We had one last adoption for 2017. Little Tres went to his new home. He will have lots of great sisters and brothers and a bunch of fun stuff for a big cat playground! This makes 28 adoptions for December.
The door is now open to the Main Area from the Welcome Room and Front Thumper's Room. Now, if Liris and Nairobi would like to come up and join the rest of the kittens, they are welcome to do so.
Tuesday is our next HumaneOhio surgery date. Hoping to have a full load going up for their spays/neuters!
A couple thank yous!
Eike S--donation to FFRC

Happy New Year 2018 coming up! Our goals are to help as many cats and kittens as possible and to increase our spay/neuter numbers even more.
We've had 4 more adoptions!
Kestrel was adopted. He was picked out special for a certain lady who was ready for a kitten! Kestrel is the last of those 3 K kittens.
Jericho was adopted next. He was long anticipated! He went to a really nice family. Jericho and Jester arrived together, now both adopted.
Brillance left that same day too--12/28. This couple was very excited to be able to have Brillance as their own kitten! She was one of the 7 Oxbow kittens that we took in.
Airio was the last to leave on 12/28. He went to a very kind couple. Airio was found in Fulton County along with Alvin---they are now both adopted.
And still more adoptions coming up!
We had BOXES last night and Envelopes. Many thanks to Lynnette and Donnajb for filling in for me so I could take a rest. The "crud" that has invaded so many has visited here.

Our 2 newest kittens, Liris and Nairobi are doing good. They now have their initial vaccines in them and several days of worming. Won' be long until they come up to the Main Area. Their frostbite ears are looking much better.
Lucky kitties and cats---they've had 3 hambones in this past week. It's amazing how they pick them clean. Most of them take their turns to gnaw on it--they sure enjoy it. Especially Ramsay--he really gets into it!
Joyful is strolling about here in the purple office with me. We gave her a tail tip to nose tip grooming last week--she looks great.
Lucie is doing wonderful. Most mornings now she comes up to the Main Area all by herself for her breakfast! She knows exactly what she wants--her specialties are meals and lap holding and back scratches!
Nsuku and Julianne continue to be comfortable here in the Main Area---which so pleases me! Love to see them playing.
The farmyard has 5 new ducks! They needed a new home and so we said yes. They have already fit right in with the other farm animals.
Take good care and keep warm! As of this moment, we have 80 days and 12 hours until spring!

We've been a busy Rescue Center. The week between Christmas and New Year's always brings extra visitors, because many people are off or are visiting family. The cats are, of course, enjoying this!
We had two more adoptions.
Chesterfield and Cariad were adopted together! Such a wonderful thing, as they are brothers! So happy for them.
And more adoptions coming up today!
We took in 2 more kittens. I am amazed that we are still getting kittens. These little siblings were found at an outside workplace. Cold and hungry. The work guys took them into their hotel and brought in the next morning.
Nairobi--orange/white, male, 4 white feet, white chin, neck and up the nose.
Liris--torti, tiger, female, 2 front white toes
Both Nairobi and Liris have small spots on their ears where frostbite had started. But, now that they are warmed up, the ears look much better. They were dirty and had grease/oil on them, probably from the vehicles at the worksite. They are 10 weeks old and arrived 12/27/17. Their birthdate is 10/19/17. Two nice kittens. They had heaters yesterday and slept the entire day.
We have thanks to give! We are a grateful bunch here at FFRC!

Here's an update on Mally and Shalimar--They are doing well. They are totally different kittens--Shalimar plays hard and crashes hard and Mally is more mellow. They have both made themselves at home.
It's mighty cold here. I know some of our viewer friends have had massive amounts of snow. We had about 4-5 inches but the temps now for the next week are down to minus 14. Brrry cold. All the heat lamps and heat pads are being used. All 4 horses are brought in now for night time. Millie the donkey and Pickles the goat have a nice straw bed in the lean too. The barn animals--geese, ducks, peacocks, etc., gets ample feed.
The Covies are doing good. We keep their furnace around 55 degrees--plenty comfy for them! It's interesting how they become bet buds in the winter--sleeping in heaps is always warmer!
We have officially shut down the back Thumper's Room! It's been a very long time since we've had that room down. The two mama cats--Nsuku and Julianne are actually doing quite well . They are enjoying running all over and both are now playing! Such a good thing to see.
Jaam is here in the purple room, playing with Tracker--they have become good friends. Janie, the doggie, is happily napping on the top of the Kuranda Tower again! Always makes me smile. Zelda is on my desk, along with Kester who is snugged right up to Zelda for a nap! Annet is curled up on a scratching toy, watching the kittens playing. The 3 littlest ones--Bambi, Brielle and Bloom are doing great--they fit right in and play with the rest of the kittens.
Kota and KaeKae, the newer sisters are so cute--both have that cobby look to their frame. Kota is braver and is in the Main Area while KaeKae likes to lay with Eddie White on his shelf.
Take care, stay warm!

Merry Christmas and a peaceful 2018!
We had 5 more adoptions!
Paris went to her new home. What an awesome home too. This is the family that adopted Bam and Bender from us earlier. A great cat home. They fell in love with Paris the moment they saw her!
Kikae and Kester--brother/sister grey kittens went to a family with 3 kids. I do believe these 2 kittens will fit right in and know they have a wonderful home! So exciting--they are a special present to their special daughter.
Jester and Masana--went to a family that we have known for a long time. Many years ago, they adopted Hal from us. I'm so happy for these two kittens.
It's happened this morning--all the doors, front and back have been opened and the cats and kittens are all free roaming. Right now, the last persian kitten Purrlissa (will go to her new home soon) is on my desk, batting the tail of Zelda. I do believe Zelda will set her right on cat rules! Trey is up also as is Kota and KaeKae. They have just fit right in--they were ready for this added freedom. I even saw Juliette running by! Next, we will try Nsuku. We just want one big happy family!
We had BOXES and Envelopes yesterday. My deepest thanks for your generosity and compassion.

It looks like the Christmas tree is going to make it thru another year--the cats have stayed off of it! They sure have been climbing up to the top shelves to look at it though!
All is good here. I do believe we are finally on the end of this different virus that entered here. There have been no residual affects of this particular virus, for which I'm thankful for. Just takes time, antibiotics and watchfulness, good food, vaccinations. Remember that wonderful fun-raiser we did for Fabio Fiver? That money was designated for medical needs. I am very grateful for that--we have used it heavily to help us with this healing process.
The tree trimmers will be here next week. We have some dead trees on the backside of the playground for the Covies. We need this cleaned up and removed so the branches do not come down and damage the fence. Have to protect our Covies!
They tree trimmers will also remove the tree that is alongside the grey barn where some of the Barnies like to be. This tree has been dead for a couple years and needs removed so no damage happens to the roof. We have to protect our Barnies too!
We had a little snow here yesterday morning early but it has already melted due to warm temps. Now comes the cold--the high this week is to be in the mid teens. We checked and started the snowblowers just in case they are needed.
Take care, have a wonderful Sunday and Christmas. Know that you are important to FFRC!

Wow--this is definitely going to be a blog of major thanks. We had BOXES and ENVELOPES yesterday and I was blown away.......again......by your generosity. My heart is full of thanksgiving for you all. You all are a very real part of this Rescue Center--even those of you who have never been here before. It amazes me how well many of you know these cats and kittens here--even from afar. And please don't ever think that I downsize the love you have for them--I can "feel" that love and compassion right there thru that cam! And the cats know it too!

We have a new kitten. His name is Trey. He arrived after being found outside all by himself. Trey is 11 1/2 weeks old with a birthday of 121/21/17. He arrived yesterday. He's a beige boy with a big heart and whopping purr!
Suka, Kota, KaeKaae, Bambi, Bloom and Brielle are all doing good. They have pulled Trey in as their friend. This group of kittens are in the middle Thumper's Room and sometimes also in the back with the last 2 Persian babies. They are rockin' and rollin' together!
Vincent continues to do well. His hiney and other parts are healing quickly. He's still on medication for a little longer yet.
We also took in a past FFRC cat--wait, once an FFRC cat, always an FFRC cat! Eclair is her name and she was originaly here 8/12/2010. She was just 9 weeks old. Her birthday is 6/10/10. She's been with the same dad all these years and was returned 12/20. Her dad is quite ill and can no longer care for her. She's white with grey on her head and a tiger tail. She's doing ok--I can tell she misses her home but she is trying really hard to fit back in. She's in the 2 Thumper's Rooms to cruise about. A very nice cat.

Tuesday evening, December 19, 2017
One of my favorite things--spaying and neutering! Today is our HumaneOhio transport day. We loaded up 35 cats this morning--20 females and 15 males. 2 males and 2 females were FFRC's kittens. The 2 males we sent to HumaneOhio are Jericho and Jester.
Our grand total now for 2017 is complete as we will soon start 2018 and a fresh slate. Our grand total is 914, which consists of 542 females and 362 males.
For 2016, our grand total was 563. We did 335 females and 228 males.
My goal for 2018 is to reach over 1,000. We can do this!
Many many thanks to you all-----

Remember our two wonderful kittens--Allman and Arlo? I've just received a note that they are doing great. They love their Christmas toys and tuck their toys into the branches! They are loved!
I've seen pictures of Tsakani in his new home. Looks like he loves the comfort of home-living already! I am thrilled about his adoption!
We had 2 more adoptions!
Purrcivel went into his new home on Monday. He was a special Christmas present for the lady of the house! I know without a doubt that he will love having his own home!
Alvin left today. He has a fun-packed home already with brothers and sisters to play with. I've already seen pictures and he loves the couch for naps already!
Our new little Vincent Van Gogh is doing wonderful. It's amazing how fast his bum, tummy and legs are healing. And he so loves to play. He will be in the Main Area very soon. Such a sweetie kitten. Vincent loves to be held and will cuddle under the neck!
We also have some new kittens that we have taken in:
Suka--a little grey & white kitten, female. She's a little shy yet but so wants to be brave. She's working on her self confidence. More info later on her.
Kota and KaeKae--these two kittens arrived on 12/18. They are 5 months old with a birthday of 7/9/17. They were in danger of being dumped "somewhere" which would have been extra sad as they are so very sweet and friendly. Dumping is always hurtful to cats. Kota is mostly white with 1 white ear and 1 black ear and 2 black rings on her tail. KaeKae is black and white with white/black speckles on her feet--very cute. They are the 2 females that were went up to HumaneOhio today.
Bambi, Bloom and Brielle--these 3 female kittens arrived today. We had told the owner that if she brought the mama to be spayed today, we would take the 3 kittens. They were born inside and have never been outside. Their birthdate is 11/1/17. Bambi is all brown tiger. Bloom is a light grey tiger with cream on her forehead. Brielle is a brown tiger with a tiny bit of torti. All three are friendly and cuddle up together for a nap!
Today was our Flash Sale. This is the last Flash Sale for 2017. I thank Mich and Lynnette for doing this sale. And I thank everyone who donated the items that were sold. And the mods---the Flash Sale team is wonderful! And for all those that purchased the items---a big thanks!
Take care and love on your pets! It'll keep you warm! Remember Coralie and provide a warm bed, electric water bowl and good food for all pets outside. It's so important.
Our grand total now for 2017 is complete as we will soon start 2018 and a fresh slate. Our grand total is 914, which consists of 542 females and 362 males.

Remember our two wonderful kittens--Allman and Arlo? I've just received a note that they are doing great. They love their Christmas toys and tuck their toys into the branches! They are loved!
I've seen pictures of Tsakani in his new home. Looks like he loves the comfort of home-living already! I am thrilled about his adoption!
We had 2 more adoptions!
Purrcivel went into his new home on Monday. He was a special Christmas present for the lady of the house! I know without a doubt that he will love having his own home!
Alvin left today. He has a fun-packed home already with brothers and sisters to play with. I've already seen pictures and he loves the couch for naps already!
Our new little Vincent Van Gogh is doing wonderful. It's amazing how fast his bum, tummy and legs are healing. And he so loves to play. He will be in the Main Area very soon. Such a sweetie kitten. Vincent loves to be held and will cuddle under the neck!
We also have some new kittens that we have taken in:
Suka--a little grey & white kitten, female. She's a little shy yet but so wants to be brave. She's working on her self confidence. More info later on her.
Kota and KaeKae--these two kittens arrived on 12/18. They are 5 months old with a birthday of 7/9/17. They were in danger of being dumped "somewhere" which would have been extra sad as they are so very sweet and friendly. Dumping is always hurtful to cats. Kota is mostly white with 1 white ear and 1 black ear and 2 black rings on her tail. KaeKae is black and white with white/black speckles on her feet--very cute. They are the 2 females that were went up to HumaneOhio today.
Bambi, Bloom and Brielle--these 3 female kittens arrived today. We had told the owner that if she brought the mama to be spayed today, we would take the 3 kittens. They were born inside and have never been outside. Their birthdate is 11/1/17. Bambi is all brown tiger. Bloom is a light grey tiger with cream on her forehead. Brielle is a brown tiger with a tiny bit of torti. All three are friendly and cuddle up together for a nap!

Sunday, December 17, 2017
Finally......the upside down Christmas tree is up! It's been a very busy week here and we just haven't had time. Now.......which cat will be the first to try and jump onto it from the top shelf? I'm betting on Clay!
Wow---a busy adoption time.
Thursday:
Ina was adopted. We've seen her yesterday again and they sure do love her!
Boni and Tindle were adopted together! Boni was an Oxbow Lake kitten and Tindle was dropped off in the parking lot.
And then on Friday, the Persian adoptions started.
Marshmellow--Persian, went to a home that was long anticipated! Marshmellow, is now known as Molly. She was visited weekly and so already knew her new family before leaving.
Arvin--Persian, was next to leave. His new name is Walter. We've seen pictures of him on FB and he definitely has fit in beautifully.
Pauly--adopted into a home where he picked his new family! I love when that happens.
Purrkins--Persian, her new mama was very excited to have this little girl
Moane & Lynn--Persians--went to our very own Lynnette who has been waiting since the day they were born to take them home!
Saturday:
London--went to his new home. He sure did cuddle in fast with his new family.
Mally & Shalimar--Persians--his mama and Godmother & Godfather all came to pick these kittens up! Another great home!
And more adoptions coming up!
The two newbies, Jericho and Jester are doing great. They are little purr machines. They are spending a little time in the new condos in the Purple Office just to reinforce litterbox usage. They love to play and are very happy.
We also took in a new little kitten. This little kitten has had a rough time. He was found in a barn, a stray of unknown history. What we do know is that he arrived with the largest poo-ball stuck to him--about the size of a grapefruit. After much soaking, it was finally removed only to find his whole anal area, tummy and inside back legs severely red, open and seeping. Poor little guy couldn't even sit down. He needed an extra strong name and so he was named Vincent Van Gogh. He arrived 12/15 and his birthday is 10/3/17, making him 10 1/2 weeks old. He also had fleas and is thin. Today he is much better. With his med treatments, the redness is toned down somewhat and he can now sit softly! He will purr before he's even touched! Vincent Van Gogh is a long hair grey/white boy.
We had BOXES and Envelopes last night! What an awesome time! I thank you for your support.

Ming and Sunday adoption:
We had a very special adoption today. As many of you already know, Lori and family lost their precious Ming due to a brain tumor. The grief is big for them and for many of our FFRC followers. Sometimes it's just too hard, missing a cat that is gone and the need to have another one is strong. To me, I feel this is a way of honoring the love that was there for the departed cat and the family. So.....Lori and hubby came over already knowing which cat they wanted to adopt. And that was Tsakani. I am thrilled about this. The "strange" thing about this is the day Lori called me about Ming, each time I thought of the family, Tsakani came to my mind. Lori has already emailed me and said that he cried a bit in the car but once they got home, he has been rubbing on them and walking around relaxed! I am thrilled for Tsakani and Lori's family.
And we have more thanks to give:
Fran D--donation to Feliz Navidad Fund in memory of Boy King Ming and in honor of his family
Pamela/cincycat from OH--a Christmas donation to FFRC
Gillian H from UK--a donation to FFRC (a lurker now for 5 years)

Our goal: to get the two Persian kittens here in the Main Area and then have the 2 mamas in the back Thumper's Room to get use to the kitties being gone. And then, we will intermingle them here in the Main Area too. As soon as Paris and Purlissa are spayed, they will be going to their new homes.
So far, so good......no kitties have jumped on the tree......yet! Have a wonderful week!
