have been using these last few weeks. Thank you so much.
I'd like to also pass on an apology. If I've missed any info that I should not have or if I've missed an email or any other correspondence, I'm sorry. I have also not been able to chat on the cam as much as I like to (it's truly something I enjoy). I feel I have not given enough time to many different things. Life has been extremely busy for me, with the cats and family issues. But, that's life and we will go on. It will just take a little "catch up power" and I'll be up to speed. Just be patient! I'm following Derecho's lead---determination will get me caught up! Just be kind to one another and always always give love to your family, friends and your pets. You all are important to me and this Rescue Center!
Froggy is here beside me. He is playing with a Yeooow banana toy! His days seem to have a few more episodes lately. But..........whatever shall happen, he knows we love him fiercely. And I know he so loves us---he gets so excited when he sees us! Towanda is laying with him and so is Emmitt.
Kiara went hiding yesterday! And there she was......all tucked under at the very bottom of the laundry pile....again! Snookie is once again on my desk, slurping away on her purple toy. When she gets adopted, that toy must go with her. Today is that day! Yes, Snookie will be going to her new home today!
Bryne, Charity and Alphons still like to "group up" for a nap. It's always amazing to me when these litters find each other for nap time. It's so sweet. Purrdelurps is up in the Main Area and she's being wonderful! She was a bit of a fierce protector of her litter in the back Thumper's Room, but upon coming up here, she is doing great! And her 4 little girls are too. They are happy, healthy and energetic kitties.
Jester and Panda look so much alike. Remember, Jester has tiger ears while Panda has grey ears! Two awesome kitties looking for homes! That little rascal Cyrus is a dickens. He has decided (but not approved of!) to go up to the Welcome Room. If the slant window is open, he proceeds to go between the glass and the screen and there he stays. He watches over all the going ons and outs from his window perch. He's a people watcher!
Please remember to vote for FFRC. We surely would appreciate your support in this way! The site is:
eaglerarelife.com/content/jacci-moss You can vote daily! And thank you.
This morning Sergei and Gustav were running neck to neck beside each other. That was such a wonderful thing to see. These cats are quite an inspiration! Have a good day and enjoy!

He has decided (but not approved of!) to go up to the Welcome Room. If the slant window is open, he proceeds to go between the glass and the screen and there he stays. He watches over all the going ons and outs from his window perch. He's a people watcher!
Please remember to vote for FFRC. We surely would appreciate your support in this way! The site is:

This morning Sergei and Gustav were running neck to neck beside each other. That was such a wonderful thing to see. These cats are quite an inspiration! Have a good day and enjoy!

Thursday, November 5
Another beautiful day in NW Ohio. It's been beautiful! I even saw a kid running barefoot yesterday down the parking lot of FFRC! Loved that. The Barnies have their heat lamps in position and ready! We even had a cat house painted yesterday, it was so nice! Fabio was all stretched out in the sunshine. Oliver had his fall grooming done---no knots, all brushed/combed out, ears cleaned and nails trimmed. He's a handsome boy! A wall shelf has been put in the FireHouse so the cats can snooze in front of one of the windows. We also put up 2 really nice "cuddle shelves" in the Porchie Haven, which were donated.
We had BOXES last night. We give you thanks for these gifts.

Raffle time is here again! Yep, it's gonna happen! We have so many awesome items that we'd like to "get out there", especially since Christmas is in 7 weeks! Hard to believe. This Raffle starts Sunday and ends at 9 am Weds. There again will be 8 items, including an iPadAir! Many thanks to Dawnstar and CantonCat for helping us with the pics and videos to spread the news. Keep your eyes open!
I've heard from the family that adopted Fawn. She said that Fawn is wonderful and is much loved. She's playing with the other cat already! I've also heard from Tio and Tia's family. All is great and they are having a lot of fun zooming around in the house....their home!
We had 2 adoptions yesterday. Our 2 sweet kitties Morgan David and Karma went to their new home, together. These 2 kittens have a wonderful young boy to love them. A great family.
Paden has a home and will be leaving today. He's our little bit shy boy, all black. There was a family that had visited here last week that was smitten with him. He's shy, but I think they can win him over!
Farrah gave us a scare this morning. We simply could not find her. She never misses breakfast and always "helps" me serve up the food. She simply was gone. After much looking, we finally found her, way up top, at the far back of the loft of Kitty Campus Room---just an ear visible. She's fine and extra cuddly now---I think she's sorry to have worried us!
Felicity is here in the office with me. She's playing like a kitten! Jahzara is sitting watching her and appears to be taking lessons. Jinkee is also playing, tossing up a toy mouse and catching it. Love to watch cats play.
FYI--all cats that are adopted from FFRC, go home with their own health record. This will include the dates for all vaccines, leukemia/FIV/heartworm tests dates, wormings, flea prevention, spay/neuter, vet physical and any other medical treatments each individual cat has received while in our care. It will also tell you when your new pet arrived at the Rescue Center and give you a birth date. Remember....if you make a copy of this record and send it to your veterinarian, they can enter it into their files and send reminders to you.
Please remember this----even if your pet is not due for a vaccine, it's important to take your pet to the veterinarian yearly for a check up. The purpose of a yearly check up is to verify your pet's health and to troubleshoot before a problem becomes big.

Tuesday, Nov. 2
Who are those two big black/white long haired cats that are out cruising about? That's Pitter and Patter! They have finally left the security of Cat's Corner Room and are getting braver! A few grumbles and swats here and there, but for the most part, they are doing terrific! We still have the door to the Cat's Corner Room open, just in case they feel the need to go back in though. The goal is they will be fine in the Main Area, then close that room and put Purrdelurps & her 4 kittens in there. The 4 kittens have already been cruising about part-time in the Main Area, but Purrdelurps is not so sure about coming in. We'll help her as she goes along though to be more comfortable.
We had two adoptions yesterday! Our wonderful kitties Tio and Tia went to their new home. The best thing about this is that they got to go together! Joyous news. Their new home is wonderful and has a lot of love to give.
I've heard from our 2 oldsters (called Little One and Cow) that were adopted 10/30. They are adjusting well and seem quite comfortable. Never again will they be placed outdoors.
We took in 3 new kitties. They were on a dock, over the river and were in fear of falling over the edge. Mama hadn't been seen for a couple days. The man that brought him in though, is trying to catch her and will get her spayed. They are all identical--grey tigers, so very cute! They are about 3 1/2 weeks old. Just yesterday, they started half pottying in their little litterbox. Such smart babies! We have 2 boys and 1 girl. They will be named soon.
We had BOXES last night! You are so appreciated by us!
LJ323--2 of her awesome cat scarves! And a wonderful Afghan for a Raffle--it's soooo pretty!
Jan in Hawaii--vairety of k-cups, stuffed frog wearing U of H shirt, for Froggy
Courtney T--case of Fancy Feast, case of 32 Friskies
Phil & Judy--Sunday--4 lg tubs kitty snackers, 6 bags of Temptation snackers
Donnajb--2 cases of baby food meat, 3 variety of flavors
Sue/macncheesemom--orthopedic bed for Derecho. He likes it! He likes it! Was napping on it.
Ann H, neighbor of Bagobear--14 crocheted blankies for FFRC kitties
BagoBear--12 survival blankies to pad the Covies, Porchies, Barnies & Firecat's beds, 10 Christmas crocheted blankies & 20 blankies variety, all for FFRC kitties
GoodSearch--donation for using their search engine
Donna W, aunt to Clark, Jessie & the Rest--Halloween card & 2 famous $5's
Elizabeth A from RI--coupons
Clark, Jessie & the Rest--Happy 5th birthday to Whiskers FOUR of the famous $5's!
Neuromom/Sherry & David from NY--Halloween Card with 2 of the famous $5
Rose & RIch, weekend visitors-case of Friskies, case of Fancy Feast, TP, kleenex, washcloths, hand towels, cat toys, 6 holiday placemats, Santa hat/matching scarf, variety of beautiful scarves
Beth/eaglewatcher--donation to cover for another heater for the outside cats
We also have PayPal donations that we are thankful for:
Eric B--donation to FFRC
Barry P--donation to FFRC
Janet M--donation to FFRC
Shannan W--donation to FFRC
Yesterday we worked at getting the Barnes all set for winter, in the big red barn and the grey barn. Both now have their electric water bowls in place and heated areas for napping.
A big thanks too, to Craig, Marianne and Daria M (who adopted Daisy). They gifted to FFRC, 2 weather alert radios! We have one in the house and one in June's Room. Craig even drove to Defiance to set them up and program them! Really nice of this family. This will assure that we are weather-aware and give us time, in the event of bad weather, to have things readied inside and also outside for the Porchies, Covies, FireCats, Barnies and the farm animals. Very kind of this family to do this for FFRC.
Both Lilly Rose and Elsie are here fast asleep on my desk. You can bet when they wake up, they will make their way down to the floor quite gracefully. Cats are truly amazing. They do not spend time feeling sorry for themselves. They have such a "thing" about themselves--they just take life as it is and enjoy and keep on a-going! The other day someone said he felt sorry for our handicapped cats. I had to stop a second and figure out what he meant. It dawned on me, that we truly do not believe these cats are handicapped. Just ask them---they will tell you that they are quite capable and truly enjoy their lives! What great attitudes they carry.
Froggy had a bit of a rough time this morning--grumbly and just unrestful. He finally fell into a nice deep sleep and awoke much better. When he does this, we put him in his pool which has his extra soft froggy blankies in it and his toys and let him just quiet down. He so loves to be petted and can really get a good purr going.

Sunday, November 1
What kitten is it that is up high on the tall Kuranda Tower? That had surgery yesterday, that should (for our peace of mind) stay on low ground today? That is already running and playing and jumping around. That would be Elsie. That kitten knows no fear whatsoever! Her surgery yesterday went with no trouble. It was good that the decision was made to remove both of her eyes. She was not able to see anyway, but both eyes were only a quarter of the size (the orbit) that is normal. Sometimes unusual "things" like this with eyes can later cause cancer. Anyway......Elsie is fine and running around like nothing happened to her!
Paden and Jester were neutered--both physicals were good. We also did an extra male neuter for a volunteer.The spays that were done were: Purrdelurps, Fatima, Acadia, Karma and Lily Rose. Lily Rose also had her bad eye removed. A very good thing we did--much "debris" in the back of that eye. All physicals with the girls were also good.
Dr. Darcy did quite a few physicals too.
Keesha--has a front right fracture K9--probably happened on her 4 month outdoor adventure. We will make this appointment this week to have it removed.
Pitter--good
Patter--good
Charleston--check neck rash, will start on antibiotics
Joyful--good (and she behaved too!)
Neemu--good
Paddy Cake--good
Paddy Purr--needs his 2nd injection (out of 3) for his enlarged nose again.
Ponia--good, including teeth
Dr. Darcy also did a physical on Telli. We already knew that she has a host of medical problems that she arrived with. Her kidneys are not good and possibly has a growth in the abdomen. She continues to lose weight. But, she seems happy yet. We will treasure these days with her and be constantly aware of "where she is at" in regards to her health.
Froggy had a very rough day yesterday. It's felt that he has more than just CH going on with him. It's hard to describe. It's like he goes into these "zones" where we cannot reach him. It just takes time, darkness and quietness and he comes out of it. Sometimes it takes hours. We want his life to be happy. We already know that as time goes on, he may have more of these events. The bottom line is that he is greatly loved and cared for and we will treasure each day with him too.
Many thanks to Joyce D for providing our lunch for us yesterday for our surgery day! Also big thanks to Gusti, who provided pop, water and juice for our surgery day!
We had BOXES on Thursday evening.More thank yous to give! We are so appreciative.

Many thanks too to Mich and Vern for doing 2 Flash Sales on Friday. We appreciate your time and Flash Sale Talent! We have received so many of the PayPals already. This means Monday we can start packing up orders!
We've been letting Scooper, Marja, Jun and Joop up in the Main Area a bit more. They are actually doing very good with this. And have you seen Pitter out?! Yep, she's becoming braver--out and about. Now to get her sister Patter to come out and join the fun. It will happen!
Dorothy is here in the office playing with a stuffed toy. So cute. And Clarissa is playing too--she loves to zip in and out of the crinkle tunnels. And of course, I have my desk friend here. Snookie is here slurping away on her purple toy. I told her today it will have to be washed soon! She just looks up at me with her dreamy eyes and continues her work on the toy!
Hensley has a new "thing" he likes to do. He enjoys burrowing into pillow cases. So, if you come and see a lumpy pillowcase, it's either Hensley or Kiara. Sherlock and Mycroft are having fun rolling one of those mylar balls around on the floor. These two brothers are so wonderful and so sweet.
Good news! The two oldster cats that arrived last week (the ones that were locked out of their home when their owner went into extended care) have a home! We had this already prearranged, as we knew they were coming. But once we heard the story from the owner of how old they were, etc. I needed to be sure the possible new owner was still good with this. It was just fine and welcomed with open arms!
We also had a couple other adoptions. Lewes went to his new home--with Sherry, our volunteer. He is such a beauty. The older he gets, he appeared to get more silvery. A really nice boy into an awesome home. Fawn also went to her new home. A great home--she was well loved too before they even took her home! I love these two kinds of adoptions!
All is good here. We have a few more kitties on hold. The overall health of the rescue remains good, for which I am always very thankful for. Next week is suppose to be nice weather which will give us time to finish preparing for winter. We try and get everything ready before it's needed. We're getting there! Take care all and enjoy this beautiful Sunday.
