Surgeries are done and all went well. Long day but much accomplished. The schedule changed a bit but that seems par for the course. Here is what we accomplished:
The boys that were done: Tiyani, Zun, Clark Kent, Bradley, Ingy.
The girls that were done: Grishko, MJ.
We also did get in 4 extra cats that volunteers have been working with---2 boys/2 girls.
Plus we had 1 walk in yesterday morning---another male cat.
This makes 12 more spays/neuters. Our total count now that we have been a part of spaying and neutering is: 416 cats (and 2 dogs). This breaks down to 244 females and 172 males.
And then we had more surgeries yesterday. Todd had his eye enucleation. He did real well. He's been napping and resting this morning. Endure the gray torti had her leg amputation. Much needed and so she will feel much better. She had so much damage to this leg. She has been napping also all morning. Vincen Van Gogh is now Vienna. After cleaning everything real good for surgery, we realized that he is a she. Much swelling there, but now much better. The tail was removed due to degloving. She looks rather sporty with that little nub. She has been playing already today. We will save the name Vincen Van Gogh for another cat. These 3 cats are on soreness meds and antibiotics.
We also took in a new kitten. She is 5 months old but only weighs 3 1/2 lbs. She is a pure white Persian and has the most gorgeous eyes. She needed some extra help as she had a bad case of pneumonia. She is much better but bears a close watch. Dr. Darcy examined her yesterday and we will continue our med treatment with her. What a beauty. Her birthday is 4/16/16. Her name is Alice Mary,m a Name a Cat name.
Because of the time involvement for all the surgeries yesterday we were unable to get to our physical list. So....we will put them on for next month.
This month is now more than half way over---please remember to get those recipes in! Please don't wait till the end! Just go to our website at: fofrescue.org and click on the cookbook tab. All the information is there. We sure would love to have a recipe from you.
We have two bits of sad news to pass on. We lost the little kitten brown tiger/white that Peggy was fostering. He simply passed away in his sleep with his 2 siblings snuggling close to him. These are things we simply do not know why---but we carry on because that's the life of rescue. There's always more to care for. Her name was Angel Rose.
The other sad news is the loss of our baby Mighty Quinn. He passed away later yesterday. He was kissed and held and told it was ok for him to let go. All I know is that heaven received a mighty sweet little baby that will be much missed. He tried so hard to be well but finally....it was enough. That baby was loved by so many. Thank you for caring.
We have some thanks to give---always know that you are appreciated by FFRC.

We had another adoption! Our little Roberta was adopted. Two wonderful inkies this week to two great homes! So glad for these two sister inkies.
Take care and have a wonderful Sunday. Here the air is a bit cooler, lower humidity and the sun is shining. My wish today is that no one gets discouraged in the way of doing rescue work. Yes, it's hard, very hard work, many disappointments and sadness but overall the joy and happiness it brings far outweighs the hard part. Enjoy the kitties and cats---each are wonderful with unique personalities just waiting to be adopted.

Vincen Van Gogh---tail amputation
Endure---leg amputation
Whoa---wait a minute, you say. Who is VIncen Van Gogh and Endure! Well, we took in two new kittens yesterday. Here is their info:
Vincen Van Gogh--a cute brown tiger boy, 8 weeks old, birthday of 7/21/16. He arrived yesterday morning. He was found the day before in a garage, all by himself--no littermates, no mama. He also has a completely degloved tail--no fur, completely stripped. This tail will have to be removed as the bones are exposed. He has a few fleas but generally appears healthy. A little worried about life but the poor little guy has gone thru a lot in the last few days. He weighs 2.01. He was hungry upon arrival and has a very good appetite. He is on soreness meds and an antibiotic.
Endure--a sweet grey torti, 6 months old, birthday of 3/14/16. She also arrived yesterday morning. She was found on a front porch-the owner of house had never seen her before. This sweet girl has a probable trap wound to her front left leg. This probably happened 5-6 days ago, long enough for a major maggot infestation. Every toe bone was completely exposed. This leg cannot be saved as it has also severed the nerves (actually are gone). During all the work on her yesterday, she never complained even once. She had a bath, much maggot removals and the lower foot area was removed (no worries, she felt nothing--had to be done due to the complete sloughing of all tissue there). Leg is now wrapped and packed with antibiotic ointment for major infection of leg. She also has an URI. This girl is all heart--what a love she is. She was so so hungry and cleaned up a plate of food before we could even get her water bowl. She is on 2 antibiotics, soreness meds. We are hoping she will be up to her leg amputation tomorrow but not positive.
Here's some information on the 3 kittens that Peggy is fostering. Female--brown tiger with slight tortiness, Male--grey tiger & white, Male--orange tiger. Their birthday is 8/29/16. So little yet but all are active and already appear ornery! They've had their first worming.
We had an adoption on 9/13--sweet Christine, one of our inky babies. They love her already. She went to a home where we know several generations of this family--wonderful people!.
You probably have heard already that we lost an FFRC friend. Donna H/donnawankenobe. She has been a part of FFRCNation since 2011 and will be missed.

Updates: the group of kitties in the back Thumper's Room are doing better. Their activity level and appetites are doing good. Still a couple that are punky, but we expect full recoveries. Such an awesome, friendly, pretty kittens!
Quinn update---our sweet boy is with us but is certainly struggling. He has a major battle that he is fighting. We are following the guidance of our vet for his care. This is a very tough situation. A fellow rescue friend of FFRC wrote this today to me: He writes his destiny and we only can respect his decision and bring him our love. That is exactly true and really wrapped my heart. I thank you all for your kindness, prayers and good thoughts for our little boy. Will keep you all posted as you are very important to him.
Take care, have a wonderful weekend and I thank you for caring about the cats and kittens here at FFRC--it truly means a lot to me. This Rescue Center creates it's own huge job but the load is easier with our volunteers and all of our FFRCNation.

September 14 Weds.
JOvember. What? What is that?! It's a combo of two things. Joey and November. Now.....sit down for this most awesome of awesome news!! Our dear, loved Joey is going to be adopted in November. So.....it's now known as JOvember! Yes, Joey has done the work all by himself and found himself a home! This idea started months ago. And it has grown. The family that will adopt him is well known to FFRC and has adopted cats from us before.
When this subject was first approached to me, I was very excited. They have come a couple times now just to visit him and to make sure that Joey is good with this idea. And it is......Joey gave his paw shake of approval! His new mom and dad will be Jenny and Brent, our friends from Canada. They are also the family to Montana and the cat crew!
Remember when Joey first came? You couldn't even look directly at him or he would quickly flit away. And then he progressed to cruising about the back Thumper's Room. Eventually, Elizabeth and I brought him up to Kabana Room. He quickly became comfortable there but would zoom in hiding when visitors would come. He quickly though progressed to using all of the Rescue Center and playing and accepting pets from all of us. We found a way to his heart---chicken and snackers and ear scratchers. As time went on, he became relaxed and was comfortable. I've seen him also letting complete strangers pet him and scratch his chin and ears. We even picked him up today to weigh him without any wariness.
He is ready for adoption---mentally, emotionally and in his heart! I am absolutely thrilled with this. And what a fine home---so filled with lots of love. His new home will sport more Kuranda Towers, as he loves them. And this is awesome---his new mama, Jenny will be taking much time off of work for Joey's introduction to his new home. Her time will be for Joey and their other cats.
Please join us in our happiness of this future adoption. I know we are thrilled here at FFRC.
And.........another bit of news. Remember I said after Catstock there would be two bits of news to pass on. This one is very exciting too. Steve and I and almost our whole family will be going on vacation together the first week of October!! We are all very excited about this and very much looking forward to it. The volunteers will cover us nicely so there's no worries---they are all seasoned pros!
So........that's my two bits of exciting news! More blog info later!

Sunday, September 11
9/11---a date we all know. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, 400 were police offers and firefighters, in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in NYC, at the Pentagon building in Washing, D.C., and in a plane crash near Shanksville, PA. Let us always remember what our country represents and the words "United We Stand, God Bless America.".
Catstock 2016---it's over and I'm still smiling! The weather was perfect even with the rain. We can't change these things so we just have to go with the flow. Actually the weather was indeed good---we had 2 little bouts of rain and then it was over and the beautiful sun came out again! We were prepared with 4 big tents, 2 pop up tents, the shelter house and a good attitude by all the people here! The far back parking area was full, the lower corral was full and the big corral had many cars in it too. I also saw cars parked all along the road. A very good turn-out.
Strawberry Hill was again phenomenal. We love their music. Not only are they are wonderful band but the band members are really such nice people! We were able to give them a donation check for $530---this was from funds that were given in appreciation of their music!
Also at Catstock, we had an indoor and outdoor store with our items for sale. We made $383 thru these sales! The Dunk Tank was a big success. We sure did alot of dunking---such a great sound---kersplash! lol The Tank arrived at noon and the Fire Dept. arrived to fill up the 500 gallon tank. So nice of them!And the heat of the pump warmed up the water a little! I even got to have a quick sit inside the truck! When they left, they turned on their sirens!
We sold close to 1,100 tickets for the games! That makes me smile---kids had fun playing the carnival games! Lots of prizes were given---all kids playing received a prize, win or lose for each game! And big thanks to all the people who ran the games---that took alot of people.
The Yum-FunRaiser was a super success! We love our cookies! Wolfpatch baked up a huge amount and we are so very grateful for him. We ended up with 362 tickets sold for the Yum-Raiser which means $1810. We had a wonderful person who offered to match this, so now that becomes $3,620. At Catstock, Dave sold cookie plates which made $250. So.....the cookie business made $3,870 for FFRC. Big big thanks, Wolfpatch!
The food was oh, so delicious! Lots of foods, big variety. Yum! It took Kathy and Dawnstar kept the cams working--I've heard the video streaming was good and the sound of the band was good. So thankful for this!
The Cove and inside the Main Area had lots of visitors. The cats surely did enjoy all the holding. I saw lots of cats sleeping away in arms of people! That was nice to see.
One of the things that always worries me is if I neglect to mention names for thank yous. If I ever forget anyone, don't hesitate to let me know. This weekend we had many visitors who brought items--we tried to keep track!

MLS--6 cans of food and a bunch of box tops

Linda/MLS--5 cases baby food & 5 cases Fancy Feast Kitten
Annie S--donation to FFRC
In our donation banks for Catstock, we also received $1100--we are super appreciative. This will help towards the variety of costs for Catstock.
All in all, the Catstock was wonderful. There are literally many dozens of people who helped pull this off. I am so very grateful to each and every one of you. And these folks gave their time and effort with big smiles---means so much to me. And webcam visitors........we had lots of them from all over the US. It thrills me to have people come to visit and enjoy the cats and the friendships that are here. Many are still here! And of course our webcam viewers---we knew you were there, enjoying the event along with us! Another thing I really enjoy is just listening....I so love to hear the laughter here by all the people. And when our visitors come, it's great to hear them calling the cats by name.
We had BOXES on Thursday evening! You all are awesome and appreciated!

We had two wonderful adoptions on 9/8. Dominic left to go home to his new mama who loves him very much. I've already heard back from her and she is just thrilled with Dominic. He seems comfortable already and is exploring his new house.
Cayden was also adopted! Cayden has been here since a baby of 8 weeks. He arrived here on 7/31/14. Cayden is already adjusting to having his own home and own family. It sounds like he too is doing great. If you'd like to see more about Cayden, check out his new FB page at Caydens Journey. I think you'll like it!
So......who is this new little kitten we have? His name is Quinn, affectionately called The Mighty Quinn. He's a little gold/white baby, about 5 weeks old. His birthday is 7/28/16 and he weighed 13 ounces when he arrived on 9/7. He was born in a barn. Somewhere his mama and siblings went missing--maybe mama moved the litter as they often times do and left little Quinn behind. Regardless, the family who owns the barn brought little Quinn to us. He appears to have CH but this has not been for sure diagnosed yet. Time will help us with this. There could be a number of reasons why Quinn is as he is. Whatever his diagnosis will be, we love him already! We are syringe feeding him but this next week I do believe he will take off on his own eating. He has spent some time with the group of 11 kittens in the back Thumper's Room. This morning he was in the Main Area for 10-15 minutes and moved around a bit on all 4's, while staying on a rug. He is quite the shaky boy but he sure knows how to soak up the love and to look at people with those eyes that shows he's quite a happy boy. Welcome, little Quinn!
Orpha the new torti kitten is doing wonderful. She's very friendly and absolutely loves attention! Phoebe is doing great as well. She certainly loves people. She's on antibiotics and all seems very good healthwise with her. This week she will go for labwork. With all the extra visitors here lately, she is soaking up the love and so enjoying it!
Take care everyone and have a wonderful week. Also please pause for a minute and just feel the gratitude that we have for you all. We have such a wonderful positive group of people here at FFRC and for you all involved "out there" with FFRC---truly is important to us. Big hugs.

The Cove and inside the Main Area had lots of visitors. The cats surely did enjoy all the holding. I saw lots of cats sleeping away in arms of people! That was nice to see.

Check it out---our website has a new tab! Go to fofrescue.org Look for the About Us tab, scroll down to Birthday Calendar and click! I think you'll like it! Many thanks to Vaun for all of the hard work on this.
We had two wonderful adoptions on 9/8. Dominic left to go home to his new mama who loves him very much. I've already heard back from her and she is just thrilled with Dominic. He seems comfortable already and is exploring his new house.
Cayden was also adopted! Cayden has been here since a baby of 8 weeks. He arrived here on 7/31/14. Cayden is already adjusting to having his own home and own family. It sounds like he too is doing great. If you'd like to see more about Cayden, check out his new FB page at Caydens Journey. I think you'll like it!
So......who is this new little kitten we have? His name is Quinn, affectionately called The Mighty Quinn. He's a little gold/white baby, about 5 weeks old. His birthday is 7/28/16 and he weighed 13 ounces when he arrived on 9/7. He was born in a barn. Somewhere his mama and siblings went missing--maybe mama moved the litter as they often times do and left little Quinn behind. Regardless, the family who owns the barn brought little Quinn to us. He appears to have CH but this has not been for sure diagnosed yet. Time will help us with this. There could be a number of reasons why Quinn is as he is. Whatever his diagnosis will be, we love him already! We are syringe feeding him but this next week I do believe he will take off on his own eating. He has spent some time with the group of 11 kittens in the back Thumper's Room. This morning he was in the Main Area for 10-15 minutes and moved around a bit on all 4's, while staying on a rug. He is quite the shaky boy but he sure knows how to soak up the love and to look at people with those eyes that shows he's quite a happy boy. Welcome, little Quinn!
Orpha the new torti kitten is doing wonderful. She's very friendly and absolutely loves attention! Phoebe is doing great as well. She certainly loves people. She's on antibiotics and all seems very good healthwise with her. This week she will go for labwork. With all the extra visitors here lately, she is soaking up the love and so enjoying it!
Take care everyone and have a wonderful week. Also please pause for a minute and just feel the gratitude that we have for you all. We have such a wonderful positive group of people here at FFRC and for you all involved "out there" with FFRC---truly is important to us. Big hugs.

Weds., September 7
Can you feel it? The kitty energy and vibes is very high! When all the kittens are in the back Thumper's Room, the room vibrates! The 3 little greys--MJ, Sadeka and Ingy have decided they are healthy and want to show everyone that they feel good now! Their little round bellies are coming along!
I realize that I never officially introduced Bradley. Bradley is a little gold/white kitten that our volunteer Mary Braid rescued. He's a dandy and ever so sweet. All he has to do is look up at you with those big eyes and your heart will melt. He arrived weighing 1.10. He's 6 weeks old and his birthday is 7/23/16. He was at a country home with no mama or siblings. He's fit right in and loves his new kitty family.
It's amazing the difference in Cairo and Cairys. Their fur looks so puffy, their eyes are bright and alert and they are growing. Cairys' favorite way to eat is to stand inside the food bowl and swat at the others---he thinks the entire bowl is all his. He will come to realize soon that he doesn't have to worry---we will always have food for him.
Zun......his real name must be Zoom Zun as he loves to run. He's here, there and everywhere. And he so loves playing with the other kittens. His purr motor is always on. Woodrow is coming along---not as shy as before. We keep holding him. His little wounds are healed now.
Every cat and kitten that arrives gets to have 5 days of that "delicious" white stuff---it's a broad spectrum wormer. It is an excellent wormer and assures that our felines are healthy in the no-parasite world (internally). No wormies for our kitties and cats!
Yesterday was an awesome day. We did 30 more spays/neuters as it was our HumaneOhio Transport Day. We checked in all 30 cats from 5:30 to 6:10 am. All were safely "fixed" and returned here at FFRC about 6:10 pm. What a great thing---one of my favorite activities...being involved in these spays/neuters. These 30 cats comprised of 21 spays and 9 neuters.
We also in the last few weeks gave out 8 vouchers for people to take their cats directly to HumaneOhio for their surgeries. That was for 4 females and 4 boys. The total of these now gives us new numbers.......drumroll please!!!.......... We have now done 404 cats----240 spays and 163 neuters!
We were asked if we could possibly keep one of the kittens from yesterdays surgeries. We said we would make room for her.......a young beautiful torti. She is 13 weeks old with a birthday of June 7, 2016. Her name is Orpha (a Name a Cat name). She's super friendly and already begging to come out and play. We told her........bathtime & vaccines first today!
We have some thanks to give----please know you are appreciated!

THREE more days to Catstock. We already have a few visitors starting to arrive with lots more coming! We're almost ready! Today we will put in the parking lot posts to guide people. Pizza order will be put in. Lots of cleaning is happening on the property. Friday the tents (I believe 4 now) will arrive--that is always exciting. I know the weather may call for rain---but all is fine! We'll be beaming sunshine of friendship and fun! The tents are huge and we also have the big Shelter House. We are looking forward to this day.........no matter what!! Come join us for the fun!
Livingston continues to do good. He is pottying just fine! And he's so so proud of himself....as he should be! Hensley and Vernon have become "silent" friends---they seem to have decided they are brotherly spirits.....haven't seen a cross "purr" between the two for a while! Sea Turtle has lost some weight but she seems to be feeling rather perky. Jones is maintaining and pottying good! Jessie, one of our oldsters is doing great. What a sweet girl she is. Chloe has fully discovered the fun of playing--such a joy to watch her.
FFRC is on the move! We want to continue to give good quality medical care, tons of love to each cat and kitten, adopt to wonderful loving homes and to continue our spay/neuter programs!

Monday, September 5
Happy Labor Day--a public holiday held in honor of working people, on the first Monday of September. The cats would like me to pass on their thanks for all those who labor to help make this Rescue Center be as it is---a place of love, friendship and the well-being of the cats.
We've been working on 3 ways of helping FFRC with the Catstock---help with the Strawberry Hill band donation that will be given to them, Dunk-Tank tickets and the Cookie Yum-FunRaiser (Wolfpatch's cookies!). Remember---we have matching funds for all Yum tickets---thanks to an Anonymous Friend! Check out our facebook page for all this info. This part ends tomorrow morning at 9 am. That way it will give us the rest of the week to finish all the details for Catstock. The first visitors start arriving tomorrow--Tuesday and more come in as the week goes on! We love our visitors!
We had BOXES Saturday night. Love those boxes---a huge help to FFRC! Thanks!
Tony & Tarah--visitors--canned cat food
Mich, our Flash Friend--stuff!!
Judi Sp--2 bags Precious Litter
Pilvi--for Derecho & friends--freeze dried chicken and minnows--the cats say yum!
Zoolove--Nellies Natural Laundry Soap packs
Janet D from IN--donation in memory of Donna Palmer (and from class mates too)
Linda H from FL--donation for her friend Amy Jo's birthday, for Catstock
John H from OH--Chief tapes
Tom C from IL--donation to FFRC
Clark, Jessie & the rest--Happy 5th BD to Zavatar and his chicken $5
Just Jessie--Happy BD to her mama Jemima and her chicken $5
Faithy, vol--pop tops, items for Flash Sale--slippers, hanging towels, Halloween Kitty Witch, 3 beautiful stars that hold tea flicker candles
Jatcat--donation to FFRC
Joco--donation for Megan eating the freeze dried minnow! Fun!
Tom W from MI--donation for Megan eating a freeze dried minnow! Made us laugh!
Knittinkitten--3 bags of dry cat food
Jakesmeowmy--donation for FFRC
Tim & Kim/kimkost, visiotrs--2 bags dry cat food, 2 cases FF, 5 snackers, lots of 9 in" styro plates, bleach, 2 gals Mr. Clean, dog snackers, sardines, 9 tunas, 6 lysol wipes, 2 vinegar, volunteer snackers, 9 antiibacterial soap, gingersnaps (for horses) and garbage bags
Because of the busy-ness of Catstock and many visitors this week, we are putting all the youngster kittens in the Back Thumper's Room. They will have periodic visitations to the Main Area when it is quiet though. This morning they are up in the Main Area for a bit which is the first for the 3 grey babies--MJ, Ingy and Sadeka and for Clark Kent, Bradley and Ramsey too. Yesterday, was like a lightswitch for the 3 grey kittens---they started eating very well and playing! Such a joy to see them get better. This group will include the 3 greys, Cairys, Cairo, Sintel, Janna, Kwatile, Bradley, Clark Kent and Ramsey. Phoebe too will be spending the nights and partial days in the Back Thumper's Room. This is a rockin' and rollin' room now!
You say---who is Phoebe?! She's our newest kitten that we have taken in. A beautiful white/black Persian. She is 7 1/2 months old and her birthday is 1/24/16. She's just a little kitten, only weighing 5.06. She looks much bigger because of all of her fur-puff! She is here due to a possible clotting problem. So far, it appears to be very minor. We are following a medical program given to us for her from our vet. Once we get this cleared up, have her spayed she will be up for adoption. She absolutely feels at home already--loves to play, has been all over the rescue center already and seems very contented.
Farm Update---the turkeys are growing........and gobbling! Such a funny sound! Another sound they all make---a pop, pop, pop. You can hear the 10 turkeys almost anytime during the day. For Catstock, we will have to pen them because they will follow everyone and anyone! They'd probably even try to join in the games! The chickens, geese, ducks, peacocks and guinea hens know to "disappear" for the day. The horses, donkey and goat will be in the front corral so their other 3 corral areas can be used for parking. They will like seeing all the visitors too.
This week, things may be a bit "off" as it's a busy schedule! But....we'll get back on track in no time. After Catstock there will be more news to pass on! Yes......I'm hinting! lol Have a very happy day! Treasure your family and your pets---it's a good and peaceful thing to do.

Saturday, September 3
A week from today is Catstock! Wow--time just flies by! We've been busy. Have confirmation on the Dunk Tank, emptying of our Werlor, 3 tents and 2 porta pots being delivered on Friday. Today will talk to pizza place about big order for Saturday evening. The 30-some carnival games are ready, prizes are bagged and ready to give to all the kids (win or lose!), food preparation underway---lots of stuff going on!
Many thanks to you all for the wonderful Flash Sale on Thursday. It was awesome and much appreciated. The funds that this generated will go to our weekly operational needs--that is where our need is right now. So so many people involved in these sales---Mich, MK, Dawnstar, Canton, all our moderators, Lynnette, Pat P, all the folks who provided the items of the sale and to those who bought them. A takes a huge communal effort to pull this off...........and you all are a big part of it. Thanks ever so much!
Big thanks to Mary, our Friday night volunteers! She brought 5 rolls 2 inch tape, 3 boxes Highlighters, potty bags, 6 rolls of PT.

We also know that Merlee Jo's adoption is doing super! She's all around the house exploring and already sleeping on the bed!
As of this morning, we are at 75,243 votes--wow! I am so grateful for each one. Please keep voting daily at: eaglerarelife.com/content/jacci-moss-0
Have you got your recipes in? How much fun this 3rd edition FFRC cookbook is going to be. To be able to flip thru the pages and see so many of our friend's recipes! And of course, then the fun of trying them! Just go to our website at fofrescue.org and click on the Cookbook link. It's easy to submit recipes! Please have them in by September 30th.
Our 3 new baby greys have names. While they still look a bit rough and underweight, they are indeed making progress. No more syringe feeding them as they are starting to eat by themselves. Always a good sign. We have placed them at 4 weeks of age with their birthday at 8/3/16. And they now have names.
MJ--the healthiest of the 3, weighed 1.05 on arrival. All grey, female
Ingy--in the middle for being healthy, weighed 15 ounces, male (prounced In-GEE)
Saseka--the lightest, weighing only 10 ounces, female (pronounced sa-SEE-ka), means pretty.
All three had 3 out of 4 ranking of fleas, a few maggots, upper respiratory infection and major roundworm load. All are on antibiotics, broad spectrum wormer. Fleas and maggots are gone.
We also took on 2 new kittens.
Ramsey--found behind Dr. P's vet office, probable drop-off by someone. He weighs 1.14 and is 7 weeks old. His birthday is 7-15-16. He's friendly, no fleas and is a happy boy. Ramsey is black and white, with a left lip/chip that is white and 4 white feet.
Clark Kent--found in a woodpile by friends of ours. He had been there for about a week. He is very friendly, no fleas and also a happy boy. He is 12 weeks old. His birthday is 6/10/16. Clark Kent is a gold tiger.
Many of you know that Jones has been ill. We've been in touch with our vet and he is getting a whole "cocktail" of meds to help him. Today he is (once again) better. Our one hard thing with him is in connection with his neuro problems---this always complicates things. But today he ate, is walking around, going potty and acting happier.
Grishko is doing wonderful. What a beautiful girl. She is starting to look so much healthier---it's amazing what good food, rest/relaxation and having parasite control can do! Zun is a crazy kitten---just how I like them! He's a toughie who likes to play with the big cats, especially Stevie. Woodrow, our little brown tiger is our shy boy. He's been getting lots of extra holdings.
Kwatile, Janna and Sindell and their friends Cairys and Cairo are out and about a little more in the main area. They are just so cute--the fuzzy group! All 5 are growing. They sure love to play!
There's 3 fun-raisers going on right now for Catstock---check them out on facebook. Also there is info on the cam, by watching the insert video. One is for the Wolfpatch cookies---called the Yum-FunRaiser! Another is to help with showing our appreciation to the Strawberry Hill band. And the other is the Dunk-FunRaiser. Both the Dunk and the Yum are up for $5 tickets. Be the winner of the famous cookies by Wolfpatch or be the winner of having someone stand in for you at Catstock to toss the balls at the DunkTank! Fun all around!
Oh my goodness---just had an awesome phone call. For every dollar raised for the Yum-FunRaiser, an anonymous person will match it. This will directly benefit the Rescue Center! I am so grateful! So......know that for every $5 ticket you buy for the cookies, you are actually donating $10! We will be drawing TEN names (at 4:00 ish on Catstock day) to receive the cookies of your choice (4 dozen) to be made fresh and sent to you! WOW---what a great deal! Thank you to our Anonymous Friend!
Vernon has a new name---it's VNB for Vernon Needy Boy. He is indeed a needy boy and loves nothing more than to be held and hugged. He's been on his very best behavior and seems like quite a happy boy.
As you know, in the mornings, I feed the Porchies, Firecats, Covies and Barnies. I've noticed the last few weeks, more and more Barnies come up to the front area for their breakfast and the Firecats are also coming to the Porchie area--just for breakfast, then it's all back to their own areas! This morning, I walked out and there were 23 cats--these were of the Porcheis, Firecats and Barnies. Wow. There's more than that, but it's interesting how they get along and how they've discovered breakfast time is sure a yummy time! It helps too because some days they get snackers and Bonito Flakes! Then after these feedings, the Covies are next! What another awesome group of cats.
Have a wonderful weekend! Peace, love, friendship and cats! Catstock........here we come!

Our 3 new baby greys have names. While they still look a bit rough and underweight, they are indeed making progress. No more syringe feeding them as they are starting to eat by themselves. Always a good sign. We have placed them at 4 weeks of age with their birthday at 8/3/16. And they now have names.
MJ--the healthiest of the 3, weighed 1.05 on arrival. All grey, female
Ingy--in the middle for being healthy, weighed 15 ounces, male (prounced In-GEE)
Saseka--the lightest, weighing only 10 ounces, female (pronounced sa-SEE-ka), means pretty.
All three had 3 out of 4 ranking of fleas, a few maggots, upper respiratory infection and major roundworm load. All are on antibiotics, broad spectrum wormer. Fleas and maggots are gone.
We also took on 2 new kittens.
Ramsey--found behind Dr. P's vet office, probable drop-off by someone. He weighs 1.14 and is 7 weeks old. His birthday is 7-15-16. He's friendly, no fleas and is a happy boy. Ramsey is black and white, with a left lip/chip that is white and 4 white feet.
Clark Kent--found in a woodpile by friends of ours. He had been there for about a week. He is very friendly, no fleas and also a happy boy. He is 12 weeks old. His birthday is 6/10/16. Clark Kent is a gold tiger.
Many of you know that Jones has been ill. We've been in touch with our vet and he is getting a whole "cocktail" of meds to help him. Today he is (once again) better. Our one hard thing with him is in connection with his neuro problems---this always complicates things. But today he ate, is walking around, going potty and acting happier.
Grishko is doing wonderful. What a beautiful girl. She is starting to look so much healthier---it's amazing what good food, rest/relaxation and having parasite control can do! Zun is a crazy kitten---just how I like them! He's a toughie who likes to play with the big cats, especially Stevie. Woodrow, our little brown tiger is our shy boy. He's been getting lots of extra holdings.
Kwatile, Janna and Sindell and their friends Cairys and Cairo are out and about a little more in the main area. They are just so cute--the fuzzy group! All 5 are growing. They sure love to play!
There's 3 fun-raisers going on right now for Catstock---check them out on facebook. Also there is info on the cam, by watching the insert video. One is for the Wolfpatch cookies---called the Yum-FunRaiser! Another is to help with showing our appreciation to the Strawberry Hill band. And the other is the Dunk-FunRaiser. Both the Dunk and the Yum are up for $5 tickets. Be the winner of the famous cookies by Wolfpatch or be the winner of having someone stand in for you at Catstock to toss the balls at the DunkTank! Fun all around!
Oh my goodness---just had an awesome phone call. For every dollar raised for the Yum-FunRaiser, an anonymous person will match it. This will directly benefit the Rescue Center! I am so grateful! So......know that for every $5 ticket you buy for the cookies, you are actually donating $10! We will be drawing TEN names (at 4:00 ish on Catstock day) to receive the cookies of your choice (4 dozen) to be made fresh and sent to you! WOW---what a great deal! Thank you to our Anonymous Friend!
Vernon has a new name---it's VNB for Vernon Needy Boy. He is indeed a needy boy and loves nothing more than to be held and hugged. He's been on his very best behavior and seems like quite a happy boy.
As you know, in the mornings, I feed the Porchies, Firecats, Covies and Barnies. I've noticed the last few weeks, more and more Barnies come up to the front area for their breakfast and the Firecats are also coming to the Porchie area--just for breakfast, then it's all back to their own areas! This morning, I walked out and there were 23 cats--these were of the Porcheis, Firecats and Barnies. Wow. There's more than that, but it's interesting how they get along and how they've discovered breakfast time is sure a yummy time! It helps too because some days they get snackers and Bonito Flakes! Then after these feedings, the Covies are next! What another awesome group of cats.
Have a wonderful weekend! Peace, love, friendship and cats! Catstock........here we come!
